He He,
John, that is a brilliant observation!!!
Si,
Iused to grow a beard every winter but as age is catching up all I can do is grow a grey patchy one. Nothing looks more "scruffy" than a half grey half dark beard and that "just for men," what the hell is THAT all about.
I must admit that I have not grown one for a for a few years now so my receeding hairline was not a consideration then, whereas now, I have to agree with you!
I will just stick to my "tush" whixh I have had since I was frist able to grow one and which constitutes one of the "dark" patches of my facial hair!!!!
