Today I shaved my beard.

[jetboots]

Well, I had to for work.

All I can say is that licking all the way around my lips feels very naked.
That and apperently girls find the lack of beards more sexy on average.

Have any of you males been denied the existance of the beard by the girl? Better yet, has a girl ever asked you to GROW a beard? Ive definitly been denied one before.

One day I would like to have the most artisitc shaving session and leave little triangles all over the place or something equally rediculous.

Why did work instruct you to do something you didn't want to do ? No sleazy little mf of an employer has any right to alter your appearance or change anything related to your private life just in return for handing out money earnt by your efforts. Back in the 19th century Bank-workers had to ask for permission to get married: in some countries they administer drug/alcohol/smoking tests even for what you do in your private life. Unless there's a totally valid reason, which is very rare, such as you sit underground ready to press the button, this is an affront to dignity.

As to beards, I reckon most girls dislike them because the regular spade shape type makes most men look indistinguishable; just as a group of girls in jeans all look the same after a while.

No-one has ever encouraged me to raise a beard, or even desist from shaving: personally, even the raggedy stubble of a week makes me look like a jewish peddler in old Poland, whereas clean-shaven I look like an Adonis*.

I agree with your point about beard, but with this:

I've worked for multiple employers (including present employer) that demanded drug tests before employment and one that regularly "provided" random drug tests. One of my former employers would allow NO facial hair whatsoever and had pretty strict guidelines for hair styles. One allowed mustaches but no hair past crease of mouth.

Dignity aside, unless you have the ability or resources or luck to be self-employed, you are likely to have to submit to drug tests and/or dress codes enforced by your (corporate) employer. It sucks, but it comes with the territory.

I have known women that loved beards, or just that I-haven't-shaved-for-a-week look on men; I am not much for facial hair though. Having to shave for a job is ridiculous. But it happens, c'est la vie...

...Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me.

PS I haven't shaved for two weeks. I am the last samurai.

You forgot to add "modest".

What about the I-haven't-shaved-for-a-month-and-a-half-cause-I-hate-shaving look?
