Beard Time for Valentine: Cupid should have had a Goatee


Embrace you inner Man 

Step one: Grow a beard with confidence.

Gentleman, prior to contrary belief, having a beard is not just facial hair. In fact, having a beard is a lifestyle associated with undoubted leadership, true manliness, and fidelity. This along with self-confidence is key. I can't say enough about how important it is to have a bold assurance about yourself. Women are very visual beings,  "they consider such men 'macho' and can protect them in case of danger. In the natural order of things, women are known to want men who can take care of them. Since a beard is often associated with strength by such women, they are automatically attracted to them"(WiseBeards). 
Ragnar Lodbrok
However, you could have the beard of Ragnar Lothbrok (badass fictional Viking warrior) but without exuding the proper confidence you're better off naked face. Ask yourself, does your facial hair align with your charisma? Are you exuding the confidence of a noble man or a fickle boy?  Next time you introduce yourself to a woman make sure your present yourself as her bearded knight in shining armor.
Think like a King



King Hailie Selassie
You ever notice how in most fairy tale movies the king "ironically" has such a rich and flowing beard but the prince has about as much facial hair as a pealed potato. Although a naked face does add to the physical description of a young boy, it also has some psychological  attachments as well. From a young age, society allows girls to believe that they must find a worthy prince to fall in love with. But, are today's princes actually worthy and could this particular childhood teaching be the singular reason as to why more women today are single than ever before?
Statics show that even though there are significantly more women (huge number) than men in this world, women are still not settling for just any old prince charming. For some men this would mean that it's more favorable for a man to settle down but for others its actually quite the opposite. "When faced with an oversupply of women, guys are more likely to delay marriage and play the field. Or, in other words, to act like guys"(Tucker). Sorry ladies, your prince is under construction, most men don't settle down until later in life. Its no surprise as to why so many women are attracted to men with beards. It give the appearance of not only great maturity but also keen mental development and relationship readiness.

Looking through her eye's

            Step three: Vitality makes her very very...
It is instinctive not only for women but society to be drawn to men with beards. From the dawn on time, the world has glorified men with beards for their undeniable symbolism of power and wisdom. Another glorified association that might go unnoticed is that subconsciously, women  associate facial hair with fertility "Women’s preferences for masculine traits are reported to be greater among young reproductively capable women, particularly just prior to ovulation"(Dixson). Testosterone is the driving factor for this great genetic seduction. From puberty to adulthood our bodies are subjected to a series of raging hormones, for men testosterone is one of the most important hormone to our genetic existence.High testosterone levels along with a healthy diet, working out, and proper beard grooming can enhancing follicle growth.  



"While the mysteries of the beloved beard may never fully be told 
Its engraved on our hearts, as it is our souls
For those that are bearded Til we meet again 
A  beard is what separates the boys from the men."


Quicktip MR #17: It is important to keep a proper bearded decorum.  appropriate "manscaping" should be done as needed. This includes washing, conditioning, trimming and proper oiling.
