Just re-reading old stuff. Gentlemen, I still don't like beards nor the unshaven look. You guys sure didn't read me right: I'm as feminine as they make them, don't care for women's rights, prefer women's clothing. I love perfume, make-up, and for 86 years I have enjoyed being a girl Perhaps my dislike of beards comes from my age as when I was young only OLD, OLD men had beards. Just happy I never was the type of lady who could easily grow a beard.. Beards. Just re-reading old stuff. Gentlemen, I still don’t like beards nor the unshaven look.

Is it making a comeback? I don't know, but I plan to keep mine. I have recently grown a beard and written about why I love it in the article, My Buddy: My Beard. Is it making a comeback?

Many guys, for example have weak chins and would you rather be a chinless wonder of no? Of course it makes you look older and in our youth obsessed culture this can be a negative but in other cultures where age and wisdom are equated, of course that would be consistent with the image. Anyway, like anything else if you wear it long enough it merely becomes just another aspect of your persona and those familiar with you usually just accept it.

I think that all guys look better with a beard than without. Right now I'm trying to get my boyfriend to grow a beard. Also, Marilynn is very wrong on the part that beards make a man look like a slob, because most men who have beards take very good care of it, and most beards can have a lot of shape and style to them. They just define the face better! Hey everyone, I would just like to agree with Samantha and Michelle… beards are one of the sexiest things a guy can wear.

Who is the King of the jungle? The lion with the mane. Who is the cock of the walk? The peacock with the best feathers. Who got a lot of chicks? Jim Morrison in his late 20s. It's evolutionary religion people... sign up. Beards are Gods way of saying he chose Man to lead the human race. Who is the King of the jungle? The lion with the mane. Who is the cock of the walk?

Could we ask you and the like-minded girls and women you know to spread some good news about male beardedness to the rest of your half of the species?

Guys who have facial hair are sooooo hott! I don't care what Marilynn says, there's just something about a guy with facial hair. My boyfriend has a goatee and I love it! I hate it when he shaves it off, cause he looks so good with it. It's like Beatrice puts it in Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing," He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man." So, if you can grow it, you should. There are a lot of women who like facial hair. Trust me. I just wanted to say . . . Guys who have facial hair are sooooo hott!

I currently have a beard, and in the past have supported a goatee, and side burns. I have also been clean-shaven. I typically grow beards during the winter months, but choose to clean shave in the summer. It is very true that even the slightest amount of facial hair helps in keeping your face warm. I fully understand that a clean shave is nice from time to time, and that some women don't like the feel of a guy when he has a beard. One final note, I really do hope that the popularity of beards continues to grow, but also would like to see an increase popularity of chest hair. Not sure if there has been a scientific link to the ability to grow a beard and grow chest hair, but I would think that one is usually not without the other.
