(Also, nowadays, you may look like an ISIS member with a certain type of beard.)

After reading the above comment and thinking that I might need to attract women in the future, maybe a beard isn't that smart of an idea.

I may sound like a hopeless romantic, but then again, many cynics are: "Attracting women" is a load of smurf. Yes, some people are more attractive, smarter, more popular, but what we as humans need, is someone who puts up with the unimportant parts of our bullsmurf while not letting us get away with the important. We don't find that person by dressing up as the least common denominator. Just take a shower and be weird, be yourself. Don't compete accepting the other guys' rules, make your own rules when you can, break the other's rules when you must. Just smurfing live!

I didn't mean to get preachy, I just work a place with a lot of single guys. They talk a lot about "women", very little about "getting to know people". Smurf... I feel old.

I believe men and women should let all their body hair grow naturally, as long as they can grow them.  :salute:

No more shaving, waxing, lasers etc. Live free.

A Mediterranean man should never say that.
Sexual dimorphism is a natural phenomenon but cultural also. Some cultures are more sensitive regarding body and facial hair. We see the classical beauty standards set by the ancient Greeks in the wealth of bronze and marble statues. Mature men (Zeus, Poseidon, Philosophers etc) have facial and body hair. Women (Aphrodite, Hera, Athena, Nike, Caryatids, Athenian women on the Parthenon freeze and Niki temple) not. Ancients had wax too.

There are beard shampoos and conditioners and oils.

I've generally only kept the moustache/goatee look, and rarely had more than a week or two's scruff on the rest. A while back I shaved only neckbeard/below my jawline part and part of my cheeks and have kept on trimming but let the rest grow. Suprisingly it eventually got past the steel brush texture that had me shaving everything but the goatee in the first place and now reached a point where it's not annoying me as it was.

Here's a somewhat horrible selfie I took a few weeks ago...

I've had a goatee for the last 18yrs I've tried diff lengths, but last year I grew it as long as I could, along with the sides, and if it was one thing the wife couldn't stand, it was the longer hair, my problem was mine won't grow thick especially on the sides. I found this pic today while the wife and I were going threw the pics on the camera, and for some reason it didn't come out to clear. It looks thick but it really wasn't.

my wife prefers me bearded, so I'll grow a beard during the winter.  IT takes about 4-6 weeks to grow one out.

tips:
  • Do NOT trim the beard at the jawline. That looks dumb.
  • Wait until the beard is fully grown before trimming the borders.

Also, get a beard trimmer to maintain it, but you can also go to a good barber and have your beard shaped up professionally.

I usually use a #2 or #3 for trimming my beard, which is only grown for the winter.  I'm starting to get tired of it now to be honest.  I'll keep my goat though.

I can't say I see any problem there? How people tend to their own body is a personal matter as long as it doesn't affect the health of people around them. If you want blue hair and won't lose your job coloring your hair blue (and if you get fired for hair color, I don't like your employer), do it. If your wife likes your beard and it's OK by you, grow one. I think personal choice is a splendid principle for hair growing anywhere on the body, both for shaving and growing. :)

Oh, and a standard note: Men not going down on their woman if she's not shaven downstairs are behaving like boys wanting girls, not men wanting women. :D

(Yes, I feel perfectly comfortable making fun of other people's personal choices even though I stress this is a personal choice. Freedom of expression is a beautiful thing.)

It's like multitools, really. Everybody must figure out what works for themselves, and what their SOs will put up with. :D

Here's another beard fact, you may or may not look like an Orthodox priest.




For more facts, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard

From 17 to 26 years of age I couldn't stand the sight of me shaved, I felt I looked child-like. I'd shave every month, month and a half. Then I realised my beard made me look like a savage. Man, I need to scan and upload THAT picture of me in my 20s I want to burn and my wife won't let me. Then you'll know why now I shave every two to three days. Funny thing is she loves how I look in that photo -I find it creepy- but she prefers me shaved; even my one-day facial hair can give her a rush. Women... need I say more?

Besides appearance, wearing a beard in the hot greek summer is a sport I am no longer fond of... Plus, I may be getting older (who said that ??) but I don't like this trend of bearded men. It's difficult to explain without a bit of modern greek history so I'll skip that and just state that seeing trendy yuppies wearing suits and beards that make them look like greek independence war fighters or greek civil war rebels is plain ridiculous.

Growing a beard doesn't mean you just stop shaving. You have to make it happen. The least you can do is comb it frequently so you can get an idea of what can be done with that beard of yours and save yourself the itches you're otherwise bound to get. Then, make up your mind whether it looks good on you or not  ;)

Good luck either way :tu:

So it is now acceptable to post pictures of  priests with fake Raiders badges on them?

Why not post some defaced pictures with some figures from other religions  e.g. Muslim then? Lets see what the reaction will be from that. 

People are now mocking their own heritage and then wonder why others are defecating on their country and show their nation no respect.

*Ahem* Our Church was against the 1821 Greek Independence War out of fear of losing privilegdes granted by the Ottoman High Porte... Separation of Church and State still hasn't happened here...

Don't get me wrong, I value tradition but I have a lot of defecating of my own to do on my country... I just posted this pic because I thought it was funny. It was just meant to show a beard is mandatory for Orthodox priests.

Let's be careful we don't slide to far into the political discussions here. :police:

You know politics and religion are a no-no here, and both got mentioned it the last few posts.

If you wish to discuss it further take it to PMs, guys. Or that thread where you both write in those funny letters no one else understands. :P

Then just post a regular priest picture without the Raiders marks.
This picture is designed to make fun of  religion. Making fun of that because of what happened in 1821 (by some in the leadership, not all the priests), in 2015 does not seem right.
When a German magazine makes fun of an ancient statue, then, maybe they should be allowed to do so because of what Alexander the Great or some other ancient Greek did to Iran etc.

As I said I doubt anybody would post a picture of a Muslim/Hindu/Jewish etc priest, making fun of him, and expect people to like it and have a laugh.

I will not go on, as I am aware of the no politics/religion discussion rule but I still think that you need to respect your own culture before requesting respect from others.

I realise I may have unintentiοnally offended you with my bad taste, dks, so I changed the picture with one of Gerontas Paisios (a Saint as of 2015). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Pastitsios  :poke:


 I also am aware of the no politics and religion rule and I respect that rule. However, please allow me a few comments...

ENOUGH politics. That's how forums die.

Now, back to the beards. You people suck. I've been compelled to to take the "selfie". This is 5 years, with a little singed off. No, there isn't a hollow in the middle, it's just a trick of the white hair. And I trim it in front of the ears- drives me nuts, and it interferes with earmuffs.
