Gentlemen, measure your sideburns!

Okay, drop everything and measure those things. Start at your best estimate of where the head-hair ends and the face-hair begins. If you have a beard, congratulations- you have infinite sideburns!

Confession: When I was measuring just now I realized that my sideburns were of unequal length!

I have heard of these 'sideburns'

If I had sideburns I would look like Eddie Hitler.

i always have infinite sideburns except that one time i got a haircut and for some reason the dude shaved a line in between my burns and my beard. what is up with that?

I had to shave my beard, but I kept the sideburns and then I grew a kind of chinstrap so technically, it's a beard again but not a full one.

my hair and sideburns don't link up though - there's a tiny bald gap where my temples are, but the hair grows over it.

1-2 inches, nearer 2, thought they have been as long as 4 in the past.

it's an inverse to your shoe size thing, I reckons.

My sideburns are metric.

I hate sideburns and always shave up to a point in line with the top of my ears.

Nearly 3 inches probably. I usually get rid of them after a couple of weeks or a month again, they come back, let them stay for a couple of weeks etc.

When I get a haircut I usually cut them back to about an inch, but then every time I shave they creep a little farther down my face until they're eventually over 2 inches and ungainly.

1/2" or less. Ever since the gray/brown ratio started getting a little rich, I've kept them shorter and shorter.

One of the main reasons I like having sideburns is that it means there's less of my face that I have to shave. Kind of like why I want to put a wide strip of flowers and mulch around the perimeter of my yard and house- less to mow.

Just a bit more than 2". Measured from where the top of my ear connects to my head.

4 inches or more. 1

This just further convinces me that I'm doing everything right.

Sideburns are just wrong wrong wrong. Beard or nothing, anything else and you're just vandalizing your face.
