| Tell Us Why You Have The MEANEST Beard? (Share An Interesting Story Behind Your Beard. We Want To Know Who The Man Behind The Beard Is.) | My beard and size are intimidating, almost to a fault. I'm 6"5' about 250ish. And it was that, that almost cost me the opportunity at my "big guy, beard loving" girl. She loves everything about me but she said she was not sure how I'd take her advancements because I look so MEAN lol. But here I am with an incredible relationship with an incredible woman......and a Mean Beard! |

| Tell Us Why You Have The MEANEST Beard? (Share An Interesting Story Behind Your Beard. We Want To Know Who The Man Behind The Beard Is.) | I started growing my beard in 2011 after my son was born just to try out something different. I kept it short for a while due to work guidelines. Well the guidelines changed and I decide to see just what kind of Mean Beard I can grow, so I stopped trimming it about 2 1/2 yrs ago. I am amazed at how well my beard as come in and the length. I am an unstoppable force when I tie up my beard and get to work. |

| Tell Us Why You Have The MEANEST Beard? (Share An Interesting Story Behind Your Beard. We Want To Know Who The Man Behind The Beard Is.) | When I was 12 years old I was traveling through Los Angeles with a friend and his parents. We saw an older fellow standing on a street corner wearing a long gray hospital looking gown also wearing a Confederate Soldier cap. He had a long white beard. I commented to my friends that someday I hoped to have a beard like that. Eventually I was mature enough to grow a beard and today at age 68, it's an exact replica of the one I saw 56years earlier! |
