Beards

leedsfan88 · 2010-04-08 01:26:29

So what do you think of people with beards? Are they trying to hide something? And what do the ladies think of them, are they a turn off or turn on?

I was under the impression that the only people who didn't have beards were those who cant grow one properly.

Beards are Awesome, and manly.

I have a beard and it's awesome. It's a 2/3 blade and looks fairly tidy and suits me a lot better than without - gf loves it too :cool: Don't know why if you have a beard people automatically picture Santa or a Trade Union representative

I always grow a beard for winter, no point letting that free insulation go to waste. I was a bit premature in shaving it this year it's awful going back to clean shaven on a cold day.

Beards are awesome. Any man who doesn't want a beard is one of two things:

A) Not rugged enough to grow one
A metrosexual (this is the worst kind of sexual)

I haven't shaved in about a week and from a distance I might look stubbly, but up close you can see it's just really sparse and light hair. My gf likes me clean shaven and fresh faced, probably cos I do look about 16, the durrty b1tch.

The real test of Manlieness is to completely ignore what your gf likes or wants*

*note: Completely Ignoring girlfriends needs and wants, while manly, may lead to cases of extreme lonliness

It is fun to annoy the gf. Part of the reason I was growing my hair long. Then I went to the barbers and asked her to keep the length and neaten it up, and she somehow heard "short back & sides". Feckin women never listen. Now my gf thinks I did it for her!!! If she thinks she has too much control I'll never get her to do that thing I like.

I grew a goatee after getting my chin cut in an accident, grew it for 2 years without trimming it, now i grow a goatee for 4-6 months then go clean shaven for a few weeks.

I love beards on men! I very rarely find bare faced men attractive. I think it's because no beard says "pre-pubescent boy".

Manly men ftw!

As a woman, have to say a beard on a man is a big turn-on.

A proper beard, that is. None of that poncey goatee ****e. Anything that needs to be groomed/"designed" is out.

I was under the illusion that turns (in this context) were either on or off, could you tell me if a turn out is a possitive or negative thing, or do a lot of people just turn up when a beardy man is around?
