                                                Bearded since: 2008.  I am an experimental beard grower.
 Comments:
 I grew a beard for three reasons: One because I've always wanted to grow a beard, two because my Chinese girlfriend and I broke up, and three because beards are manly!
 
 How do I feel about my beard?  I recently climbed one of the Five Ancient Chinese mountains and if it weren't for my beard and the manly inspiration it gave me, I do not know if I would have made it.
 
 That's right my beard inspires me. My beard also makes me feel cool like when I ride around my all Chinese campus and people see the American guy, they think..."Who's that sexy foreigner and why is he soo sexy," and then they realize he has a beard and are like, "Oh, that's why he's so sexy."
