Why is Facial Hair
Better for Men?

I like having some type of facial hair. I enjoyed those first few wisps back in my early teens and then was always growing it during high school and college. It was just a fun thing to do. Something the guys were always working on and commenting about.

But I always shaved it tight whenever I was going to go out. I mistakenly thought I looked better clean shaven. I guess I was following the tired old advice that people trust men who are clean shaven.

This idea is one of the stupidest ever.

You never see a politician, banker, CEO, military generals or talking head in the media without a clean shaved face. Yet these guys are the worst liars and scum of the earth. If they are not directing the slaughter of innocents, finding ways to tax and regulate us out of existence, they are apologizing for the ones that do.

It is hard to believe that any rational person on earth can be swayed by a lying, clean shaven face, but it happens every day.

Now, when you look at one of the smooth talking, clean shaven faces you will see what I see, a liar who will do anything to increase his power.

Of course, facial hair does not make you honest.

All it does is make you look like a man. Since that is the essence of this website that is what I am trying to explain.

The more you look like a man the more you will attract women.

Women love men with some facial hair as long as it is carefully groomed and not too overgrown. You need to carefully plan how you use your beard, mustache and sideburns to your advantage.

I think they love it because it makes you look like a man and they cannot grow one. Although I did spend a wild night long ago with a cute girl with a fairly nice stubble on her chin.

You need to be careful around people who insist that you not have a beard. This usually means the person is a control freak who will think nothing of insisting you look the way they want you to look.

My high school basketball coach insisted we not have beards. You would not play if you showed up with anything on your face except a smile. To him, your skills on the basketball court meant nothing. Of course, I had no skills in basketball anyway and did not play, but I still kept a clean shaved face to satisfy his lunatic behavior. Even the starters shaved to keep him happy.

My wife also insisted I keep a clean shaved face. If I ever let it grow a little on the weekends she would get all upset and say it caused her face to break out.

One time I had a Thursday and Friday off from work. I let my whole beard grow during that time. On Sunday I shaved except for my mustache. We had a family get together with her parents that day.

One hour into the drive to her parents house she noticed my mustache and flew into a rage. She spent the next hour berating my thoughtless behavior and screaming how her father could not stand a mustache. I tried to point out it was my face, not his, but she wouldn't listen.

One more reason I left her.

It was my face after all. I should be able to grow some facial hair once in awhile.

If you have a job you can at least let your sideburns grow. This seems to be at least something you can get away with.

Go ahead and grow whatever type of beard you want. It is your face. Not only will you feel better, more like a man, you will look better.
