It was not a memo, it was a direct order from Tommy.

... I have a typical teenager whispy beard. I probably wouldn't have much by the end of November, but sure, why not?

I am going to do a Reverse Novembeard and shave every day mainly because I am envious of every other man's ability to grow a beard

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #104 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 19:53 »

Thats probably the same reason why women hate on us man types when we grow them. They just make up a bunch of other excuses to cover it up.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #105 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 19:56 »

I believe this comic demonstrates the issue.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #106 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 20:06 »

What would the reason be for how there is a very vocal minority of women who DO love beards? Does that mean you've discovered our secret, that we totally can grow totally bomb-ass beards?

As an act of rebellion i refuse to shave weekends and any 4day passes and/or leave I get other than that if i even have the slightest stubble my SGT smokes the hell outta me or makes me dry shave in front of the platoon. I really do miss my beard though ((sigh))

That seems to be pretty common amongst the military people I know, except replace SGT with LT or Captain (pretty much everyone I know is an officer).

Proposal: Us teenagers/weakbeards can compete in "wispiest beard". NO SHAVING ALLOWED. It will be a matter of mutual trust and honour.

My dad told me: If you can't win, make sure they'll remember you. I find the best way to do this is suck monumentally the instant first place is out of sight.

Mmm, we can do this.

Okay, I'm in on the wimpybeard competition. I will probably not win that either, but it at least sounds more fun than normal novembeard.

scarred · « **Reply #111 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 23:22 »

Great, now I know I'm going to fall somewhere in the middle. My facial hair, while nowhere near majestic, is also not even close to wispy.

New goal: hobocore

I know people who award prizes at the end for virtually everything. In order to not give unfair advantage to the naturally hairy or hairless, there are many different categories.

E.g.,

-- Person most resembling somebody's uncle
-- Best pedostache
-- Best Sam Beam
-- Least absorbent
-- Least symmetrical
etc.

What I'm trying to say is that at the end of Movember, everyone is a winner, especially if you are raising money for testicular cancer awareness.

Jace · « **Reply #113 on:** 23 Oct 2009, 00:19 »

I win the Person Most Resembling Tania's Little Cousin award.

I'll also be competing for trashiest goatee/trashstache combo.

I can't do this because my girlfriend's birthday is in November and she will tear my face off if a whispy manboybeard graces it.

I am down for this. I am basically mustache-inept, much less a full beard.

I mean basically when the extent of your ability at facial hair comes down to this then you really don't stand much of a chance, do you?

Wait a minute, didn't Henry Rollins say that?

Jens, do you have something to tell us?

I might have to drop out of the wimpybeard competition if I get a job interview. Probably won't happen, but if I'm lucky, it will.

This is movember, people. This ain't about beards, it's about the noble moustache.

The "My Neighbour" on that chart is closer to Lemmy's actual facial hair than the "Motorhead"

I am a beard loving lady, I don't understand all these girlfriends demanding clean shaven-ness. If it were boys demanding similar things from ladies they would not be happy.

Also I am looking forward to pictures & then possibly animations of stages of growth.

(I wish my boyfriend could grow a beard, but I do stroke his wispy peodo 'tache & tell him it's manly, I think that is fair.)

From what I can tell in this thread, apparently they do? And the girls put up with it.

calenlass · « **Reply #131 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 09:17 »

Yeah, my first boyfriend requested that I shave, but it was annoying and I got razorburn in places that should not be affected thusly, so I stopped, and when he asked again I told him to shove it up his arse and that was the end of it.

elizaknowswhatshesfor · « **Reply #132 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 09:30 »

Most ladies I know keep themselves to a level of tidy that boys are happy with.

I have been asked to change that & I did once, then never again, it wasn't nice. It felt & looked weird.

0bsessions · « **Reply #133 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 09:46 »

In all fairness to my girlfriend, I'm reasonably sure she'd rather I have a big, bushy beard than be completely shaven. I look like a twelve year old boy when clean shaven and both of us are well aware of that fact. It's once it gets past the three weeks to a month mark that she dislikes it. My honest biggest reason for not doing it is I need to look presentable for prospective job interviews and the like.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #134 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 19:07 »

Well now you've got a job, right? Now there's no excuse. Beard up.

It's funny, with me and my girlfriend it is kind of the other way around. She is pretty paranoid about keeping shaved despite my constant reassurance that I honestly don't give a fuck at all. Honestly if she wanted to grow some big armpit bushes I wouldn't mind.

The only thing I've tried to pressure her into shaving was her head... She didn't budge on that, either.

I wonder how well her (and mine, for that matter) resolve re: shaving will hold once we are on the road and staying in hostels or crashing on floors.

Inlander · « **Reply #135 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 19:11 »

It was while hostelling in Finland in 2003 that I first decided "Ah, fuck it" and grew a beard instead of shaving.

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #136 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 19:16 »

I'm so glad my girlfriend sees no point in either of us shaving. I like being a bit beardy, and it freaks me out a little bit when girls feel a need to be hairless.

Unfortunately not all of us can just say "yes I believe I will grow a beard". I kind of have to shave because the alternative is not a pleasant experience for anyone involved.

Lines · « **Reply #138 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 19:24 »

When it's cold, I could care less about my leg hair until it starts to itch. Can't grow out armpit hair, though, because I just feel gross when I don't. Really, it's all personal preference and power to those ladies who can be all natural.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #139 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 22:19 »

I wear ankle socks exclusively because regular socks pull on my hairs and it is very uncomfortable. Though I do agree with you about the armpit hair, it's just annoying. I used to be ridiculous about shaving, but then I realized it is too much work and I don't like it anyway. Plus the stubble is really itchy, really really itchy. Part of the reason I prefer a beardy man is because his face is softer than a dude with stubble, so I would assume it's the same for everywhere else.

I seem to remember you having a picture with stubble at one point, am I thinking of someone else? It was quite a long time ago, but you haven't changed your name, so I don't see where I would have gotten it mixed up.

I wish I could grow a beard. I even chose to live in Beard Hall this year, hoping it would help.

It didn't.

I had facial hair for quite a while, but it took a criminally long time for me to grow

What you see on my face in that photo is as much as I can grow, and that is the result of maybe a month or more of growing?

Don't try face rubbing. I mean, I guess you can if you want, but I haven't been able to catch beard with that technique yet.

hooray! a goodly percentage of the male bar staff at my place of work are doing movember with me, for charity and all! Our rules are - only moustache, no other facial fur stylings allowed. Any style of moustache is permitted. Results of such manly philanthropy will be posted here as-and-when the lip-fuzz cometh.

One of my friends has a very majestic beard. He told me if I rubbed my chin every day and ate all my vegetables I would one day be able to grow a beard like his.

In the history of all relationships ever, short or long, I have never asked a girl to do or not do something specific with their appearance.

Maybe once they did something or wore something I liked and I commented that it was nice but that is basically the extent that you are allowed to interfere as far as I am concerned.

Well I doubt you'd be dumb enough to date a girl that didn't keep herself, no?
