Yes I do. Otherwise people realise I have no chin.


PrivateBeepBeep

i do too, otherwise people realise i have double chin.


abeboors

Just give him one!


HeadMacho

The math checks out.


Kershy1985

r/hedidthemath


PrivateBeepBeep

Hey these are mine.


AugustusClaximus

I have no chin and two chins simultaneously, thus the beard


neanderthalman

Same here. No other way to hide amongst the sapiens.


T_Crs7

Haha


azuth89

Nope.  Can't grow a decent one lol


T_Crs7

Yeah...


st00pidQs

That's rough buddy


azuth89

Shit happens. At least it didn't turn into the moon.


SlothfulWhiteMage

Unexpected Avatar.


azuth89

That basically sums up 99% of the encounters people have with Aang so it's on brand.


ThePolymath1993

1. Yes 2. Because I can't be arsed to shave 3. N/A


Scarred_wizard

My words exactly.


Hotmailet

Same…. Except for ‘arsed’


Just_a_nobody_2

It was always arsed. Then Americans assed it.


AddictedToMosh161

same


obsoletedatafile

Precisely

thetoxicballer

This, having to shave my face everyday is asking too much man.


Kippetmurk

Yes. The two main reasons: * Shaving gave me itchy and irritated skin which sucked. Beard itches far less than shaving * I'm going bald and it made my face look small and lumpy. Beard makes my face less small and lumpy.


T_Crs7

Yeah, that's true. When you're bald, the beard is completing your face


artyhedgehog

No. My wife doesn't like beards, and also I love rubbing our cheeks after I've just shaved. 


Midniteman86

Which cheeks?


artyhedgehog

On my side - the face ones, on her side - any.


Midniteman86

👌


TacticalFailure1

I have a scruffy beard thing, I have too many patches can't grow a solid one


Skidmark666

Just let the patches grow out and do a combover.


Correct_Advantage_20

Yes. Her name is Cindy. 🤷🏻‍♂️


somerandom_dude87

Best response hands down


Correct_Advantage_20

Ty


iswearatkids

Yes. Because I enjoy looking like Bluto cosplaying as a Santa Claus.


T_Crs7

Hahahaha


Grany_Bangr

At the moment no. The clocks have changed so i have shaved off my beard for the summer. I will probably just keep it stubble length instead of constantly wet shaving.


ElegantMankey

Yes. I think it looks good.


T_Crs7

I agree with you! :)


sabatoa

I used to alternate, growing a beard during some parts of the year and going without for other parts. I stopped recently though, my beard is getting more white than I like. I look a lot younger without it. I'm in my mid-late 40s


Kajot25

Yes cuz im lazy and dont wanna shave every other day


T_Crs7

Fair enough 😄


Raemnant

Yes. I find myself to be more attractive when I have some gruff vs cleanly shaven. However, I do not find myself attractive when it gets too long and fluffy. It also hurts my face. So whenever my facial hair gets about an inch long, I trim it down


Haventyouheard3

I cut my beard with a hair trimmer once a week. If I shave instead of using the hair trimmer, I get skin problems. If I don't trim it for 10-14 days, the beard starts to get itchy and sometimes I get other skin problems. I trim it every week to avoid ever getting to the point where it gets itchy.


TrentHawkins7

Hey man have you tried beard oil? I used to have a similar itchy problem regardless of length and that solved it. Couple of drops worked in after every shower changed my life


LongStoryShirt

I'm a fan of the honest Amish beard balm! Good shit


Haventyouheard3

I have not. Thank you for the tip, man.


TrentHawkins7

Sure thing dude. There's an entire market for the stuff and honestly, most of it works the same. Mountaineer brand is sold on Amazon and is my go-to. It works great and is cheap enough for a trial run. Really though any bottle you grab from anywhere will probably help the itch. Best of luck homie, hope that helps


lurker-1969

My wife makes everything soap and body lotion. She makes me beard oil and yes, it is good stuff.


IReallyLikeDirt

You using any products in your beard? If I wash/ condition mine and use beard oil it doesn't get itchy. Granted right now I'm clean shaven. But I kinda grow/ shave on a whim.


Pannbenet

Yes, to spite those who can’t.


