Beard: Virtue or Vice

[facaldo]

What should a bearded person do if his would-be life partner doesn't like his beard??

 

[NeedAUserName]

Negotiate.

 

[The_Prophet]

Negotiate.

yep

 

[Pigeon_Grenade]

shave

 

[Korhal]

Depends.... how much does your beard matter to you relative to this woman? How badly does it bother her? Is it a dealbreaker for her? Is your beard totally friggin, hail from Thorin's Hall sweet? Would she let you keep a goatee, mustache, mutton chops, or something equally ridiculous? All important questions to ask.

Shave it. Then, after a while, let it start to grow back in. Make up some excuse, like you forgot to shave it, if she asks. If she has you shave it again, wait a little while and give it another go.

 

[Omnipotent_Mortal]

Shave it in such a way as to make them give in through embarassment

 

[Cousin_IT]

get a goatie

 

[LewsTherin]

Negotiate.

yep

Seconded. Although it depends on the degree of it, if you have a full-out braided Norse beard I'd just leave it but 5 o'clock shadow grows back fairly quickly

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

shave it, because it will grow back stronger than she could have ever imagined. sometimes i shave mine into a gnarly mustache just to spite the planet earth.

 

[MasterStratus]

If you have a long beard and really enjoy it, then you should negotiate and see if she/he will let you keep a shorter more manageable beard.

 

[Trace2010]

If she's not open to negotiation...shave.

If she's open to negotiation...SHAVE anyway!!

(but make a big fuss about it, like "I would only do this for you- then she thinks you're giving a concession)

 

[Omnipotent_Mortal]

Hide birds in it so your life partner encounters a suprise the next time you can convince her/him to sleep with you.

This is the greatest idea I have ever heard.

 

[The Kind Cannibal]

Dye it a ridiculous/awesome color, then slowly trim it over the span of a week as to savor the beardyness.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Shave it off.

 

[muffincakes]

Hide birds in it so your life partner encounters a suprise the next time you can convince her/him to sleep with you.

Life Partner? That makes it sound like he/she's a fucking Wookie from Star Wars! But yeah, I like the birds thing. Also, hide M&M's so he/she can enjoy a candy hunt through it. That'll make him/her love it

 

[CIA]

Shave one half.

EDIT: Get a handlebar mustache and say its either the beard or this.

 

[PurpleRain]

Grow it bigger! No woman can resist the face forest.

 

[Fatalis67]

Enter the room wearing a full set of viking gear and carrying an axe. Then reveal that the axe is actually a guitar and play a kick-ass, 10-minute long metal guitar solo. You will be so bad ass that either she will fall madly in love with you regardless of the status of your beard, or her head will explode from the sheer amount of awesome, in which case she wasn't good enough for you anyway.

 

[Caliostro]

Negotiate, but if all else fails, shave it.
