Bearded since: 2008. I am a dedicated, permanent beard grower.

Comments:
I always admired beards and I initially grew mine just to see if I could. But after getting positive feedback, it became a permanent part of my appearance.

How do I feel about my beard? I love my beard. In my experience, people tend to take what you say at face value when you have a beard. You are perceived as being smarter, wiser, and more masculine than the non-bearded.

I once had a dream that someone shaved my beard while I was sleeping. Needless to say I woke up terrified.
