I couldn't grow a beard if I wanted to.
Well, I guess I could but you wouldn't be able to notice it.
Yay blonde hair.

The wife can't stand facial hair, so when I put on my "winter coat", it hasn't lasted for more than a week since I got married. Besides after about 3 weeks it gets so scraggly anyway, so I don't miss it.

I try to grow a beard every once and a while but have never made it past week 2. It itches too damn much. I wish I could stand it though as I hate shaving and usually only shave one a week.

I once grew a beard but it was for an acting role in a documentary.
My kids liked it. My girlfriend liked it too but was glad when it was gone.
I'm thinking of re-growing it just for that wierd feeling and comments you get when its shaved off.
This is when it was only about half there...

If I didn't shave for a week, I'd have a pretty good beard right then and there. I've had a goatee for the last...geez it's been awhile...And I shaved it off a couple weeks ago, for *****s and giggles. My wife immediately told me to put it back. She thought I looked too much like my brother and it was creeping her out. Also, I like to shave every second day and I grow facial hair pretty quick. So, I'd have a some pretty coarse hair on my chin and lip and it was driving her nuts whenever I'd give her a kiss....Let's keep this PG! Within a week I had the thing back on and now a week later it's fully in and been trimmed. I was actually finding shaving to be more of a pain...More facial area to deal with.
Who knows I might take it off in the spring for the aero advantage...Lord knows, I need all the help that I can.

I get my 5 o'clock shadow well before noon.
I could definitely grow out the beard, but my dad says that goatee's are for fat people with double chins. And as I agree with him, and I have no double chin to hide, I shave daily.

From Nov 1 to March 1 or maybe mid March, depending on the weather, I don't cut my hair, and I either go with a goatee or full beard, been doing it for years now. My wife hates it, and has always hated it. In addition to biking, I do allot of hiking and snowshoeing in the cold weather, so of course I need the extra protection...right?? Anyways, it's not so much that I do it for that, it's just that I keep my hair real short during the rest of the year, and cutting and shaving all of that hair off is my symbolic welcoming of a new season, a re-birth if you will, the sign that winter is over for another year.

Goatee in the summer and trimmed beard in the winter. Nice not having to shave as much. No problems with snot rockets, but I do get icicles.

Never thought about growing any facial hair. I think it is ugly looking and prefer the clean look over the burly one any day. I can live without it, happily!

I hate people with goatee's. They strike me as pseudo intellectuals who wear box-framed emo glasses, hang out at internet cafe's even though they have internet at their house and wear suede jackets over emo band t-shirts.
