Do it, you'll be more popular, I promise. Honestly! I have proof!! And the maintenance is minimal, and dead easy once you get the hang of it.
You wouldn't want to end up in bed with sasquach would you? Well what makes you think your girlie wants that either? Look after yourself FFS! You get your hair cut don't you, you clean your teeth regularly presumably, maybe you even use aftershave and moisturise occasionaly. Well look after the rest of yourself.
Oh, and the comment of it adding a couple of inches (not that I need it myself, clearly, in fact I'm thinking of having a couple of inches lopped off) but its true, trust me.
Do it, I'm getting so much I'm thinking of taking someone on to help me out!
