I never grew anything more than a small go tee until a couple years ago. People have told me all my life that chicks don't dig beards, that I'd never get laid. Then I got to the point where I didn't give a fuck. The beard does turn off a lot of women. But what nobody told me is that it turns on the right kind of woman. It's like an automatic lame bitch detector. And it keeps my face warm. Win win
I like to be able to reach over and stroke a nice beard when I have something to contemplate. Also, during sex.
Three times since I was 19 I've shaved my beard off. Each time, the women in my life told me to grow it back. Guess my chin is substandard. I should start a new thread, "Is my chin large enough?"
My beard is now about maybe half way from where it was earlier in this thread (at the beginning of the year) to the beard posted above. I can easily tip my head down and feel it on my upper chest.
