I have a beard because shaving is a curse and my wife prefers me with one to boot. Win win.
or just maybe it could be because I am a hippie protester druggie, etc. etc. or whatever Elder Oaks said about them back in '71

I hate beards.....just not a fan.....some people look incredibly bad with them...and some can rock them...my husband is close to hairless....which I prefer..i do not like hairy men...lol....especially if they have hair on their backs...lol...i know Tmi....anyway when my husband tries to grow a beard on his baby face I freak out cuz it looks thin and raggedy...like a caterpillar is stuck to his upper lip...lol........he looks much better clean shaven...but I do have to say some five o'clock shadow on some looks OK.....just makes my hubby look like he has some dirt or insects on his face that needs brushing off....lol.....all three of my sons have varying degrees of beards which they seem to like....I dislike the way they all look from full beard with stash to small beard with no stash...and one has a goatee.....their wives must like it while I find it almost offensive...lol......for women who have facial hair maybe try electrolysis....I had a good friend who had issues with upper lip hair and continually had her face waxed which caused the hair to grow more coarse and black than originally.....waxing the face is not a good thing over time for women.....electrolysis worked very well for her after the years of waxing....not a fan of body hair on either sex....lol.....just my weird quirk....if a beard makes the man than great....I hope the fashion trend recedes into the dust bin of fads....probably no such luck...looks like most men like them...
The beards have been going on a lot longer than shaving. The fad is shaving. The reality, the origin, the God given plan was ... beards.
So maybe the shaving fad has dropped into the dust bin.

I mean the Father and Son have beards. Christ tells us to be like the father. Perfect. So a perfect man has a beard.

Oaks is just a globalist puppet.

I was born with a thick moustache and have only shaved it off a few times. Once was by accident; I should have read the directions that came with a moustache trimmer I received as a gift. My two year old daughter would not approach for a few days after this one
Another time was by curiosity and it was an experiment that will never be repeated. I tried a beard when I was in my 20s but it did not suit me.

We have beards so that we can demonstrate how much we want to overcome the natural man by shaving them.
It's actually the opposite.

So, as I sit here with a pair of tweezers, working on the full-face lady beard I've had since I was 15, I'd love an answer to the question of why some of us gals have to deal with the beard issue as well. I'm all girl, so this has been a nightmare for me my whole life. What do you men think of women with this issue?
My daughter and I had a discussion about this once. I just asked her so I'd be sure I was telling you correctly.
(Quoting)
PCOS can cause excessive male-patterned hair growth in women because their testosterone levels are too high. Treatments for it are things like spironolactone, metformin, and birth control.
Note: this is not medical advice. It was the result of research into the subject. Also, I don't know how well those treatments would work for a full-on beard, but they might be worth trying, after research into benefits vs side effects.
I knew a lady years ago with the same problem. She was part of the hippie community, probably because they were so accepting of individuals. I wish our society could be more accepting of things like this - from the not-anywhere-near-what-a-man-can-grow mustache I started to get around age 24 to full on beards. It isn't our fault we are this way.

As for the topic of the op, I think they grow them because they can, or because they believe that men should have them. Some men look better clean-shaven. Some look better in beards. Matt Walsh, on YouTube, looks incredible. I have a feeling that without one, he wouldn't look nearly as good.
There was a shift to being beardless for a while. I guess it started with WWI (?). And from the 1960s on the Church really came down on beards and on hair that hit the collar, equating it with the hippies that were everywhere. The tide started to change a decade or so ago, and I'm glad it has. I don't think any man should be shamed for growing a beard (nor do I think he should be shamed if he cannot grow one).
