in Growing a Manly Beard on Art of Manliness

Interesting comments from all here ...

For those who say they "can't" grow a beard, this is not true in 99% of the cases I've encountered. Time and patience will get that face fur into fine shape. And maybe some Biotin for good measure ... Exceptions go to my Native American friends, as they only seem to be able to pull off the mustache, and sometimes a goatee. Even then, something is better than nothing. The mustache is not to be feared, it is, in some ways, more manly than the beard.

As for women and beards ... well, would you want to be with a woman that is so superficial a little facial hair is a no-no? Beyond that, when did you hand your scrotum over to the other side? Just curious ... But seriously, any woman that's not just into you for looks/money/pure vacuousness should be able to handle the man scruff. This is usually just an excuse from men who are scared to grow the beard for fear of rejection. Guess what ... chicks don't dig desperation to begin with.

Men with beards being pricks ... well, as another commenter noted, there are plenty o' bald faced assholes out there, too. They tend to come in all shapes and sizes.

The work thing is tough to get around, and I understand fully the desire to keep a roof over your head and food in your stomach. Pass granted, but in most work places a trim and neat beard is totally acceptable.
