    I know, weird question :p But I've been unemployed for the last few months and going to college now so it's the first time I've had the chance (and the ability) to grow one :)

    I've seen some things like a guy try and grow every beard, but what is the best beard? :D

    Since we're talking about beards and odd questions, does anyone else think baseball is beardier than most other sports. Just an observation one night, but it's often you see professional sportsmen (or women) with beards.

    Growing a beard didn't do Saddam Hussein any harm.....................

    Beards are only cool if thats your thing - if you like them then they're defintely cool, hip and/or "with it"

    otherwise...not so much

    He would have been on the comedy circuit without facial hair.

    Only pirates can have beards


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,371 ✭✭✭✭Zillah


    Most women tend to find beards quite sexy. A lot of them don't realise it, but almost invariably they swoon when a beard is involved. I think it makes you look like a paedophile but whatever.

    Clean shaven,
    Zillah

    Ah no, sorry I meant I've been working the past few years full time and I wasn't allowed to grow one because it would look scruffy and It didn't grow that well before :P

    I wasn't looking at him or his beard at all during driving. I look straight ahead, and in my mirrors during driving. Wish he'd take me for a different type of ride in his car now.

    Why is this even being debated? How can you kids not already know the answer? I'd despair for this generation if most of you little bastards hadn't pissed me off already, I really would.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 64 ✭✭Captain Iggy


    Not only do you have the "scratch my top lip with my stubble" phase, then you get the "rub my chin with thumb and index finger" phase.

    This usually gives rise to the "push all of my beard hair up and see what it looks like in the mirror" era followed by "twist up the ends of my moustache into little cones so that I look like a villain in Flash Gordon"


    Beards....WWJD

    clean shaven is best, beards are just a pain in the butt, they get too itchy in summer, and always get food in them when you're trying to eat.

    Just watch the ice hockey playoffs, its considered unlucky to shave until you are knocked out and as the playoffs last for 2 months or so, the two teams in the final are quite literally the hairiest collection of men in the one room at the same time......look at the pictures of any winning team


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭Mrs JackDaniels


    Stubble is where its at imo

    Not tennage fluffy bum hair type stubble, the proper manly kind


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭Smart Bug


    I have the beard. It is good.

    It adds an air of mystery & rugged charm to my manly persona. Now I'm off to stare enigmatically into the middle-distance for a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,022 ✭✭✭johnny_knoxvile


    I like my women stubbley too...
