Why don’t men shave any more?

Off. Rather a "look at me" show off? Subtle is better?

Mr. Beckham.

Those tattoos are a turn off?

To you maybe😉

That made me laugh, Butterand jam.

My boss at volunteer job is a devastatingly tall dark handsome and charming Highlander of the black hair and heavy stubble kind. At nearly 80 I treasure the fact my knees can still go weak every time he gives me that delicious grin.

I like to think that he sees right through my present disguise as a fat 80 yr old with white hair and as our eyes meet we're both thinking the same thing. " Phwoar, hellO".

Of course we'll never do anything about it because we're both happily married and there's that 40 yr age gap.

I am rather partial to designer stubble 👍

As am I, GG
I also like full beards , but they must be well maintained, not those unkempt beards, with bits of food stuck to them. YUKK !!!

It occurs me, that the title of this thread is 'Why don't men shave anymore?' must surely bring the counter uestion, why do men shave anyway? Surely that is far more unnatural than letting their facial hair just grow, which is a normal and natural attribute of men and a sign that they are out of childhood and into maturity.

People get all worked up about women removing normal bodily hair. Why should it be different for men?

Never likedbeards or anything. Always think it looks like things could be growing and living in them! 🤣. Each to their own....

It must be the hot weather, combined with beard talk.
I shall have to go and lie on me couch with a flannel on me head soon!

They’re just about to drink cans of Coke, I may stick around to watch.

Still, by way of apology... tada!!!

Oh bum!
Caught out in a fib.

Did you take that pic while he was round your place tonight?

He insisted.
It seemed churlish not to.
He's rather photogenic, isn't he?

He sure is🤭 ……now do a selfie sitting beside him?

Apparently Roman soldiers were clean shaven with short haircuts, I love a man in uniform.

There is designer stubble, which is carefully tended to, shape wise (unless the bloke is really lucky) and just not bothering at all, which can look grotty.

When I come to think of it, why should men "have" to be clean shaven to the last degree? whether they are clean shaven, partly shaven, beards, whatever, isn't it all a cultural "of its time" thingy?

Like in the 80's, many women had curled and blown up perms gigantic styles to be "in", and now they all use straighteners to be "in".

Mr. Beckham.

Funnily enough I rarely seem to bump into David Beckham😄
But the men I do see look more like Jeremy Corbyn than Uncle Albert. Indistinguishable unless up really close, even then I have to go more on teeth and eye colour to get it right.

Surely not, I don’t envisage David Beckham ever looking like Uncle Albert Oreo, and my neighbours sadly don’t sport a beard as well as George Clooney does.

Once men are older and grey, with beards, they all look alike.
I have three neighbours that fit this bill, I never know which one I’m waving at.DP calls it the Corbyn Effect.

Welcome to my world, where most people look the same whether they have beards or not.
In fact, I seem to be better at recognising people - both men and women - who have a 'natural' look, rather than being trimmed/ coloured/ straightened/ shaved according to the latest 'trend' in a way that to me makes them indistinguishable from one another.

I like a well kept moustache and beard ,but I dislike designer stubble.

i like clean shaven although i understand why men don't want the hassle of doing it everyday.
