Once upon a time I had a beard.Wasn't the most fun person to be around. Didn't party, stopped flirting and being very sociable. I preached to all my friends about how they shouldn't chase tail and be (better) Muslims. Ahh better times!
I noticed that about 5 of my friends stuck around. I am sure it's not by chance 4/5 are in my shapes.
I met and spent time with the 5th 8 years later.
