thread to get over a breakup

rare to see such commitment to a facial hair arrangement, i commend you tbh

I once shaved off my facial hair following a breakup and stayed clean-shaven for a number of months, but that was mostly because I needed some change.

i have always said that if i hit rock bottom i am going with a mustache

that's what i normally assume about any dude i see with a moustache, tbh

hahahah

I once stopped shaving my armpits but that was not because of a breakup. In fact, it was due to the encouragement of my bf at the time! Sorry, that has nothing to do with any of this I guess.

lol no we can def. take this in the direction of "things you haven't shaved"

i'm gonna need to start a thread to get over the 'thread to get over a breakup' thread

x-post - You guys think shaving is such a pain the ass but you have no idea. The armpit thing was completely awesmoe tbh since I'm not really hairy but iirc I started shaving again in the summer just cause well sleeveless tops and all. Legs are a different story. I am sort of weirdly obsessed with shaving my legs. #529 Things you really didn't need to know about me!

awesmoe!

i approve of hairy armpits on girls if they want but yeah smooth legs for real.

You guys think shaving is such a pain the ass but you have no idea

confused, tbh

i think e is saying that girls do a lot more shaving?

Yeah sorry, that's what I meant.

Things I have done to myself after a breakup include drastic changes to my hair and getting something pierced.

ha - also tattoo

i think e is saying that girls do a lot more shaving?

what, every morning?

nothing is as unpleasant to shave as an adam's apple, in any case.

Uh maybe not every morning (every other tbh) but there are more parts of the body and a larger surface area that needs to be tended to for girls.

assuming two things:

(i) girls bother their arses
(ii) guys don't

regarding part (i)

i'm irish, btw

LOL

maybe it's just me, but if a guy has a beard, it makes certain activities itchy and uncomfortable.

Certain activities?

Stubble, yes.

A full beard? No. In fact my former bearded partner totally converted me to the joys of beardy men.

I must just have pretty sensitive skin ... my bf used to have a beard - well maintained - when we started dating, and it was itchy when kissing, etc.

Aww, I used to really like kissing his beard. I used to play with it when I was bored. And rub my fingers up it the wrong way to annoy him like a cat. It was very soft.

did he respond like a cat?

Well, he used to make sort of dog-noises.

Aww, now I'm feeling all nostalgic and I don't want to be. Boys are icky.

if we as a society return to the clean shaven is the norm mentality im just going to hang it up and go live under a bridge somewhere.

I was only questioning why guys who were clean shaven when in relationships grow beards after they break up.

they are free

do these guys feel more attractive with the beard or less, or is the common sentiment, "I don't give a shit what I look like. Fuck shaving!"

because some ~harpy~ isn't trying to CHANGE them anymore

i will ask them and get back to you xpost

"fuck shaving" ftw

ironically enough, when my bf shaved his beard, I was freaked out at first. I thought it was a sign of something bad.

if you listened closely you would have been able to hear a tiny cracking sound. that was his spirit being broken.

Uh, no.

rip dude's beard

I feel these four walls closing in
Face up against the glass
I'm looking out, hmmm
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
It's greener pastures I'm thinking about
Hmm, wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but not feel scared

Ooh, wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses, oh

Yeah, oh oh, ye-yeah

I see the dude I wanna be
Riding bare-back, care-free
Along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head-first, head-long
Without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear, but not feel scared

Oooh, wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses, oh

I wanna run too
Oooh oh oh oh
Recklessly emboundening myself before you
I wanna open up my heart
Tell him how I feel, ooh ooh

Oooh, wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses

Ooh ooooh ooh ooh ye-yeah yeah oohh
I wanna run with the wild horses, ooooh

"god i am so tired of waking up every day and remembering not to shave"

"when will this madness end?"

yeah, he had a pretty well-maintained goatee ... it was the same logic that lead balding guys to just shave it all off, rather than trying to keep up "the haircut"
