I know I have posted before about the negative comments on my beard but Friday night was as bad as it has been. Had gone out for a few drinks after work and now realise that mixing women, alcohol and beards is a bad idea. Guys don't seem bothered about beards but women have very strong feelings and aren't shy about sharing them. I did have a couple of positive comments although one of them did continue by saying it looked better when it was shorter which did cancel out the impact a little.
The negative comments were quite amusing though. A selection is as follows:
You look better without a beard.
Beards are horrible.
Hairy men freak me out.
You look like you should be hanging outside schools.
You look like santa or a russian.
I've decided not to take these personally otherwise I could be crying myself to sleep at nights. I do wonder if women have had some bad beard experiences they don't want to talk about that have provoked such strong feelings of hatred. The beard even got grabbed at one point and I was asked "what is this all about".
It's the first time the beard has been subject to violence. It's also been suggested I have the beard so that I am the centre of attention. Not sure I agree with that but it did seem to be true on Friday.
It's certainly given me some food for thought regarding the future of the beard. Stay tuned for further updates.
The weekend did also tell me that maybe it's time I stopped drinking on Friday & Saturday. It's not often I do this but I'm getting a bit old to spend most of the weekend hungover. It's always fun going out drinking but the spaced out feeling I get the next day isn't conducive for studying or exercise both of which I should be doing. My 30th is approaching rapidly so maybe it's time to act my age.

Hey Lynn, cheers for the support. It's good to know not all women hate beards! I've not quite figured out how to post photo's on the site yet....
Think of a dave grohl beard but ginger and you are close
I can see you as a sort of Russian Santa that hangs around outside schools, maybe if the whole physiotherapy thing doesn't work out, you could do that.
Uncle T,
Fiona will like a beard to tug on, and perhaps colour with marker.
Chicks dig beards and dont't let them tell you otherwise, if I could I would get mr. moffat to grow a big red beard for me !!!
Just keep it trim and kempt, shaggy doesn't work with cufflinks there...Grizzly Adams in court look is kinda out.
xo
Mrs, M
