Can I ask the guys out there a question?? What is with the full-bearded look these days? Honestly...the Grizzly Adams look is just not good, IMO. I sure hope this is a fad and men will start shaving again. Anyway...maybe it is just me and there are lots of women out there who love that look. No fun to kiss though, whether you like the look or not.
I’m sorry to hear about the separation agreement (((HUGS))).
With respect to the full-bearded look? Even I don’t understand it as a guy.
I tend to be pretty clean-shaven—today I didn’t have time to shave in the AM because I overslept, so I have a bit of stubble. That’s the most I would do—I think a day’s worth of stubble is a good look on me, but anything further past that gets to be much too much for me.
W has commented in the past about my trying out facial hair—she would want me to try it out, thinking that I could look good like that. It doesn’t really work for me, and I really don’t like it—I would think it would get itchy, hot, you run the risk of stuff accumulating in the beard, have to trim it to make it look ‘nice’....it doesn’t seem worth the effort for someone like me. Plus, I have a rather young-looking face as it is, so it doesn’t totally look right. I’d rather fully embrace the babyface, I guess. A co-worker yesterday said I look really young—I asked him how old do you think I am? He said 28–I’m 35, to be 36 in about 2 months.
I also guess for me the issue is with those who do the beard as some sort of reflection on manhood—I’m not saying everyone who does this believes this, but I’ve seen it mentioned elsewhere. Having a beard doesn’t make you more manly, necessarily.
