I started to grow it properly about a year ago and can't go back. My Girlfriend of 4 years loves it and is as enthusiastic about it as I am. It just sounds like an excuse to avoid a social stigma that I don't feel is really that prominent. I've had nothing but compliments since I grew mine and can't see myself going back. If only these beard wasters could experience a proper, well groomed beard, I'm sure the majority would join us! : {D> I’ve played around with my facial hair since I could start growing it, and now at the age of 21, have fully embraced it.

My girlfriend may say that she would like me to shave, but really she just wants to scratch it, and stroke its supreme power.

A lot of girls hate them, alas. Grew one afterwards though... And the incredible powers I have gained from it were well worth it. :P The girlfriend excuse isn’t a mere alibi - my ex used to hate them. A lot of girls hate them, alas.

They are somehow less than a man. I agree that to grow a beard is the duty of a man, and the beard should be revered ad respected I have seen my share of beard wasters also, and I really think that it is something within them that just doesn’t click.

And I don't mean a week or two of negligence. A beard needs 3-4 months minimum on a face to really have been a true beard and not just some circumstance of laziness. If one can grown a beard, then one ought to make a commitment and bless the beard with life. A beard is not a right, but a duty.

It’s a privilege, perhaps even a duty. And even though you may not realize it, you gain the admiration of some of those less fortunate, who are unable to grow a beard.

I have a full head of hair that I've been shaving off for years, and I know millions would pay a fortune to get what I just dump down the drain. On the other hand, I have(*) a weak beard and have that "beard waster!" reaction when I see someone who could grow a great beard. (*) I had a beard for a couple years then shaved it down to a goatee at 23 because it was pathetic. 9 years later I hadn't grown another until last week and I have to admit that my facial hair may have gone from pathetic to average! Sometimes I'm impressed and at other times I still think I'm gonna get what I got years ago. It also helps now that I'm not mangling my beard with excessive shaping. It's been about 9 days and I get more excited about seeing updates with each passing day. Agggh, it looks like it may become decent! I’m actually in both boats here.

At least you have spent some time growing your beard and have only decided to get rid of it based on your own circumstances. That's a lot better than never giving the beard a chance at all. Dave,
