TMI, people, TMI! I mean, dear god! :p

I wont get into the nether-region discussion with you gents, however i will say that it gets on my nerves when people say that beards are unclean and that every guy should be cleanly shaved. 9 out of 10 people say that it's unclean and filthy to have a beard, which is utter bull****.
Ofcourse it's a personal preference but a lot of people always force their opinion down your throat and judge you. At least that is my experience.
Too many times i'm being told to shave, and it's getting very tiresome.
Only in a few very rare occasions is it being supported.
Now i don't care much for other peoples opinions though i do care that people always have to voice their opinion like it matters.
And it's more troublesome to find an interested girl, because as said many are pretty shallow and in my case just can't get over the beard.

Personally i think beards tend to add something to the face cosmetically.
Simply put, beards are awesome lol. When i see a bearded guy walking i cant help but feel sympathy for him, because i know it takes commitment to grow and maintain one.
Somehow though many people cant seem to understand why i like to have a beard. Well, since i cant put it into words myself that well, i'll quote a guy i found on beards.org, answering the question how he liked being a full-bearded man:

"It does not only feel like I re-invented a brand new me, but also like it's the final completion of myself. It's like I discovered a long-hidden part of my body -- the B-spot!? I don't know what it is doing there but it's doing something! I'm more handsome, happier, and proud. I feel more complete. Perhaps the key to all this is warmth. I don't mean the nice effort of a beard keeping your face warm during cold winters but more a social and biological warmth. After all, the man with a beard is the symbol of the father figure -- "Calm down. Everything is going to be fine" -- and the leader -- "I know the way. Follow me!" -- and the caveman, too -- with his beard, he puts nature far above culture (shaving). Maybe some of all that is glittering on me when I glimpse in the mirror. I'm amazed about how many people do believe that full-bearded men are hiding something. Meanwhile, I would say it's more like the opposite: men who shave do hide something. They hide something -- out of sight. It might sound a bit paradoxical, but the longer the beard, the more naked you are. After all, the beard is undoubtedly a sign of manhood, wildness, freedom, and...sexuality! Not having secrets, like the shameless nudist, is the luckiest way of being! The beard makes me a lucky man. There's nothing left to hide. Etymologically, the word beard seems to come from barbarian. Somehow, I like that idea."

SiC, you are completely right. Beards are awesome and I think a beard, even stubble, almost always improves the looks of a man. I hate the fact that I can't grow one... otherwise I'd have a big Viking beard by now. It's probably genetics. :(

As for the girls SiC, just view your beard as a 'bull**** filter', or 'shallowness filter'. It keeps out the shallow girls and draws in the awesome ones. :cool:

Lots of nice people there. Make sure you read the 'Rules of Beard Acquisition', it's a good read.

BTW, your beard looks good, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Damn it I'm spending too much money at the moment. On tuesday I bought 109€ columbia sunglasses, on wednesday I thought I could use aviator sunglasses too so I bought the ray ban ones for 129€, then I bought an goldened-brown slim-fit shirt from an online store for 65€ because no single shop in vienna seems to have a shirt in this colour. Additionally I bought Brink from play.com(I wanted to cancel after all the negative reviews from players and press, but the game was already posted) for 31,49€ and The Witcher 2 premium edition for probably ~35€. Additionally I'm expecting -50€ for going out tonight. On the other hand all of those things are good investments because I got a 4year guarantee on those glasses, usually wear my shirts for at least 1-3 years and TW2 will definitely be worth it.
