Amazing question! First grow a set and then grow a beard! Where is the damned "like" button?

I really don't get the new Bin Laden beard trend. I understand it if you are growing it to hide ugly, but otherwise, shave. Women don't really want sasquatch rootin' around in their crotch. This^^^. WTH is it with the freaking muzzy/ISIS look.

I wonder how many guys would accept when their wife comes up to announce they won't be "shaving anything any longer"... Hmmm?  I heard it several times, and took her to task... She folded long before I complained.

Not the most pressing issue of our times, but need advice on how to win my wonderful wife over to accept a beard. Tell her to break up with her boyfriend if she doesn't like his beard.

I am MAGA.

Grow a set.
Then grow your beard, in that order. Glad I read a few posts ahead before posting my first thought, I hate being repetitious.

Thanks guys I appreciate your recommendations! Contrary to what my question may lead some to believe my male anatomy is intact, I served in the United States Marine Corps; and would like to win my wife of more than 25 years' acceptance of this thing. Some of your suggestions should help. At least my Lab seems to like it!

In all honesty, Keep it trimmed to about 3 or 4 guard at first. Keep it clean and neat. Use a beard wax/oil as it gets longer. Biggest complaint was that it would "smell" at th eend of the day. Wash it and care for it she'll get over it.

Not the most pressing issue of our times, but need advice on how to win my wonderful wife over to accept a beard. "Beards and how do I get my wife to accept one" If she is over forty then wrap it around a Mastercard, if she is under forty stick it to an Iphone.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Or if it's the biker trash look you want, find a good neck tattoo artist. Or if it's the Muslim look you want, don't stop short of your glory, wear a turban to complement it.

Grew my beard at age 18 and have worn it pretty much continuously since then. I had a full beard when I got married so it has never been an issue with the wife. Same here. My sister was a Spanish exchange student. Lived in Spain for several years. Said the worst thing was they only bathe twice a week, and only prostitutes shave anything. She HATED not being able to shave her pits and legs.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
