Goatees. Love 'em or hate'em?

[Maddy McCall]

Do you find them attractive or have they gone the way of the mullet?

[mzmolly]

1. Depends on the goat.

;)

[all.of.me]

65. i agree

after looking at all these photos, some look ok, some don't. i am partial to facial hair, though. l-o-v-e it!

[notadmblnd]

2. the ones with no mustache's really creeps me out.

I could deal with all in these pics, but the men who wear goatees with no mustache.... what the hell are they thinking?

[imenja]

16. they're going for the Amish look

:wtf:

[Hatalles]

31. Really?

Do you mean the soul patch style (just a touch on the chin) or this style (not sure what to call it)...

[notadmblnd]

33. the ones that grow out from their bottom lips

and just cover the middle of their chins..... it's just yuck!

[ashmanonar]

69. hey now!

i wear a goatee without mustache, and it looks perfectly natural on me

:P

[LiberalEsto]

3. They're repulsive, at least to me

and they look so 2004.

Mustaches I like, if they're not messy.

[khashka]

8. I love soup strainers

The messier the better!

Mine would probably make you faint.


Khash.

[LiberalEsto]

19. My husband has one.

Refuses to trim it. Yuck.

[fluffernutter]

4. on certain guys they can be hot.

on others ... not. i do think they are getting kind of old.

[smbolisnch]

5. Depends on the man!

My husband has one which I happen to really like! ;)

[khashka]

6. Love 'em

Well, I've got one and I ain't shavin' it off. And I've got a major thang for guys with facial hair.

So I guess I'm biased two ways. But you know what my vote is....

Khash.

[Cuban_Liberal]

7. Guess.

;)

[Maddy McCall]

9. Yummy!

But I call that a beard. It's a classic, so you're safe. :D

(Do you have a headful of ringlets? Double yum! :D )

[Cuban_Liberal]

12. Yes, I'm wavy/curly.

:)

[boilerbabe]

63. Maybe you can give me some tips on how to keep my beard up??

[Amaya]

10. Depends on the guy

[boilerbabe]

64. Am asking that Cuban Boy for tips

I will let you know...you aren't old enough to have like those stray hairs, but if you really need some info, like in 10 years..haha

XXXOOO
the boilerbabe

[Amaya]

73. hey you!

how you been? :hi:

[Beaverhausen]

11. I like them

My honey has one so I have to say that.

[Cannikin]

13. Ignore the hair. I had a mid-life crisis.

Which is least scary?

[Beaverhausen]

17. I like it on you

Do you still have it?

[Cannikin]

18. I have the goat, but not the blonde. It was bad...bad bad.

[samplegirl]

37. Keep it

It looks good.

[tjwmason]

52. Neither's scary

I'm not a facial hair fan, and do prefer the picture on the left (need to fan myself after seeing it); but your goatee works well and fits with your face.

[imenja]

14. Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate them

especially when they are scraggly, like most men wear them. :puke:

They need to make up their minds: either grow a full beard or shave. None of this half way stuff.

[Wickerman]

15. Gaining on the mullet

but, what the hell do I know, I wear the full beard.

[Squeegee]

20. Depends...

On some it looks really hot. On many, it's definitely not.

Anyway, I think the fad has passed. In 15 years, we'll look back and chuckle about them.

[Bouncy Ball]

21. Depends on the guy, really.

On Mr. Bouncy it looks fantastic, very sexy. Just full enough, but not like a wig or something.

I've seen it look like crap on some guys, though.

[Xithras]

22. My wife finally made me shave mine off.

She liked it when I was younger, but says that they only suit younger guys with narrow faces. Since I'm neither young nor narrow nowadays, the Van Dyke was replaced with a facial Brazilian :)

[Technowitch]

23. Mullet, IMHO

They're just too damned common anymore.

[GOPisEvil]

24. You make the choice:

With:


Without:

[samplegirl]

38. With

You look great with it.

[GOPisEvil]

55. I have considered growing it back.

I will take your opinions under advisement. Thanks.

[GalleryGod]

50. With ,Dave!

:woohoo: definitely, with!

Your man in the faculty lounge:hangover:
Feelin' Loopy,
GG:silly:

[Ivan Sputnik]

25. I like mine

and people have told me they like it (unprompted). I think they look best when kept very short and on guys who are trim.

[BikeWriter]

26. I have a goatee, plus sixteen or eighteen inches.

[Hatalles]

29. That's an awesome goatee!

:)

[BikeWriter]

44. Thank you, Pard. I've been growing it for three or four years. :-)

[samplegirl]

39. theres something

about a sharp dressed man

[BikeWriter]

45. ROFL! Thank you, Ma'am. :-)

[Redstone]

27. They're not goatees, dammit, they're VanDykes!

A goatee doesn't have the moustache component.

Redstone

[Sanity Claws]

28. I like them

but on some guys they just don't look right. The guy should wear whatever suits him.

[bigwillq]

30. On certain people, they look good

On others.....:puke:

[purr]

32. As long as its trimmed

and well taken care of, I LOVE THEM. As soon as they get all bushy.. no thanks. When my husband doesnt trim it and it gets bushy it irritates my skin.

[donheld]

34. On some guys they are delightful

Others, not so much.

[freebird1]

35. Love 'em

~ it they're neat.

