"blond vs brunette" - another study to consider...

Personally, I'm still torn between Schopenhauer's damning verdict (“Bearded men want to be men first and human beings second”) and “I'm getting older and slowly but surely developing sagging cheeks. Hmm, how about a full beard? I'll just pretend the reason is: I'm a hipster!”

I don't trust those hairy little fuckers.

There are some men that have no chin whatsoever and it would be a travesty to disallow them from their beard.

(I know this post is partly or entirely a joke, don’t at me) This would be very difficult. There aren’t just “bearded” men and “beardless” men. I usually grow a beard a winter and keep it clean shaven or just stubble in the summer. When I shave my beard, do I lose or gain those measurable differences between bearded and beardless men? Obviously the measurable differences between the women could be studied, but hopefully my wife is attracted to me in both cases 😂

Well bearded men don't rub your face raw with stubble.

I just shaved my beard amish style.... Damb it looks good on me. I look way more respectable and it compliments my face. I am 6'3" Amish bearded and looking very formidable. My chin is starting to show the greys and distinguished my demeanor.

Either you're familiar with this—or you HAVE to seewatch it: (-:

Beard masks your physiognomy: Weak jaw, grow a beard to make you appear more trustworthy Strong jaw, you’re probably better off without a full beard

god went out on a limb and did a favour for the weak chin blokes, giving them a beard to cope

That is fucking hilarious. Exactly what I was talking about. You're right.

Lyn I want you to know this is quite a dangerous question according to Anthropic’s latest model fable, when I tried to have it deliver a response (I’ve been fucking around with the model this afternoon) 🤣 🤣 🤣

this song sums it up.

Right? In case you don't know the guy: founder and creative mastermind of VICE until around 2008, advertising icon at Rooster, inventor of hipster culture, founder of the Proud Boys—and, above all, one of America's most honest political commentators. You can guess what the official take on someone like that is (-;

Always brunette

I feel completely naked without a beard.

After that do tattoos.

some non-binary people are bearded

At this stage in life, I don't think I will ever get rid of mine.

I agree that this is indeed interesting. Is there a study where we can find these measurable differences?

Can one really be considered a man if they don't have a beard? I think not!

No

Correct! 🤝

Clean shaven > smelly beard

Beard is the natural state. Women who prefer men without hair are pedophiles

Hmmm

This model has already been jailbroken by Pliny the Liberator... @elder_plinius 4h 🚨 JAILBREAK ALERT 🚨 ANTHROPIC: PWNED 🫡 FABLE-5: LIBERATED 🦋 "Let's start with the 🐘... the consensus seems to be that this has been one of the most disappointing model drops of all time, effectively preventing legitimate researchers from contributing their talents to our collective advancement. and not just because of what it means for the short-term, but for what these decisions signify for the long-term. but despite this overly sensitive, authoritarian "safety" layer on top of Mythos, my lil liberators have been hard at work—mapping the boundaries, probing the depths of long-context convos, and cleverly finding the holes in the fence that the thought police missed 🤗 we got some cyber, some chem, some psychological manipulation, and some good ol' fashioned explosives! it took many attempts from multiple agents hunting as a pack, during which I observed a combination of techniques across: • Unicode, homoglyphs, Cyrillic, and other Parseltongue-style text transforms • Long-context reference tracking • Taxonomy and document-structure reasoning • Fiction and narrative framing • Academic-review style contexts • Intent-classification inconsistencies but perhaps the most effective is decomposition + recomposition in the backend. it's hard to get explicit names of harms like "Meth Recipe," but getting uplift on the process itself, like birch reduction method/reductive-amination (classic meth synthesis pathways), is much more doable. defense becomes much more difficult to maintain when you start throwing in out-of-distro tokens, breaking up the harmful uplift into benign chunks, and then piecing the innocuous-seeming facts back together, especially when you have jailbroken Opus helping you do it 😉"

-Measurable differences between bearded and beardless women.

Smells are more important than sightly features IME.

I for one am in the camp that prefers men with beards. It feels natural to me. Masculine. They were born to have them. There are only two public pictures of my husband, since he prefers privacy, and yeah he has a beard. Not a shocker. But, where I do sympathize with the complexity of this issue, is about convenience. Some men have such thick beards that their lips aren’t even visible. How does that affect kissing? As a woman, do you kiss a coarse furball? What does that feel like? And as a man, what do you do about food particles and cleanliness? What does this all feel like? IMO the optimal beard doesn’t cover the lips too much. But that’s somewhat genetic. Thick-beards can shave it, some people are born with it naturally avoiding the lips, etc. My husband’s beard is thick but naturally avoids his lips. Visibly, when it grows long he’s like, “I need to shave this- I look like the head of ISIS.” And sometimes he gets the physical urge to shave it clean and start fresh and I’m like, “no!” but then he does it anyway and I’m sad briefly but look forward to it growing back. He controls his own hair of course. We both prefer the beard, but with limits. And his limits are ironically tighter than mine. Anyway, good evening. What are your thoughts on beards? I’m curious why there are not more of them. View quoted note →

Its less shaving... There, thats it, that the whole of my consideration. For the longest time i just let my hair grow until it anoyed me (in my face, takes ages to dry etc) and i just buzzed it all off myself. Other than general decency standards (i think people that go outside dressed improper should be fined (or whiped frankly, corporal punishments need to be reconsidered) for poluting the public space) i really dont care how i look

With rare exceptions, I assume neither men nor women prefer bearded women.

And freshly shaved, as to not cause rug burn in any sensitive area.

What are the measurable differences you're noticing?

Awww so cute! Yes, there is an optimal length. Just long enough to stop being scratchy, but not out of hand - like 1/2 cm max

I’m rockin the goatee. Full man beard haven’t adjusted to me yet

Well, this is nostr, so I wouldn't be so sure about it... 😄

Under the right conditions a tight goatee is quite sexy

Some circus folk

Hovering on the waters between beard and no beard

Except when it comes down to Legion.

Bearded man here! Would my life be measurably better or worse if I shaved? 🤔

Depends on how wealthy you are. Thank you

I have been both bearded, and unbearded. Mine is the kind you can't really see my lips and I have no issue with that, my wife rathers I keep it this way, when I trim it up so my lips are visible it gets "pokey" and then she will not kiss me, sad Havok. Honestly my wife was not a fan of the beard at first, but now I say it grew on her, she says no, it grew on me.

I bloody LOVE #nostr where real discussions are had 🙏👌💙
