I shaved off my beard today... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

AKA · 07-06-2003, 01:17 AM

...per my parents request for a family portrait we had taken today. "Just this once," they asked, "Could you get rid of it? It will grow back!"

So I drove back to my house and shaved it off, after having it for about a year. You know what? I have to concede, they were right. I look better without it. I think I'll keep the clean-shaven look for awhile.

The only drawback is that I look sixteen now...

Anyway, discuss fashion advice you reluctantly took, only to be pleasantly surprised by you taste.

Last January I spontaneously shaved off my goatee and mutton chops. I don't know why. Several teachers at my school said I looked a lot different without it and one sophomore said that I looked much better. I quickly grew them back and I still wear them today.

LOL you got to it before me!!

My dad wanted me to grow my hair out, but my mom wanted me to chop it all off. I followed my mom's advice, then stopped doing that. It looked awful, so now I listen to my dad.

Were you like me, and thought you looked better with your beard? I've seen a picture of you with no facial hair; I bet the beard made you look quite distinguished.

I'm female, so I obviously never had a beard to shave! My dad has had a beard and mustache ever since I have been born (almost 20 years) or maybe longer and he's never shaved it off!! I always ask him if he ever would and he never does. Well, I'm used to it, but I wish I could see him without it. He does look a little young for his age (he's 51, but looks between 40 and 45), but i'm sure he would look even younger without the beard!

I always love when you shave your beard or cut your hair, your friends and family tell you how wonderful you look now.

Was I a hideous freak before? And if so, why didn't anyone sit me down and tell me how crappy I looked before the trip to the barber?

I have been letting my hair grow out for a few months now. I can see the look on my Mother's face now...

Max Whittaker · 07-06-2003, 09:49 PM

I want to let my hair grow out. My mom think I'll look like a hoodlum! I told her I don't care what others think. She says that she does.

I love that women but sometimes she can drive me nuts!

Oh Yeah! The beard was really working for me. I was actually planning to go for the Brad Pitt/Mountain Man look, but my parents didnt like that idea too much.

I shaved my legs for like the first time in bout a week haha kinda dirty, but I havent been going outside, I go to w ork and I have to wear long pants so I dont care lol

AKA · 07-06-2003, 11:13 PM

It just won't stop. Today, I decided to crop my formerly shoulder-length hair. Now it's 1/2 an inch long.

Nobody's going to recognize me at work tomorrow.

I cut about 3 inches off of my hair about 3 months ago. I hate it. I just wish it would grow back! It's already grown about halfway back, but it's so many different lengths. I won't be cutting it off any time soon.

Crimson and Clover · 07-06-2003, 11:19 PM
