    my mustache started growing in at age 13. It got pretty thick, but my beard is still patchy and I turn 30 next month.

    My boyfriend says my beard will never be as nice as his because I'm a girl, but i'm hoping my strength training will help me become more manly.

    I love beards! My bf can grow a great one, seems that below the ears it grows great but above not so much, but he looks awesome :glasses:

    However he can't grow a really good beard because of his job, but one day. . .

    I am getting my own beard as well, all kidding aside, might be time for lazer hair removal before others start to see it as much as I do.

    I'm 41; I'll let you know. Granted, I had a motor vehicle accident as a teen that gave me some scar tissue.

    Graduated high school at 17 with an absolute 'baby-booty' face with a shadow pretending to be a moustache! (one of my nephews had a 'thicker' moustache at age 5! Seriously!) Was weird because I was born with long hair, had body hair even before puberty, and it... grew... quick! However, my face was apparently a no-grow zone....

    Went to college early (summer entry); somewhere in the 1st 2 years I grew 4" in height, 2 shoe sizes, gained 40 lbs, and turned into a friggin' sasquatch! It was Virginia Tech, so I blame the water, unlimited (good) dining hall food, and the altitude.

    Not until around 15. I had a friend of mine who had a full beard in 6th grade. Furry dude.

    Just turned 40 and I guess my hormones are kicking in b/c i just started finding goat hairs...
    isn't that how a beard starts? haha

    My husband didn't have enough hair until his mid 20's and his chest hair grew at around 26 years old. men are sexier hairless, in my opinion!

    started around 16 didn't have a solid connected goatee until 24ish, so don't feel bad it takes time for some of us.

    I'm thinking after menopause but I'm really hoping not

    Yeah, I just turned 41... no beard yet, but I'm not thrilled with these cat wiskers I've got going on lately at the corner of my mouth.:frown:

    Not sure. Joined the Marines when I graduated HS. Got out at 22 and I grew this beard as my head went bald. I've looked like this for almost 40 years. Can't recall any other look. Just varying darker shades.

    I have prickly stray hairs that grow out from my chin and above my mouth. Without it, I look like I'm in my 20's when I'm actually 35. I keep it around to annoy the wife.

    Never cuz Im a chick, although
    I do kno some chicks with beards.
    How do they do it?
    Do they shave the peach fuzz?
    And it gets so outta control that they just let it grow out.
