No, I don't think either of these things is "stupid." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're the first one to use that word. On the other hand, there is something artificial about shaving or keeping your hair styled. I'm not making a value judgement, just an observation. The more artificial one's appearance, the more effort required to maintain it. There's a certain amount of wear and tear involved, too. Razors are not nice to faces, blow-dryers are not nice to hair, and so on. I like the idea of accenting, rather than covering up. I also like to avoid nuisance, and wear and tear. So, I don't shave, and I keep a simple haircut. I find women who take a natural approach to their appearance more attractive, too. -- Alan S. Driscoll AT&T Bell Laboratories
