There she is, the girl you've had your eye on, that you just keep running into.
It could be work, it could be school, but she's just unavoidable. You sort of hit it off, but she sees you as that sort of goofy, friendly guy. You can picture that night you leave work or class together, maybe have a few drinks, have a great time and then, right when you think the moment could be ripe she tells you how she really values you as a friend. Oh snap, buzzkill...Or maybe you've been friends for a long long time, but you have wanted more and can't break through that barrier.
To many of us friend is a four-letter word. But it's okay. In just two weeks, depending on your testosterone levels, you can put a plan into full-effect that will make you damned near irresistible to the object of your affection.
The first, and last, thing you do, is throw your razor away. Why? Because you're growing a beard, that's why. Beards are all the rage these days, and in a moment I'll explain the psychology behind it, but first a celebrity beard example: Jake Gyllenhaal.
So what's so appealing to women about a beard? Despite what the long-emerging metrosexual social norm will tell you, women still like a man that is, well, a man, at least biologically. The ability to grow a beard is an excellent sign of that. Also, take a look at that guy above. He's a celebrity, and he's sporting a beard. People tend to be swayed by popular opinion, and love to relate celebrity to their simple lives. So if they can say, "wow, his beard really makes him look like Russell Crowe circa Gladiator." Russell Crowe in particular might not be her bag, but she probably loves saying the word "circa" because it makes her sound smart.
But it goes further than that. Children love beards, and women love children. Small children will be fascinated by and grab at your facial hair, and once a couple are strapped in and the woman in question sees adorable children hanging from your beard, she will have no choice but to swoon completely. Beware, however, as this is an extremely powerful tactic. If your goal is just to snag some benefits, rufies are the way to go. A beard is sure to snag her in with maternal and romantic roots, prompting her to wish to have you father her children and build a house and a life together.
So your beard might look sweet, but remember the consequences because
with great power comes great responsibility.
How soon will you be growing a beard? Have your own suggestions for landing that girl?

How To Win Her Over: Be Jake Gyllenhaal.
I don't like beards.
breads are indeed sexy
I'm more of a goatee-liking kinda girl. But facial hair, on most, is definitely sexy.
oh man i love facial hair. WIN. p.s. it doesn't make me want babies, just benefits.
So I had a beard... shaved it off for my gf... then she tells me she actually liked it and wants it back. haha so im growing it out again.
I'm not particularly a fan of the full-grown beard. Maybe a mustache or a goatee. Never really thought about it.
beard=awesome
mutton chop sideburns=not awesome
it's all trial and error.
nono for beards :(
slighty off topic, but when people first saw this post on their feeds did it say "How to Win Her Over in Just Two Weeks: Grow a Bear..."? haha
I hope this post is read and followed by many men. I love beards, and would love it if they were even more common. :D
Did anyone notice the part where it said;
'To many of us friend is a four-letter word'
I always thought it was a six-letter word. Unless I'm missing something there....
Zee.
@zeeron@xanga - yes i did notice. i was staring and counting the letters HAHA
i think too much facial hair is unattractive to me. i prefer it clean or something like Wolverine's HAHA.
@xueyo@xanga - Lol, I had to get someone else to check for me. I was convinced.
Every man should always keep at least a day's worth of stubble. Facial hair makes a man look masculine and downright sexy.
@zeeron@xanga - He wasn't being literal - it's a saying:

Yeah... most girls I've met like clean shaved guys...
Hmm. I have also known a couple of attractive ladies who have a fear of bears, not to mention the beard can be scratchy during any kind of intimate activity (so I have heard).
never dated a guy with a full grown beard but i love stubble (even though it irritates my sensitive skin). after my boyfriend lets his grow out for a few days, i like to lick from his chin to his cheek..(blushes). i know it sounds weird, but the sensation of the whiskers on my tongue is so interesting!
ew........
One time, my ex-boyfriend came back home after camping for 2 weeks with a beard, and let's just say I welcomed him home in a very nice way :)
Beards: Fun to look at (and scratch and touch with fingers...) bad to kiss... etc...
Lesson: Use beards to attract girls, then shave them to keep them around!
I used to really like stubble and hated the idea of a beard. Then my man grew a beard.
And now he shaved it.
And now I miss it.
