Ever see a guy age 15yrs just because...

...he grew a beard? 

There's a guy in the next office on my floor.  Cute guy, very athletic.  Rides a bike to work and everything.  Looks like a real smart one too.  He grew some nastiness on his face and he looks like he aged soooooooo much. 

ICK!

That's totally my dh!  He has a bit of a babyface and with a beard he looks much older.

In Feb., dh started a new job (with beard).  He's in sales and calls on his customers.  He shaved the beard in the summer and this fall saw multiple repeat customers who said that their sales rep is an older guy, like in his 40's.  Dh said "no, it's not, it's me, we met a few months ago"  (He's early 30's.)  A few actually didn't believe him and insisted it was a different person.

I kinda like the beard though.  I was resistant at first but now I've decided it's kind of professorly.
