Now...I need some advice. My family has been whining lately about not having any recent pictures of your's truely. Since it's christmas time, they have decided for me that now is the time. The ultimate question put before me is: goatee or clean shaven?

Here are two pictures from last year with the different options:

well i say you look cooler with the goatee, but the babe in the second pic sways my judgement slightly... cos i'm not looking at you ;)

The clean-shaven look is far better for you -all the proof you need: do you have a pretty girl next to you in the other one?
No but really, I liked the second one better.

Same here. Though I suggest a little more than just a "chin guard" goatee. Let a little hair grow up an inch or so, particularly on the sides. At least that's what I do; I think it makes my chin look better, but that's personal preference.

Personally, without the beard you look like you haven't got all the way through puberty. So uh....you decide.

considering the fact that the one with the Goatee is you by yourself, while the clean shaven one you have a great looking gal at your side...

I think you already made your choice. ;)




I, myself, chose Clean Shaven.

The way I see it is you wanted us to go for clean shaven by providing eye candy... Even if it was eye candy...

I asked my previous girlfriend something along the same lings, just not picture or Christmas. She said something like "Facial hair makes guys look older and clean shaven makes them look like they belong in Middle School. If we wanted to date Middle schoolers we would have become teachers and drive our little brothers/sisters to school more."

I'm gonna have to say it doesn't matter... it depends on what you're going for. Tthe goatee makes you look older, so if your parents tend to treat you like a kid and you want more repsect, you might go with that, but if you want to ask for money, go with none.

And personally, I think the chin fuzz goatees look stupid anyway. If you're gonna grow facial fur, grow facial fur for real.

Priorities man, priorities! Who cares about beard when you have that hair? You should grow it long, at least shoulder length. But then, that's what I say to every guy out there.

Beard is better, but there ought to be more of it. And a moustache to go with it.

Yes well, a full beard ought to be reserved for people over 40 who want to look even older and scruffier. But you could go with a moustache and front-of-chin goatee if you can grow it. Or just a whole chin-tip thing... not just the bottom. And go for more than 1/8 inch.

Unless you're asking for money. Which in college... I know I'd have been asking for money... :cool:

Oh god no. I'm not going to post any picture of it, for in doing so I'd destroy any sense of pride I have, but I had some horrible hair throughout junior high.

I got the "grow your hair long" bug before it was the big fad that it is now, or was a year or so ago, and so I got it almost down to my shoulders, before realizing that I do not, in any way, shape, or form, have the hair for it. My hair is kind of coarse but very thick, and while I know I'm not going to go bald, I also know that long hair just isn't for me.

Well tell her that it's kind of odd that in the same breath that she calls me cute or hott she says I look like her brother...

But currently my bigger concern is how I look like two people now from where ever it is you live.

Great smile :) Your happiness shows in your eyes too. I picked clean shaven. The goatee was so small and short it just looked like you missed it while shaving, but maybe thats because when I think of a goatee I'm actually thinking of a "chop". Facial hair or no facial hair, you still look nice.

Preferably a bigger goatee. If that is not possible, clean shaven.

Wow...that's really nice. Haha...thanks. :D

Bigger as in longer or bigger as in taking up more area? I can make the sides come up or have it cover the whole chin or whatnot (I guess theoretically I could grow a full beard) but I really wouldn't want the hair itself to get much longer. I hate long beards and goatees.

Goatee. gets you more girls. But I would say let it grow up a bit towards your lip.

Also, my (female) friend says, and I quote, "He's hot. I'd bang him"

So maybe, while goatee has a 53.42% majority...I should ask a slightly altered question:

What is your reasoning for choosing the option in which you did? Do you just like clean-shaven guys or bearded guys in general? Does it fit my face better? Do you simply want to "bang" me? Lol.

Goatees are badass. But being cleanshaven is alright too. In the end, its up to you and how much work you want to do every morning at the sink. Personally I prefer being cleanshaven.

Lol.My reasoning is as follows: 1) The goatee isn't big enough to have a dramatic effect on the way you look. It merely looks like a silly little caterpillar. This is foolish. 2) You have a nice face as it is. .:. Why obscure it with a strange growth?
And yes.

mmk, I voted for goatee, it wasn't for any particular reason other than I thought it looked better... and I'm not biased toward guys with goatee's either, infact before looking at the pictures I was quite determined to vote clean shaven...

I was just wondering if the goatee would give me more of a defined chin...since my entire jawline is rather...um...not weak...but...not necessarily strong.

goatee definatly defines your jaw alot...I shaved mine off (and I have a similar jaw line) and was like...wow. where'd my chin go?

Go for the goatee but grow it higher up on your chin, just below where the rise from your lower lip meets your chin. Try to keep it trimmed but full.

To be honest you look like a kid clean shaven... I had the exact same problem in my late teens and early twenties.
