I wonder what it is with wifey's and beards  :think:.  Scratchy?  Unkempt looking? 

I work with a guy who has a ZZ Top beard.  It's quite epic actually.  I've been scruffy fro the past 20 years and my female friends always tell me I should clean up.  I get it but a full blown awesome beard is, well AWESOME. 

It must be the same thing as some men not liking when their wife or gf cuts off all their hair  :think:

That's funny, because it's always been the opposite of my situation. The wifey loves the beard, and once in 1998 when I went for a job interview and the place I was applying for had a no beard policy so I cut it off just before the interview, wifey hated it!!! Told me to not bother taking the job and grow the beard back. Once in 2005 or 6 when I trimmed ti down to a van dyke goatee, she hated that. But so did I and grew it back with no urging from the better half. Afterward, she told me if I cut it off again, she'd go get a butch haircut. We agreed I'd have the beard until death do us part. I don't like the idea of Karen with a short haircut!!!!
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

My wife loves my Goatee, but hates a mustache or full beard.  She's very specific.

Good on you bearded guys  :salute: 

I can see if you got together with your significant others when you couldn't grow facial hair then grew out this massive beard.  I've always done what I wanted when it came to appearance aside from work regulations.  I had really long hair at one point working in kitchens and while the bosses weren't too pleased I always just wore a hairnet and bandana plus hat just so they'd keep quiet. 

When I was married ( 20 yrs ) the wife preferred clean shaven, clean cut.  When I struck out on my own ( business ) I rarely if even was clean shaven again.  I don't have a thick logger beard ( too much native american blood I think ) but a #2-3 guard is best I can manage.  Sometimes I shave and go with a van dyke which is where I am now.  Stubble is growing in so I'll leave it this way till I fancy shaving again or not.

If I could grow out a full blown thick beard you bet I'd be doing that pronto.

Sorry for the crappy pic, today I finally buzzed the sides off.. at first I only trimmed and tightened the sides but it really didn't look like I did anything, and just said ah, this is the longest I've ever had it so I just buzzed it off. Is it me or do I look thinner? The top is also the longest it's been in over 17yrs, I can pinch and pull it, I don't like it! Cause if I can that means the wife can!

I've definitely settled back on my usual "trim" look.  Not too long, not too short, but just right (for me anyway).

If I wax it, it curls a heck of a lot more. I'm still not convinced whether to stick with it, grow it more, or hack it back to "modern" proportions  :think:

Not really, more like I need to trim it :D

That's about as long it will grow before I have to trim it, It starts to grow all over the place

Beards... hm... well...

I don´t have one and I won´t have one. I work in an authority and beards are not so well seen there. Usually my face is as a plain as a baby´s butt. Need to shave every two days.

Once I had an accident I nearly shot out my right eye with a metal shrapnel that went off a chisel and direclty onto my retina. Well, long long ago and I had to stay off from work for about two months. Did no shaving. My wife hated it. I can easiyl remember her "Remove that sauerkraut off your face - looks like an old cat!" ... and all that blabber.

Never did get any beard since then....
