A beard can make a baby-faced guy look more respectable, but it can also cause a lot of trouble. You should know about the dark side of facial hair on men.
It’s a breeding ground for bacteria.
Sweat, saliva and even bits of food are retained in the vegetation, creating a breeding ground for microbes that can “move” to the skin of the face. The threat sometimes lies not even in the stubble, but under it. For example, its owner himself may not notice the development of herpes. Although the likelihood of such a development of events is small, you can easily become infected not only with herpes, but also with fungal and staph infections. If your regular partner wears a beard, make sure that he regularly washes.
A beard makes you look older
It is no secret that a beard visually adds age to its owner. If you and your chosen one are the same age, perhaps this will not be a problem. But if he is significantly older, it will emphasize that you are from different generations. However, what difference does it make what strangers think about your couple?.
A beard requires funds
A beard requires financial investment and attention. Even a cursory glance at the prices of decent barbershops will make it clear: a perfect beard is an expensive pleasure. Unlike the hair on your head, it needs to be trimmed regularly – up to once a week. Add care and styling products to this, and the sum will be significant. So, if you are irritated when a man constantly primps himself, perhaps you are not on the same path with a bearded suitor.
Causes irritation
A romantic evening with a bearded man can result in irritation and rashes. Don’t be shy about letting your guy know what length of beard is least traumatic for you. And yes, hygiene matters: it’s important for your partner to wash his facial hair thoroughly if you plan on having close contact.
Your boyfriend may be going bald.
Having a thick beard in itself does not guarantee a guy will encounter alopecia; after all, 50% of men by the age of 50 have clear signs of male-pattern baldness. And yet, the vast majority of balding men have beards that begin to grow faster. Scientists have come to the conclusion that this is not an accident, but a result of evolution. Facial hair supposedly helps maintain temperature balance. Be that as it may, many, having lost the hair on the top of their heads, grow “moral compensation” where possible. If men with thinning hair are not your type, you should probably think about whether to continue the relationship. The main thing is not to miss out on a treasure with a stunning inner world in the pursuit of a potential partner with a perfect hairstyle.
