    I dont know, I'd have to see a no beard picture before I could say one way or the other :)
    been a really long time since I had no beard, but here is a pic with just a goatee

    I saw you look great but you could try a goatee first if you're afraid :)

    I like the beard better than the goatee IMHO :)

    I'm a no-beard kind of girl, so I say shave it. Or go with a goatee...I think that looks much nicer on you than the beard!

    I haven't got any idea what I would look like without a beard. Or hair on my head, for that matter.

    But...I like it.

    I like the beard. It suits you. Not every man can grow a decent beard.

    Fan of facial hair on men here. It looks great on you. The fuller beard is definitely more flattering than the goatee. But if you're not sure, you can always shave it off then grow it back.

    It looks good, but I don't have any no-beard pics to compare it with. You'll probably look younger without the beard (most guys do), so consider that.
    Also keep in mind that any change is temporary. If you shave it then decide you liked your look better with it, it grows back.

    I peeked at your other pics on your profile to see if there was a no-beard one there, and just have to say, great progress!!!

    I like it! But, you could shave it and see how you feel. Itll be back soon enough if you dont like it.

    I am a personal fan of the goatee! I cried the ONE TIME my husband shaved his off without telling me. He looked 12! I made him promise to grow it back immediately and NEVER shave it off. Plus it looks super sexy with the short hair/bald head!

    Keep the beard!!! And change your name to Samson since it gave you the power!

    I might go for just the middle name :bigsmile:

    Wow, I looked at all your pictures and you are really a success story!
    I like the beard. Perhaps a professional trim as part of a gent's facial. My husband likes the gent's facial and you might too. Go ahead pamper yourself!

    Well, I'm typically NOT a facial hair fan, but you look good in it! AND, with your Colorado lifestyle and all the things you like to do here, it's definitely more practical (Broomfield here!)

    Good point it keeps the face mighty warm in the winter, and if I am ever stuck on a mountain I could braid it into a rope and rappel down

    Lose the beard. JMO, but a beard to me means a guy is too lazy to shave every morning (not that I blame you :wink: ).

    Beards don't fool anyone...they still know you're...say what?...Oh, not that kind of beard?? Sorry... nevermind. :bigsmile:

    J/K!

    My thoughts from another Dude. I've found over the years that really is a polarizing question. Most women either love them or they hate them. I'm pleasantly surprised and happy to see how many are in the "love" camp around here though!

    Maybe it really just boils down to what your life partner prefers on you. If they hate them, you really don't want them to go "Ewww!" everytime they look at your face, do you? If you're single and looking to see what might make you more attractive, I think either will work for you.

    I'm not in the habit of commenting on how attractive other guys are or aren't .... not that there's anything wrong with that LOL ... but I think the goat looks really good on you. To me, it seems to suit you better than the full beardage in my opinion. Not sure what you look like clean shaven. Some people's faces beg to be bearded. LOL Probably not yours from what I can tell though.

    I'm currently clean shaven mostly cuz my baby face makes me look much younger than the beard that, on a good day, would be classified as Salt & Pepa... smiley-char124.gif I either have to color it or pluck the lessthanbrownwhiskers out...and that became really* time-consuming, not to mention painful! :laugh:

    It's coming up on the time of year I usually entertain a goatee for *cough* "extra warmth for deer season"...but really it's just an excuse so I don't get fussed at cuz the woman in my life hates facial hair...or maybe it's just me, not really sure. :angry:

    I say go for it!...until such time as you're instructed otherwise by your life-mate... :angry:

    ETA: DYAC!

    You look very handsome with the beard. But some women (me) have sensitive skin and any tickling, scratching is annoying. So even if my husband looks sexy with scruff, it's torture for little old me.

    It all comes down to what your lady will/does want. :) Your beard is certainly not hindering your chances! Just be willing to shave that baby off if the right woman is a wimp like me! haha

    @Fattleass How about compromise and have it trimmed/shaped? I like both on you. I'm a facial hair lover though. :)
