I don't know about some of you guys, but I've been punched in the face plenty of times and I'm still prettier than a lot of women. :p

Maybe YOUR faces are designed to be punched, but mine is designed to be kissed!!:cool:

My hypothesis is men grew beards to cushion the blows of punches to the jaw.
Women don't have beards, so this theory is obviously true.

Actually, It's more likely men grew beards because it hurts to shave with a piece of rock, don't you think?

I like this line of thinking.
