Hey FAN why do you have (or not have) facial hair?

[willywonka666]

Random question, some can't stand it because it itches, some may never want to be seen without it, but why is this FAN?

I've wanted to grow a mustache ever since I saw Groucho Marx as a kid, though his turned out to be greasepaint most of the time, I just knew I had to have it but generally wear a beard as it suits me better and although I might trim it to stubble often, I cannot bring myself to go clean shaven, unless it was for a certain occasion like Halloween


You?

[Mozenrath]

Couple of reasons.

I feel more comfortable with a beard than stubble or being clean shaven.

Beards and mustaches supposedly help alleviate airborne allergies, I guess helping keep some allergens out. That's a nifty bonus.

I think I look better with a beard, and frankly, most of the partners I have had seem to prefer beards to clean shaven. If I guess the sort of people I date like it more, and I like it more, why not look like Son of Havoc's secret cousin, Nephew of Havoc?

Too many patches for me to really pull it off. I went a few weeks without shaving for Mania so I could wear a KO cosplay, but it was never going to look right.

I've done a goatee in the past, and some sideburns when I was 19, but I'd rather just shave these days than worry about trimming it.

[Bo Rida]

Mostly due to it being better for my skin.

Plus it makes me look older, balances out my longer hair and it's (probably?) better for my asthma.

I pretty much always have stubble. Even if I shave everyday, which I'm not gonna do, I'd still have stubble. I've grown a beard a couple of times, the last time it got completely out of control and I kept getting food in it. When I shaved it, it looked like someone threw a cat in the garbage can. Plus, getting there was mad itchy.

Stubble is the only happy medium.

I like having a short beard, girlfriend likes it and i'm too lazy to shave every day.

My facial hair is a double edged sword.
Ill go a good week with nothing more then stubble but after 2 weeks, it's kinda like Steve Austin's goatee and it starts to bug me.

Same. I shave once a week, or when it gets too itchy.

I'd love to have a beard, unfortunately I can't grow anything other then a bunch of loose strands that go in all kinds of different directions. That's only on my chin and under my nose though. Can't grow anything on my cheeks at all.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Takes entirely too long to even get a good goatee going, much less a 'stache. I just get impatient.

Plus, dimples are like forty eight percent of what makes my face presentable, so covering em seems like a dumb idea.

For some reason my facial hair grows ridiculously fast if I don't shave for a week I could get a job as lumberjack model for a multi-state print and digital campaign so if I had my druthers I'd shave 2 to 3 times a year but it does make me look way older but if I want to show off my boyish charms as a special treat for the ladies I shave that sucker.Most women I've met are not fans of the beard but they need to learn that not everything's about them.

[Mister Pigwell]

I look 12 if I shave.

[edgestar]

It just wouldn't suit me

[Stu]

I have a habit of picking at my facial hair whenever it grows beyond stubble length. I'll be sitting at my computer and all of a sudden start running my thumb and index finder up and down the sides of my mouth and it's hard to stop. So essentially, I shave just to make myself stop touching my beard.

[SmashTV]

I've got sideburns and a goatee, as my avatar shows; without them, my face looks long and misshapen - in fact, it slightly resembles a footprint.


That said, my goatee isn't as bushy as illustrated here, but it does the trick to make my face look more compact.

[bibboid]

Camouflage.
When I am relaxed, the corners of my mouth turn down. (Resting bitch-face?) For years people would assume I was in a bad mood because of my natural facial expression. When I grew the moustache, my friends all said I looked happier. Easier than plastering a forced grin on my face.

It doesn't get itchy after week and a half or two weeks. Than again I have had a beard for nearly 3 years now. I just look good with a beard, I don't like shaving, and honestly I keep forgetting I have one. It's just a natural part of my face.

[The Unconquered Sun]

It's just to much work for me to take of and look good. When I did grow one I didn't take that good of care of it and looked like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. So I just shave every couple of days and wind up with Jim Lee drawing Batman stubble.

"Look"

I'm a female. That's why I don't have facial hair.

[Fade]

I really think beards are overrated.

Also I look like a hobo with one, so..
