Bearded since: 2010.

My social group challenged me to grow a beard. Did I turn this challenge down, I hear you ask. No, I welcomed it with open arms and began my journey to bearded nirvana. At first they laughed. But little did they know it would become a godlike tuft resting upon my perfect face. Now I laugh in their (bald) faces.

My girlfriend also loved the manliness of it.
How: Like a boss.
