Why?
Some of the sexiest men are or have been bald.Sexy is sexy and has nowt to do with hair or lack of it.

I like my goatee, but it is a lot of hassle, like with drinking.

I find it a bit hit-and-miss with women. Some like facial hair, some don't. I have found that some women like to stroke it for novelty, but it doesn't have huge commercial appeal. I do love playing with though. When I cut it short, I do miss stroking it. The trouble is with that, when I stroke it, it weakens the hair and pulls a lot out

.....too much detail.....

If I had to have any facial hair, a goatee is what I'd have. In the absence of any such strange law, I'd rather be clean shaven.

I have a rotating goatee. I shave it off every 2 weeks then grow it back again. The reason is I can never get an even length all over with the scissors. Maybe I should consider a beard trimmer? but to be honest, I like the variety.

Well.. I have a full beard and have had one since I could grow one

I've done that thing with a sharp bit of metal scraped across me face about half a dozen times and hated it

apart from the rash every time I did it.
I love my beard but it does get trimmed every 2 weeks( On orders from the boss

)

No No No - Nuff said!
you 16 males todate that think they look cool need to think a little harder

Scrubbs · 01-11-2004, 18:14

I think If you can grow a beard/goatee, and not everyone can

You always have the option of taking it off whenever you want

If you can't grow one you don't have the option

Why isn't there an option on the vote for "what business is it of mine"?

Is it like those bow ties you can get in joke shops which spin round and round and sometimes light up?

Ahh, I see what you mean now. Still, it conjoured up a wonderful image in my mind.

Then just the man to ask. Do you have problems drinking soup? Is it a crumb collector?

I don't have any problems eating, but one of the hassles I mentioned about earlier, is that my moustache part of it absorbs qhatever liquid I am drinking, so I have to drink slowly, and generally have to wipe my top lip a lot.

I am going to die alone, I know it...

martinell · 01-11-2004, 20:04

took me about 5 months to decide whether i liked it or not(grow it, shave it,grow it, shave it etc) but now i cant imagine what i would do if it wasn't there any more

such a help to the confused mind.
hate having to trim it though but the straggly bits next to your mouth can get a pain and the quantity of beer my tash can hold is amazing

The beer absorbency's one of the best bits - go out for the night, come home and you haven't got to bother opening another beer, just suck the tash for an hour or so!
