a goatee is only good if you have a 6 inch chin, otherwise it just looks lame

No everyone will think your evil!

I go the full beard option, trimmed with fang type beard growth either side of the chin. I want to have a beard like a kung fu master.

I got a bit adventurous during the summer but now that the weathers getting colder it's time to let her grow.

Not many beards around these days I don't think most can get past the itchy period.

Yes, there's a sad lack of will in most youngsters today.

Keep your beard. Let it thrive. Love it. And listen not to the naysayers, their ankles are too weak to allow them to have an opinion.

I had a wonderful beard which took me the best part of the summer to grow. It had that strange tint of red even though my hair is brown but most people said it looked great. Had to get rid of it because it was annoying the Girlfriend when kissing her, she did say she liked the look of it but just not the feel of it

Goaties look ok on some people, others it just looks like some dirt on their chin or something.

I'll stick with my short sandpaperish stubble thanks. Which appears about five seconds after I shave.

Don't tell anybody, but sometimes it does go ginger. I have a facial hair that changes colour.
Sometimes it is black, sometimes it goes gingery and sometimes it starts off black and then goes gingery.
I'm a daywalker.

Glad to see I'm not the only ginger flecked freak. When I pick the stubble out with my fingernails, the hairs always seem to be red for some reason, yet when I look closely in the mirror, the stubble is black or brown. Weird. I must be a closet ginger.

Depending on who you are, goatee's will let you accrue a level of Mephistolian sophistication or else resign you to the level of the common or garden crack-pimp.:)

Really? Sure everyone has their likes and dislike but no beard! For me,
beard/goatee+longish hair(perferably brown)=sexy as hell

It seems to be 50-50 from both threads...not bad.

I have a small beard. I keep it short and neat with no mustache. I hate mustaches on thier own. They remind me of old daddies smoking a pipe.... If its with a bear and the same length then it can work well but never alone...

Out of all my friends, most say the beard suits me and i really like it. I look alot younger without it and it give my plain face something cultivating at least. If i were specs with it, i look like a really smart coffee house college kid.
Girls seem to hate how they feel though on thier skin. Maybe i could wash it with a shampoo each shower to soften it up.

if ur hot- dont grow one,
if ur not- then do

Growing a beard meself at the mo, it'll be my first ever so i'm a bit apprehensive. Thing is, it was a bit patchy around the cheeks, so i shaved that part. It's now styled in a kinda Captain Jack Sparrow fashion - is this a mistake? I don't think it looks too bad, although it does make me look like a diabolist somewhat!
I've been off work for the past couple of weeks but i'm back tomorrow, so should know by then whether it's a good look or not!
