My company made me shave mine off. Said beards presented an unprofessional appearance in a military environment.
I was proud of my beard.

Blame religious people in the 19teens.
The ones who say things like wearing beards, drinking, and associating with sinners are all evil... despite the fact that Jesus did all those things. |

My workplace does not allow beards, but they do allow mustaches. So of course I have one. Because men have mustaches.
I cite Magnum P.I. As evidence ETA: it's funnier because I'm 25 and my mustache and sideburns are far less professional than a beard. |

I think it's because of the Roman tradition, then WWI, then inertia and the shaving-company conglomerates took it from there.
Or penis envy, it makes as much sense. |

I think it stems partly from the military. And partly from the dirty hippies of the 70s giving beards a bad name. And lastly, because many of the people that wear beards don't bother keeping them neat. A well groomed beard is nothing bad, IMO. Grizzly Adams is something else altogether.

As for the military I believe it originated with Alexander the Great. He observed men getting their heads lopped off by the enemy grabbing the beard, pulling the head down and WACKOOO... no head. Also of OLDEN days their were no Gellette double edged blades available. Scrape your face with a simi-sharp knife? No thanks. Also keeps the lice off. Some wemonz like that slick skin feeling

Because of his beard, that man is clearly alpha. He knows it, and haj knows it. Shits more professional than 99.9% of the rest of the world, or he wouldn't be where he is. Fuck the non-beard having work force. Shits for the birds.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but beards among "straight people" were even rarer before the hippies. Likewise with any haircut longer than a crewcut. The hippies actually made those things more popular among the non-hippy crowd. |
