Bearded since: 2004. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Well, I started growing a full goatee when I was thirteen and had a full beard by the time I was fourteen. I've gone clean a couple of times since, but it was only a matter of weeks before I started to grow it back. That's because I figure it's become a part of my image. In a society that views real masculinity as chauvinism it's no surprise metro-sexual fellows are popping up everywhere, carrying around purple hair straighteners & wearing the same types of jeans that our mothers wore back in the '70s. So, at the end of the day, why do I have a beard? Because, simply, that's what a man does, he grows his beard along with chopping wood for a fire built without matches that he's getting ready to use to roast the hand slain bear he just killed somewhere in the middle of nowhere. ;)

How do I feel about my beard? I love my beard. I would be cold and soft without her.
