Only about 1% of men who grow a beard have their appearance enhanced by a beard. The rest look like they’re hiding their face.

For some, hiding their face is an appearance enhancement.

Eh, I have a trimmed one because I’m lazy and hate shaving with a passion.

The Air Force almost uniformly frowned upon having facial hair, because of the difficulties caused when using oxygen masks. The Air force asked me to consider growing a beard....

Well like I always say about mine {had it 29 continuous years this time} it sure hides a lot of ugly LOL. I've had one most of my adult life minus about a total of 18 months of military requirement I shave for either fire fighting duties or a year of National Guards.

I don't have the daily nuisance of skin rash, it's a great protector of my face from UV rays, and heck I just like having it. :>}

Probably. A good friend of mine used to say some faces were made for beards. I never saw him shaved. At least he admitted it. LOL.

I’ll tell you this, I am wildly attracted to facial hair, but ONLY short beards, really short.

I detest dirty, nasty looking long beards. wwwwww

Years before my birth, my dad was in a car accident. He hit his face on the dash or windshield and destroyed his chin. It was only years later, when he got a wild hair and shaved off his beard, did we all notice his smashed up face.

Everyone was extremely taken aback, to put it mildly. Some ladies even gasped when they saw him beardless for the first time ever.

He responded to popular opinioon and grew it back; I consider it a medical waiver.
