Are you a real man?

[Fragony]

I can only grow the fuzzy stuff

[Martok]

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.

[Azathoth]

I just realized: I could go for the assyrian/ancient arabian look. all beard lovers in favor say "Aye".

Braid and post pics.

As well a list of greats with no facial hair.
John wayne
Alexander the great
Julius caesar
Winston churchill
George washington
Nelson mandela
Ghandi

Alexander the Great had sideburns.

I suppose now there'll be a debate on whether or not they count as facial hair?

[Ibrahim]

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 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.

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

I believe special operations and navy seals guys can grow beards.

Also, is it a coincidence that America's military had many of its greatest generals when beards were in fashion? Sherman, Ulysses, Lee?

Bah I say to your assertion, a thousand times bah!

You say some women prefer it. Do you also hold their purses when you go shopping with them?

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.

Exactly the reason why I have it during winter moths!

4-5 years ago there was a period where I looked like him with my beard.

Must be some really scarey Winter Moths in Estonia if they can attacking you with Blustering Wind. Sounds like real life pokemon.

Yes, winters here are quite scary. Especially the last few years. Lots of snow, lots of cold, lots of .. well.. everything bad!

[Beskar]

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.

There is a *ahum* huge difference between looking like Rasputin and BEING like Rasputin http://motherboards.infopop.cc/group...putin-cock.jpg

[Husar]

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.

[Lemur]

Must. Share. Pics.

[Hooahguy]

i can grow a full-on beard, but girls dont seem to like it so i shave.
but if we are judging a man by beard capability, then I AM A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ice]

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.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

A beard is for........ ugly people.

[ajaxfetish]

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'?

What I don't understand is how all you bearded cavemen manage to apply your facial lotion and moisturizer with all that hair getting in the way?

[Azathoth]

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'.

When they're ovulating, I think.

[naut]

Beards are awesome. Until they get itchy (especially in summer), then it is shaving time.

[Vuk]

Heard that. Also baldness supposedly affects them the same way, for the supposedly same reason. Since I'm bald already and have to fight them off with a stick, growing a beard would be pointless in my case...

lol, you and me both pal.

I don't understand that. My beard never gets itchy in the summer.

Psycho lives in austrailia you live in Pennsylvania. Its really hot down there in summer

Indeed. And a real man doesn't just shave his beard I might add.

Fragony, you girly man! The only thing that a real man is allowed to shave is his head!

[Cute Wolf]

I'm a man with long wavy hair, clean face, and some who first saw my face (my face alone), will think that I was a girl...

but I was still a man, I'm fairly muscular afterall...

My sister is more muscular than you, and she's super-feminine. But it might be a regional thing?

[Subotan]

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.

Facial hair is for savages. Civilized men prefer to groom themselves, plus the majority of women prefer cleanshaven men

Bah, women just dislike men who have messy/dirty beards. That's why the Hollywood stubble look never works outside of Hollywood.

I do like the list though.

That explains so much

[Monk]

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.
