Fear the Beard : An infograph

Fear the beard, celebrate the beard

I have a killer beard on the grow.

just shaved mine....having a greek background i came off looking a little like a terrorist. i shaved my head aswell and now they call me voldemort.

I can grow a bitchin beard. Had a full one by 16,but my job won't allow it,so I got the van Dyke.

I admit to being one of those girls that isn't into facial hair. I can't recall any of my friends ever dating a bearded or stached guy either for some reason.

Stubble is sexy though.

On verrrrry rare occasions, I think a bit of facial hair can look sexy on a guy but for the most part I like clean shaven.

I do think they're nice on older asexual-appearing men though - like university professors and santa claus.

I've had a beard since I could grow one. I've got the Van Dyke right now, trying to get my side burns a little fuller

I'd like to mention I literally look 15 years old without the beard so it's a permanent thing

I don't have the patience to grow out a beard. It'll look so dirty during the first couple weeks and the itchiness will bother me. Maybe if I tough it out it could work but I'm not patient enough. I've never gone more than 7 days without shaving, but I have mad respect for the man who sports a beard

I can't grow a full beard or even a full mustache. I have what older folks called "Dirt" on my face. The only thing I can grow is a fumanchu and that will literally take a lifetime.

I think the men you have been dating just don't know how to use their beards. When I go downtown on my wife, she likes it when I rub my facial hair against IT.

Poor DD, you have been deprived.

Proudly bearded since 2008. It is getting a tad grey though...the Mrs. still likes it.

Had to STL...but love the quote that "98% of lumberjacks, warriors, and badasses" have beards.

I've got the intentional 5 o'clock shadow. The girls like it and from what I've read, DD likes it a bit.

The real reason for it is my face breaks out when I use a razor so I just use the hair clippers and keep it short

Try a straight razor, it's a MUCH cleaner, smoother shave. This will reduce the friction on your face, and thus, less breaking out.

Was sporting the Klingon (except without those two points towards the mouth) until earlier today :(

Had to shave for a job interview with DOW Chemical

Technically I don't even like hair around the power-tool either (super short trim is ok though), so I don't think a beard is going to do much for me in that department. I think I'm just from the anti-hair generation.

I like it, whether it's intentionally styled that way or just a weekend look. I think most girls do. Plus it's kind of inevitable that your guy will be rocking some stubble at some point anyway.
