[quote="miltiades"]I have expressed on many occasions my dislike of hairy faces, more so on women than men.
It seems to me that Cypriots as well as Greeks emulate Middle Eastern men in growing beards, maybe they just think its ...fashionable !!!

It seems to me that you have not been to either Cyprus or Greece for a looooong time.

On the contrary, I visit Cyprus on a regular bases, about 8- 10 times a year. I do not go to Greece, far too many pretentious ....whiskers!!!
Mate , The Cyprus youth are behind times since they follow the Greeks.

In Cyprus one could easily be mistaken in thinking he is in a Middle Eastern country, they all look as if they changed religion and adopted this anachronistic trait.

I cant fathom why women also sport ...beards !!!

:shock: What a shocker!

And here I was thinking all these years that we were situated somewhere close to France, Austria and Germany. :?

Better consult a map:

To our east we are about 100km away from the Levant.

To our south we are about 350km away from Egypt.

To our north we are about 70km away from Turkey.

And to our west we're hundreds of kilometers away from anything…

Mmmm… :?

That’s more an example of thousands of UNHEALTHY brainwashed youth.

Maybe we should give up on finding “healthy youth” in Cyprus because the pictures speak for them selves.

If and when the Cyprus Ministry of Education is liberated from foreign sabotage we can take another look at them…

I am surprised to read that so many have treated the subject of one of 'Miltiades' pet hates with such frivolity , surely the old tradition of growing a beard as a token of respect for a death of (friend or family member) should not be subjected to ridicule on account of one person's dislike of facial hair.

As a child, (or now as a Grandparent) my guess is that 'Miltiades' felt no such aversion when old 'Santa Claus' was (or is) expected to clamber down the chimney and HE, has the finest set of snowy white hairy whiskers you will ever see anywhere.

If an answer to the question as to do WHY 'Cypriots and Greeks' wear beards is truly sought by he who has raised the question, then MY answer would be, They simply want to avoid telling 'Bare Faced Lies' and that's all. :lol:

Actually thinking about it, ALL 'Politicians' (and' Traffic Wardens') should be bearded, that way we would at least be forewarned. :wink:
