The social experiment that is my beard has moved past the planning phase, although the poll that I operated saw only 6 Yes votes to 4 No. With numbers so small, I can't really make any initial judgements, although I can make some interesting observations:
60% of straight women who participated voted Yes
100% of straight men who participated voted Yes
100% of gay men who participated voted No
These figures don't tell me everything I'd like to know. I suspect that reasons for voting varied in the Yes cases, but not in the No cases. The former could have been either caused by simple curiosity OR the belief that beards look good, while I'm more inclinded to believe that the latter all come from the belief that beards are unattractive. I say this based particularly on the gay vote, as those voters presumably have a better idea of what looks good on a man than any straight man does. Democracy has carried the day, however, and now data will have to be collected by research in the field. I'm such a nerd.
