I just went to a shop and met a dude with a full grown beard. Of course I immediately gave him a compliment about his beard. Then I told him that I am trying to grow a beard. Then, he told me that it is impossible for me to have side burns/whiskers. So I can grow some hair but I may not be able to grow a full beard. I think it's just me, but I think I saw him laugh. A smirk I suppose.
But that will not crush my commitment! I will keep from shaving until the next 3 months. To see it for myself. If I can grow a beard or not.
