Isn't the shaved head and monkey butt over? What can we do to speed its demise?
Post by: Jamisjockey on January 10, 2006, 07:03:05 AM
My skin is too sensitive to shave everyday, but I do at least thrice a week, and keep a 'boy' cut length haircut. I tried to get the last 'stylist' to put a high and tight on my 2 year old, but she didn't know how. Instead, he too got a boy's cut.

As for the hair on the head, its now getting thin enough to warrant just shaving it all off and being done with it. Of course, I still hate shaving, so.....

Just back from the courthouse with this vital observation on men's fashion. It was a sea of monkey butts wherever I turned.

Why is it that every time you post an observation on fashion, I get to wondering if whatever fashion trend you're critiquing resulted in a bad day at work?

A goatee covering up unsightly neck fat. Somehow, for the past month I've been sticking to my resolution to go the gym at least 4-5 times a week, so hopefully the fat and the goatee will be gone in about two more months.

Just wish this lingering fad would fade. However, I may regret what replaces it!

Justin, not a bad day, it just drives me nuts that everyone looks the same! Shaved head and monkey butt, every where I turn. This look is soooo mid-90s.

You forgot that most of those people have their jeans hanging off their ass too. Just wish this lingering fad would fade. However, I may regret what replaces it!
Oh and shoes that cost more than their "jewelry".

Just gotta find a black Trans-Am and some AC/DC and Skynyrd 8 tracks to go with it.

Forget the goatee-it's that damn "soul patch" that needs to go! Why any guy would think that a strip of hair that looks like his girlfriend's, uh, bikini line, is beyond me.

Damn.. you sure do not like those goatees do you? I have one most of the year, except during deer hunting season when I have a full beard, probably not like me either. I don't have a shaved head but my pony tail is past the half way point on my back.

I've had a mustached for nigh on to 20 years. No more. Hate shaving too but would rather shave than have itchy whiskers.
Lot's of the guys I work with jumped on teh goatee wagon. Most had never had facial hair before. Most were a few years late
to really be fashionable. (Trends arrive late out here)
What ever happened to individuality. Why would everyone want to look the same?
Look around you folks, if "everyone" is doing it, it's too late to be fashionable and probably wasn't a good idea in the first place.

Nearly everyone around me has two ears. Should I cut one off?
I don't wear it to look "cool like everybody else"; I wear it because it looks good on me

Don't be silly. There is a difference between cultivating facial hair as every one else, and bodily dismemberment.Smoke

I am me. Never much cared for what anyone else thought. Sometimes fashions meet up with me, go away, come back. Live long enough this will happen to you too.
I am 50. I last shaved my upper lip when I was 20. Mustache has been shorter and thinner, and has been a full blown Fu-Manchu.
I graduated HS in '73. Hey, long hair was the thing, mine has been ponytailed to shorter. Been longer for a few years...depending of definition of "long". It is longer than when Preacherman or Larry met me. I am letting it grow. Finally had it touched up to grow as I want it too. I can pull back over ears if want. The back in way over the collar and past shoulder.
With a Cowboy hat - I resemble Alan Jackson. I really do in a muddy field in a pick'em truck. *grin*.
Here is the deal. Besides being a Rebel. My kahkis,( cuffed and uncuffed) long sleeve , button down collared Oxford shirts have never gone out of style. Nor has my cordovan penny loafers, and Blue Blazer. Add jeans and tennis shoes. Granted more in style than others...just classic.
In another life - I found being the way I am "resourceful". I have walked into a place with ponytail out, no jacket. Get what I came to get, ponytail inside the jacket (which was in a dime store sack) and left without being tailed.
Had a bad situation once. I am dirty blond, dark moustache , just now getting some gray in moustache, no gray in my head hair.
Anywho things got bad, serious bad. So we used some gray stuff they use in theatres, and my hair was gray, mustache too, ponytail undone and I look like Hannibal Lector. Army field jacket and I am "must be a disgruntled 'Nam Vet.
I used disguises. Part of that other life. I may or not be in a need to do so again...besides, I am 50, didnt' get red Ferrari or hot babe...must be middle age crazy - right? Lots of guys my age are ...must be rebels too.
Boy is Sandy , Larry and Preacher gonna be shocked when they see me again. Betcha I can walk right by and s not be recognized
Might be the idea of why. .

I saw one of my good friends who I had not seen since we defended a murder together--he has a monkey butt! I nearly collasped on the tile.
So much for good Yankee propriety!

Alas, will it help with the ladies???
I think it's like anything else. Some chicks really dig it and others can't stand it. Sort of like long or short hair. Tall or short. Big or skinny. A lot of women like one and don't care much for the other. Somewhere in the middle is acceptable to most, but not necessarily attractive to many. I grew my hair Jesus-long and had a goatee for awhile when I was in school (before it was popular). I had girls I hardly knew tell me how great I looked, while others that had known me a long time asked me why I grew it (polite way of telling me they thought it looked stupid). I've rarely, if ever, been complemented by a female on a short haircut. Maybe my head is just ugly and looks better covered up. I now have short hair in the summer, slightly longer hair in the winter and a three day old beard every Monday morning before I shave.I think the goatee has actually gone away somewhat down here. You still see them, but not on every other guy like they were a few years back. I never really cared whether people (guys) had them or didn't, so I probably don't notice them that much.

Some of us can't - take away my razor for a month, and I'll still have a natural goatee. Got a problem with that?
Post by: Fjolnirsson on August 10, 2006, 07:39:44 PM
Right now, my hair is past my shoulders , and the goatee is back. Around here, the trend seems to be the clean shaven look, or else the wild mountain man style.

My reply was, "No, and I recommend you either shave yours off or else just go ahead and get yourself a set of bongos and a beret and become a beatnik." Got a great laugh from everyone around me (if you saw a picture of the guy you would know why), but probably didn't do my career much good. :D

El T, I've had a cheesey goatee for many years. Back in '94 or so, I went for weeks without shaving. My wife made a remark about how good it looked (and also said that a lot of guys who are losing their hair grow beards; thanks a lot).
Well, now she says that it just makes me look old.
