    Keeps you warm in the winter.
    Makes you look tough.
    Saves you money on razors and shaving foam.

    And my favourite

    Covers up any wrinkles you may have around your mouth from smoking,a smokers dream.


    Can't think anymore off the top of my head.

    So what else is great about beards ?

    Makes you look older when you're underage and want to buy drink

    When you give someone crazy eyes it adds more depth

    You can go for an arty goatee look, a Ronnie Drew look or a Grizzly Adams look.

    I never felt manlier than when I get out of the shower and have to dry my beard. Beards are awesome.

    I'd say the best thing about having a beard, is the possession of said beard.

    You can be at the height of hipster fashion. Obviously you'll have to claim you're not a hipster but this will just lead people to assume you're a bear. If you're a hipster bear I can see the benefit. Otherwise...

    ability to give your arm/hand a good scratch without removing your hand from the xbox/ps control.

    also something to stroke (fnar fnar) when deep in thought

    Depends on the beard. They all give different impressions and have different advantages. For example, a nice full beard makes you look a bit tough. A goatee means you dont have to tell people you are a homosexual. An unshaven look makes you look a bit of a douche bit saves on razors.

    I never thought I could grow a proper beard but chanced it anyway. It's not exactly a grizzly adams but now I think I look weird clean shaven. My gf said she hated it, then I shaved and I could see she was less attracted to me instantly, deny it all you like girls, beards are awesome!

    Your Bodice attracting power goes up about 34%. This could a blessing or a curse.

    Bitches love beards. (And by bitches, I mean me)

    Also, did you know that Roald Dahl wrote The Twits because he hated beards!

    Some beards, do look like disease catchers though in fairness.... all sorts of **** stuck in them.
    I especially hate the guinness beard, usually sported on a Luke Kelly lookalikey, with pale pink lips and the durty aul guiness beard.
    I could vomit. :eek:

    I love beards on men. Something about a man with a beard and I am instantly attracted to them.

    Does the beard not stink of ciggy smoke and get bits of stuff stuck in it? I hate beards, sorry. I know they can look good on some men, but the foot is firmly down on them in our house. Stubble isn't woman friendly. There can't be many women who appreciate beard rash:D

    A beard adds gravitas when you opine. Everything you say takes on a deeper meaning. Win every argument instantly with a beardy chin thrust.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.
