In Case You Were Wondering
Science explains why hipsters grow beards: The answer, according to The University of Western Australia researchers, is because men are feeling under pressure from other men and are attempting to look aggressive by being more flamboyant with their whiskers.

Now if only Science could explain why men who aren't bald or going bald insist on shaving perfectly good hair down to a cue ball, we'll all be happy.
I don't think there's an answer for that one.
I've always called it Mitchell Brothers Syndrome after Phil & Grant Mitchell of EASTENDERS. It's still better than bald (or balding) guys with nothing on top who grow their hair into a little greasy ponytail.

I totally understand if a guy is balding to go ahead and shave it off, but guys who have full, thick hair going "chrome dome"--that I just don't get!
The reason I grew a beard is that without it I looked like Karl Rove or Dick Cheney. My regular grocery is on Haight Street. It wasn't working out.
Well, now that I'm pretty damned sparse on top (except for a Charlie Brown tuft in front...more a widow's foothill), I no longer have to fight with my very thin-stranded/cat-like hair to be in any way styled, which would require product I've always hated (my father, similar-furred, used hairspray for decades).
Jackie Kashian counterproposes that with the trend for women to depilate their pubis entirely, the men in their lives need to introduce some friction-reducing fur into that interaction...
Which reminds me of the young male co-worker about 20 years ago who suggested rather earnestly that such behavior as Jackie refers to would lead to whiskers growing faster...perhaps ever so slightly...
