Truth Behind Beard: 5 Real Reasons Guys Grow

     Truth Behind Beard:

5 Real Reasons Guys Grow

Since the dawn of time, beards have been known to be a symbol of masculinity, tenaciousness, and resourcefulness. They purge confidence and attract women. More and more men in today’s society are embracing the hairier side of things and ditching the razor for a more natural look. You see, beards are absolutely natural. Shaving the damn thing is what’s unnatural. With the amount of beards around the world at an all time high, we wanted to know why Men are really growing one?

The reasons listed below do not necessarily apply to everyone. Every Man has his own motivation for growing his unique beard. How he styles it. How big he’ll grow it. But these are the most common. So with that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the real reasons guys grown beards.

1. BEARDS LOOK BADASS

Shocker right? Beards look cool. It’s that simple. Whether you are rocking the shorter, well groomed beard, or growing it wild and free, beards look good on most (we think all) dudes. They will undoubtably start conversations with friends as well as strangers. They will give you a presence second to none. Those traits we mentioned before..masculine, tenacious, resourceful? Ya, you’ll look like you have those even if you don’t. People will assume you can efficiently chop wood, scale everest, and wrestle a bear, all at the same time. Let them assume, it’ll make you look all the more interesting.

2.STAYING WARM

Remember the whole dawn of time mentioned above? Well back then they didn’t have the luxury of modern day heaters we benefit from today. The easiest way to combat the cold was by using what we were given naturally (hair), and letting it grow free. Sure today we have turtle necks and scarves, but let’s leave those for the women who can’t grow a beard. Some of you live in colder regions of the world and this reason may be one that influenced you to grow yours. I live in California. This is not my reason…See reason 1 and 5 for me. Busted.

3.IT WAS SUGGESTED BY SOMEONE ELSE

And more importantly…by someone you care about. Whether it was your girlfriend or wife, friend or family member, or simply that smoking hot girl you hit on who told you to grow a beard before talking to her. Some of you fall into this category. I personally think as a Man, it is imbedded in our DNA to want a beard. However, sometimes societal constraints hold some of us from doing what feels right and growing a beard. Being suggested a beard by someone you are fond of might just give you the extra boost of confidence you need to make the commitment. Your beard will begin to come in, your confidence will build, and you too will likely be encouraging others to do the same.

4.YOU’RE LAZY

This has been known to be the most common reason Men grow beards…in the PAST. Men are growing beards as they have done for centuries. Simply do not shave and let your body’s natural reaction take place. What has changed is how Men are starting to grow their beards with purpose. Don’t get me wrong, the laziness card is still very apparent. However, more Men are committed to keeping their beard groomed, clean and shaped. This is one of the main things that separates the beardsmen of today from the past.

5.COVERING UP YOUR FACE

In all seriousness, beards act as a great way to alter your facial features dramatically. We are not telling you that you’re not handsome just the way you are. That’s not the case..You’ll simply be handsome-er (my made up word) with a beard. As we’ve discussed before, there is an ideal face shape that is most pleasant to the human eye. Women’s eyes specifically. The oval face. Most of us (me included) were not blessed with an oval face. But by growing a beard, you can groom it in a way to create the oval appearance and thus making you more appealing to the human eye (chicks). For younger guys, beards offer a great solution to covering up bad skin or acne. Heavier set guys can lengthen their face with a beard to appear more balanced and thin guys can fill theirs out to look more masculine. Embrace who you are as a Man with confidence and own that shit everyday.
