Self expression, I guess. I've found a style that works really good and portrays my personality. Just a neatly trimmed full beard and most of the neck shaved.

When I was out on a bar some weeks ago, a random guy approached me and said, "Whatever you do, don't lose the beard - it's perfect!". I'm guessing that there's reasons to keep the beard when totally random people give compliments on the beard.

In case I need to make a "quick get away" shaving off a beard to alter your appearance is a lot easier than growing one.

No love for shaving and everyone thinks I look better with a beard.

Truth is, most men do it to give the illusion of a chin they are too fat to have. Not shaving is an easy alternative to losing weight.

Mine come and go. They usually show up during exam period when I can't be bothered to shave, then get cleaned up, and then go away whenever I get tired of them. People seem to like it though.

I'm guessing you didn't read that back.

Yup. Around the end of the semester I'll shave on saturday and ignore it for a week.

in combination with my long hair, I am able to play the roles of both satan and jesus in an Asian stage production.

Stubble at the least is required on a man. Only boys and bankers are smooth.

Can't get a lick of sideburns on my asian face!!!!
Both my brother and father have sufficient amount of facial hair.

I'm going to start charging for these polls. Or move them all to DT. Or both.

I'm surprised that not wanting to shave is leading....
