Men Shaving... I'll never understand

Ill never understand this concept of men shaving. I currently have to for work (not for long) and never understood people who purposely do this for their own appearance. I think it's stupid to make a man look more feminine. Why wasn't this viewed as some sort of cross dressing 200 years ago and shunned?i might as well wear a shirt and paint my toes.

You don't even wear a shirt??? What do you do? Go around bare-chested all day? Now that's manly! :smug:

After being the bald, goateed guy for 15 years, I've recently given up shaving. I'm sick of trying to make myself look good. My son claims it makes me look more approachable. Go figure.

I look like I live on the streets, no knock against street dwellers intended. My head looks as though I installed a heat lamp in my bathroom ceiling and stood on a stool to dry my head. I can count the weak-looking hairs attempting to grow up there, because there ain't many.

When it moves due to a breeze, I literally jump out of my skin. It's like a life form growing on my head and it's scares me to feel anything move up there after years of chromeness.
 
I'm Canadian.

I wear red plaid coats 10 months out of the year, the trunk of my car always has a hockey stick in it, I drink beer, I hunt for some of my food and a razor has not touched my face in 10 years.

For work reasons, I at least keep it uniform but no way in hell will the cold January wind touch the skin on my chin!
 
When you have a super hot wife who prefers your facial hair a certain way and it's a matter of getting laid or not....you shave or trim to find a common ground.

I've had a beard at different times over the years, but most of my life I've been clean shaven. Just grew a beard at the beginning of this year and currently still have it. I'm still diggin' it, I'm gonna keep it around for awhile. Don't have any pics of it, so I'll attach this vid instead. :D
