If we’re shooting for serious man goals then let’s aim for the beard. Thanks to the wondrous place that the Internet is, we know all about a well-groomed Hipster Beard and a Ducktail, the Chin Curtain and a rowdy Stonewall Jackson. We clearly are spoilt for choice.
Beards happen to have magical properties – stroking a beard effortlessly makes way for great ideas, pubescent boys evolve into sexy beasts, and automatically acquire an aura of intellect (word to the wise: look out for these, it might be a ruse). You may be as charming as a teaspoon beneath that impeccable facial hair, but you could make women swoon for that mystery it inevitably spells. So ladies, girdle your loins, and boys prepare to take cue. Let’s begin with the oldies but the goldies, shall we?
