6 Signs That You Are a True Pogonophile (Beard-Lover)

pogonophile love beards Beards are awesome. In fact, for some people, they’re more than just a bit of facial hair. They’re a mindset – a religion – a way of life.

Does that sound familiar? If it does, then whether you’re a man or a woman, you might be a true blue lover of the beard. The formal word for it is a pogonophile, but that’s a bit of a mouthful. (It comes from Greek, and let’s face it, there’s a reason we say that complicated things are “Greek to us.Opens in a new tab.”)

It’s okay though – you don’t have to use that word. You can just go ahead and call yourself a beard-lover, and nobody will judge you.

Now let’s go ahead and look at the eight signs that you might be a true beard-lover.

You Don’t Mind Beard-Related Discomfort

It requires patience to grow a beard. You have to be willing to put up with some itching and discomfort – and if you’re in a relationship with a bearded guy, then you might also have to cope with a bit of beard burn.

If you’re a true beard-lover, it won’t matter – not even a little bit. You’ll put in the time it takes to get your beard looking great, and if you’re kissing someone with a beard, you’ll just invest in some soothing cream (Blistex?) to get rid of that burn between kisses.

You’ll Shell Out for Great Beard Products

A great beard is an investment. When you love your beard, you don’t mind paying out for the best beard balm or beard oil. It doesn’t matter if it’s pricey as long as it smells good and helps your beard look its best.

You Don’t Bother to Hide Your Bias for Men with Beards

Beard Admiration is Part of Your Daily Routine

This is a big one. It’s one thing to sense when a great beard is around, but are you so crazy about beards that you’ll go out of your way to see one?

For example, have you had to take a detour on your way to work, noticed a construction worker with an impressive beard, and then taken that route even after the detour ended just to see it again?

Or have you given up on watching sports with few beards like golf in favor of watching lumberjack competitions and ice hockey just because the players often have impressive facial hair?