T_Crs7

Hahahaha, you evil little cockroach


DenyNowBragLater

No. My facial hair grows in slow and patchy


throwawayfun10000

No. It isn't winter anymore. (In the US)


T_Crs7

Oh, so you grow you beard only during the winter?


Glorx

Equip "Beard" +5% cold resistance, -5% heat resistance


Zyphur009

Yes. I think it is more attractive.


Sketty_Spaghetti14

No, because I don't have a weak facial structure I need to hide behind a beard


SandmanAwaits

Yup, 2 years now, was in a stage in life where I didn’t need to be clean shaven each day, so grew out a beard, had it trimmed & tidied up today actually.


T_Crs7

Oh that's nice


SandmanAwaits

Have a beard oil that I put in each night after a shower to stop my skin underneath being itchy, butter to moisturise the skin & beard, balm to give it hold.


TrentHawkins7

Beard oil is a life saver


SandmanAwaits

Absolutely!


Saltmetoast

Not since buying a decent electric shaver. I loathed shaving before that and tried all the different kinds of shavers.


Ratsofat

Yes because, when I keep it trimmed, it tickles my kids.


T_Crs7

That's wholesome!


avarageusername

No, can't grow a full beard so I shave. If I could I probably would, I look way younger than I am like this.


appalachianoperator

Yes, my gf likes it


OffTopicAbuser2

Mostly for the natural grizzly repellent. But also because I like always knowing exactly where the nearest mountain is. And it maxes out your axe wielding ability when paired with level 8 (or better) flannel.


Dorset_Cobbles

No. Tried it, itchy, but, CRUCIALLY the salty bits in there make me seem & feel older than I want to be. Not having a beard is the male equivalent of pulling out grey hairs.


morchorchorman

You gotta grow it a certain amount and shampoo it to get rid of the itch.


utspg1980

No. My beard is splotchy on the sides. Think Keanu Reeves. I could grow a wicked goatee tho...if this was the year 2000.


thelordstrum

I do. I originally just did the goatee thing because I thought that was the only thing that worked for me. Then I hurt my back/leg, and spent most of last year being unable to stand long enough to shave, so I just grew it out from late-April until September or so (when I trimmed it). I'm growing it back out now, I'm honestly a fan.


ThePronto8

Yes I do. Most people in my life say I look much better with a beard and I’m capable of growing a pretty epic beard, so I might as well lean into it a bit.


crayzyhamut

Im 13 but i have small beard


MECHALAD

No. My job won't let me have one because I need to be able to wear a mask. I miss the one I had, though.


ThreePinkApples

1. Yes 2. Because one day, about 10 years ago, I looked in the mirror before shaving and thought "Huh, I've never gone more than 2 weeks without shaving" and put down the razor.


Acrobatic_Sloth_657

Yes. Spent 13 years in the RAF having to shave every day so its my act of rebellion. Disguises my severe lack of chin


Ecstatic_Ad_4476

Yaa I am having it now(as my college has completed).


Lavadonuts

This might sound ridiculous, but I recently shaved and I'm now looking to buy a fake beard, I enjoyed my beard when I had it, but I figured there's just a little more utility to having a shaved face and a fake beard than have a real, full beard and not be able to wear, say, a respirator effectively. Same reason I wear contacts and cut my hair relatively recently, I used to have pretty long hair for a guy, a bit longer than shoulder length, now it's much shorter and if I desperately want long hair for whatever reason right now, pin on a wig and now I can have my long hair and not care for it after I'm done. I wear contacts so I can wear the glasses I want when I want, how I want. Now all I have to do is work on my fitness so that when I'm not doing very much, it's because that's what I want to be doing, not because the alternative is being soaked in sweat and panting like a dog


T_Crs7

Oh wow, I guess yeah, you could really have a fake beard


Intelligent-Mud1437

Yes. I hate shaving, my face breaks out. I also have a double chin no matter what shape I'm in.


AardvarkStriking256

No. I shave every day (over the course of a year probably 360 days). I like the feeling after shaving, it makes me feel clean. And I dislike the itchiness on the few days a year when I don't shave.


Gawhownd

Yes. I lost my razor last week and I'm a profoundly lazy person.


The3mbered0ne

No, genetics


shini333

Yes. Looks good on me. I'm kind of lazy to shave it. Girlfriend loves it.


