The Dilemma of Facial Hair

Before I start on today's topic, I'd like to mention the fact that this is my 400th post!

And what better way to spend it than to talk about the dilemma of facial hair. For guys, that is.

So this afternoon, my brother asked me, "Should I keep a moustache or goatee or something?"

It's a question that every boy faces at some point in his life. It's usually a question triggered predominantly by statements like "Girls dig guys with facial hair," or "Girls find guys with facial hair sexy as hell."

In the words of Vicky Pollard, I would say, "Yea, but no but..." Those statements need MAJOR qualifications. So let me begin.

The rule of thumb is, you, as a guy, should only consider keeping facial hair if you satisfy the following criteria:
  • You are already DAMN good-looking.
  • You are already sexy.
  • You have flawless skin.
  • You do not wear glasses.
  • You have eyes and a gaze that bores right through a girl's eyes and into her soul and the gaze says, "I know you want me."
Don't believe me? Here are some bearded guys who drive girls crazy:






The truth is, it is not the facial hair that makes them hot. These guys ALREADY have what it takes. Girls go crazy over them even without the facial hair. Personally, I don't dig facial hair, but I acknowledge that facial hair does add that sort of gruffiness about the guy that make girls go, "Grr! Tiger!"

You have to satisfy ALL the criteria. If not, you're (waaaaaay) better off NOT keeping any facial hair. The only thing facial hair will do to you is to give the impression that (a) you're lazy (b) you study too much to bother to shave (c) you're from a Motherland (d) you have bad hygiene (e) everything else that is not complimentary.

Good advice from a girl! If you think I'm wrong... you're obviously wrong.

C'est tout!
