Beards!

One time I had a Union job at Lord and Taylor - An ultra high-end Macy's type store. I showed up every day in ripped jeans that showed my boxer shorts and half my ass. The foreman told me to dress better so the next day I showed up in my NYC club attire. 150 dollar jeans and an 80 dollar guido button down. I looked like Pauly D with a toolbelt on. I did that thinking it would be funny and the other guys would jeer me but no, they didn't bat an eyelash at my metrosexual carpenter regalia. I got myself fired a week later out of spite. Just wanted to share that. :roll:
 
I would just like to add this about the "women prefer men without beards" theme:

I have sported a couple of really long, unruly, unkempt beards in my life, and I took a trip to dirtbike across Cambodia while I had one of these. The women over there went crazy for my beard. I constantly had women coming up and looking at me, talking to me about my beard, some even touching it because they couldn't believe it was real. There were other young, single foreign men in the group with me, and none of them received similar attention.

One of the women told me I "was young, but looked old" because of the beard--instead of this being an insult, however, they took it as something to be physically attracted to. So, maybe women dislike beards in much of the western world, but in Cambodia at least, a beard is chick-magnet, and the bigger the better.
 
What's lamer than goading about your sexual prowess in a forum?

I have been clean shaven for the past 5 years, I am now leaving the fur grow, see if I like it or not. Might end up shaving it in the end.
 
Oh, I'm not bragging at all. I got no action then, and I've never gotten any action. I'm a complete loser with women, but...

I'm just saying that If there is any statistical truth to women disliking beards, then it is only a regional thing. If you wanted women to like your beard, there are places in this world where it is definitely a turn-on rather than a turn off.
 
Newsflash!

This just in: Everybody you ever meet, ever work for, ever work with, ever try to date, ever try to socialize with - will judge you unfairly based on superficial bullshit.

It's called the human condition, we read too much into everything, especially the stuff that matters the least.

Life is not now, nor will it ever be fair or ideal. Get used to it or suffer the consequences.
 
I shaved my beard about a year ago and decided never to do that again. Had to show my id every time I was buying cigarettes. Also I like my face more with beard.
 
3 years later and i still can't grow a full beard. The thought circled through my head when i just watched a clip of Bill Evans last concert. The man has gone from a soft spoken baby face, to a full lumberjack. Would love to pack that kind of hair if just for once in a lifetime, though seeing as Brahms had the same problem in his youth, but still managed to pull off a huge beard in his later years, maybe i'm not at my peak yet.

Me and my brother are both Norwegians, but we share a mixed heritage, including some strong beard-killing genes. Me, being a scientist-type, knew this, my brother was much more unaware, and finally came to me in his early 20s, desperate, "When am I gonna get a damn beard!? I shave and shave but nothing further grows!" "Yeaaah, about thaaat... what you have now is basically as good as its gonna get." "WHAT!?"

My brother, on the flipside, can already grow a pretty decent beard... Makes me wonder sometimes, if our mother is holding out any secrets on us :lol:. I do have pretty fluffy eyebrows and long eyelashes though... probably stole all that beard material...
 
I stoped shaving for 2 weeks and now I have a shitty neckbeard, mostly because I don't like having mustache or having hair on my cheeks (I know how gay that sounds).
I am thinking about shaving the whole thing again.
 
I can't believe I never posted in this thread.

Not that I have an opinion when it comes to beards.

If I have any facial hair, it's because I'm a lazy bastard: I shave just once a week. But that's how long I can deal with facial hair, after one week it just gets itchy and uncomfortable. I look a lot younger when I shave, I have too many gray hairs and it's only getting worse.

A couple of days ago there was an article in the newspapers stating that the beard craze is practically over because almost everyone between 20 and 40 felt they had to grow a beard as a fashion statement.
 
Really? I thought beards are totally coming back currently.

I actually need to keep a light beard, or else I look like a douchebag. More than on other days.
 
Beards have been coming back, but now there's an oversaturation of beards so they'll phase out soon. Or that's what the fashion guys say.
I, for one, welcome our beardless future as I'm still unable to grow a decent beard.
 
I'd love to have a beard but I have a weird problem - it grows rather well on most places except the top of my chin, or rather, the very bottom. The tip of it. Or whatever.
It is annoying when you have hair covering your face and there's another hole under your mouth. So I just shave.


Eh, maybe one day.