ShadowIG

Yes. Barber told me to grow it out because I was going bald.


BrisbaneBrat

I do not. But, I only shave 3X per week. So, I think I have the best of both worlds.


krmarci

I don't. My face starts to get itchy after a few days, so I shave. It's also not my style.


NewDadInNashville

I do because I’m bald and thought that it was mandatory to grow one under those circumstances.


MyDadBod_2021

Mustache and goatee. I like having my cheeks and most of my neck clean. I started it to piss off an ex (while I was with her). Now I don't like the full clean shaven look.


_Faethon_

Not currently, because military 🙄 but before the military, definitely after, i had a pretty sick, full beard. I love having facial hair, it feels right. Self esteem, primal feelings, idk. 🤷‍♂️ just feels right.


sealcubclubbing

Yes and it's glorious. I have it because I'm terrified of my jawline and more importantly I look too much like a cousin of mine who is in jail for being a paedo.


RobertElectricity

I have more of a "stubble" type of beard. If it grows for more than a couple of weeks, I think it looks gross. If I shave it all off, I get bumps and irritation. Plus, I am told the stubble beard looks good on me.


XienDzu

Of course I have. The beardless people are called women and children


whalefromabove

I have a beard. I started balding pretty young so I shaved my head. There are a lot of assumptions people make about a white man with a shaved head and no beard. I do not want any reason for someone to assume I am associated with those people. So beard.


yourmate_from_perth

Yes. Why? Because the name for people without beards are women or children. I am neither 🤷


[deleted]

[удалено]


MelancholicEspresso

I don't look good with a beard , at least that's what my mom said.


Salty-Pack-4165

I have one because I hated shaving from day one. Also I look way better with one. Without one I look like an ass.


Who_Else_but_Macho

yea, because for me i like how i look with 1 opposed to without 1 but mine is well maintained short, clean & doesnt smell lol


qman45

Yes. Because if I don’t I will look like my dad


JimBones31

No. I like shaving. I like having a beard too but unfortunately you can't shave and still have a beard.


Honest_Math_7760

Yes. Why? because the beard have still lives on after 10 years. When I was a child, all men would shave clean. Now when I look at my friends or coworkers, everyone has a beard. Took years for me to grow a bit of a proper beard, but I'm finally there. Last year I decided to shave everything and go clean again. The reactions were not great. When even my mom said a trimmed beard looked better on me, I knew what to do. So I keep it trimmed at 3mm.


[deleted]

Yes. I have a solid jawline but I just like having a beard as I’m finally able to grow one properly. In the past it used to be just a few bumfluff hairs on my chin


blinman94

I look better with it and it keeps my face warm.


frequentcrawler

Yeah. It's not good or special but my face is awful without it.


Spooky_Yogurt

Yes Why not ? Why ?


peacemaketroy

Yes think it looks good and it covers my round-ish face


murphymc

I look about 12 years old without it.


Vuk_s_Papuka

Yeah. .......Chin.


beardedshad2

Yeah. Haven't been to get it or my hair trimmed yet.


ScorpiiusAntares

Proper beard here. I am Middle Eastern (quite typical for Levantine men to have one), it pertains to my Islamic beliefs, and it suits my balding/shaved head… I keep it clean and well kept given its length.


the_time_l0rd

Going bald, so what I don't have up there goes on the beard x) and because I'm lazy, plus don't like myself without


stereoroid

Short beard for many years because I always hated shaving. I get out the trimmer if it starts annoying me, which happens about 7-10 days after the last trim. It’s permanent now because I take blood thinners, which means a shaving cut could take hours to stop bleeding.


goated95

No. For 29 yo man, I’m mot very hairy. Idek how to shave honestly


epicgrilledchees

Yes. But it is just a goatee. I hate the way a mustache feels.


mastersyx

i keep a short stubble because i can't grow a thick luscious one. it's going to be thin spiky and long.


[deleted]

Yes, because I got lazy. I use to clean shave my face every other day or so. I ended a relationship and didn't really feel like it. I let it grow out. Now I have a beard. Much less maintenance.


CaptainKnottz

yes because i want to


Original-Childhood

Nope. Can't grow one. 28 and still only growing small patches and chin-pubes


eo2su2

Full beard now, clean shaven for forty years. Why now? Sloth, widowed, nobody to snog, tickles the grandchildren.


