Men of DU: Do you look absurd with a beard?

[Robb]

Well, I seem to. Day Four, and I'm starting to suspect the worst.

How about you?

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Robb is a dingbat...oh no wait, sorry. My husband has a beard

and I find it quite attractive. He shaves it off every once in awhile and it's almost like getting a new husband! Try it out....let it grow. :hi:

[AnAmerican]

2. Yes, without a doubt...

which is why I shaved it off years ago.

[Jack_Dawson]

3. I look good w/ anything

:beer:

[terrya]

4. I look quite fetching with a beard. But it's too much bother....

to take care of.

Hang in there a couple more days, Robb.

Terry

5. I look absurd without a beard.

Shaved mine off last fall after 28 years. Starting to regret it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. I was going to add in my post that when my husband shaves his

he looks like such a babyface and I feel as if I have robbed the cradle. :hi:

[retread]

37. Is that a complaint??

[KensPen]

6. Is this about facial hair.....

or obviously gay men who try to pass off a woman friend as a date.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

7. i find the opposite

i sport a beard all the time. when i shave it off i feel like baby-face-no-chin-man.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

9. I like my beard....

but it was a hassle to upkeep. So I went with the goatee (original, huh).

[Exultant Democracy]

10. No, I look real good

I'm on day 10 with mine, but I never get much past that because it starts to itch me something fierce. I do on the other hand usually keep my soul patch intact.

[Pale Blue Dot]

11. I just grew one.

Mainly in a vain attempt to cover up some weight gain.

My wife laughed at me, my boss's assistant says it makes me look "rugged".

I can't decide whether I'll keep it or just try to lose some *@)&# weight.

[Sagan]

12. Excuse ME?

Of course I don't. I've had a beard since I was a senior in High School. Made it easy to buy beer then, too. :)

[SOteric]

13. Of course they don't.

The men of DU are all dreamy. With or without the beards.

:loveya:

[MrMonk]

14. I look absurd either way

so I'm keeping the beard.

[TacticalPeek]

15. Goes great with soup.

[Endangered Specie]

16. I would look awful

And I couldn't stand it.

[DS1]

17. Why don't you ask Tom Cruise?

I think I look pretty good with mine :7

[Whitacre D_WI]

18. Hell, no!

I look like a Greek God!

[eyesroll]

26. Or a nineteenth-century president. Or a 1970s baseball player.

Or, in the case of that photo at the Neumann office that made the AP wire, a "damn hippie, how's anyone going to take you seriously."

[Whitacre D_WI]

32. Oh, THAT photo doesn't exist anymore.

Does it?

[eyesroll]

33. Somewhere, I'm sure...

I don't have a copy of it, though.

[Kellanved]

19. yes

It can't decide whatever it wants to be red, blond or even light brown. So no beard for Kel.

[leftofthedial]

20. yes. totally.

and I've had one for 15 years.

[Osiris]

21. Man...it takes me a week to grow a 5 o'clock shadow...

and I'm almost 22. :(

I wouldn't know what I would look like if I had a beard.

[rexcat]

22. I have had a beard since 1979

except for one week in 1980. It takes about a month for my beard to really come in and look good. I currenlty trim the thing every two weeks. Have patience. Give it some more time. If you don't like it after a month then cut it off!!!!!

My wife likes my beard. I have had thoughts over the years to cut it off but she protests too much so I have not cut it off. She has only seen me once without it and that was when I cut it off in 1980.

[On the Road]

23. I Look ABUSED with a Beard

I look absurd without a moustache. Been over 20 years now.

[nostamj]

24. well, I don't think so.................

[xcentrik]

25. No, but...

after the damn thing turned white (when I turned 44), I shaved it off rather than resorting to "Grecian Formula"

[nostamj]

27. bah! i went grey/white in my early 30s

only colored it once.... and that made me look ridiculous!

(ok, twice, but that was for a part in a play)

[Buns_of_Fire]

28. I shaved mine off once, when my daughter was five

She took one look and started crying. I can take a hint. I started growing it back the next day, and have had one ever since.

Besides, without a beard, I look like a walking, talking fetus. :shrug:

[camero]

29. I either look like Charles Manson or Jesus

Depending on who I talk to.

[Dees]

30. This beard has worn me for 33 years. I think it's OK.

And, I'm not even bald.

[Cat Atomic]

31. I look great with a beard. I even turn MYSELF on.

.

[FarLeftRage]

34. Have mine for a month now

It's starting to look real nice.

Although I may look "foreign" with it, I like having one...

[Skittles]

35. WILL IT BE A GOATEE ?

I'LL KICK YOUR ASS; NO GUY LOOKS GOOD IN A GOATEE.

[THUNDER HANDS]

36. I think I look pretty good

But I have black hair, guys with black hair look better with facial hair.

[Hubert Flottz]

38. What the Hell is wrong with the absurd look?

Bush has the absurd look and he are the pResident! Besides, one cannot be a proper Hillbilly without a proper Hillbilly beard!

[BritishHuman]

39. I can't remember what I look like without one.

Well, I can vaguely. I just prefer me with beard, even if it does itch occasionally.
