Should it stay or should it go(atee)? --> another one
« on: July 17, 2011, 05:55:32 AM »
Dough wondered about his beard/goatee, well, I have a similar question.

I have never had any facial hair ever, but it seemed to me that a lot of sly guys have some sort of facial hair.
 So I'd thought I'd try it with a goatee.

I had it on for aobut 4 weeks, but didn't like it as I thought it made me look older, so shaved it of. Now it's gone, I'm again thinking that it maybe didn't look that bad after all.
So, as I can't make up my mind, I'd appreciate your advice.

Whatdayathing: should I let it grow again or go clealy sly all the way?

In addition, the gray parts is what's bothering me. That's what I think makes me look older?

I think the goatee suits you.  I don't think the grey makes you look older, but I do understand how you feel. It's something I struggle with all the time.  It's just easier to reassure someone else than it is to reassure ourselves.  I guess the question we need to ask ourselves is, "If it weren't for these grey hairs, would anyone really mistake me for a 25-year-old?  "  ;)

Since it's bothering you, take it off. In your goatee pic you're looking really unhappy to me.

I like it.  I would (and do) color it.  Maybe not to perfectly eliminate all the grey but I think it looks good.

Goatee looks good with the white.
Of course it makes you look older but in a distinguished way.
I am 37 and my stubble beard is white like yours in the chin currently, and I like the look.
I would recommend against the coloring.
In the end, however, it is not what we think, but what makes you feel better and more comfortable.
