Finally somebody picked up on the silliness of that, especially since you kind of* have to choose one or the other. In western culture, I’d consider the beard thing mostly to be a fad or style but for some ethnicities/religions it is a tradition. Traditions do people good, even if they might seem unnecessary.

*Some people might only be able to get a little scruffy.

Any person you decide to marry will help solve the riddle.

Wait, you were the one calling growing a beard a tradition, and now you say it’s silly to call growing a beard a tradition?

I’m admitting I was being silly.

It’s hard to tell with you.

This can be true in person when I’m joking, which brings me great amusement.

I think good humor (if not good jokes) should be the rule, even when discussing serious topics. When people are quickly defensive or critical that gets in the way of understanding.
