How about “it’s easier then shaving everyday”?
8 years later - yup. Look at this thick, manly symbol of my lack of fucks.
Appealing to prospective partners is not why I have a beard. Improving my standing with other men is not why I have a beard.
I have a beard because…I like it. It’s for me. I was clean shaven for a year for a job and hated it so much I quit.
If you don’t mind my asking, why do you think you hated it so much? Just hate the way it looks on you specifically?

It made me look 10 years younger and I’d prefer to look my age

Shaving is annoying. Occasional razor burn and cuts aside, it’s an “all or nothing” style. If you miss a spot, it sticks out against the smooth skin
-
Having to do it daily sucks especially for people like me who get 10am shadows. Post-shave stubble looks bad. Post-#1 trimmer stubble looks the same

It’s relaxing to scratch a beard and it doesn’t feel good to scratch a freshly-shaven face.
I trim my beard once a week and I can do it half asleep. it stays relatively nice and if I miss a spot, it mostly blends in. Sometimes during the week I will trim the couple of hairs that grow a little higher on my cheeks but even if I don’t, it doesn’t look too bad.
