When did facial hair become a thing? Growing a beard is hard, if not downright impossible for some of us. But that certainly doesn't keep us guys from trying...



But while we might aspire to sprout majestic beards like the ones sported by these handsome celebrities below..



The reality though  is that it usually ends up looking more like this...

THE HAIRY LIP

THE PEDO-STACHE

THE AWKWARD-STACHE

THE PATCHY BEARD

THE WTF

But the WORSE stage of all is that itchy phase, when it's not quite a beard but super scratchy as hell!

Some of you might even be considering spending money on one of those weird 'beard transplants' that the internet was raving about a while back

But eventually, most guys will reach a stage where they'll realize not all great men are meant to be born with epic beards.

So instead of cursing the facial hair gods for cursing you with "baby-face" syndrome, try EMBRACING that tasteful stubble or just go clean-shaven.

Because for every woman who insists on only dating men who need to comb their face every day...

...there will always be plenty of other ladies who would prefer rubbing their hands all over your hairless visage.