[sendero]

36. Don't love em or hate em...

.. but I wear one and have for a long time and will for a long time.

I think it looks good on me, wifey thinks so too and frankly I could care less if it is cutting edge fashion or not.

I noticed long ago that many men freeze their hairstyle in their late 20s. I got to my mid 40s before I froze mine :) And dammit, it is staying frozen!

[samplegirl]

40. Keep it!!!!!!!!

I really like this thread because I love goatees. I think most men
look better with one. If you keep it trimmed there is nothing sexier.

[ofrfxsk]

41. It depends. Generally, dark haired men look better with a goatee

than light haired men but I've seen red haired-blonde guys who look down right sexy with facial hair. I dunno. Everybody's different with their preferences.

[CubsFan1982]

42. I'm rather fond of my own.

For whatever that's worth. Other people might not feel the same about mine. :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

43. I have a goatee, and I look good in it....but...I am disgusted by the

johnny come latelies who started sporting goatees in the late 90s/early 00s. I've had mine since the 80s, when they weren't so popular (but when I became intelligent enough to realize that doing something because it is "popular" is a sign of ignorance and a lack of creativity).

Then they became popular, and I was tempted to shave it off because I'd hate for people to think I was just following a trend. Goddamn yuppies filth, always following me, and making me look like I'm just some kind of dumb fuck trend follower. Like the cigar craze - I was into cigars, and loving them, then the yuppie filth decided that cigars were "in", and theprices skyrocketed and priced me right out of them. Of course, once their shitass ignorant attention span left cigars, the prices came down and now I'm back to smoking them again.

Goddamn yuppie fuck filth.

But I still wear the goatee, because that's how I look best, so, yuppie trendy filth be damned, I'll continue to wear them. And then, five years from now, some asshole who today would say "Goatees are the best style ever! They rock! Cool people have goatess!" will be saying "Goatees are ugly, they're dumb, they're stupid looking".

sstupid fucking asshole shitknocking filthfucker gonad-eating clueless artless "I have no sense of myself as an individuated entity" idiots.

[leftofthedial]

49. proud van dyker since 1986

here

I think it suits me.

[ashmanonar]

72. dude...i started wearing a goatee in and around 2000

but that's because my beard started growing then...O.o

[Pushed To The Left]

46. I have one at the moment n/t

[SarahB]

47. ok

It looks good on some men, not on others. If a man has one, I like it short and well-groomed personally.

[last_texas_dem]

48. Alright on some, not on me

I can grow a chin patch and a thin mustache but don't have decent connecting hairs between the two, so that look doesn't work for me.

I think they work on some guys and don't on others, but I don't know if there are specific "looks" that they work and don't work on. If I get used to someone sporting one it becomes a part of their look and starts to work on them even if it didn't seem to before. I guess that's true of most things about someone's appearance.

In general I think full beards are a cooler look. I think if someone can grow a full beard they should go for that rather than just the goatee/mustache combo.

[tjwmason]

51. I normally hate facial hair

And very few guys look good in the (i.m.o.).

Some guys are just so gorgeous that whatever they do looks good.

**On Edit

My boss was down yesterday (YAYS my boss works at the other end of the country); he's grown one and in the words of a colleague "it looks like transplated puic hair". :scared:

[Abelman]

53. Eh

I can't really grow a good one because I have no good mustache. Hair's too light. Plus, Evil Spock had one.

Besides, the best facial hair is, was, and always will be mutton chops.

[Maine-ah]

54. I love goatees!

my husband's is long enough to braid.

[boilerbabe]

59. Oh, You Crazy Maine Girl!!!!! n/t

[sniffa]

56. hate em

but they do make a nice buLLs-eye for my member.

[boilerbabe]

57. But what if it's a girl with a beard??

Cannot you help her??????

[tjwmason]

58. Blunt but accurate

sniffa never changes...

[Cannikin]

61. Spend the rest of the day getting THAT image out of my head

:P

[sniffa]

66. you've never heard of the 'cock target'?

:P

[Cannikin]

67. It used to be my screen name. '[e-mail]'

Ok...maybe not.

[boilerbabe]

62. Now I am getting a COMPLEX

Cuz I am a gal with a hairy chin. Better watch out, I know where you live haha. Well anyway, my goatee sucks anyway....

[fudge stripe cookays]

60. I like em not-so-full....

Kind of like the brother above....just barely following the line of the jaw.

Leaning towards a "Van Dyke" look. I've never liked full beards. They give me a rash.

Fortunately, reprehensor is nice and SMOOOOOTH. Like a baby's butt.
FSC

[kick-ass-bob]

68. I grew mine becuase I looked 16 without it

and being mistaken for my son's brother was a little irritating.
Now he's 9 and I still have it.

I asked my kids if I should shave it off and they both run and hide the trimmer. :silly:

[kick-ass-bob]

70. Your last pic is creepy.

Are they all the same person?

For good/bad facial hair:
I would say #1, maybe.
#2 - shave it.
#3-4 - look good.
and that #5 picture is just fukkin scary...
:scared:



edited because I am having a lot of trouble with my contractions today... :shrug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

71. I like to make fun of them.

If nobody wore a goatee, I wouldn't be able to rip on how utterly ridiculous they look. :(

[MrScorpio]

74. I'll give you a choice as well

With


Without


You make the call
