Not icky at all

Huh....is is the general opinion that the above is true? I hadn't really thought of it. Wondering if it's an age thing(?) I used the pic of Hill as example of a nice blue suit on a middle-aged guy, etc.. it was less about him, per se'..but he doesn't seem to be a bad looking man. I have also seen him over the years in long hair and a full beard. My incomplete sense of Hill is that he is a somewhat shy and private man, and perhaps that explains the facial hair, etc... Another pic below...just by way of me asking the forum population about facial hair....so really...it's a no-go? I see plenty of apparently bona fide cyclists sporting one...most whom look to be under 35. Weird new territory for me...asking other men about crap like this. Perskinal Growth, Ho!

See, that's the thing, whenever you see someone that looks good with a goatee, they almost certainly look good inspite of the goatee. The same way that lookbooks full of weird ass clothes look good - they look good because the guys wearing them are tall and in great shape. Here's the results in Google Images. Scroll through, and think about which ones you think look good. Now, imagine Brad Pitt and DeCrapio with no facial hair or a beard. Better huh? Since most of us aren't as handsome as giant movie stars, we're probably better off going all out either way (beard or clean). On most people it just looks lazy, like you are willing to shave the easy parts, but can't be troubled with the fiddly bits.

I think you're on to something, but imo Evil Spock looks better because of the goatee.

Sometimes a goatee looks good. Sometimes it just makes your face look like a dog's ass.

I would never wear anything on my face that is commonly referred to as a "prison pussy."

But maybe that's just me.

This saying mixed with "hair is the body's tupperware" gives me bad thoughts.
