A fraternity brother in college had the thickest, most wide-ranging, densest beard I've ever seen. It covered every square inch around his mouth. It came up almost to his lower eyelids and out to his ears. It was the manliest beard I've ever seen.
Then, as you say, there's today's beard. Lots of guys need to be clued in "that looks AWFUL. You simply can't grow a beard."

Not quite on topic, but it seems the veterans of today (late 20s-early 30s) have traded one uniform for another. The new uniform is:
Shaved head
GIGANTIC beard
Arms covered in tattoos
Grunt Style T-shirt 2 sizes too small
As I type this, I'm wearing a Grunt Style hoodie that fits comfortably. my hair's pretty short, I haven't shaved for a couple of days but I will before I go to work tonight. NO tattoos.

Personally I think close cropped beards look good on the younger men. Older guys with grey maybe not so much. I grow weekend or a few days scruff in winter then shave it off. Beards in hot weather nope. Seems some women like beards and others do not. Personal preferences.

Ha, I “tried” growing a beard twice, years apart while injured and unable to easily shave, and long enough for it to grow out a few inches.
It was thin, curly hair, that seemed to need to be combed all the time and looked silly, especially with the two bald patches where dimples would be if I had them.
Most of the male Hallmark main characters seem to have the 7 pm shadow thing going, mostly with makeup.

Depends on the man, depends on the beard. A short, neatly-trimmed beard can be very attractive. A Duck Dynasty type beard, not so much.
Having said that, my beloved Mr. Inspectorette never grew a beard, but he did have a very dashing 'stache.

In a 1967 episode of the TV sow "That Girl," Lew asserts that only Communists wear beards, which Ann and Donald dispute:
Ann: Everybody who wears a beard is not a Communist Lew: Name one that isnt
Ann: Abraham Lincoln
Donald: Moses
Ann: Socrates
Donald: General Grant
Lew: Name one thats living.
Ann: Santa Claus

So I guess he's getting a lot of swipes to the right these days.

That’s a beard that a man wears. The homos thin theirs and keep it perfectly trimmed and manicured.

My husband was clean shaven when I met him. He’s tried it all. Clean shaven, full beard, mustache with goatee; did not matter. He still looks wonderful to me.
But if asked for my preferred look, clean shaven is the best. Why hide such a handsome face behind a mop of hair?
Your wife is probably like me. She loves your face and wants to see all of it.
Some men look better with beards. It gives their face definition, fills it out, squares it off, etc. Some look odd.
As long as it is neat and clean, beards are cool. I hate the rangy looking bushes or the stringy little chin pubes. Tidy it up or shave it off.

I know this is the popular current style for men. A full beard and cheap plastic glasses.
I cannot understand it. This is UGLY. How can women go for THIS?

Uhm, Sandee, how are we supposed to take you seriously when you don’t know the difference between SUBconcious and UNconscious.
Then there’s the 2nd grade spelling of your name, but that’s likely not your fault.
Oh, right, This is CNN!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha serious news hahahahahahahaha

I don’t think they’d succumb that easily. Burning gasoline might do the trick, at least temporarily. (Don’t actually try that, please.)

i like facial hair on a man, as long as it’s maintained.
