Maybe because women mainly stayed at camp and didnt go out hunting in the cold?? Guessing:)

There's an obscure theory I heard that the women, esp with infants , might live in the water for safety against animals when the men were away. Fish don't have hair....
I have heard this theory in connection with why we came up from all-fours too --- women did it first, could breast feed easier in water in two legs....and the men caught on from the women..or so the theory goes.

That's a good one, something for me to research!
It probably has something to do with hormones, many old ladies tend to start growing beards as they get older, I knew one who had quite an impressive growth on her chin which she would defend quite vigorously, and as I understand it a womans Oestrogen levels drop once she goes throught the menopause, but levels of testosterone rise.
Quite why these traits have become a dominant feature is not clear to me, although it could be down to men preferring less hairy women, so the less hirsute ladies had more children.
What physical characteristics make a man attractive to gay men.

What are some facial characteristics of Lithuanian women? I'm German-Lithuanian and I was wondering if some characteristics carried over.

Are physical properties the only way humans name and identify those things they are most attracted to/by? Or is there more to human desire?

I had that same thought, so it may be right.

I wish it was the other way around, I hate shaving:)
by Sir Mikey phyliss 3rd cousin on November 6th, 2009
Sure you do. I'm a gal and I don't even like it when my husbands growth comes in. Ouch! I say its unnecessary for any of us to have facial hair any more.

I know, all it does is make me look like a hobo or something:)

wow, I gland to see you notice that. Few guys ever do. However my son once grew his out for a little while, while on vacation. For the first week, he looked scruffy. By the second week he still looked scruffy but I convinced him to trim it off the neck just under the chin. Suddenly it looked a lot cleaner and it looked good on him. By the second week, just use a trimmer to keep the growth down. If its too short its messy and scratchy, if its too long, then you look like rip van winkle.

You have to keep on top of it, I grew mine out for 3 months one time in the winter, and there were some times where I looked terrible. I would walk into a store and I swear mothers were pulling their children closer to them when I walked by :)
by Sir Mikey phyliss 3rd cousin on November 6th, 2009
LMAO, because I know what your talking about. I've seen women do that. ROFLMAO. Yeah, so you have the unibomber look. LOL or what I also call the crazed vet look. Whatever you do, don't throw on a camoflage jacket.
Wait till one day you go talk to a little kid and he screams and points at you "Stranger danger, Stanger Danger"
by pandora on November 6th, 2009
ya I should have crossed my eyes and muttered things to myself, I think that would do it:)
by Sir Mikey phyliss 3rd cousin on November 6th, 2009
don't forget to follow that up with a few ticks and then a crazy stare. That will send moms running with their kids. Of course you may be asked to leave because all the kids are crying. LOL
by pandora on November 6th, 2009
Hahahaha, I missed a genuine opportunity, that crazy stare is funnier than shit!!
by Sir Mikey phyliss 3rd cousin on November 6th, 2009
Yep. Beards are fun in that they hide facial expressions and enhance your eyes, which can make them look really angry or crazy, add a big grin and the creepy factor is enhanced.
My son grinned at a few kids staring and he laughed when they cried.
Oh, a chip off the old block. I'm so proud. LOL
by pandora on November 6th, 2009
lol! I still keep a beard, but it is just jawline and moustache. No shellshocked crazy war vet look for me anymore:) And I keep it short and have light hair so you can barely see it:) You are a funny lady pandora! Have a great weekend!!!!
by Sir Mikey phyliss 3rd cousin on November 6th, 2009
You too. Try the look next halloween when you open the door.
