Are guys really that picky about what's surrounding a vagina? Besides, I think if there's going to be a grooming deal like that it should be of a comparable area. If a girl has to keep the basement neat, so should a guy.

All that said, what's the big deal? Facial hair is awesome. I get so sad when my boyfriend shaves. I need to get him a trimmer so his facial hair is always the perfect length.

I'm picky about what's around my vagina, why shouldn't the guy who spends time there? Besides, it only seems fair since I'm picky about the "manscaping".

Alas, my airport is not international. It's more like a regional.

I don't get why Dora is so uptight about Marten trying out the whole mustache thing. I'd have been curious. I've tried to get The Man to try growing a beard, but he's against it.

In my experience, and the social stereotype of the times, women typically abhor male facial hair. Not always but its said to be scratchy for the females or tickles them.

A moustache is hard to pull off. And wtf he's seriously doing it because it's "kinda in style"?

Carl-E · « **Reply #62 on:** 05 Oct 2009, 23:58 »

Definitely, the worst hipsterism there is! I never put him as a "style junkie".

With me, I started wearing facial hair 'cause I'm a bleeder. Even witih an electric razor... I got sick of cleaning the blood out of the sink every morning.

I hear razors have gotten better.

Don't care, at this point.

I don't think a 'stache would be a good look for Marten. He would look llike a skinny Ron Jeremy, and if Dora carried out her threat to let her garden run wild, as it were, things would take on way too much of a '70's porn vibe

Don't forget, Marten has already had a moustache. Admittedly it was in one of Faye's daydreams, and it was a ridiculous curly thing...maybe we're heading towards Faye's dream coming true...

Nah.

I like that in today's comic, someone actually managed to talk Marten OUT of following a ridiculous trend. That needs to happen more in real life. They could call it "hipstervention." Just a a couple of people cruising around in a van looking calculator watches and bedhead. When they find the target, they shove them in the back and make them listen to early U2 until their sense of irony has eroded completely.

I have it worse than Marten, not only am i incapable or growing myself a decent set of facial hair, but i suffer from masses of ingrown hairs every time i shave. Damned if i do, damned if i dont... No wonder i have issues...

Me neither. In fact, I don't reallly care for the shaven-brazilian-12-year-old-look.

As far as facial hair is concerned, I personally couldn't do it because my facial hair is scraggly and patchy (some asian genes) and it wouldn't look good on me.
Plus I must have missed the whole thing about moustaches being in style. Still reminds me of 70's porn.

Matter of fact, I prefer non-shaved.

Makes you look more like a woman, not a little girl. I have no interest in little girl bits. (that's creepy to even think about)

LTK · « **Reply #73 on:** 06 Oct 2009, 06:36 »

I once knew a girl whose dad thought she was mentally ill because she didn't want to shave. I have no problems with hair myself, as long as it doesn't get out of proportion. Bears and 'staches are pretty cool sometimes, depending on the person donning them. I can't grow any decent beard myself, unfortunately, so I just don't try. I think attempted beards look ridiculous.

Carl-E · « **Reply #74 on:** 06 Oct 2009, 06:45 »

To those of you complaiin' about not being able to grow facial hair;

Give it time. Try again in a decade or so, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the results.

And if it's still weird, or patchy, well - how do you think things like van dykes were invented? If the beard/stash/sideburns don't connect, just don't connect 'em!

Just remember, length doesn't make up for thinness. Unless you're FuManchu!

Amen! There are just some areas where a parent's thoughts don't belong and their child's crotch is one of them. I think this should also apply the other way around, but once you reach a certain age some parents think it's ok to over share. I've lost count of the times I've had to say "TMI, mom!" really, cause there are just some things you don't need to know about your mother.

P.S. Ya'll make it sound like it's an all or nothing proposition! You don't have to go hairless, or nearly so, to keep it neat down there. Some people just keep it trimmed close.

If you are a guy who has horribly patterned facial hair and can't or don't want to shave it constantly, I suggest laser hair removal. I'm seriously considering it for my nether bits. I actually like the 12-year-old look for myself.

themacnut · « **Reply #81 on:** 06 Oct 2009, 10:23 »

Yes, facial hair or lack thereof is a personal preference and genetics thing. Some people like it, some people hate it. Some men can grow a decent beard from an early age (mid-to-late teens), some men can't ever grow a decent one at any age.

And some men need to grow a beard or at least a mustache, 'cause they have little-boy faces or weak chins and need a decent beard to make themselves look like they've actually passed puberty.

That not specifically, no. The topic was legs, and while that's not as much creepy, I find that you should seriously reconsider your way of parentage as a father if you're telling your daughter how to look. Never mind, end topic.

hell no, men don't need to be doing anything irreverable to their faces when they probably just need to wait for testosterone to do its work. As for your nether bits, you're not removing ALL of it are you? a landing strip can be nice

You mean pubic hair? Because, I mean, if that's what you prefer, that's fine. But, it shouldn't weird you out. It's natural, after all.

I care. But only a bit. I prefer a woman to have some hair down there (but, really, I'm not going to complain if she removes it all), but I definitely like her to keep it neat. Of course, like you said, it's only fair that the guy reciprocates by doing some man-scaping (unless his lady...or man...prefers that he doesn't).

I had a beard from ages 23 to 48, but I developed a white patch on the chin. For 18 months I coloured it out with Just For Men until I noticed the chemicals were giving me a rash. With a choice between losing the beard or looking like a badger, I opted to shave.

(At the time, I was due to attend a charity fund-raiser of a somewhat risqué nature, (N.B. NSFW!) so I ended up shaving off all my body hair as well, and going in full head-to-toe bodypaint. One must suffer for one's art).

A moustache is hard to pull off.

And bloody painful, too. I would recommend just shaving it off.

slingstone · « **Reply #87 on:** 06 Oct 2009, 13:41 »

Maybe it's tradition, or a police cliche

but I've found that having a mustache help give me authority over folks that might be less inclined to listen to me. For example, I volunteer with a high school service group as a leader. I'm in college so I'm only 3 years older than some of the kids I'm supposed to be directing/supervising. Having a mustache definitely helped distinguish me from the crowd (and make me seem older/more mature that I was).

And what is wrong with looking like a badger?

My sister and one of my aunts both developed a white streak in their hair in their late 20s, and opted to leave it in, as it gave them a more authoritarian look, which is beneficial in their lines of work (the former is an optometric... something, and the other's a lawyer)
