Dang it! What happened to the text-color options? Here I would have liked [color=Pink]!
Have a nice time!

Not the goofy looking people like me. | Dude... you have got to be kidding me.  I don't know about anywhere else, but most ladies I've made the acquaintence of tend to go for the pretty boy type. Guys like josh hartnet and that elvish dude in LOTR, and the one guy that's in a gay cowboy movie. If ladies did go for rugged badass guys, then I wouldn't be sitting here typing this post.

I like my beard sheerly from the less shaving I have to do. | |

| Funny, most women I know go for the slightly rugged types:
Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) in LOTR, Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, Goran Visnjic (ER)...
I remember a discussion about how a friend knew that she had grown up (this was in college, so not that old) when it was Han Solo and not Luke that was attractive.
Personally, I think that some guys should always have a beard, some guys should never have a beard, and some are able to change as suits their mood for the week/month/day. I have a coworker who grows a full beard in about 2 days. I have seen the most unusual stylings on him. | |

1) I'm a girl, and no I don't like the beard
2) I'm a girl, and yes I do like the beard
3) I'm a guy, and no I don't think the beard is intimidating
4) I'm a guy, and yes I do think the beard is intimidating
5) None of the above covers my position perfectly
There! Option #5 even covers the Inq angle.
Hopefully, you will get majorities 2>1, and 4>3.
Personally, if you want to appear more intimidating you could try taking away all references to cartoons in your sig-line.
Have a nice time!
Peter Gustafsson
BTW: How did you get your pink text in the sig-line? | |

| Perhaps, but the descriptive adduced was "intimidating". On that basis we'd be talking about guys like Ice Cube, Bolo Yeung or Jack Palance...
Or, apparently, me.  | |

Or, apparently, me. | Well, I was referring to scruffy as opposed to a pretty boy.
And lots of women find "dangerous", which could be read as intimidating, men attractive. The whole bad boy thing. | |

Me, I like the good people. Like Ess, for instance.

Rule #1: Girls like pretty boys.
Rule #2: Real women like men to look like men.
Rule #3: Women who like pretty boys are likely intimidated by sex, and thus seek out androgynous males who don't intimidate them. (Errr, you don't want to romp with these chicks. Snoooooze.)
Rule #4: Women may date bad boys, but they should avoid marrying them at all cost.

Wear jeans that are worn down, naturally by wearing them of course
Scruffy boots
Black tee shirt
Old leather jacket with bullet holders
Aviators, red
Scruffy face, messed up hair and maybe a tattered ball cap
