Bearded since: 2001. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I grew my beard because I feel most comfortable with a beard. It is my opinion that every man should attempt to grow a beard at least once in his life. A bearded man seems to demand respect simply by possessing a beard. I have always admired beards and I went to a high school that did not allow the growth of facial hair. After high school, I seized my opportunity to grow one myself.

How do I feel about my beard? I love having a beard. It keeps my face warm in the winter and it's my opinion that most men look better with a beard. We live in an age where men are becoming more like women everyday. I'm not suggesting that men go around clubbing women over the head. I am however suggesting that men not be ashamed of the gift of masculinity that God blessed them with.

I feel that the bearded version of me is closest to the real me... If that makes any sense at all.
