How many of you wear a beard?

I know most girls say they want a clean shaven man, but since I grew my beard out last year I've been making a more mature impression at work. The higher ups treat me differently than other guys my age. When it comes to women, I think it makes me look more masculine, yet also more stable. Women seem to trust me more. My sister said it gave me an old fashioned, distinguished look.

Do you wear a beard? How has it affected your first impression?
