Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

The question is: why are you shaving? Why are you so afraid of looking like yourself?
When you have a beard, people respect you. They listen when you talk and hold doors open for you. I have a hard time trusting a man with a clean shaved face, because our interaction is starting off with a lie. I feel the same way about makeup and fake eyebrows and plastic surgery.
As a clean shaved man who doesn't shave because he can't grow any sort of facial hair I feel personally attacked.
I actually dig the Native American, Mongolian, Japanese style. Like a few dark hairs, but mostly smooth. Sometimes it’s just like the mustache tips that get dark. Let it grow.
copypasta?
An OC Rant with some light trolling in the form of toxic masculinity. Sarcastic but with elements of truth.
A fine cuisine. Pairs well with a nice Riesling.
How far does this go? Are haircuts lies? What about clothing?
I'm a big believer that we should embrace our natural features, but nobody is trying to mislead you into believing they don't grow facial hair.
Yeah and those who cake on makeup aren’t trying to mislead me into thinking they’re pretty either. It does also apply to some clothes. Not regular haircuts but certainly hair dying, straightening, and curling. I would apply it to nail extensions and high heels as well. I think it’s pretty fair to put daily full facial shaving into that same category. It’s all clown shoes to me.
