You seem to be a couple of years older than I am. Get in touch with me ifever you are in Sweden and I’ll buy you a beer.
I’d go for A. It doesn’t look overly high-maintenance. At least not compared to a 1963 Jaguar. With 400,000 miles on it.
I’m a woman and I MUCH prefer facial hair, both moustache and beard, both because of the way it looks, and, more importantly the way it feels. “Clean -shaven” is pretty much a lie, since most men have some stubble most of the time, to the touch if not the eye. I’d rather kiss a hairy face than a stubbly one every time.
Well, did it ever occur to you that we men groom and change styles because we feel good that way, for ourselves, not for attracting you women :rolleyes: ?
Yeah, and wouldn’t it be a good little bonus if some girls happened to find it attractive :rolleyes:?
That’s why it’s referred to as a bonus. As in, you grow it for yourself, and if women happen to like it, that’s just extra.
Anyways, I have a mustache because a goatee looks silly without one. I have a goatee because it suits my face. Plus, I get told I look like my mom when I don’t. Well, for the 5 hours I have before bluebeard/stubble kicks in.
Oh, but I won’t deny there’s some “trying to get her panties wet” component. I was just parodying the “We don’t do it for men !!1!!11!!!” comment in female sexy fashion threads.
It may be a UL, but I heard that José María Aznar, the previous president of Spain, grew it on the advice that it would make the partial paralysis of his upper lip (caused by an infection on a nerve) less noticeable. He also did a lot of work to make his face more expressive, there was a visible difference between his expressiveness when he got elected and a few years later.
When my uncle I. shaved his beard off, the family’s youngest generations (none of us had known him beardless) reached the conclusion that he had had it for so long so we’d be able to distinguish him from his brother FJ. In pics from when they were kids they’re easy to tell apart, but as grown men and both beardless, they can pass for twins.
It whooshed straight over my head, I admit.
Certainly the attempted masculinity of this particular beard may be hurt by the fact that it looks like it was put on with mascara. When come back, bring androgen.
I will often grow a full beard … but as I have curlyish blond hair and wear glasses, if I try for the moustache-only thing, I immediate look exactly like a fucking extra on The Paper Chase, one corduroy jacket with elbow patches away from a serious law student with sincere liberal beliefs circa 1975. Tom Selleck it ain’t.
Well, sure. And some men even groom and change styles to attract other men which is why I kept my statement gender neutral, you’re the one who assumed I meant exclusively women.
And I offered it as just ONE reason, not THE reason. So, chill. Yep, I’m sure plenty of men groom and style to please themselves as well.
I usually have a mustache. The only reason is because I hate shaving my lip. The reasons I don’t have one now is because I’m keeping it off until I go to the memorial service for Mom–she always preferred me clean-shaven–and I lost the guide comb to my trimmer a while back.
I think the proper name for that is “Horseshoe”.
