I will have a go if you can explain to me in what way is it 'natural' to shave?

I will admit I don't find them too attractive on females. :)

It takes all sorts.
I don't think it would be so good if it were so serious all the time.


EDIT : Actually I nearly did a dissertation on this question (seriously!) so I guess when it comes to what is interesting its a case of personal preference.

Desmond Morris described why beards attract women biologically in such books as in his 1985 book Bodywatching [wont go into details here due to family audience etc !]. This page is also useful [check content before showing to kids] when reading about the history of human hair :

They have no appeal to me, I think that a man with face fungus looks a scruff, just as though he has no pride in his personal appearance.

I am amazed that a woman can bear to be seen with a person who has a beard and sideburns especially when they are not trimmed and cleaned.

Also, all that food and drink that gets caught up in the hair, must cause a smell. Horrible.!

Cheers for that RT. I for one found that a most interesting read. Love the last line :

"But moustaches are a mystery, to evolutionary biologists and to practically everyone else."

LOL... I might even sig it.

All senior Religious and other mythological figures have beards, such as the Gods of ancient Greek myth had big beards as well...

Why don't monkeys have beards? Is there a semi bearded missing link that we don't know about?

I'm afraid not - I have occasionally been known to sport a goatee to go with the whole evil schtick - but the full blown Salvador Dali is a bit beyond me!

Don't be afraid!People are more attractive without it.When people shave their beards off they tend to have no chin.Is that why they grow the beard or does it just disappear 'cos it feels invisible?

evildrneil
13-05-2004, 16:00
People grow beards mainly out of laziness and then remove them cos they itch!!!!

Examples : Craig David,that annoying one off Eastenders with the gambling brother

I know this is a very old thread..... but I just wanted to ask:

What is it with those little tufts of hair that some men have under their bottom lip?

(As seen on Father Tom and Stuart in Neighbours)

Just a square inch or so of hair under the bottom lip....... no moustache, no sideburns.

What is the point? I'm sure there must be one....... right?

My hubby has had a beard for the last 25 years to cover a scar on his chin and to be honest he looks much better with it then without!!! But it's so prickly!!!

Also just make sure he hasn't got a hairy back...never had the opportunity to get near one (lucky me!) and this is one thing I just couldn't get over (so to speak...)

I have always had a problem believing that ZZ tops beards were real. I would be tempted to give those bears a yank if I got the opportunity.

Is that what it's called? The little tuft under the lip?
