Because you always see a bunch of backwoods, corncob-pipe smokers that wear Wranglers rocking out to Dream Theater while driving their John Deere. No, my friend, something like progressive rock is only for the civilized folks that dont drink moonshine and have all their teeth.

If you don't double and triple check everything after you've worked on it there is something seriously wrong with you

There's confident yet cautious and then there's arrogant. You can be confident and still check your work before putting your life in danger.

OK fred, i've heard your general opinion on this already, but here it is in a different way...

What do you ladies thing about WELL GROOMED facial hair? For example, you can see definition just below the cheek bones where its been shaved, a shaved neck, and the entire thing is a uniform length. (just trying to describe what i consider to be well groomed)

I feel if a woman can see that you are putting effort into this appearance, she would be accepting of it? unless of course she has some set pre-disposition against such a style?

Or is it that regardless how hard we try to make it look well groomed, its always perceived as scruff and unacceptable?

Hmm. That's a woman's preference really. Definitely varies. For me, I like well groomed goatees and/or chops and that's it, anything more really hurts when it comes to close contact time.

Very cool.

Question: if no one cared would you guys bother shaving or would you just grow your beards? I know people who hate to shave worse than they hate the beard.

That was rhetorical, right? I hate shaving, it tears my face up. If I wasn't married I would never shave but wifey no kissy when I have the stubble.

^ that. my face will only allow one shaving a week. and it's f***ing picky about how i do it too. no electric shavers, 2 blade razor - no more, no less, no shaving cream - straight water only, no after shave - only an application of rubbing alcohol. if i don't comply, it's pimple city. if i try and shave twice in one week, i'm all cut up with the addition of razor burn. shaving blows hard.

My goat is nearly that long, perhaps another month and it'll be as such. Changes colors too rather regularly. Half-red, full red, half-gray (ala Portnoy), etc. I'm a network engineer so nobody gives a crap what I look like at work as I have zero interaction with the customers.
