Bearded Men

[Radoh]

So while at work today I had a discussion with some of the other employees about men and facial hair. Many of them seemed to prefer the clean shaven look while I prescribed to the opposite idea, and told them that I believed that a man is not fully dressed until he is wearing a beard.
So Escapists I ask you now, how do you feel about the beard? For added fun, what of the mustache, the sideburns, and the soul patch?

Well, I can grow a beard but I rarely ever prefer it. I like the 5 day stubble look myself.

I've contemplated growing out a full beard, but I like the all-around stubble look I've got right now.

 

[Radoh]

Why just the stubble though? I'm aware that it gets itchy for a while and such but the added sexiness seems to be worth it.

I look better with a well-trimmed beard.

I tried but I became sad when I knew I could never be as awesome as this guy.

windmill beard trumps all

I keep the clean shaven look... just because stubble looks really bad on me...

REALLY bad...

I don't really like my beard, but basically because it is incomplete.
It's kind of bizarre, I had sideburns when I was 12 (when I was first compared to Elvis). I'm 19 now and I still haven't grown a real mustache, my facial hair aparently refuses to grow in the front of my face, so if I let it grow too much I look like some british industry owner from the sixteenth century.

...So muttonchops then? That's actually pretty awesome.

Just a matter a preference and what I think looks best on my face.

My fiance's beard is sexy.

Seriously, he shaved it off once, and I would wake up in the morning, catch sight of him, and freak, because he looked so different.

I like facial hair in moderation on a man. Though stubble is a bit weird. I mean, you either want a beard or not. Make a decision already!

My family has a nack for growing patchy beards so I keep my face well shaved, and all the girls in my school don't really like beards

 

[TeeBs]

This is how I want my facial hair to be all the time /swoon.

 

[Imre Csete]

Ever since I've played Jedi Outcast as a kid I wanted a beard.

I'm almost there now, can't grow a full yet, only a pimpin' Abe Lincoln one.

 

[Giest4life]

I got compliments at work today for looking "fuzzy." I was too ashamed to admit that it was my laziness rather than my rugged sense of fashion that led to my beard. On that note, I'm not even sure if "fuzzy" constitutes as a compliment.

 

[Spade Lead]

My mustache is growing into mutton chops, which compliment my goatee quite well.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

I always have facial hair (beard, mustache, and burns). I just can't stand a clean shaven face anymore. My girlfriend likes lots of facial hair, so this works out

My girlfriend calls me a "tushy face" and says I look like a baby when I shave. She much prefers facial hair.

Men with beards are just more masculine. They're just more towards bring real men.

Beards are sexy.

Spoiler: Full Disclosure

I may- or may not- have a beard...

I prefer to have my bread on at all times. But my girlfriend likes it better when I have a goatee.

Though in warmer climates I will go for the goatee. But living in Wisconsin leaves me with a bread most of the year.
