Men with beards are more attractive, healthier, research says Unless they grow them on their neck. Then they look like shi*.

Have you noticed more fuzzy-faced men lately?

That could be because there are several nationwide projects in November such as "No Shave November" and "Movember," which encourage men to grow mustaches and beards to raise awareness and money for cancer research.

Beards and mustaches have also become more mainstream and trendy, especially among hipsters and 20 to 30-year-olds.

Or maybe guys have just caught on to the research.

FULL story at link. 

Hoooo boy, here we go.

2. I like men with beards, as long as they're neatly trimmed.

They look more virile to me. Someone remind me to shave, today.

My husband wears a beard and mustache, and I love how he looks!

I'm glad to hear that facial hair reduces the risk of skin cancer, too.

22. I'm not seeing it...

Surprising number of comments.  Most in fun.

Actually, this saved my ass the other night:

Have you noticed more fuzzy-faced men lately?

Just before I shut things down and went to bed circa 10 p.m., the property caretaker was over here getting some stuff he needed for an emergency repair on another property.  He left, after which I shut things down and went to bed.

About 1:00 a.m., wherever he was, he decided he'd forgotten something, and as his wife in town was closer to here than he was, he telephoned her to come here, pick it up, and take it to him.

She came into the house and made a lot of noise so as to wake me up.

She's in her late 20s, good svelte body, jugs just the right size and firm, a pleasant person, a teacher at the local elementary school.  She doesn't know me all that well yet, and it took her a while to remember I'm deaf; I wouldn't hear her no matter how much noise she made.

So she walked into the bedroom and turned on the overhead light.

Oh Hell.

Retaining my nerves of steel and good eye-contact, I asked her what she wanted, and she told me.  It was a tool on the counter in the kitchen, and I took her to it.

Then, to keep her from further noticing something I didn't want her to see--she's after all a well-bred, respectable woman--maintaining the eye-contact, I rubbed my chin and apologized that I looked a little scruffy, as I hadn't shaved for four days, being ill with a bad cold.

I don't know what to tell the old neckbeard, but most of the womenfolk I have discussed facial hair with are against it for a variety of reasons.  

I'd say a lot of it has to do with what type of hair your facial hair is when it grows out.  

In the The Weeper's case, his neckbeard looks like an army of his pubic hairs surrendered the attempt to live in and around Steve's unwashed nether-regions, and so they marched up his neck and put up camp, where they can at least get some fresh air.

Time out while I go bleach my brain.   Aaaargh!

It must have bothered the weeping neckbeard when he checked in on the daily saga of Doug Bulna, to find his own appalling appearance compared to that of Doug:

I will never understand how anyone can allow themselves to look like Doug.

A little soap, a razor, and a haircut, and he could pass for a normal person.

That applies in spades to the Bellevue fat guy.

Shaving off that absurd neck beard, getting a nice tapered haircut with white sidewalls, cleaning up, and dressing neat would make his life so much easier.

Sloppy fat guys can make themselves look sort of presentable.

The late Jackie Gleason, Gov. Chris Christie...well, I can't think of others, but they're out there, make an effort to look reasonably normal and are rewarded.

There's no excuse for looking like Steve Dawes or Doug Bulna.

In all honesty, Steve looks worse than Doug Bulna.

Doug looks like a natural, easy, sloppy fat guy. He's looked like shit all his life and is resigned to it.

Steve is an even sloppier fat guy, but he looks uncomfortable, overstuffed, pressurized, like something may explode at any second.

Steve always looks sweaty too even in the winter.  Perpetual flop sweat.

I've had a beard since the mid-eighties.

This pic is from our 50 year HS reunion in 2006. Seven years later, it's all white. My blond hair has mostly faded to "gone" - an old family tradition.

Do NOT, let Calpig see that. Serious.

As soon as back acne, baldness, and an 8 inch belly overhang get sexy, the weeper is going to be up to his man boobs in chicks.

I prefer facial hair..light beard--more like a goatee but nothing ridiculous. My guy has it and he looks great with it. I preferred my ex too when he would grow out the facial hair. I too find it more masculine. Neither of the two DUmmies mentioned here look attractive either way though. They both are slovenly in appearance and facial hair will only add to that if you don't take care of yourself. Instead of looking masculine, it will add to the unkempt look if one is slovenly since the facial hair is usually as neglected as the rest of them. I'm talking facial hair that is well taken care of, nice haircut, clean, and cares about the condition of one's clothes(at least in public--home is meant for sweats and pjs so casual is a-ok there )

[miskie]

I'm Guessing this is (in-part) a reaction to the success of Duck Dynasty.

Because there is no way anyone in the media is going to report that men being men, Christianity, and family values are attractive features.


So, its gotta be the beards !

[vesta111]

Handlebar stashes.   Takes time and training so if the stash is groomed then I expect the rest of the man is also.

I like facial hair on my man, no face burn when necking, just nice soft hair. 

[GOBUCKS]

In most cases facial hair is the white man's equivalent to dreadlocks and saggy pants - a way of saying "screw you" to the majority.

From that perspective, maybe it serves a purpose.

Not really.  I grew a goatee out just because I could after I got out of the Army.  I cut it off do to the ex's protesting.  I don't have that problem anymore.

I've had a goat for 25+/- years for two reasons.

1. I look devilishly handsome.
2. Saves me 5-6 minutes everyday not shaving the chin area over and over.

[Airwolf]

If anyone here has seen the picture of the crazy commie from Bellevue Nebraska in a tux. Then you would know that there is no way in Hell he is living longer just for having the beard. Also last night he was wearing the same tux without the jacket at a charity event handing out programs for the movie to be shown that night.

[Gern]

With the Red Sox and their shaggy beards plastered all over New England media, I joked with my GF about letting my soul patch grow into a full Unibomber scraggly beard. 

She was not amused.

Whoa.

The big guy's moonlighting as a theater usher?

I've never made it a habit to go to movies, but now I wonder.

His first job at the theater was probably to be the elevator boy, but I think we all know why that wouldn't work.

"Sorry sir, full up!"

Yes, but does the goat like it?
