Does this beard make me look old?

Sign in to disble this ad
I just started to grow a beard in the last few weeks and I wanted to know if it makes me look old. For comparison, here is a picture of me from last year and also a picture of me from last week.

Please disregard the different T-shirts I'm wearing. In the first picture I'm wearing a Metallica - Ride the Lightning T-shirt and in the second picture I'm wearing a Van Morrison - Daily Flash T-shirt.

Also, my hat seems to have shrunk in the wash.

I'm gonna say yes, in the first one you look almost like a kid, but in the second the beard does make ya look a bit older.

I'll go out on a limb and say that the Van Morrison t-shirt makes you appear much older than the beard does.

You look like someone I'd see on the nightly news.

Shave the beard.

Do you mean behind the desk or on the street?

Either, depending on the channel.

No. It makes you look like the lead singer from The Knowbodys' evil twin.

BWA-HA-HAAAA!!!

Seriously...you look like Ron's dark twin. He looks exactly like you except that he's got red-blonde hair and green eyes. I think he's actually the bassist in his current band out in Cali. He started as a bassist.

When you play, do you tend to walk around the stage a lot with a bouncy gait that makes you somewhat resemble a pinball on a slow-motion full-tilt glory run?

Ron does. Its one of the things I love about him.

Seriously man...its like Kirk and Anti-Kirk!

Cool...keep the beard...I do dig the white streak. I like that on guys...that neato white-streak beard/sideburns thingie. Except on whatshisname from The Sopranos. That was just creepy.
