Poll: Beardliness

[New Frontiersman]

I don't have a beard, I don't really like them that much so I try to keep myself clean shaven. I don't mind if other men have beards if that's what they like but it's not my thing. You really have to have the face for it though. My Dad has a beard as do a few of my friends, and I think my dad looks good in it.

One thing I really don't think looks very good is a neckbeard. It just looks odd. Also if your going to get facial hair, keep it well maintained otherwise you just look like a hobo.

 

[BristolBerserker]

Beard without a doubt.

 

[Jedoro]

Beardless, but I don't shave against the grain because I love my five o'clock shadow.

 

[DanielBrown]

Beard.
Sporting a fail goatee and mighty side burns myself!

 

[kebab4you]

Going to say just because I look 100% more douche with a beard then without.

 

[KarlMonster]

Shaving makes me look 20 years younger. No lie. Too bad I frikkin' hate shaving.

But the wimmens like me clean, fresh and young-looking.

Edit: @Kebab - I will see your douche sir, and raise you a pair of hairy ears.
... well, maybe I'm a troll?

It depends on the lady. My wife looks lovely with her beard, but my aunt...Oh, wait, I misread the OP. Sorry.

 

[crudus]

I am rocking the goatee. All of the people I have polled say I look bitchin' with the beard.

Here is why having a beard is win:
1. When you become a man, you grow facial hair. It is supposed to be on your face when you become a man. How much you have, is entirely your choice.
2. Thor has a beard. If its good enough for the God of Thunder, its good enough for me.
3. I look 5 years younger without my beard. I hate looking like a 16 year old retarded kid.

And that is why beards are ftw.
Whether you have a tiny bit of stubble, or the Gandalf beard, facial hair is FTW.

I am fully bearded throughout most of the year, in the summer months I shave down to a horseshoe moustache, as I have found that a full beard in the heat is quite uncomfortable.

 

[Jadak]

As a man, a beard is manly and all powerful. But from my experience with woman, clean shaven is more often preferred so bye bye beard.

 

[The Virgo]

Facial hair rules. Now, although this isn't technically a beard, but rather a mustache, this doesn't really count, but I would just like to say that the "friendly mutton-chop mustache" is the most bad-ass motherfuckin' thing you can have on your face.

NOTE: This isn't me. I just found this pic on the internet.

Spoiler: Behold ...

Tell me that isn't fucking amazing.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Beards are only worth having unless they are properly maintained. If this cannot be achieved, then shaving is a must.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

I'm trying to grow something of a goatee, but my facial hair is just way too light. However the hair atop my head has now decided it wants to be a dirty blond colour whilst my facial hair is adamant to remain Milky Bar Kid white.

Forunately my woman likes a little scruff.

I currently have a thick beard, but that is mostly from the plumbing in my house being six kinds of fucked at the moment. Generally I like to keep it short to hide the grey hairs. I definitely get more salt when the beard gets longer. As for shaving, yeah that is a pain in the arse I don't miss.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

I do love a good beard. I'm incapable of growing one myself (it grows very sparse on my cheeks), so I stick to a moustache/goatee combo (think Orlando Bloom in almost every movie he's ever been in).

I really love a good moustache though. I believe that a mans manliness can be measured by how epic a moustache he grows.

Spoiler: By that logic, Sam Elliot is God

 

[pearcinator]

Unfortunately, beards are deemed 'unprofessional' in my line of work (primary school teacher) and my face must be clean shaved or I get in trouble.

 

[Mistermixmaster]

I dunno what women prefer, but I find myself keeping a Perma Stubble [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PermaStubble] A full on beard makes me look like I'm in my 50's, while going clean-shaven makes me look like I'm 16 (to paraphrase a female friend of mine).

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

A beard is fun to have sometimes, but I prefer to be clean shaven.
