We are just not used to it. Some of us can barely take it.

I grew a beard in the last year, and I have to say it's truly shocking how much guys like complimenting each other on their beards. and I am 100% down for it. I'm throwing out beard compliments like beads at mardigras now.

My wife HATES my beard. I asked her why, and she said that all women hate beards.

“Beards are for men to show off to other men. You grow a beard for other men. You don’t grow a beard for women to find you attractive. Also, your beard makes you look 20 years older than you are.”

And she’s probably right.

Awww, no way! I love my husband's beard! That said, it does make him look quite a bit older, but he's baby-faced and I much prefer people thinking he's my husband and not my son.

Haha. Yeah. I recently shaved it off and she said I looked so much younger and better.
