Facial Hair Discussion K?

Alrighty. So, I have a deal running with a close female friend. She had long hair for the longest time (since, like, 3rd grade) and finally cut it to shoulder-length. I asked her why she cut it, she said she felt like it. Said she'd grow it out if I grew a beard, kinda like a joke. She'd been railing on me for growing one for quite some time, so I figured "what the hell." I don't have any job interviews for some time anyways. No need to look neat and spiffy.

So, I'm shooting for the Grizzly Adams sorta look for now just to humor her. Brought this up to a friend lately and he laughed, saying it'd drive girls away. "Wasn't my intent to draw any in doing this," I told him. Another person in the room insisted that all the ladies he knew (or most. Something like that) preferred a fella with some decent facial hair.

Now, I'm not doing this to try and SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE or anything. Moreso an inside joke between her and me. Kinda hard to describe the backstory on. But my buddies and I fell into a short little discussion on this. Do ladies (on average) like their beaus to be clean shaven? Or scraggled? Or rivalling Cousin It? Any point where you absolutely draw the line? (I realize all people have their preferences, but indulge me with a nice stack-up of GFF opinions.)

For the guys... Can you even stand growing a beard? Got one? (This spilled over into an accompanying discussion. For example, both of my brothers can't grow a beard because they say it itches too much. Or it comes in too thin to allow them to even grow a decent one.)

Alternate question to the ladies -- can you grow a beard? pics plz

I believe there was a thread in the past on this. But I haven't seen one as of late. So bah. Here it is.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I shaved today, but my beard was a little thicker than yours, Electric. Not by a ton. But it feels weird. I look like young tyke whenever I look in the mirror =( AND MY FACE IS COLD.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
