I personally love the way I look with a nice thick beard that is well groomed, my barber lines it up for me with a straight edge. Not a fan of the stubble shit,nothing screams MAJOR TOOL to a girl if she sees a guy with stubble and a waxed chest. I get treated like a king with a beard, and I think most guys will agree they get more respect with a beard than being clean shaven…. but I Definitely have a harder time getting laid with it. I think the bigger guy you are the more having a beard works against you because you just look overly aggressive. Picture a 6'0 175 pound guy with a beard dressed sharp. Women will think he's a badass. Some 230 pound meathead they'll be scared to make eye contact lol. To answer your question though no... I wouldn't grow a beard unless the chick has seen pictures of me with a beard or seen me with one prior
