    Simple Question, Beards, YaY or Nay

    Feel free to elaborate with your responses such as why you feel the way you do about beards.


    For me, I love my beard, I think it looks good on me. And I think as long as the beard is well kept and maintained, beards are great, unless your profession is not beard friendly such as Firefighters, or Chefs(i hate getting hair in my food).
    Scrapbot Was Here.
    I was asked a simple question in school today; 3 men walk into a bar, 1 orders a Margarita, 1 orders a Screwdriver, and the third orders the largest glass of Guinness he could get. Which on is gay?
    My answer: The one who bought the Guinness because he gave it to me.
    my teacher looked at my answer and laughed. i got bonus points because of it.

    Beards look good on some people, not good on others. And it depends on how well you maintain it, too.

    Depends on the person, A thin straggly beard or a hobo beard never looks good, a well trimmed beard can look good though.

    This pretty much. Some people just shouldn't have facial hair, other people it seems like they are destined to have it.

    It's not a case of Yay or Nay - they can be good, they can be bad, it all depends on the person and the type of beard.

    That being said though, when beards are good, they're decent. But when they're bad, they're absolutely hideous, so on balance...if I had to choose, I go for 'Nay'.

    This is entirely my opinion though - people may think they look amazing when done well.

    Depends on the person. Some people look awesome in beard and some just look ridiculous.

    I'm biased here, but I say yay depending on how you look. And the only way to find out is to start one up.

    And be patient. You're (well not you in particular, OP, since you stated you already have one) going to go from stubble, to small beard, to "OMG my face is itchy and I look homeless" scraggly beard, to bearded epicness the first time around (if you can grow a beard at all that is). It was so hard for me to push through that scraggly phase when I decided to grow mine.

    Oh and as for chefs not having beards, I think you'll get a kick out of this. Yes, I've had to wear something like this before at an old job. It's silly but it works!

    I wouldn't want a beard. Well, I couldn't. So it doesn't really matter. But I think beards on guys who actually can grow facial hair can look great.

    In a area of the world where it gets well into the bellow freezing mark in the winter, having a beard is the greatest thing ever. In the summer its nice to shave it off though to help keep cooler.

    Fashion wise, like most others said it really depends on the person. Some people can grow a nice full beard, while others only ever get in patchy scraggly looking things.

    Beard for me, because clean-shaven just doesn't work with how fast my facial hair grows. I get a 5 o'clock shadow by noon.

    Trimmed is what I find the most appealing. Shaved is good too, especially if you can notice a little of the little hairs.

    I get carded for rated r movies when I'm cleanshaven so I always run with something. That and glasses require accompanying facial hair.

    I have had mine for so long now, for someone to ask me to shave it off would be like someone asking you to shave off your eyebrows. It is as much a part of me as the hair on my head is. I have known some who look a lot better with a bread than without one and some who look bad with one. Depends I guess on how it is kept and the shape of the person's face.
