OP
Mike Myers could grow a beard, but we'd still want Jamie Lee Curtis to kill him.

Which would make him a likeable, charismatic and kind hearted guy.

Same goes for Rafael Cruz.

the devil horns more distracting than the beard, to be honest.

(32,731 posts)7. "Cruz's new beard serves as a proof point
for a few aesthetic and economic theories. First: Beards are contouring for men. Men who complain that women who wear a ton of makeup or don sunglasses in their Tinder profile photos are scamming men into thinking theyre hotter than they are had better never grow facial hair, because beards are capable of facial trickery no contouring palette could hope to accomplish. (Likewise, Republicans like Sen. Lindsey Graham who mock women like Rep. Nancy Pelosi for getting plastic surgery should be just as ruthless with men who cover up weak chins with beards.) Cruzs new face also proves that the cultural mystique around beards and masculinity runs deep. He was sick of being regarded as a namby-pamby in a state with the countrys biggest hard-on for machismo, but he looked like an absolute idiot every time he tried to hold a gun. With his beard, he looks ever so slightly less like someone whose idea of athleisure is pleated khakis."
