I can't grow facial hair...
Well outside of my sideburns.

Maybe if I didn't shave for like a month I'd have some growth, but for the most part, my face only gets little stubs and a few long hairs poking out.

That's it.

WTF?

5. You can have mine.
I'd have to shave twice a day to look clean shaven.

It's a pain in the ass.

8. Is this like, um, a good thing or a bad thing?
My wife can't grow facial hair for the life of her, and to be honest, I'm happy about that.

13. Well, look at it this way, Dude.
Shaving basically sucks.

I hate my electric razor.

Years ago, when I was chasing her, my (then future) wife basically said "lose the facial hair or lose your chances with me."

I shaved and have been shaving ever since. I love my wife more than I hate shaving, so I have to accept it I guess.

12. I'll trade if you'd like.
I hate shaving. I've considered having it lasered off.

14. If you want it to grow, you have to give it time to grow.

15. Well I know this...
But it'd take a long time.

I mean, I can go a week without shaving and you'll barely notice. I just look a little gross, though.

16. Then go 40 weeks without shaving.
I grew a full beard in High School. It didn't happen overnight.

22. I don't want to go that long.
I don't want to wait a fucking half-year just to get enough facial hair to look different.

17. Mr. AAL had to carry a razor in his pocket during basic training
His 5 o'clock shadow comes in at noon! I think he would rather have your issues. He gets really tired of shaving all the time.

20. He goes back and forth
Guard weekends he has no choice. Sometimes he'll go with a goatee (he looks really good with it) or just unshaven until he can't stand the itch anymore.

Luckily for him I like all of the above! :D

21. Facial hair is overrated
After shaving most everyday for 45 years I feel qualified to say that... :)

23. How old are you? Have you had your testosterone level tested?
I have a thin beard that doesn't really grow evenly. I do have normal testosterone levels though. It's just how the beard grows.

24. I'm in my 20s.
That's just it, though. I have really hairy legs, a hairy chest and then it just cuts out at around the bellybutton.

:/

25. Do you shave everyday?
I know it's supposed to be an old wives tale, but hair does actually seem to grow more the more you cut it. My facial hair didn't really seem to start growing in until I started shaving everyday for work.

28. If you're Irish
Yer SOL. My 5 brothers all have varying luck at growing facial hair. All of them have patchy hair, it's very slow growing, and they all look like this poor miners if they try for a full beard.
