Title: Growing a Beard
Post by: Roger Bacon on January 08, 2012, 06:09:53 PM
What do I do in the period between being clean shaven, and having a decent looking beard?  For a while I just look like a hippy or lazy bum while it all comes in.


Any solutions?

It itches so bad I have very thick facial growth. I can't take it for more than 3 days. I feel like it makes the fat under my chin look way worse to. Gives me a double chin almost. I have a chubbier face.

in my opinion, and i think most womens, facial hair looks best when its shorter. straight guys will respect you for a long beard, like straight women are friendlier to girls with long pony tails. its an exaggeration of your gender in a way that isnt very attractive to the other gender but makes you approachable to your own.

women like tough men, and most appreciate good looking facial hair, but long beards tend to just make a guy look.. bad.  girls who dress up and style themselves as innocent and girly, like short skirts and reading glasses, are appealing.. but long pony tails just make them look way too innocent, like theyre a virgin and waiting for marriage.  

im generalizing a shit load, but i think its fairly accurate; if your worried about the inbetween period, dont be, most people will like the way it looks.

except for you no sleep, mustaches look absolutely horrible during the in-between stage. and even when they are full grown too.  ;D

From Clean Shave: Shave fast growing areas first, to let slow growing areas to catch up, once you're happy with the consistency of depth, trim as desired with good pair of clippers, I love growing a beard, I do it at random times, no rhyme or reason, just something I do, because women cant, and it makes me feel more masculine.  I always shave for the Judge though.  ;D

Beards tend to look shittiest when the hairs are very different lengths.  The problem for most guys is that the hair between the sideburns and goatee is not as "mature" as the rest of the face often taking longer to grow and being lighter in color.  I've found the best way to deal with this is to rock a perpetual 5 o'clock shadow for a couple weeks.  What I do is I use a beard trimmeron its lowest setting and shave with it for a week, maybe two.  Then I take it up to the next lowest setting and do the same thing.  At this point its a good idea to shape it by clean shaving from your jawline or Adam's Apple down (depending on leaness and face shape).  Also clean shave any stray hairs above it to avoid the wolfman look.  For guys with thick beards (the hair folicles are close together) and guys with very short haircuts, this is a good beard length to stay at.  For guys with more patchy beards, goto the next setting on the trimmer.  If you have spaces and gaps still, shape your beard to eliminate them.  A narrow, but symmetrical beard will look better than a bigger, but patchy beard anyday.  Hair dye will also make a beard look fuller and neater, but only go slightly darker than the hair on your head.  If all of this doesn't work, just wait....you'll hit puberty someday.  LOL

Beards look horrible on guys for the most part, but like Tbombz said guys will respect you for it...how can you not respect a guy who doesn't give a fuck what he looks like? ;D being Clean shaven makes you look like a jackass, the prettier you are the more guys wil hate on you...and the more girls will be turned off by it imo. Most women do not prefer a clean shaven face, from an evolutionary point of view as it signals lack of sexual maturity. Stubble is ideal..best of both worlds. .

You're not far wrong. When I recently grew mine, guys were treating me like some inspirational mafucker. As soon as I lopped the thing off and just left the old D'artagnan all my female colleagues were orientating themselves around me...and the dudes were like "wtf did you get rid of it for!??"

No they don't.  I don't mind some stubble, but beards are just dirty and hide a mans face.  I really honestly have never dated a man with a beard.  I think they are gross and are a huge turn off.

What woman wants to kiss a man with a pubic hairy bush all over his face.  That's what I compare it to.  Even when Brad Pitt grew that disgusting beard, I thought he looked very unattractive.  So if Brad Pitt looks bad with a beard imagine how bad all other men look.

Growing a beard does negatively affect a man's P.P.P. (Pussy Pulling Potential)
you get that scratchy stage, and even if trimmed, one tends to have a homeless, or shifty look to you...now, if you get it like Steve Reeves or Teddy Pendagrass, you are set...
