Is this why a lot of bald men rock big testosterone packed beards?
Bald and no beard. Thanks, Life.
I can’t grow a beard so does mean I can’t go bald?
Goddamn hipsters….
What absolute bunk. Evolution is far from perfect and sometimes nature just hands you a gawdoffal shit-sandwich for no reason at all.
I knew I was just built different.
So, in short, Bald men are hot
Ok then explain the hats bearded men love to wear…
*Evolved*
ICE PACKS DONT WORK
I like it. From all by baldness
Well i did grow a beard while going bald, so this checks out.
So wait, if I keep shaving my beard for the rest of my life, would my hair stick around longer?
I’m not bald and have a beard. Am I a mutant? Weapon X?
Makes sense native Americans usually don’t have facial hair but don’t go bald either
Makes sense because testosterone has that effect on both.
