Cutting my long beard hurt things socially
I had a long beard. I made a hasty decision to cut it, thinking that it would make me look neater and better. I'm realizing too late that I think I was very wrong. I swear to God, people were treating me with more respect and taking me more seriously when I had the long beard. I notice, and a friend of mine also, notice how it's harder for me to get people's attention positively now than before, and more people are now putting up that invisible wall again that they were putting up a several months ago before growing the beard. By invisible wall, I mean like this blockage from wanting to even make the slightest small talk. This wasn't happening before I cut it. Tell me, I'm sure I'm not wrong, a man with a long beard seems to make him look a bit more mature, gets him taken more seriously, and helps him get more positive attention from people than a man with almost no beard, doesn't it?
Also, this may not be the case with everyone, it depends on their particular face structure. With some people's faces, including mine, a long beard can help hide certain things about their face structure that hurts their attractiveness. I think with me, it may be a combination of that and that a long beard makes a guy look more mature and taken more seriously.