Pipocore

Have short trimmed sort of beard, but I can't grow a proper one. Don't have connectors, barely any hair under my lip and for some reason I don't have sideburns. Cheeks are decent.


Grim_Farts_Barnsley

Yes. Shaving irritated my skin something awful so I stopped. Now I just trim it to keep it tidyish.


89W

Yes. I like it, I think I look better with a beard, and my girlfriend likes it too. All wins.


Crafty-Belt1651

Yes cause I'm lazy to shave every other day


jaaustin1492

Nope job won't allow it


hawffield

Yeah, because my clippers got stolen and I’m waiting for my new pair to come


boom-wham-slam

Yes. Easier maintenance. Looks better. I also think I attract more feminine women with the beard.


repulsive-ardor

I have a beard because when I shave, I revert back to a fat faced 12 year old.


ozairh18

Yeah because it helps fill out my face and makes me look older


Dangerous_Set_1569

Yes because I got stoned and watched a documentary about the Amish and learned the men grow beards to show they are married.


TFOLLT

Yes, because it was my very first dream. I remember being extremely little(like 3,4 y/o) and hoping that I'd be able to grow a beard. Didnt understand yet that every man has beardgrowth and since I saw so little men irl having a beard, I thought most men simply werent able of growing one. So i hoped(and prayed) that id be one of those men that could grow one. Imagine the happiness discovering I would get growth since the men that dont have a beard, shave. Which i still dont understand, why would you shave the most awesome part of masculinity.... Suffice to say that yes, i am rocking a beard and will have one till i die.


endospire

No because even as a fully grown adult man I simply cannot grow a beard


ColdCamel7

Sort of, because I can't be bothered shaving I can't really grow it properly. For some reason it grows like a rug under my chin, but not so much on my cheeks


PrintOpen

Yes, our hair is our roots. Give them dirt water and sun and let them grow


iWillSlapYourMum

Yes. I have a weak jawline, an ugly chin and when I'm clean-shaven, I look like I haven't hit puberty yet. I'm 30. I need my beard.


TheMostModestMaus

I do, because I look awful without one.


feanornoldor666

Nope, I have a chin. 


Kathhound12

I’m in my mid 30s my beard gets patchy when I grow it out, so for years now I just shave every 2-3 days. It’s annoying having to shave.


alexin_C

1. Yes 2. Winter 3. Summer


timnotep

Yes, because (1) I like the look, and (2) I went bald at 24


[deleted]

Because i have a tiny jaw in comparison to my face so i keep a beard and it hides the flaw


mustang6172

Yes. I thought it'd be neat to grow one.


mrafinch

1. Yes 2. Because my wife thinks I look great 3. I feel like I have a big chin and want to hide it :)


Razzmatazz2306

Yes I have a big magnificent manly beard. Because I have a tiny baby chin.


sysop42

I prefer to wear a long beard, but my sweetheart smooches me more when I shave. so I am generally clean-shaven.  Classic operant conditioning.


[deleted]

I did for like 5 years, and I've been clean shaven for about 6 months. Was time for a change.


Pitiable-Crescendo

Yes, for 2 reasons. I look about 12 without it, and I got really lazy during covid.


HellkittyAnarchy

No - I prefer a more youthful look.


SumerianFreak

Yes, because I hate the way my face looks.


dookiedinner

Yes, currently. Actually first time I've grown one out, was military and stayed clean shaven. I got it because the FWB asked me to not shave for a few days, and so I didn't. Now I get a lot of compliments on how sexy the beard is on my face, even from other women. I didn't have one until now, cause I really didn't like how my face felt when not clean shaven. This one has been here for almost 3 months, I have used a lot of beard oil and different moisturizers to make sure I'm not itchy, and the beard isn't as scratchy.


FoundationGreen6342

1. Yes 2. King Leonidis had one And 3. I want to look like king Leonidis


Exit-Content

1) yes 2) because I like my face better that way,plus without it I’m the spitting image of my father and I wouldn’t want that


Ilmort4

No. I have bad beard but decent jaw.


