That must make you a POSER, and this mysterious older man who couldn’t see through your ruse must be NAIVE and easily manipulated.
Well, either that, or you don’t like shaving and don’t like wearing a full beard.
Or, you just like being hot.
Oh, yeah? Well, that badass just gave half his paycheck to orphans!
Orphans with diseases!
Goatees are relatively innocuous compared to bulletheads. Gals, what gets you off about a cueball man?
Ethilrist, Miller, NoClueBoy, I’m blushing here! :o
I hardly ever get that sort of reaction in real life…must be because I’m usually sans goatee. I should start painting that baby on every day!
I don’t think a paintee is quite the same thing as a goatee. Unless it’s 1915, and you’re applying to be a Keystone Kop.
All you have to do is grow yourself a beard like this guy, and hot young women with goatees will be crawling all over you.
On you it looks good…
On most guys, it just makes them look like d!ckheads. Are gals getting off on the obvious visual allusions? Or do they just like the macho-ness of a bright shiny head?
Ladies, ladies, please … there’s enough of interface2x to go around. I think. Hypothetically.
The goatee does seem to be a bit overdone. All this trimming and shaping is a waste of time. It should be free and natural, and, for best results, patchy and uneven. I challenge anyone here to a beard-off. First one down to the knees wins.
Oh, me! Me!
I’ll never win, I just like to play.
You know, I’m a woman who, in some circles, is considered a “hot chick”; I also have rather large breasts, as it happens. I’ve been in love with guys with and without beards (one may or may not have a beard depending on his whim – it grows that fast!) I have also been “double-bearded”, i.e. having the inside of both elbows massaged by the beards of the two gentlemen wearing them. I melted.
Frankly, goatees don’t make a good first impression on me because I’ve seen too many guys wearing them who seem to be trying to be cool and impress women or, as someone said earlier, they come across as arty, pretentious types. I’m not really into either kind.
On the other hand, I’ll offer up the OP as an example of a much larger turn off. Look, whether I sleep with a man after one night or one year is none of your business. Whether I choose to do so because his facial hair stimulated my body or his conversation stimulated my mind is none of your business. Telling me what I think or what I must think will make me think you’re a twit, and I don’t bed twits. I can also look out for myself, thank you very much, and I’ve done a good job of it over the years. Among other things, it led to me dumping a rather arrogant fellow who tried to tell me what to do and think after one lunch date.

Y’know . . . women try to trick men into liking them via make-up and bras and such. Are all men nitwits for falling for that?
And I like goatees. A guy with a goatee came into work and Sunday and he just just . . . drool It looked really good on his face. I just about jumped the counter. But . . . y’know, that’s inappropriate.
God, I hope he comes in again when I’m working.
Well, I probably win on the patchy and uneven descriptor. For length though, I’d have trouble managing an inch, much less several feet.
This is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever read. You ignorant, pig-headed moron!
Naw, I’m just joshing you. You’re all right!
I, however, have hairy feet.
It takes a real man to admit that, especially out of context.
Seriously, what’s with the whole “trimming and shaping” thing? I shave my cheeks. That’s it. It’s the easiest part of the face to shave. It takes less than five minutes. Back when I had a full beard, maintenance was a pain in the ass, because the hair on one side of my face grows significantly faster than the other, and I end up looking like Inspector Detective. On my chin, though, it seems to all grow at more-or-less the same rate. I just keep the 'stache short enough so I don’t chew on it when I eat, and once a month even up the bottom. I’ve tried clean shaven, and I’ve tried full beard, and the goatee is far and away the easiest facial hair configuration to maintain. I’ve just spent more time describing my facial hair maintenace in this post than I spend actually maintaining it in an average week.
And dammit, it looks pretty good.
Yeah, but you’re obviously holding it upside down! (At least according to your other posts).
Now me, I have a handlebar moustache! Take that, you posers!
Face Fur of Destruction
Now, if that ain’t the funniest damn phrase ever to shout,
Band name!™
I can’t think of what would be.
So I finally caved to this silly tradition. I’m so ashamed.
