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

    I see we have some jealous hairless youths among us.

    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.

    don't be a *****-men should always have good looking beards/facial hair, when possible under cultural and physical limitations.


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

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

    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.

    And of course........ ronald reagan

    People who did have facial hair
    Hitler
    Stalin
    Fidel castro
    Lenin
    Rasputin
    Not john wayne

    I rest my case

    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?

    Exactly the reason why I have it during winter moths!

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

    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...

    Maybe, but do you want to know what really excites women? I mean, gets them so crazy aroused that they can't control their urges?
