Or.. me as I was?



I'd probably get a lot more hugs if this was me...

Well I must say it is different. You look younger without the beard I think. But I like beards so......Have to vote without.

I used to be a beard fan, but that was probably due to an infatuation with Barry Gibb!
I have to say you look good either way Kuki, but where's your antlers? <VBG>
P.S. Keep Sam just the way he is!

Kuki,
Beard is distinguished. But like me the gray is setting in and the age shows. Keep the fuzz but do a little color coat ..

If I let mine grow people start calling me "Grampa", I'm not ready for that quite yet. Of course with a face like mine most say "Wear a ski mask" .. ROFL

I like how you look in the third picture. {{lol}} On a serious note, it does get cold in the winter and a beard is a great insulator, besides it does get softer as it grows longer, as Set4 will attest to. Keep it.

Oh great, I opened up this thread to the most frightful picture I've ever seen. I puked all over the keyboard. But then I saw Sam and felt better. Boy, what a way to start the day. Thanks alot Antlerhead!

BTW, lose the beard.

I'm growing mine until the next cruise. Above 35 degrees North, I consider it almost a necessity for winter. Nothing cuts like a 20MPH wind in sub 0 temperatures on fresh-shaved face!

Loose the beard and the glasses and go with some new style frames. You will look years younger.

I like both and Sam, too, what a sweet face (Sam)! I think I'd actually vote for without although I've always liked beards!

Recently I ran into someone I dated over 4 yrs., were engaged, I didn't recognize him because he shaved his beard and mustache! My neighbors wanted me to meet someone they thought was nice and picked, out of 100,000 people in this area, the one guy I'd been engaged to, pretty funny! We had a good laugh over it!

Dick (real name) and I decided if it wasn't working over 20 yrs. ago, probably wouldn't work now but we stay in touch and if he can't find a "real" date he takes me!!! :-) Says being with me keeps his overactive impression of himself in check, I never cut him any slack.

Personally, I say shave the beard.

But do whatever you prefer.

I have never liked beards, as I think they make people look older.

I say without the beard. But then again, after coming from outside from shovelling the snow off my driveway, I think you might need it when you go out to do your driveway!!

Kuki: It is amazing how different you look with a beard. I like both, but do like without better. What does Geela say? She is the important one here!

Looks like Sam is winning this race....

GQ recently released a report on beards. Same man with and without a beard. Women said that the man with beard would be more down to earth, friendly, funnier, less sex appeal, and a few others that I donīt remember. Men without cared about their appearance more, were more serious, etc..

Personally I donīt care. Just donīt walk around with food trapped in it! ewwwwww!

"There was an old man with a beard
Who said, it is just as I feared ...
Two owls and a hen,
Three mice and a wren
Have all made nests in my beard!"



I think Edward Lear wrote that.

Thanks for all the opinions. I ask for opinions about the beard, and am told to get rid of my glasses. (Bob.. actually the glasses are relatively new "designer" frames<G>)

At least no one told came right out and told me to lose the face.. though I'm sure some thought it<G>
