I'm not able to comment on beards, but I will just register my delight that the link above contains (amongst other things) a dating site for zombies! It's here - zombies have romantic dreams too y'know.

You have given me vital, marriage-destroying ammunition in my ongoing domestic dispute over the real estate between my nose and Adam's apple. I'll be sending you the lawyers' fees.

Is this thread restricted to men's facial growth?

That picure looks alarmingly like Sir Anthony Hopkins.

I've shaved my usual scruff to a nice moustache and goatee (no vandyke business, mind you) specifically for this thread, giving myself what I like to call an Asano Tadanobu.

I'm sure there's another name for it, but whatever.

No, any kind of beard is allowed.

That goatee beard above is the sort of beard Guitar Wolf should grow. They should have beards, it's the only thing that would make them even cooler than they are.

Does it include a person posing as someone's partner so as to misinform the wider community about their 'partner's' true sexual inclinations?

I imagine that would also have an impact on my marriage....

I'm not able to comment on beards

I'm not sure I understand this. I feel able to comment even though I do not sport a beard.

Although actually having said that, I do not sport a beard yet but since my Auntie has a full mustache it's possible I one day will. I am mildly looking forward to a time when I too may shock people into choking on their coffee.

You think I don't mean full mustache, but I do.

Interestingly she also has a good growth of beard which she shaved off for my sister's wedding, but in a bizarre twist of logic she decided to keep the mustache for the occasion. I also plan to behave like this. Only I might also dye it an unignorable colour, possibly for my son's wedding.

Beneath Olulabelle's face there lies a secret beard.

An Olulabeard.

Your son's going to love you for your purple wedding moustache.

Grant, I wish my beard was limited to the real estate between my nose and Adam's apple. Mine is a barely interrupted pelt from chest to cheek. A bit much, actually. I'm in a quandry, in that I don't really like the huge throated-beard look, but I think the cultivated, coiffed beards many men sport (like those shown on this website) make them look a little like CGI beards. Is there no middle ground available?

I've a friend who, if I set fire to his toe-hair, his head would be in flames in a matter of seconds.

Tuna Ghost, beards.org identifies that style as a balbo. So now you know, and knowing is half the battle. In this case a mighty bearded battle. Possibly involving vikings.

I continue to rock a goatee and mustache combo with added sideburny goodness which I find gives a good balance between amount of face I have to shave and the amount of ginger I can accept in my facial hair. Occasionally I consider shaving it off but fear confronting the unadorned chin that lies beneath. A fear that grows ever worse the longer I have my beard.

Well tbh I don't really care for them but decided not to risk coming across as an anti-beard facist! But I do find them quite objectionable for reasons I simply cannot fathom.

As a newly minted bearded individual, I now fully embrace the Beard Party and most of its platforms.

Trim the edges with a razor, but don't use clippers on the hairy bits. Let them become rank and lush. Occasionally hack back with scissors.
