Why aren't beards more popular?

I would love a beard, however my face refuses to grow one properly.

I want to grow a great pair of mutton chop sideburns. Alas the force is weak in the area of proper beard growing. Oh and it's light blonde anyway so doesn't really show up.

I do sport a short goatee from time to time or a 'tash. I grow the tash mostly to annoy the wife. :)

I don't trust people with beards, they are untrustworthy. Never trust a man with a beard.
 
I grew a beard once. Only took 2 months for it to get to the point where it was out of control. My mustache started to grow into my mouth. It was crazy long. I ended up trimming it... then going for a goatee.. then got bored and shaved it all off.

I think when I am reaching my 80's, I'll let it grow as much as possible.
 
Apparently beards are a sign of being left-wing, something my old politics lecturer once told me. He was a paid member of the SDP but clean shaven. Never got that one myself...

Never met a girl who didn't dislike kissing guys with beards, that's why I never leave home for more than a few days without my trusty Babyliss iStubble...

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 :(

I, myself, wouldn't be seen in public without face hair, always wanted to grow one of those Tom-Hanks-Stranded-On-An-Island type of things, but I'm already next gen improved human model, hair don't grow on cheeks, best I can do is retarded colonel Sanders type of goatee.
 
There's a definite nasty stage between newly-shaven and proto-beard where the stubble is SO harsh. Really really raspy...

I find I like my bloke's stubble to look at from day 2, and then it is much nicer to the touch from 4 days - which is just at the cusp of 'too long' for him and he shaves it off.

So I generally get the raspy stubble. Ow.
 
I stopped shaving on 23rd December and I now have an awesome beard. I was one of those people who was covered in patches after 5-6 days of non shaving. This made me doubt my beard growing ability, but I stuck it out and it eventually all came in.

My top tip - start to grow it when you've got at least a fortnight off your work. That way you'll be able to avoid the pressure from your boss to shave it off at the patchy / dirty looking stage.

I've also noticed that non bearded men feel subservient to their bearded colleagues.
