View Full Version : Are you a real man?
I am just curious to see how many real men we have on the Org.
PS. Pathetic little fuzzle does not constitute a beard.
This is going to be an interesting thread... :P

You are just jealous because you want a beard. ~;) It is just like Freud said, only he mistook beard for *youknowwhat*.
I can grow a thin scraggly one under my chin. For this reason I opt to shave it off. Still think I look cool though.

Don't worry, you will get there one day. ~;) Seriously, few things annoy me more than people going around with tiny little straggles of hair sticking out of their face in random places. :P If you cannot cut it, then cut it off! (a little pun there for your ~;)) :P
A very nice pun at that. I have attempted to grow it in the past, but usually shave it off in disgust relatively quickly!

Yeah, when I was younger I tried a mustache a few times, but that did not turn out well. :P I wasn't able to grow a full beard until I was 18. :P My dad had a pretty big one, all grown in when he was only 16. :P I come from a hairy family. P

choice # 1: I do have a beard (which I regularly shave off, so as to grow more of it-for some odd reason, shaving it off cause more of it to grow. must be my age :clown:)
I come from a hairy family
Not me, both sides are quite hairless. Balding doesn't run in the family thank goodness!

I don't have a beard now, but in the winter I often grow one, to shield my face from blustering winds as I ride my motorcycle across the mountain passes. It helps while skiing too.
And if I do say so myself, it can be quite impressive.

I could grow one easy enough, I almost have a permament facial hair shadow due to my facial hair growing thing. I have only grown it to around a 1 cm length (which is a few days - week) otherwise the hair irriates the skin.

I see we have some jealous hairless youths among us. :wink:
Me, not only do i have a beard, but I am capable of growing the most intimidating beard of anyone I know. Of course, I usually keep it fairly close-cropped and neat, but it still cows other men with its presence and hypnotized ladies with the might of its sexual vibrations.

I've had my beard for just about 30 years now. Mrs. Gregoshi likes it and so do I.
Facial hair is for savages. ******s prefer to groom themselves, plus the majority of women prefer rugged men
don't be a *****-men should always have good looking beards/facial hair, when possible under cultural and physical limitations. :clown:
I just realized: I could go for the assyrian/ancient arabian look. all beard lovers in favor say "Aye".
I can only grow the fuzzy stuff
I can grow (and usually sport) a respectable mustache & goatee, but that's about it. For whatever reason, my whiskers flatly refuse to exceed a half-inch, so a full beard is out of the question for me.

I can grow a beard thanks to the slav in me I choose not to.
To rest my case, can you grow a beard in the military? No, and only real men join the military. Beards are for hippies, communists, and catamites.*
* why catamite you ask? Well when you throw down a statement like that you gotta throw words like that around.
As well a list of greats with no facial hair.

you do realize I'm joking round here..course I know all that; even though I can grow a beard, I still shave it anyways. I personally don't really care, but I do like jabbing people nonetheless. (I suspect you're referring to my post and that of others who expressed similar attitudes-jest or not)
besides, Assyrians were manly, and so was Philip II , and they grew beards :clown:

I believe special operations and navy seals guys can grow beards. :book:
Also, is it a coincidence that America's military had many of its greatest generals when beards were in fashion? Sherman, Ulysses, Lee?

Yes, winters here are quite scary. Especially the last few years. Lots of snow, lots of cold, lots of .. well.. everything bad!
I was there during a New Years. The air was so cold, it felt like walking around in a needle-stack of invisible needles.
It was a very odd sensation.

I shave, only my face, like it clean for now but don't mind if there's a bit of a shade.
I think if I let it grow it would mostly be a goatee and mustache as well, there's a bit on the sides but probably not enough for a full beard.

lol, I actually remember reading a study that said that facial hair 'excites' women, if you know what I mean. So it does not matter what their preferences are, because there is something biological going on that is gonna make them prefer the 'real men'. :beam:

When they're ovulating, I think.
Beards are awesome. Until they get itchy (especially in summer), then it is shaving time.

I tried a goatee earlier this year, but my facial hair just has an odd color, sort of a dirty blond color to it that just struck me as off. So, for now, it stays shaved.

I've always shaved before I got any real growth. I could never do the dodgy mustache thing some teenagers do because for some reason my facial hair started at my chin and then down the sides.
One day I may grow a big ginger(ish) beard though...
Braid and post pics.
love to do so, but I first have to let my hair grow (I typically crop it to about 5/8 of an inch). then I have to let my bear grow.
but if all goes according to plan, I'll be a golden-haired verison of this guy:

I can grow a full beard. I do occasionally around this time a year if I'm not working nor have to look professional. I usually shave every couple days though.
I look like the guy in the spoiler when I have a beard, plus on the cheeks + shave the hair on top, but this dude had hair on side and back of his head!

I would if I could. I can only grow a weak moustache, scraggly sideburns and two very strange clumps at the side and bottom of my chin.

I've had the same beard since I turned 19. It has served me well, it's a little messy right now though. Probably should clean it up.

Sometimes I'll grow a goatee and mustache for a while. I don't get too much density, so I keep 'em trimmed short to avoid looking terrible. My facial hair's too patchy elsewhere to get anything to work. And on top of all that, the wife prefer's kissing me when I'm cleanshaven, so that's some good motivation to not grow it out too often. So does that put me at 'semi-man,' or just 'androgynous'?

lol, I will give you the 'man' rating. Just so you all know, you don't HAVE to have a beard to be a real man. You just need to want one and be able to grow it. Some people (me for instance) are not allowed beards in their line of work, so we are forced to shave them off.

If I glue on a beard can I be considered a real man?
I am a very hairy man, my chest has a beard, my arse has a beard, my back has a beard, but I shave my face for comfort. Does shaving my face make me less of a man? Does being fuzzed up all over like an Orang Utan make me a protected species?
I grew a fine beard last year whilst out camping, red and white streaks, very manly and fierce. While it was filthy with desert dust it was fine but the second I washed it the itching was unbearable, so I shaved it forthwith.
The secret to a happy beard is leave it dirty or rub some moisturiser into it. Or mash burgers into your chin and comb out the visible scraps.

You can't get a good seal on a gas mask if you have a beard. The grooming standards for the Shock Incarceration program are almost as high and tight as the military and applies to staff as well as inmates. Long hair provides one's opponent with a handle in a physical altercation.
