MEN ONLY THREAD part two


Recommended Posts

Anyone participating in Movember? I want to but my wife doesn't like it when I have facial hair (though I tend to grow it out about once a year just for a change of pace). I have done the beard a few times, and even a goatee, I think it will be intersesting to try a moustache.

I can't grow a beard. At all. The stubble I do have takes weeks to grown in.

Ah, absolutely not. One of these days. But I think if I grew a month-long beard nobody in my community would respect me anymore. Dominicans are very conscious of appearance and almost always clean-shaven. #peacecorpsproblems

I am currently bearding in preparation as I don't want to be growing in just a stache starting Nov 1. My wife loves the way my facial hair looks, just hates the feel of it, so I tend to go clean shaven most of the year. On the flip side, I hate having a beard in the summer but love it in the winter, so I'm thinking of going with a cycle thta supports that.

Also, one of my bets buddies is in advertising and is organizing a Movember barcrawl where all participants must have a mustache (women where fake ones). We're also doing a 5k on 12/1, I believe at the end of which the stache gets shaven off.

Movember bar crawl? Mustache 5k?

Those both sound fantastic.

That reminds me, I should probably try running more than a mile at once some point before that thing...

bigm your lucky, I wish I didn't have to shave every day.

As for Movember, I don't particularly like the feeling of being unshaved, after two or three days it is highly irritating to me.

The neck beard does this to me, I have to shave it after 3 days or it gets really itchy. I am currently growing in the following, but with chin hair, for this reason.

Also found out I have to start Movember clean shaven, so this beard is not serving it's purpose. Might keep rocking it until Nov 1 though, really enjoying it.

I signed up on the official site, we should start a NF team.

I'm planning on taking a pic of the mustache each day of the month.

Movember is all about mustache only, you aren't allowed a beard. Army?

UPS; No beard, no visible tattoos, hair can't touch the back of the neck or be over the ears, and no visible piercings. So just about like the Army, we just don't have to have our hair high-and-tight, or screaming eagle.

Site is pretty self explanatory. You can join a team or create one during the sign up process or later in the profile you make. There are donation buttons on your profile, so you can click it yourself and donate or send others the link so that they can donate.

You can have other facial hair, but there has to be a clear separation of mustache and anything else. i.e. - Corey's pic doesn't count because the beard attaches to the Mo.

Nope, has to be stache only for Movember. That is defined as the mo does not connect to you sideburns or your chin. I'm going pure and having no facial hair other than the mo. The whole point is to wear facial hair that makes people go "WTF is he doing?" and you reply "It's for prostate and testicular cancer awareness, check out this site!". If it's just normal facial hair, the first part never happens.

Almost everyone around here who participates goes with the handlebar mustache which to me is kind of a cop out. IMHO a big part of Movember is making a commitment and show fraternity for a cause, it's not Halloween. I went with the traditional Tom Sellek last year and it was painful. It made me look REALLY pervy, but it's for charity so I rolled with it...unfortunately I have a team photo with my son's team where I'm sporting it to remind me how bad it was. Nice one coach!

I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to go with. My biggest problem is that I have trouble growing hair in the middle of my upper lip, it only likes growing in once it gets to the nostrils, so I end up with a gap in the middle.

FINE! You've talked me into it. Normal stash only. ( I will be stubbling the rest though). *sigh*

Can't wait to tom selleck it out.

Hey speaking of...anyone notice how what was manly in the late 70s and early 80s (see Tom Selleck, i.e. hairy chest and stash and such) is considered sleazy now? What's the deal here?
