I am nearly 21 and cannot grow any real facial hair at all. So I decided to look into possible reasons and noticed that people my age seem to be developing in a similar way. I started looking into articles and found out that the testosterone in males as well as sperm count drops every decade. This could also be a natural thing, I remember hearing a long time ago that the Y chromosome in men is shrinking and will one day be gone (200,000 years).Zepplien wrote:I am not going to argue your ideas (They seem pretty solid) but I will ask just one little question.

I had a decent beard by ~18(although it was not all it could be), and I've known people who could grow a full beard since they were ~14. We called him the 'wolfman'.

We sit in offices and type, which really does not contribute to a manly man. of course, yes, there are a lot of feminine men going around, and oh my word I hate them. As for facial hair, I can grow a decent mustache/beard. I would grow a goatee, but all the villians in movies have goatees and I don't want to channel Count Dooku.
Just because we don't have to do it, doesn't mean we won't. I'm so manly I do those things for fun.
And yes, movie bad guys have disproportionate amounts of facial hair as compared to movie good guys.
