I wanna have a beard when I grow up.

How does one go about growing a beard? Is it purely natural win, excessive fail, or either or?
I've never experienced a beard before, but I would like to. Please, help me with my research, and you can get all four posts in one day.

It's.. well a beard. I feel nothing special towards it. I just keep it cause it cuts down on how often I have to shave.

I'm lazy. And my skin breaks out everytime I shave.

they're overrated. Shaving sucks. You always have to keep it trimmed or you'll look stupid, even more so early on in the beard growing stage. But it happens naturally, and there isn't anything you'll be able to do to change your genetics.

Is it true that Asians and Native Americans can't get facial hair??

No. I think it may be harder for them to fill out a complete beard in some cases, so most keep a clean shave to avoid looking foolish.

Oh, like the chinese guys with the pointy beard and the dragon mustache thingy??

IMO: some people have alot of facial hair, some people have next to none, some people have belore average amount. just keep shaving before you try and grow one, you'll end up looking like a bum if its not ready to be grown out. and also; if you decide to grow one , it takes alot of looking after, i get acne pretty bad if i dont shampoo it every single day lol

Beards are more trouble than they're worth - it's easier to stay clean shaven, and you'll look better (I've had a face that's smooth as a baby's arse for nearly three months).

Beards need trimming, you see, else you'll just look a fool, and when it comes to shaving it all off you'll have a 'mare of a time - shaving stubble is simple; hacking off a tightly knotted mass of hair is not.

Having said that, goferit! Every man needs a beard phase.
