Hey, @tedcruz, serious question, did you get facial-hair approval from your wife before you grew a beard?
FACT: Men who grow facial hair without 1st getting approval from their partner, w/ extremely high probability, are either having an affair or trying to do so.

Addendum: Also, if men grow facial hair just after a break-up/just after filing for divorce (or just after being served with divorce), then the same #BodyLanguage/Behavioral axiom applies — they were, with extremely high likelihood, being unfaithful.
Addendum No. 2: It's passed off as a response to teasing or a passive act (i.e., "The guys at the office are teasing me that I can't grow a beard", or "It's a vacation beard — I think I'll keep it."), but it not passive or lazy. It's quite deliberate.
Addendum No. 3: (With some exceptions), it's not sex-appeal or increased masculinity that these men are trying to project (although that's what they tell themselves). The primary underlying reason is facial hair acts as a form of psychological masking, protection, and/or cover.
Addendum No. 4: Another reason (overlapping with reasons mentioned above), is that the facial hair offers a psychological distinction/self-image between their 'old self' and their 'new self'.
