I like them full and bushy ... but nicely trimmed. Never had a hankering to date a Hassid because their beards tend to be too long and straggly. Goatees are too artsy-fartsy. I also like long hair and ponytails, as long as it's clean and well-kempt. Greasy, dirty anything is not appealing. And, yes, kendall, beards do age most men, but who cares, if you love beards! moonchild
