Do I like you, or do I just like your face?

Do you ever find yourself checking out a guy and thinking "my, you are handsome-and-then-some", but then find that the double-take ruins it?

Maybe it's the double-take itself that rattles the brain, but I have another theory.

My roommate and I were watching a video of a friends band recently and found ourselves staring at two guys in the video - both bearded, both musicians. "What a double-whammy of manliness" we were thinking.

Then we turned to eachother, partly because we were thinking that we wanted to go for the same guy (again - which is a huge mistake and probably a good idea for another post), and partly because we were questioning our taste.

But the real question we found ourself asking in unison was...

Were they really good looking, or were we just blinded by the beard?

Speaking of facial hair...

The days of baby-faced boys are numbered.

Guys just look good with beards. There’s something about the manly ruggedness that a face full of hair brings to the table. Think about it ladies. Even the average (or the not-so-average-Joe) can be walking down the street, and might get a quick glance. But the moment Joe becomes Bearded Joe, that glance turns into a double-take from the ladies, and a nod of approval from the gents.
Take that Zac Efron. Beards are back. Just like plaid. And it’s a fact.

Speaking of facial hair. I have to give props to one young chap I saw on the weekend. You get five mustache twirls out of five. (I may be feeling generous today, but that was one generous mustach-eo).


Note: To all tween / pre-pubescent young men.
If some reason any pre-pubescent boys are reading this (you never know with the internet these days), please don't attempt facial hair. You are not men…yet. Those little top-lip stashes aren’t going to win over the ladies. Kool-aid stashes are more age appropriate.
