You find my lack of beard disturbing?

Yes I've had a beard in the past. Yes I get told I grow a nice one and it looks good on me. But I resist growing one again and here are the reasons why:
-I live where there is hot water, razors, a mirror and electricity. There is no practical excuse not to shave. I'm not camping or hiking for weeks on end.
-I am not longer a contractor overseas. The contractor beard seems to be part of the costume/uniform for that work, but I don't do that work so no need.
-A majority of the gay men I know have a beard. I am straight. I do not want to adopt a look that would be confused as gay.
-Haji-flage is a joke. None of us look like locals when we are overseas, beard or not. It doesn't even buy you two seconds extra time when you're being scrutinized.
-It's been adopted as a look. A fashion statement. Beards in my opinion are the result of a practical need. Not part of your coifure. It goes against Rowdy nature to have something like this that would require extra work and attention solely for appearance.
-I have some gray in mine, which I think makes me look older for sure. Not what I really want. My wrinkles do that well enough, thank you.

So there you go. Yeah you may see pics in the future of me with stubble or whatever. And there are definitely beard pictures of me from the past. But if you see it now it's just due to being lazy. As soon as I snap out of it, rest assured it will be gone!