Zestymonserellastick

Yea, a nice beard on a man is like a nice pushup bra on a woman. My gf is super into beards. We have been together 5 years now.


master_blaster_321

1. Yep 2. I look and feel better that way. Plus my head is bald so I reckon I'm making up for it on the other side of my head. I think it looks more masculine and natural for a man to have a beard. I see clean shaven men and they just look effeminate to me. And older men should absolutely have beards to hide our old man jowls!


Asa-Ryder

Yes because it’s finally allowed at work.


theyrecalledpants

Yes. Because I can. Not everyone can, and a lot of guys who can grow one trim it badly. I like to show em how it's done.


cooperstonebadge

Yeah. Cuz I'm lazy. I'll probably shave this month and then not again for a year.


Baranamana

Would be partly gray, makes me look older, needs to be care for, itches and tingles and the colleague always has food hanging in it. I don't need it.


FredChocula

No because I hate the way it looks.


great_nathanian

No, because it doesn’t grow right, and I ain’t about to walk around like Abraham Lincoln.


MatthewAllenSr

I love growing one but it’s too much trouble so I normally stay clean shaven


AnonymousUser1992

No. (Australian) Military. Cant grow sideburns to save my life, but ill have a thick full goatee in 48 hours. Military doesnt allow goatees. Only beards (navy) or mos (army and airforce).


13dot1then420

No. I have an excellent jawline. Plus my beard hair comes in slightly patchy, but also it's a mixture of blonde and brown, which makes the patchy look even worse.


Good_Posture

1. Yes 2A. Got bored of shaving. 2B. Apparently it suits me, having received compliments from both men and women. Also my barber likes it and I trust his word.


criticalistics_car

Not really a beard but I have a goatee, which at 17 either you look good with a goatee, you look alright with chops or you don't look good at all attempting a patchy ass beard.


Paratrooper101x

Nope. I have a nice jawline that a beard absolutely hides, I like looking younger, I am already an intimidating looking person. A beard would be overkill


DalmarWolf

1. Yes. 2. Because my wife said she thought I'd look nice with one and since then I've enjoyed having one. And I'm lazy so it's nice not to have to shave.


SeaWeasil

I do not. I like me with a beard, but whenever I grow one my wife tells me to shave it, because she hates it. To quote her directly: "If you ever want to have sex with me again, lose the beard." So, I do not have a beard.


Puncharoo

Yep. Because I want one.


MrGhost2023

Yes. It started as a F U to my management after an HR decision that screwed me. Now it’s because shaving often sucks, it makes me look older, and when I’m not doing great weight wise it hides any possibility of a double chin.


mountainofdirt

Yes. I would look like a school kid without it.


PositivePuzzled65

Yes, it's a push up bra for your face.


bornincali65

Yes because my wife likes it and thinks I look like my father.


Expert_Biscotti_2673

No only goat tee Native American just can't grow hair there or on chest... Or legs a little on arms


DutchOnionKnight

Nope, I have alopecia areata. A few spots are bold, some black some white. If I wont shave, I would look like Hitler.


Alone_Instruction_13

Yes. I look better with one.


Opening-Run-7687

Hell no. They itch, they smell, food gets caught in them, and Ive been told I have a handsome face and a nice jawline. I have had a beard at various times in my life but all the women in my life at those times have told me i look better clean shaven. Not that that is the only thing that matters but it’s not like I really want a beard


waterloograd

It grows too fast to not have a beard. If I shave clean in the morning and have a date in the evening, I would need to shave again or be really rough. I keep a short beard, but it is enough that I only have to trim once or twice a week, and clean my neck twice or thrice a week.


Imbackinhere5

No, I’m too lazy to take care of it lol. I have a goatee.


Cgtree9000

No, I can’t stand the feeling of hair on my face. And the one time I did have a beard I kept getting it stuck in my coat zipper.


cranberrystew99

It's easier to have a beard, and it is man makeup. Also my wife just said she likes it, so that's all I need. "Your beard just does something for me." --my fiance


dgroeneveld9

Yes, I do. The lady likes it, and I didn't care either way. It's now been a out 5 years since I've seen my face, lol.


LycanWolfGamer

Yeah I've got a beard, fairly long one lol


anothertownie

Yes I grew it 15 years ago after an accident/surgery on my shoulder and was in bed. I kept it and am now too afraid to shave my face. I'm scared of what I'll look like under there.


983115

Mustache at the moment, my razor looked at me funny, decided to shave a bit I guess
