Just gotta drop a couple of quick comments. I personally love wearing a beard! I've started trying to grow a goatee in highschool, wore one throughout college/university, and now have a full beard. So I've worn a "beard" of some kind for well over a decade. There have been times when I was younger that for work reasons I was forced to go beardless. Thankfully these times were very few and far between. When I was without my beard, I didn't feel like myself. I don't like the shape of my chin, so the beard helps to define it. I feel that I look better, and I feel more confident, when I wear a beard. I really couldn't care less if people dislike my beard. Not only that, but many important historical figures wore beards, which, as a historian, makes me want to wear one for scholarly purposes, as well. Some of my favourite historical figures were beard wearers. Karl Marx, for example, had one of the most epic beards of all time! And his majesty King George V had probably the most stylish beard I've ever seen. I aspire to have a beard like the one George wore. Finally, in the era in which we now live, in which men and women are equal, and the feminists have taken almost all of the things from men that only men used to be able to do, the beard is one of the few true symbols of masculinity that we have left. So, I say to all you men, wear your beard with pride. Let the world know that you're proud to be a man, and proud that you can grow a beard! Wearing a beard is one of the few things the feminists CAN'T take away from men... though I'm sure they'll try to find a way. Hey all. Just gotta drop a couple of quick comments.

Many of history's greatest people have sported a beard. Many attributes and characteristics can be associated with a beard. With that, I have grown a beard, and joined the community. Long live the beard. And Marilyn, you sound like one of these Gen Y'rs. Have to say, one of my life’s goals was the grow a beard. Many of history’s greatest people have sported a beard.

A nicely trimmed beard (not long) and one that has care taken of it requires more time than just shaving each day. A beard also seems to say something about the character of a man as cosmetics do for some women. Personally i think a beard has a reason to be there or else why would it just grow? It keeps the face warm in Winter and protects it from the ultra-violet rays (skin cancer) in Summer. I agree that we have the option to have or not to have as is our want. Women seem to agree there as some adore a beard and some hate it Long live Democracy!. I think some beards look unsightly while others look fantastic.

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.

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.
