Turning on the female (and certain male) fans?
I don't even get that part. Sorry, I don't mean to pile on ... but I don't see the attraction. The caveman look? He's not bad looking when he keeps the beard under control. But (a) with no beard, or (b) beard out of control - in case (a) he looks like a nerd and in case (b) like a serial killer.
Wife and I debate this often: she think he's handsome with or without the beard, so go figure.
