Not long. We already get bitch, damn and ass. Still “triggers” me when I see it, considering how it was 30 years ago.

Maybe she would prefer the alternative by being someone’s beard.

She works at CNN...she probably is.

So did he grow it back and did you like his face without the hair?

I remember in high school (around 1971) one of the “semi-fast” girls was in a chair next to me in the school library and she comes across a picture of a body builder in a magazine she’s reading. She nudges the girl sitting on the other side of her and says, with digust, “Can you imagine THAT on top of you!”

So yeah, you’re right.

I tried a beard...my dad passed on, and some years after, when my mom died, I just let my beard go for a while, but boy, did I hate it.

I was scratching my face all the time, I always felt like something was stuck in it, every time I took a bite of food, I would literally wring my mustache with a napkin, but, the beard got pretty long and bushy.

When I finally shaved it, I shaved it off in pieces and took pictures. First was the Full Beard. Trimmed Beard. Lincoln Beard. Burnsides beard. Hippie Long Sideburns Beard. No Beard.

I composited the images, and it was fun, but I will never willingly grow one again!

I love the feeling of a fresh shave, and now that I shave my entire head, the process is so much easier!

Some guys can rock the beard, some can’t. It depends on the guy, and on the beard.

At the same time, it’s between him and whoever it is he’s hoping to rub cheeks with.

From a 1968 episode of the TV sitcom “That Girl”:
Q Name someone with a beard who isn’t a Communist.
A Abraham Lincoln; Ulysses S. Grant...
Q Name one who’s living.
A Santa Claus?

Now and then I see a young man who carries off that Victorian/Darwin look; but generally I like clean-shaven young men.

I’m in my 60’s and started growing a goatie a few years ago. I’m one of those guys that has a pretty sparse beard on my face except for my chin and mustache area. There are two things I like about it. First, it makes shaving a very quick exercise. Second, I’ve been mistaken for being 20 or more years younger than I really am, and since my beard is quite gray (though my hair on my head has virtually no gray in it, and it’s really full), I look more my age. And since I’m not interested in picking up chicks, and very interested in being taken seriously in meetings, that is a good thing.

My wife likes it, so no reason to get rid of it.

He grew it back. I like him either way. He has a nice cleft in his chin that I don’t get to see, but he’s the type who looks good with a beard ;-)

"...Cavemen plucked their beards with clam shells...”

Something-something about bearded clams?

But "man buns" are. Pretty silly.

Funniest description I ever heard of a "man-bun" was, "a saddle pommel for his boyfriend".

You expect us to carry a little satin insulated lunch bag yet I bet youre the first to whine when there isnt a real man around.

Why should my enjoyment of the aroma of pickled pigsfeet and sourcream herring be limited to lunch time?

Fortunately, the bearded men I’ve had the pleasure of consorting with have been fastidious.
