Why aren't beards more popular?

There are a few reasons why I don't grow a beard. Sensitive skin means after about 4 days after a shave my face gets incredibles itchy. Also I have pathetic beard growth that looks awful. Sure it would be nice if I could get some nice designer stubble, but generally it just looks like a rat has crawled onto my face and died.
 
I want too, but my work is arsey about facial hair and after a couple of weeks whilst I could pull off a decent one the work hassle tends to leave me not bothering.
 
I like having a beard, unfortunately everybody who sees me with one comments on how it makes me look 10 years older and that I should remove it. I used to grow one every time I had a week or two off, however I always gave in and shaved it off.

To be fair, you've said top beard looks 'sexy as hell', but it happens to be on a handsome, buff geezer who's dressed like a gladiator, and then 'not so much' to the guy who looks like he was left behind in the town centre by the sunshine bus!!

Reckon if they swapped beards, you'd shill go for the handsome buff one....


P.S. I'm only being grouchy because despite being 31 I can't grow a beard :( Just a bit of a tash and some patches of fluff :(

Totally true - don't deny it. That's why I said,

"might be something to do with the body as well... main reason I don't whinge when the OH puts on Spartacus"

PS - hate Brad Pitt with that god awful beard!

Today I shaved off my beard for the first time since I was 16 (Now 21).

The woman in the off-license ID'd me for cigarettes, even though she has served me for the last few years.

I bought enough smokes and food to last a week and i'm not leaving this room until it's grown back.
 
My boss came into work after 2 weeks off with a huge beard (he's a big guy so that's a lot of face to beard up). It was the first time I'd ever respected him. Large men with beards will always look like lumberjacks. I, on the other hand, would look like a homeless man. I am, however, tempted to try. My gf agrees with vicisthebest though, so I'm under pressure from the boss and my (new female) manager to shave.

Frank Zane is what I would choose to look like if a Genie was granting a wish :)

I like to grow a beard when I have a couple of weeks off work, but Im not allowed beards in my job which is devastating :(

Personally I grow a beard, because I am a student and it makes me fit in better with the locals out here.

Your a student out in Saudia Arabia ? awesome stuff, hows that working out

I would definitely do the same tbh, good excuse to do the full Lawrence I reckon


Beards unless you intend storing things in there including last nights dinner are a lot more trouble then just shaving I think

Or ensure you look like someone out of Spartacus - might be a bit impractical as work attire but it appears your choices are limited here.

Genuine question - how does one 'enjoy' a beard?

I imagine it must be similar to twirling the ends of your moustache if you were a 19th Century cad, bounder and all round bad egg.
