It does seem like beards are associate with some type of thinking.  Could be profound/wise thinking.  Could be devious thinking.

hmmmm ... well, in this case I am more inclined to look at the eyes rather than the beard.

I like eyes *day dreams*

I have to admit he does have beautiful eyes. Maybe the beard is for thinking, but the eyes attract people so they think you're wise.

Aren't beard also associated with criminals?

Never heard of that before. I know that if your eyebrows connect (a monobrow), that is supposedly the sign of a murderer. Load of rubbish.

If it were so, would each trim of them signify a temporary abandonment of wisdom?

I just grew back my beard. I feel smarter already!  ;) Actually, most people say it does makes me look more "scholarly" and "distinguished"--I can live with that. Mine is only about 3/8" long--no Bin Laden for me!
