No Shave November

[iasimp1997]

I participate. It's not much of a challenge, because I don't have to shave yet.

...fail.

Yeah no I'm not participating. :3
I kind of look like a douche when I don't shave, so yeah.

 

[Lorken]

Wonder how many people are going to participate that it doesn't even apply to.

Like women and children?

No, because I'm not stupid.

Oh wait, it's because I don't have enough facial hair to shave yet. But I'm also not stupid.

How is having a beard stupid, I think you're just jealous

Here in the UK, the point of the event is to raise awareness for testicular & prostate cancer.
I am participating.

Same in NZ and we call it 'movember'

Same thing is happening here. I don't understand how growing a beard or mustache would raise awareness for cancer, though.

I said it was stupid and then said it wasn't, in such a manner that I never actually thought it was.
But I don't even want a beard.

Had you any need to say that after I already linked to the wikipedia page?

Just like any other unusual activity could be considered for fundraising? The effects last longer than somebody doing something like a sponsored silence for a day, so I think it's quite a good idea really.

Lots of my friends are doing this. They get asked "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ON YOUR FACE?!?!!" a lot, and they can say "oh, well, I'm not shaving for November to raise money for charity, would you like to sponsor me?"... works a treat.

I've wondered, if men are growing their facial hair for raising funds for prostate cancer research, should women grow their armpit hair for breast cancer research?

I'm participating myself alongside a bunch of my co-workers. Half-way in, I haven't rasied as much money as I would've liked, and I am very well aware of how ridiculous I look when I grow facial hair, but I'm doing it anyway for prostate cancer research and awareness. Sure, it smacks of slacktivism (ie: putting forth very minimal effort but believing that you're doing something beneficial), but it's probably a lot more effective than those breast cancer campaigns where you change your Facebook status to mention your bra colour or where you leave your purse.

So, feel like upping your Karma count and helping out a fellow cuber? http://ca.movember.com/mospace/119667/

The football players at my school do this, I was going to as well but my girlfriend wouldn't let me...

I guess the reason this hasn't really taken off is that nobody can see it at this time of year (and if it was the summer, you can be sure as hell that women would do anything possible to hide it) and it's also kind of a hygiene issue for a lot of people. Hey, at least having interesting facial hair can be cool, I can think of few, if any situations in which armpit hair is cool! We have a few women orientated events in the UK to raise money for cancer that I don't think happen for men, so we do some things! We just prepare to bake/run rather than grow additional body hair to raise money
