But I haven't cut my hair in over 5 years and I literally get MORE ASS from chicks who say I look like Jesus. (not the one from the big lebowski) 
 
Also, people take me more seriously more often, I get more respect, implicit obedience from total strangers (randomly but frequently) and less debates. (in person anyway, the beard doesn't seem to effect my online interactions - strangely enough lol.)

 Well, I dig beards, too, but this is about goatees vs. mutton chops, kind of a "beard micro-niche", if you will.  

  Beards can get you laid like tattoos can get you laid: they're both conversation-starters for the opposite sex as well as "filters".  Those who dig that look will be more apt to follow-through.  Again, kind of like filtered blog traffic vs. random click traffic.  LOL

 Said the chcik/dude with the pink hair and ever-changing avatar.  Snort.  
(Scruffy gets laid three times as much as clean-shaven and 'neat', trust me.)
