Dont really care what others think about my appearance! With that said, Ive had a buzz top since my first son was born, had hair down to my *** and a full beard. These days I usually run a handlebar or a goatie. Hair was being a real pain in the ***. Much easier now. Oh yeah my oldest son is almost 20.

 

Still have my long hair and goatee

at some point when I start bading and have a skullet... i'll shave my head

 

F*ck it at my age and I still shed more than the damn dog I'll flaunt it on the hair part and the goatee hides a couple real cool scar's on the chin from younger days .

 

Basically, ladies and pussies worry about grooming long hair, and shaving is just too damn much trouble.

 

I started wearing the 'stache and goatee at 16 so I could get into bars and get served easier, the bald look started in 95 while doing a stretch in the pen. . . . . 5 razors cost $7.50, hair cut cost $10.00, was not hard to figure out that one. lately I have been just using clippers with no guard (VERY SHORT BUZZ) and maybe shaving on weekends

 

It also got real popular about the time drug testing by hair sample started becoming the standard pre employment test instead of pissing in a bottle for big companies here in Ca. . Almost to the day when our plant started using hair sample testing almost every new hire that came through the doors particularly the younger ones were a cue ball .

 

Cause its hard to tell the honeys at the bar your only 35 with a full head of salt and pepper......I easily pass for 30 something with no hair.

 

I think the "thug" look has about run its course . . .

 

I started wearing the bald look because I had to. Kind of a double whammy when I started going bald and joined the military at the same time. I wear a full beard when I can on leave now. Still serving so not too many opportunities. My wife prefers the bearded look even with a bald head and so do I. I know you said it looks goofy but, it works for me.

 

Dude bar bimbos are like cats , all you have to do is peak their curiosity with the proper innuendos and some nasty eye contact and they will go through all kinda gyrations trying to find out if it's true or not . The ones who don't have a father things going on have all heard the older guy myth and long hair & the goatee played real well for the Bad Boy image grey streaks and all . I finally quit the college girls in my late 40's , talking to them after bumping uglies all nite and the booze had worn off was getting to be more work that the trim was worth .
