I grew a beard and this is what happened to me

Hi Caster!

Women like masculine men. And conversely men like feminine women. No amount of liberal social engineering or propaganda is going to change that.

I have a goatee going, what do women think of that?

OP, all historical male figures worth respecting maintained some sort of facial hair. The exception is colonial/independence times, where facial hair briefly went out of fashion (think George Washington). You're merely experiencing what's buried in most individuals' subconscious: your beard is what makes you a real man.

Dudes respect you. They'll do stuff for you because they see you as someone to look up to and gain traction with. They also notice the 'alpha'-rays that your beard emits, and those with freshly-shaven baby faces are particularly vulnerable to feeling inadequate when exposed to the radiation (or radiance) of your beard.

Women notice it too. Your full, thick beard marks you as an ideal specimen whose genes would combine nicely with hers to create robust and sturdy offspring. Further, your beard represents a warm place to snuggle her head against during cold winter nights in a cave - though she wouldn't be able to identify it as such and merely thinks, "gee, what a sexy fvcking man." It's not surprising that your wife despises the beard. She understands that it makes you attractive to other suitors, and should one come along that find more suitable for sex, she may be out of a mate. She will try at all costs to get your to shave it - via insults, force, etc. Be wary. Her friends are confused. They see your beard and are attracted to it, yet they must defend their friend and her beliefs. This is dangerous because their attraction will build until they can't resist any longer...

So, yes, you can shave it off if you like, but you can no longer rely on ignorance to get you through your journey. You know that real men have beards.

There's a reason why most religions forbid shaving for married men, and why clean shaving is pushed in modern degenerate society

I don't get the connection - why beards and married men?

Cause little boys don't have beards.

one of the most important secrets a man can know about women is they like hair. They are utterly obsessed with it! But by the same token they're also extremely picky about it. They love good hair, but bad hair is gross to them just like a turd or snot, even if it is merely unkempt, dry, or damaged. If you groom your facial hair well, they will love you instantly, but if it looks at all crappy, they will instantly think of you as low-class trash.

Shaved chins are infantalization of men

It's summer, so shave the beard off. Beards are for fall & winter unless you want to look like a dumb redneck from the backwoods.

Interestingly, no U.S. president since Taft (1909-1918) has had facial hair.

Thats because a beard makes a man's face look like a big vagina.

But why on earth would a man want his face to look like a big vagina?!?!

If they smile they might be holding back laughter.

Mustache >> beard

President only one term. 1909-1913. Only person to serve as President and Chief Justice.

And one fat man.

Turn your head sideways and part your lips and see what you look like ya big p*$$y

Yes, some women like it; like some women like a bald guy or a guy with a beer belly but almost ALL women prefer clean shaven men with minimal body hair.

If you go the bearded route you better have the lean, buff body and style to be able to carry it off.

not everybody's like you! and that's okay! you can like what you like, and other people can like what they like! and stating this does not amount to liberal social engineering or propoganda!

There is a reason the thick beard and mustache are called the MANGINA. Think about it.

Generalizations = true most of the time

Sure, some women like a man that's more mouse than a man. Most women don't.

along with fleas, ticks, lice, mites, attached food dribbles, etc. etc.
