Beards and Facial Hair





I don't get it. Boys grow up waiting and hoping for the day that they can shave. Some of them even practice shaving in front of the mirror, or they even start shaving before they even have a need to. Then when it finally happens, when the day comes that there is an actual need to shave they become obsessed with growing it out. What happened to that boyhood dream of shaving? I'm not saying that I'm against beards, I've seen some nice ones, I just don't understand the obsession that some guys have. I've heard multiple conversations about what should be or could be done with the hair on a guy's face. I've even heard of a "Lorenzo Beard Growing Contest" that occurs over the breaks from school. I've listened to guys discussing, as if it was a floor plan, what they are going to shave off their faces and what patterns will be left behind. I've even seen commercials about beard comb-overs.

It seems to me that they think that they truly are creating a work of art on their face. The point I'm trying to make is corn on the cob is good, isn't it?

Yuck. I will never think that beards are okay. We don't like kissing beards, we don't like hugging beards. They hurt our skin, they look like crap, and sometimes they smell. Oh and also the worst is when the beard starts
heading south into the neck area. Listen up boys, and I do say
boys...Girls don't want boys that think its funny to see how much food can get saved for later, we for sure dont think its funny that you try to out grow each other. We want men. Not boys. Live it. Learn it. Love it.
Then
SHAVE IT OFF.
