Beards again, but not really&

[Typhoon]

I followed the beard threads that have appeared on this board, but as a woman, I didnt have much to contribute.  Personally, I always thought that the attractiveness of facial hair depended on the face in question. 

Some guys look great with:

1)   Full beards

2)   Goatees

3)   Mustaches only

4)   None at all. 

It really depends on the guy.  (And also how fun to kiss and snuggle&)   

What I cant understand though, is this seeming trend of only having a small tuft of fur right below the lower lip.  I mean, what is that???  You missed a spot?  You want to remind yourself that you can grow facial hair, but&dont want the bother?  But then, whats the bother (or the point)? 

I dont know.  It just looks really dorky to me.

Thoughts?

Essentially, back in The Day, we called it a White Man Hater, because it tended to be flaunted by militant brothers. Now it tends to be flaunted by suburbanites.
 
Sigh.

I wonder about that sometimes too. 

Personally, I'd love to grow a full beard by my job forbids it.  However, I can have a mustache and I do.  That's a great thing as I find shaving above my upper lip is a pain sometimes (literally, I use a straight razor).

they do it to be unique, like everyone else.

Isn't that known as a soul patch?

It is the only spot that facial hair grows for me.  OK, maybe not the only spot, but there isn't much a chance for any beard on me.

After wearing a large 'stache for ~7-8 years, I cut it off last week. 48 hours later it was under construction again. I'm >50, age-wise, and balding. I keep my remaining hair cut close to my scalp. Not shaved, just cut as close as a standard clipper will cut.

My wife insisted I grow back the cookie-duster. She said it would be different if I had hair but there's too much face and head to be completely clear-cut.

Besides, I look like my dad without it. And he's old!
