hopefully soon we will meet face to face, i will not be going off c.s. or stop blogging just i will stop looking.
for those who will miss my tireless flirting do not fear i will still be generous with my compliments lol!
Wollte doch mehr hinterlassen
Weiß nicht wohin mit meiner Wut
Außer gegen mich gerichtet
Doch selbst dazu fehlt mir der Mut
... Dort wo der Horizont
Sich mit dem Meer verbindet
Dort wollt ich auf dich warten
Auf dass du mich dort findest...

In a 1973 issue of psychology , Robert J. Pelligrini, a psychologist from California State University published the results of an experiment on the perception as a function of different state of beardedness or beardlessness. To carry out the experiment, Pelligrini hired eight full-bearded young men from the ages of 22-25 years, who were willing to have their beards completely shaved off. All men were professionally photographed in each of the following states:
Full beard
Goateed
Mustached
Clean shaven
Upon completion of the photographic sessions, there were a total of thirty two photographs i.e. four photos of each of the eight men. In the experiment, those photos were randomly distributed to subjects who were asked to rate their first impression based on a number of personality traits. The subjects who evaluated the photos compromised 64 male and 64 female psychology students. Hence, each photo was judged by two males and two females.
The result of this study by Pelligrini indicated a generally positive correlation between the amount of hair on the person's face and his being perceived as masculine, good looking, dominant, mature, courageous, liberal, non-confirming, older healthy and attractive.
1
A beard protects the face from harmful chemicals, and pollution in the air, which will cause cell damage, and increase wrinkling and bad skin. So keeping a beard protects your skin from the elements, reduces wrinkles, ageing, and bad skin.
2
The beard covers the skin, which protects the sebaceous glands from being infected by acne vulgaris bacteria, thus preventing acne/spots/pimples!
3
Keeping your face warmer and protects your chin from dangers.
4
It prevents disease of throat and gums.
5
Most of the respiratory problems are prevented by keeping beard.
6
It is the identity for a man with respect to woman.
7
Research says the longer and thicker the beard the wiser the person is supposed to be.
8
What is the total time spent in shaving by a man in his whole lifetime? Dr. Herbert Mescon from Boston University did research to give an answer to this question. Dr. Mescon calculated that if a teenager begin shaving at the age of 15, then in his 55 or so years of shaving, he is likely to spend about 3350 hours (which are equivalent to about 139 full days) at this task in his lifetime. That is an incredible amount of time which literally goes down the drain. You can add to it thousands of dollars one spends during his lifetime on products for shaving (razors, shaving gels, after-shave lotions etc).
