MrNate Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I've been thinking about this recently, and I've began to consider some chances to my style/facial hair. At 21, I usually wear a goatee as my perma-choice, but man, I must say it can make me look anywhere from 5-7 years older than I am. "A woman once told me happy father's day, on the holiday...:(" Now my brother, who is smoother, often tells me I can go to hell for having this choice (heh) and that I should keep it, but I'm wondering if perhaps the goatee is out, and maybe clean shaven is in? I don't really like being mistaken for my age, but I'll be honest..the goatee always did have a manly ring to it. But I guess the question is, is there a greater preference for either? I know everyone's answer will vary, but I just want to see what you guys think. Fellas feel free to chime in as well. What are your observations?
OrdealByFire Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I've found/heard that most like clean shaven or stubble.
MyNameIsJane Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 If I had to choose... clean shaven But a five'o'clock shadow or a little stubble is sexy.
OrdealByFire Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 It really depends on what you look like though. I mean take me for example. I look 14. If I were to leave stubble, I'd probably look like an idiot.
allina Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 It depends on the guy, different things look good on different people. In general I like both as long as it isn't that creepy goatee with that thin "chin strap" going up the jaw line. You can mix it up, if you shave it and don't like it just grown it back out.
SassyKitten Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Clean shaven! A little stubbly is okay too though. Exactly!
Author MrNate Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 So clean shaven seems to be a big choice. I think I will consider it, since my hair grows back extremely fast any way. Any other opinions?
brainygirl Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I tell my brothers that beards are for ugly men. Seriously, I like a man clean shaven. Genuine five o'clock shadow is ok, but those half assed beards that look like five o'clock are moronic.
Author MrNate Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 Man, i have been out of the loop here..lol I really thought the rugged look would be more in, but of course things can seem that way when you only look at the male side.. Lol. I think I might give it a shot. I never really thought many ladies dug the smooth look, ha. I may get rid of it tonight and try it out. Any other opinions?
GorillaTheater Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Any other opinions? Yeah, do what you want. I have a closely-trimmed beard. Because I like it. Even if it is getting kind of gray...
USMCHokie Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Ke$ha likes beards. Or try the David Villa (Spanish soccer star) flavor saver: http://www.topnews.in/sports/files/david-villa111.jpg
SassyKitten Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I'm not a huge fan of the flavor saver, or any facial hair really, especially the mustache! I don't like feeling like I'm making out with a Brillo pad.

I don't like feeling like I'm making out with a Brillo pad. Lol. . Good point though. I think I might try and rock the clean shaven if sassy likes it.
USMCHokie Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Lol. . Good point though. I think I might try and rock the clean shaven if sassy likes it. A good choice.
TuesGirl Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Clean! I always think that goatee's are hiding a double chin, plus, yea, that kissing thing...
Author MrNate Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 Man I seriously didn't think it was this popular. I've been under a rock or something.. Ha
spookie Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Goatees and mustaches are creepy. Stubble is cute but it irritates the s!ht out of my skin.
skydiveaddict Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Date a military man. we must be clean shaven all the time

nikayla Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Am I the only one who finds goatee's sexy?! They give off an aura of maturity. Then again, my boyfriend's also in the military, so it's clean shaven for now. :[

Author MrNate Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 Ah now we have a difference of opinion lol. I figured some women found them sexy but I figure I might give the clean shaven a go. Plus it'll help a ton with maintenance ha. I've rocked the goatee for years so I think I'll give this a spin.
