These men who are unable to grow a beard are called lots of names like "bottle" and made to feel less manly for something they have no control of as the ability to grow a beard is simply based on genetics not manliness or virility.

So, genetics is simply the reason you are unable to grow a beard, therefore, it is not your fault.

You can take solace in knowing that studies have shown that men who have the ability to grow beards are more more likely to go bald.

Remember, you do not need facial hair to feel manly or virile, that should come from within.
