Should I grow a goatee?

Branin

I have reached a crucial junction in my life. I have reached the point at which I must decide what form of facial hair (if any) I will sport for the next couple of weeks. I am currently working on a goatee. The people I interact with off of the net are split 2-2, so I am coming here for opinions (probably a stupid idea)

Goatee, or Notea

I would say: no goatee.

Yeah, it's a stupid idea... damn, you're stupid. Etc.

Well, if you can grow one which isn't really patchy, I would recommend that you try it out. You can always shave it off.

Goatees are so 90's... but it does look good on some people. Try it out.

Grow sideburns a little lower than your ears and keep it the same width all the way down. Keep the mustache, beard, goatee, etc clean though. It makes you look old.

So I'm kinda old but not too old. When I graduated High School I got into beat literature and was already into jazz, so on a lark I grew a goatee to match Herb Caen's caracature of the beats. At the time people went-"Dude, where's the rest of your beard?" Then Seatle started hemeroging bands and all of a sudden every little scrapper was running around with a goatee. Little bastards. So I thought I'd try the goatee that Mathew Brodrick had in Glory. I screwed it up and wound up with Uncle Sam's beard instead. But then, as investment bankers started having goatees, a bunch of those scrappers started growing more complex beards and again I was in a crowd. So I died mine green. And did the Salvador Dali thing with my 'stache. By then I was putting way too much time into my facial hair and gave it all up. So I still have my Uncle Sam goat and a Fu Manchu (because thats what happens when you stop putting it up) and silently hate the posers, but realise that it doesn't really matter.

On the plus side, everyone recognizes me which is good for what I do.

So-one side says "NO!!! POSER!!! Enough with the facial hair, leave it for the real." The other says do what you want.

The ladies love a little scruff on the chin. Frankly though, you need to untuck your shirt.

Chicken,

I would tell you to google the word, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Goatse is a reference to a now dead homosexual who posted pics of his uncanny ability to stretch his rectum to hitherto unheard of sizes.
It's the kind of web stuff that you will want to shower after you view. :eek:

In fact, having thought about it, I think I need a shower.

As far as beards: I agree with the view that says if you can grow a real one, do so. Don't do the patchy thing, it looks lazy, not bohemian.

So I polled the hot chick at my work who is indifferent to my three inch glory (eh? Ever think you'd hear a dude say that?........I am talking about my goatee........s-shutup) and she feels that you aren't a goatee person but was suprised at how good 1 and 2 looked.

Having now seen your picture-you are not a scruffy. Thats pretty clear. So to me, and this is just me though I know there are others out there like me (mostly other scruffies), a goatee would make you seem kinda like a square trying to convince himself he's cool. Here's the important thing-without the goatee you do not neccisarily come off as a square (though the tucked in shirt doesn't help)(a thick neck, maybe-but there would have to be other factors for a final analysis), I would only get that impression from the forced affectation of the beard.

So-unless of course you go for number 5, which I would totally respect you if you did-I'd have to say no goatee.

First off, I am the ugliest person here, far and away. None of you can ever hope to beat me. Once I get a recent picture of myself, I will show it to you.

Second off, I would say you should grow a goatee. I myself have a goatee and have had facial hair since high school; frankly I can't picture myself without facial hair of some sort. I also notice I can get away with not shaving longer than if I didn't have facial hair...though it was even nicer when I had a full beard; I could go days without shaving.

Well, it's true up til a point. Like if you've never shaved, and you're growing from that, it'll grow really really slow. But the effect of magnifying growth rate seems to stop somewhere, I guess.

Beats me. And no, not in the sense of the paper is for beating me with.
At least I hope not.
Ha. Nope. I'll probably use it for scratch.
Well, it's true up til a point. Like if you've never shaved, and you're growing from that, it'll grow really really slow. But the effect of magnifying growth rate seems to stop somewhere, I guess.
So, if I shaved every day, then what?

Dude, you still have all your hair-I started losing mine when I was your age. And yet, whats left is long and straggly. And thin.

We've already covered three inch long goatee and the fu manchu. On a big ol' cracker. My eyes are sunken and almost always pretty dark, giving the impression that my eyeballs reside somewhere in the middle of my head.

I don't have shoulders so much as I have arms that spring from my neck.

You two are average looking. Mothers grab thier children in my presence (though children love me), people in cars lock their door when I drive by. My knickname is walrus.

Actually mine is begging to thin. I just had a whole hell of a lot to begin with so it doesj't show much. But if my horrendous looks aren't enough to win an ugly contest, my abbrasive personality will:D.

Anyway, should I grow a goatee?

No, you are not a scruffy. A goatee will make you appear like a square trying to cover. Without the goat you do not neccisarily look like a square, but a goat would give you away. (Re-iterating earlier post)

You might as well try it out. You really have nothing to lose. I mean, if it doesn't work out you can just shave it off, but on the other hand, if it turns out that a goatee would look good on you on you don't try it, you'll never know.

Previous to the last year I'd sported a goatee for aproximately 3 years, and I loved having on.

My answer to you would ask one question. Do you have a job? During my first year at university, I found it extremely difficult to get a job while having one, yet as soon as I got rid of it and applied to a few places, I had more offers than I knew what to do with.

Having said that, I still grow it back every opportunity I get.

So basically, if you have nothing to lose, go for it, try it out, if you don't like it you can always get rid of it.

Shave it. Go chrome, then the goatee wouldn't look so out of place.

So I'm kinda old but not too old. When I graduated High School I got into beat literature and was already into jazz, so on a lark I grew a goatee to match Herb Caen's caracature of the beats. At the time people went-"Dude, where's the rest of your beard?" Then Seatle started hemeroging bands and all of a sudden every little scrapper was running around with a goatee. Little bastards. So I thought I'd try the goatee that Mathew Brodrick had in Glory. I screwed it up and wound up with Uncle Sam's beard instead. But then, as investment bankers started having goatees, a bunch of those scrappers started growing more complex beards and again I was in a crowd. So I died mine green. And did the Salvador Dali thing with my 'stache. By then I was putting way too much time into my facial hair and gave it all up. So I still have my Uncle Sam goat and a Fu Manchu (because thats what happens when you stop putting it up) and silently hate the posers, but realise that it doesn't really matter.

On the plus side, everyone recognizes me which is good for what I do.

So-one side says "NO!!! POSER!!! Enough with the facial hair, leave it for the real." The other says do what you want.
