[...] I’m nearly a year late in discovery but, as you know, I just love talking about beards. [...]

1. Not yet, saints be praised.

2. I think I dated a guy who had a beard; I mean, I know that I dated him, but I’m not sure whether he had a beard at the time. He went back and forth for years, and it’s been a long time. And once, I think for like three days, another ex-boyfriend grew a goatee. I thought it was cute, but then he shaved it off because he didn’t want to look like a fucking hipster. And I had a crush for about a million years on a guy who had a goatee. So, I guess my answer is: some beards are sexy, yes. Some beards are merely forgivable. And some, like the Mast brothers’, are unforgivable.

That said, I suspect that if a Mast brother plied a prospective partner with enough of that chocolate, she or he would not notice the fucking beard at all.

At present, I have a bar of the Dark Chocolate, Almonds, Sea Salt, & Olive Oil in my possession. It’s nice.

1. No. I need a way for the Boulder PD to identify the body.

2. No woman I have ever dated has had a beard on her face.

1. Goatee. Had one forever and I keep it since if I shave, I look a lot like my father and I like my goatee. I trim it pretty short every few days, mostly because it looks better and I don’t want to scare the kids I teach, ie preschoolers.

2. hope though I’m a hetero man, so I can’t really know for sure.

Got one. I left my job last summer, so I decided to try slacking harder.

Since I live in Japan, a beard, especially a blonde/brown/black speckled one like mine stands out. Whether it makes me looks better, the jury’s out.

1) sometimes. I have a disconnect between the mustache region and the mutton-chop region, so I tend to limit myself to three day stubble max.

2) I think they look ok on other people. Sometimes.

Beards! Curly hair! When I was a senior in high school, when mutton-chop sideburns were all the rage, I couldn’t grow them. I have an inch-long gap between the hair-line in front of my ears to where my beard begins. No side-burns for me, not even now when they’ve come back into fashion. But now side-burns would merely connect my beard to the fringe I keep trimmed once a week with clippers using no guard. And now I keep chin-whiskers trimmed the same length as my fringe. One-fucking-sixteenth inch long after I trim.

When it comes to the things we want that we don’t have, I have a saying I’ve said for years. I don’t think I’ve shared it here, but if I have forgive me.

“We all want what we don’t have. If you have curly hair, you want straight. If you have straight, you want curly.

But Everybody wants a big dick.”

I have a beard not as a conscious decision to grow a beard, but because I did not want to shave. I shave it off when it gets too long and interferes with things like eating or drinking (like when I accidentally take a bite of my facial hair).

I have friends who think they are hideous but I also have friends whose boyfriends/husbands grew beards and they realized they really liked the beard. But my beard is simply my decision to not shave regularly.

Also, my mustache parts grow poorly and my facial hair is fairly wispy as it is, but I still would rather grow a shitty beard than shave every day.
