The sentiment behind Movember is nice-men register on us.movember.com and proceed to grow moustaches to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. But let’s be honest, how many guys that claim they’re participating in No Shave November are doing it for this cause? Not many, at least in my experience. Most of the guys that I’ve met who do No Shave November are just trying to prove that when faced with a challenge, they can take it. But as a female, I find the whole idea somewhat repulsive.

Alright, so picture this: you’re a guy.

You’re hanging out with your girlfriend, drinking peppermint coffee and snuggling under blankets staying warm from the crisp November weather.

Your snuggle time is escalating when suddenly you realize-she didn’t shave her legs.

Well, you wanted to cuddle with your girlfriend, not the enchanted forest. So riddle me this: as a girl, why would I want to have to deal with that on your face? Now I’m not saying that all facial hair is doomed to be a major turn-off, sometimes it really fits with a guy’s overall look and personality. However, don’t participate in No Shave November just to participate. Make sure that facial hair suits you, and then, please keep it tame.

Trust me, your girlfriend (and the rest of society) will appreciate it.
