So I went out and bought hair cream. And some sand to rub on my face. And even caught a small woodland animal to skin in a manly woodsman way so I could build a fake beard if need be...
None of it worked. The sand exfoliated. The cream just softened. And the woodland creature was so sweet I had to let it go.
I wanted to be rough and manly like the men, even though I am secure in my womanly way to not grow a beard, which is the goal of this site, I just wanted to fit in. Just for a day.
This attempt at fake beardery took two days, and I failed, but I'm back now, older, wiser, and more honest. Here is my chin, without a manly whisker to be found.
