Can you grow a legit beard?

[Alias Detective 1,179]

I was late to the puberty game.  Couldn’t grow facial hair until I was in my late teens.  Coincidentally, I have not been without a full beard  in close to 17 years.

Can you grow a real beard?

[bostonlager 2,463]

I could grow one, but find facial hair to be itchy so do not sport one. 

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

I can, but two problems.

One, my sideburns and beard has a sh!tload of white hairs in it and makes me look ancient.

For another I break out like crazy underneath. 

[HTH 67]

Yes! And I've got a full Covid beard going now!

[BeenHereBefore 1,332]

I had a booming arse one when I went to the Marlboro ranch 8 years ago. Just goatee now though,

[5-Points 2,729]

Yes. I let it grow for an entire year without trimming it a few years back. I'd like to find out what my terminal length is one of these days.

I grew a beard out for this year's winter hiking trip. I have dark brown hair but my beard was red. I didn't mind because I'm working from home and haven't been seeing lots of friends during covid. 

After the trip, I shaved it off. I do feel like it helped keep my face warm during the trip. Wife And kids say they liked it but I don't like red hair.

 

[Mike Honcho 4,033]

Had the Grizzly Adams thing going early into Covid, but lately I've been trimming it back to about .6mm.  

[edjr 5,564]

Nope. if I let it grow too long, it looks like a picked up pubes off the floor and glued em to my face. 

[NorthernVike 2,080]

Yes.  Every fall I grow one and every spring I shave it off.  I keep it trimmed, no Duck Dynasty for me.  

[MTSkiBum 1,594]

I could, but my wife hates it.

Me too. And it's a glorious white, like Santa! Just not as long.

Figured as much. It's good to be out of prison, though. I will probably be sent back due to parole violation(s) before lunch.

I was not in real prison. I was suspended from posting for 1 year.

I'm an idiot.  I got it after the fact. 

For real?!?  Did they have the anal sex with you??

[Rusty Syringes 478]

I never made it past three or four weeks. Drove me nuts.

[porkbutt 861]

Just for Men.  Show up at work the next day with a dark brown beard.  According to the commercials, nobody will notice.  

[GobbleDog 816]

Never gone more than a week without shaving.  I'm a clean cut guy - not a hockey player, lumberjack or scumbag.  

[Djgb13 2,338]

Yes but I don’t like it too long 

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Never have gone full beard.  Had a Van Dyke for a few years.  

[Big Guy 1,400]

yes

[Hawkeye21 1,853]

I've had a full beard for around 5 years or so.

[GobbleDog 816]

So to the Geeks sporting beards... what's the reasoning?

1. Too lazy to shave

2. Covering up former acne craters

3. Insecure in manhood and over-compensating

4. You actually believe you look better

[Kopy 491]

I always sport the goatee. But when I get a little lazy, I'll sport the face beard. 

I'll always shave the neck. As after a couple of days, I'm neck itchy as as hell.

I like the way it looks.  I'm a low maintenance guy.  I think shaving sucks.  Not insecure at all.

I have a trimmed beard.  It's not like a full, messy beard that covers my neck.

1.  Easier to shave than maintain a beard. Idiot.

2.  Fortunately, no craters

3.  No, beard does not equate manhood.

4.  Yes and wife agrees

 

[DonS 3,067]

I've had goatee (or van dyke whatever) for several years.  I decided to grow it out for sh1ts and grins for several months just to see how long I could get it.  Ended up going back to trimmed, though, as I started to look like a homeless dude.

I don't bother with a full beard as it doesn't fill in all the way on my cheeks.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Nope. Actually can't grow any facial hair really. I'm assuming it's the Indian heritage in my blood, idk. 

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584]

I have a full one right now and it’s growing nicely. I’ve never had one longer that a 3 clip but chicks are digging it longer right now

[nzoner 936]

Yes,in fact I just shaved for the first time since October 1st this week.

Why we gotta bring lesbians into this? 

[Mike Honcho 4,033]

Tom Cruise calls them wives.  

[supermike80 1,285]

I can.  But I keep it trimmed.  Started it during the stay at home time over last year.   Now I decided to goatee it.  I have never tried to grow one like on the Boston Red Sox

[KSB2424 3,083]

A full, thick beard?  No.

I can grow one, but it's just not full enough to look decent so I don't.  I have a couple times and just shaved it off eventually, the wife doesn't care for it either.
