To Beard or Not To Beard? That is the Cliche/Poll.

**Louweasel** · 02-20-2006 11:09 AM

Swordwench makes some excellent points. Well said!

I would like to add that you can't say that women like or don't like beards generally, or even that one woman has a preference. Women are funny creatures, and we decide whether we like the beard after we decide whetehr we like the nman wearing it. Three years ago I'd have said I didn't really like beards, and then i went out with a bearded guy, and I liked it because it was part of him. But that doesn't mean the next guy I date (still waiting...*taps foot*) will necessarily be bearded.

But it's useful to know that the red sore chin you get from extended snogging of a guy who shaved say that morning (and it's now evening) is not a problem with a bearded guy as it is softer. For maximum female chin comfort, it's either a decent beard or a recent shave.

However Black Jeebus, i think you look nicer without a beard, in a purely objective sense.

Count yourself lucky. I have been known to curdle milk at half a furlong.

Seriously, I keep reading comments like "I saw Inq at the tournament, but I didn't speak to him because he looked so forbidding". Thus I conclude that I must have a certain, ah, unfortunate appearance...

Unfortunate for you only if you eschew solitude. Otherwise their loss is your gain.

Well, I wouldn't like to scare away fetching young lasses like Louweasel, you know.

Don't you mean fleching young lasses?

**Inquartata** · 02-20-2006 03:25 PM

No, I fence sabre. The fleche is truly the Forbidden Dance of Love for us...

**Go? Fencing?** · 02-20-2006 03:33 PM

But Louweasel is a foilist.
