    I shave, only my face, like it clean for now but don't mind if there's a bit of a shade.
    I think if I let it grow it would mostly be a goatee and mustache as well, there's a bit on the sides but probably not enough for a full beard.

    Heard that. Also baldness supposedly affects them the same way, for the supposedly same reason. Since I'm bald already and have to fight them off with a stick, growing a beard would be pointless in my case...

    Maybe, but do you want to know what really excites women? I mean, gets them so crazy aroused that they can't control their urges?

    Beards are awesome. Until they get itchy (especially in summer), then it is shaving time.

    I tried a goatee earlier this year, but my facial hair just has an odd color, sort of a dirty blond color to it that just struck me as off. So, for now, it stays shaved.

    I've always shaved before I got any real growth. I could never do the dodgy mustache thing some teenagers do because for some reason my facial hair started at my chin and then down the sides.

    One day I may grow a big ginger(ish) beard though...

    I can grow a full beard. I do occasionally around this time a year if I'm not working nor have to look professional. I usually shave every couple days though.

    Indeed. And a real man doesn't just shave his beard I might add.

    I would if I could. I can only grow a weak moustache, scraggly sideburns and two very strange clumps at the side and bottom of my chin.

    As well a list of greats with no facial hair.

    Julius caesar

    And of course........ ronald reagan

    People who did have facial hair
    Hitler
    Stalin
    Fidel castro
    Lenin
    Rasputin
    Not john wayne

    I rest my case
    Bah, women just dislike men who have messy/dirty beards. That's why the Hollywood stubble look never works outside of Hollywood.

    I do like the list though.

    I've had the same beard since I turned 19. It has served me well, it's a little messy right now though. Probably should clean it up.

    My beard is thin and patchy right now. My brother who is two years older then me however, is about 75-80% of the way to a full Billy Mays beard. Hopefully, I will be at that stage in two years.

    Sometimes I'll grow a goatee and mustache for a while. I don't get too much density, so I keep 'em trimmed short to avoid looking terrible. My facial hair's too patchy elsewhere to get anything to work. And on top of all that, the wife prefer's kissing me when I'm cleanshaven, so that's some good motivation to not grow it out too often. So does that put me at 'semi-man,' or just 'androgynous'?

    lol, I will give you the 'man' rating. Just so you all know, you don't HAVE to have a beard to be a real man. You just need to want one and be able to grow it. Some people (me for instance) are not allowed beards in their line of work, so we are forced to shave them off.
