The Beard Thread

edited September 2011 in General
Rob and I were talking about beards the other day, which we often do, and we decided that the OB needs a thread dedicated to beards. Because after all, beards are awesome.

Here's what I'm sporting these days. My friend took this a few weeks ago at the Reggae Bar. (yes, China has Reggae Bars):

I go for the regular goatee. Simple, yet effective. It's very useful to stroke when you are pondering something, or plotting something evil. Plus, it adds a little extra age to my face, which I need when I'm on a business trip or something.

Bearded members of the OB, let's see what you got! Nonbearded members, commentary on what is good, bad, hot, desired, or whatever is welcome!

    Perhaps I will consider seeking a camera and contributing my weaksauce hobo-beard.

    Yeah, I'm gonna skip out on this one, despite the fact that I could say I TECHNICALLY have a beard.

    As most of you know, I am beardless by choice. I don't feel that my face supports a beard, particularly since I'm going for a sort of pretty boy with long hair look anyway.

    There's not enough beards in this thread. I just posted a picture of me recently, but this one shows off more of the beard.

    This was the least blurry.

    Oh my god. I cannot describe to you how happy this thread makes me.

    Can I post my photoshopped beard picture from my profile?

    EDIT: I just realized I have to make a new one for my short hair! Dangit...

    Ah, finally a thread for manly beards!

    Here, this is what I looked like for about 8 months, with a regular goatee:

    Recently, I grew tired of it and decided to shave... However, I didn't want to shave it all of at once, so I sported a horseshoe moustache during the weekend.

    Now I'm wearing a regular moustache, but I have no pictures yet!

    Since Ryan insists, yet I don't have a camera or anything remotely resembling a recent picture, I'll just repost my old picture from GDC 2 years ago:

    The style hasn't really changed, but at times it gets bushier and I get some hairs on my cheeks, but those are widely spaced and don't grow in very thick. I can't seem to grow a full beard because of that.

    I'm still not sure how to feel about that.

    As soon as I started dating Greg I made him grow a beard. It was mandatory.

    Ryan knew I shaved, that's why he made this thread. I'll post in a couple of weeks when i grow a new beard.

    You shaved??? Why would you do such a thing????

    Because SOME people here still have the dignity to look presentable and not walk around like ruffians with their face hair hanging out. REALLY.

    BTW, Scott, is that your bishie waifu?

    She doesn't look too happy to be sexually harassed.

    Sorry, everybody. We're celebrating my Mother's birthday tomorrow and my Grandmother's birthday next weekend, so I will not be able to start growing my beard until May 1st.

    EDIT: And I have to say, Ryan, shave that shit or don't put stuff in your hair. You are one creepy-looking mother fucker right now. You've just got a little of that I-might-rape-and-kill-you-then-re-rape-your-corps look going on. No offense.

    Says the man with hair going halfway down his back.

    You don't think facial hair looks respectable?

    I was kidding, actually... I was hoping the use of the word 'ruffian' would have given it away.

    But no, I'm totally cool with facial hair. Like any hair, I find it more visually appealing if it's well groomed, but even then I'm not really a huge fan. But some faces work better with facial hair than others. My face does not work with it.

    In the end, though, my own preferences don't really matter because I'm not sexually attracted to masculinity. So, problem solved!

    I don’t have a problem with beards in general although I do prefer smaller, more neatly trimmed beards over large unkempt ones.

    No, what bothers me is when a guy has a beard in 7th grade. Not a small patchy one either, this is a full blown monster latched on to the side of his face. He used to trim it when we were in 7th grade, but now in 9th he will do nothing of the sorts. That coupled with the fact that he is a giant makes him look like some creeper that snuck into a junior high and is trying to pass off for a student. We have tried begging him to shave or at least trim it, but he refuses to for some reason that I assume relates to some section of a guys ego.

    On the other hand, I know a guy that happens to look like a child molester when he doesn’t have a beard. It really just depends on the type of face you have and the kind of beard you go for.

    Huh. Well if he's a child and he likes the child molester then I guess there's no harm done, right?

    I'm thinking she meant "happens to look like" instead of "happens to like."

    That would make a lot more sense anyway.

    Unless she really meant the guy likes child molesters to not have beards or that when the guy has a beard he suddenly starts liking a child molester.
