10 real reasons men like me grow beards: 1) Facial hair is cool. Seriously. Having a dark forest of hair covering your face gives you an aura of suave mystery and a classy, debonair air. 2) We grow facial hair because it makes us manlier. Sean Connery (as Indiana Jones dad), Russell Crowe (Maximus), Tom Selleck (Magnum, P.I.) and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) spring immediately to mind. Having any sort of facial hair means youre not a metro man. Its theoretically possibly to be manly without a beard, moustache or goatee — Daniel Craig (the new James Bond) is a prime example — but having a beard really does help. 3) We grow facial hair because it makes us look like Chuck Norris. Norris is the poster man for action. Norris has a beard (note that its still well-trimmed). Therefore we should have beards. The logic is unstoppable — just like Norris roundhouse kicks. On the Internet, its rumored that Norris doesnt have a chin under his beard, just another fist. But the beards still important. 4) We grow facial hair because we like the way it feels. Think about it: You might have hair on your head, but we have it on our chins. Let me elaborate with the next two points. 5) We grow facial hair because we like to stroke it while we think. Nothing else can make us look more intelligent. 6) We grow facial hair because with it we can scratch our manly arms and shoulders. Contrary to popular belief (especially among those of the female persuasion), beards are not really itchy. Sure, they might be a little itchy those first few weeks, but after a while, that feeling goes away. In fact, the natural scrubby pad that is our chins is perfect for taking care of other itchy parts of our upper body, like our huge biceps. 7) We grow facial hair because we like the way it smells. Really. It smells good. You have to rub it a few times, but the sheer manly scent generated is second only to the wonderful aroma of a crew cut. Its hard to describe, but bearded men know what I am talking about. 8) We grow facial hair because we can store food in our beards. Did you enjoy that smore you had earlier? Good. You can lick your beard and still pick out bits of graham cracker, chocolate bar and marshmallow for hours afterward. 9) We grow facial hair because the chicks dig it. Err ... I mean, women find beards attractive. Ok, maybe just some girls. But Ill take any reasonable advantage I can get. 10) We grow facial hair because were lazy, but in a good way. Think of it as a sort of laissez-fair outlook on life. If you dont shave, you save time for more important things, like getting an extra 15 minutes of sleep or perhaps breakfast. Remember: This is not an excuse for being a slob; if you have beard, you should try to keep it under control. If you (girls) were skeptical before, now you have all of the above to ponder. For the men with beards out there, I salute you. Keep on growin your symbols of manliness this fine November. For the guys without beards who might be reading this, I encourage you to grow hair on those chins. Youll feel more like a man than ever before. You can take my beard for it.
