Sign in to disble this ad
Well I can't grow a beard all too well since I don't grow any hair on the sides of my mouth. So while showering, the girl I was with suggested I grow a goatee. I kinda feel like a douche, but I decided to try it out for a week.
What kind of people actually have goatees besides pompous "art-tists"?
FWIW I just go by the old 60s slogan. Save Water. Shower with a Friend. Hey, its cheaper!

It looks bad with any amount of stubble, and since I'm use to just staying clean shaven all the time, it takes more effort to maintain.
The problem is, I tend to look a bit like a Nazi skinhead or a serial killer or something with a goatee and a nearly shaved head. 
I just love having some hair on my chin to fiddle with all the time because I'm OCD like that.

Go for it. If you don't like it, you can always shave it off.

|  | curiously looking back at what once was beautiful | | Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Oregon | | You might be referring to a Van Dyke (most of what we refer to as a goatee is in fact a Van Dyke FWIW).
I do it because it's the last pathetic facial hair scheme available to me. Clean shaven? No way - I look like a total schmo!!
I did the mustache thing for a few years, then realized I'm not a Chicagoan, a police constable or a registered sex offender.
So, there you have it...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: Australia | | I have had my goatee for about 2 and a half years...just a huge bush of hair sprouting from under my lip and chin and big sideburns. Sometimes I grow the helmet strap or a full beard, but 90% of the time its the goatee. Was clean shaven once and the missus hated it, so I grew the goatee back.
Studies show women like some facial hair, so it cant hurt 
Oh and I shower with my girl every day, its good
Cheers,
Jordan

If you have no chin (or perhaps two or more) then it will be an improvement
Otherwise, fuggeddaboudit

I don't have much of a chin so the goatee hides that fact. Makes people with a round face have a more elongated look

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Memphis, TN | | | My personal opinion? If you can grow a decent one (goatee; beard; mustache; etc.), do it. You can always shave it off if you don't like it.
If you can't, then don't. IMO, not many things look as pathetic as somebody trying to grow something that they obviously can't grow. If your facial hair isn't conducive to a decent one, just stay clean-shaven.

I have always been of the opinion that anyone except old men who have facial hair are doing it because they have something to hide (small chin, thin upper lip, narrow jaw, etc).

Heck, you're already showering with a woman. Unless that's a condition for the continuation of such activities, in which case: GROW THAT PUPPY. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
