my freind and i were discusing why men wear moustaches/beards.he thinks its vanity.
it will be very interesting to seek others veiws.
indeed considering the job of clipping and snipping what is the reasons?

My man tells me he grew his full set when he first became a lorry driver. Change of image and all that. He also has a slight underbite which he was very conscious of in his youth, and the whiskers were a way of covering it up to some extent. He shaved it all off a few years ago when he kept getting a recurring skin infection underneath the beard, and has never grown it back since. He's become quite a well-known character locally in recent years and now in his early 50s, he doesn't give diddly-squat about the underbite.

Well, my Dad grew a moustaches and beard years ago after a car crash. He went through the window screen. So grew it to cover the scars. It didnt last to long though.

Mostly it is due to vanity. Margaret Thatcher would not have any politician in her cabinet who sprouted a beard. They were the most clean shaven party thereafter or unitl she resigned.

I have a goatee, well just a strip down the middle of my chin really, I dye it a different colour every day, from red to green to yellow etc sometimes stripes, I just think it the same as women or men changing hairstyles or whatever, just something a little different maybe, not really sure myself, but I like my beard ;-)

tried growing one, but could not start this until a few years ago, boyish looks, found it too itchy, but i think they look better on men than ladies........

I don't like facial hair on men at all (on ladies its ok! - joking!) It always makes me wonder what they're trying to hide. I remember years ago seeing a man with a full beard blowing his nose. He missed most of it with his hanky and left it in his beard. Yuk! Stomach turning.
Also men with a full moustache look much older.

Ratter - you sound like a very individual person with a lot of character. Are you influenced by Billy Connolly, perchance?
