It shares a common gene with nerdiness
You're calling me a nerd?
I get the "why did you dye your beard?" a lot. We should hang out. Pretend to be brothers or something.

I voted myself around the Alec Baldwin level. I had a patchy goatee in highschool that was rather yoda-esque. The color of my facial hair is predominately dark brown, but upon close inspection you can actually see individual red/black and dark blonde hairs. My facial hair grows rather quick as well, so I have to shave daily and use an electric razor now. I wetshaved for years until my mid 30s when I finally bought a good enough electric razor that wouldnt leave my face/neck looking like I had been to the butcher.
I have moderate chest hair - more than average, which went absolutely gray years ago. I have back hair as well but not thick.
As I get older I notice that while my top continues to thin, the hair on the back of my neck continues to thicken. When I get a haircut today, about a third of the whole process is shaving down the back of my neck. I have also developed ear/nose hair and the most appalling thing: my eyebrow hair is in the process of going gray and the ones that go grey lengthen and thicken to the point you could probably use them for fishing line. My wife routinely plucks my eyebrows when they get to a point that she cant stand it and the gray ones never come out easy and usually carry a chuck of flesh when they come out. Ouchie.

I suppose I'll have to vote a 7; the hair on the top of my head is generally kept fairly short, the hair on the front of it is more open to experimentation. I started shaving in middle school, which is probably somewhere around 12, and sometimes I stop for a while. I've had the full goatee a couple of times, the first of which was in high school, but the mustache is more fun. This semester I had handlebars until I got sick of making them curl at the ends.
As someone who has had a beard from time to time, there's certainly no more reason to trust me from one month to the clean-shaven next, but I suppose if someone were to hide their face away in a giant web of (red?) hair, it would be a bit more difficult to take him seriously.
My biggest complaint is getting the hair on my stomach caught in my belt buckle from time to time when I don't tuck in my shirt. It's quite painful sometimes.
I'm afraid I shall be in that situation someday...
I've had a red hair or two in mine, but I can at least claim redheaded genetics...

Unfortunately the 'hair expansion' came at the cost of the hair on my head. I'm not bald, but I could use some more hair up there. The doctor told me that the cause is a surplus of the male hormon testosterone.

Money says we have some common ancestors not too far back. Hell, I think I have distant relatives on both sides in missouri.

Then you qualify as a 'nerdiness carrier'....
Indeed I am!
Don't you live in Ottawa, too? I'll be back at christmas. If I see my doppelganger in the market I'll know it's you
NERD!
On a related topic, has anyone ever heard of the 'crusader hair' phenomenon? I was told a while back that there are the odd arab with red hair in the middle east today, thanks to some genetic material that was, erm, 'left behind' by europeans during the crusades. Hence, arabs can be nerds too...

I have two friends with this Red Beard thing. I think its quite funny to see two guys with brown hair and red beards. One is a Jock, the other is a Nerd and they aren't related.
Now me I might have to click the hairy as an average Jane or five year old girl. I am 23 and don't have any chest hair, back hair, nose hair, or ear hair. Neither my arms or my legs are very hairy and it takes me a week to develop a five o'clock shadow. If I don't shave for a month I will have a really patchy beard, it just long individual strands with gaps in between. Also no matter how long I go with out shaving they will not grow any longer or fill in the gaps. It just stays the same.

(1) I've got sandy blond hair, but a red beard. There's actually a line right under my sideburns where one ends and the other begins. I don't really mind, but I can't count the number of times folks have asked me "Why do you dye your beard?"Sure folks, i got nothing better to do with my time than dye my beard twice a week just to look as 'styling' as this!
Did you ever teach at a middle school in Toronto? Cause my history teacher back in grade 8 had the very same strange beard/hair dealie.

Nope, unless it happened duing one of my blackouts!
Dang, there seems to be more than a few canucks with my affliction. We should start a club!

I'm 15, and I've never had to shave. I barely have hair in my legs and arms, I have even barely noticeable eyebrows, and I can't grow long hair.
