Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.

The beard has come and gone and come again. It hasn't gotten to the level it was at during grow number one, though. Up until Friday, I had a girlfriend who liked the way it felt on her; made her giggle, so I let it grow.
It's not been so blasted uncomfortable the second/third time around.

Funny thing about the social filter thing: Occasionally, I frequent this coffee shop downtown. There's this hipster broad who works there, and no matter how nice/funny/friendly I may be feeling and acting, I never got the time of day from this woman; crusty attitude, and that's it. Fine. No skin off my ass, coz I'll be just as happy/funny/friendly when I step away from the counter. My day will be great, and hers will stay at the self imposed level of suck at which she like to maintain herself.

Then I grew the beard.
Right around its peak, I went in for some study time, went to the counter to order some food, and she was ALL SMILES and flirts and good vibes.

I went out to a bar a few days later, and she was there... along with her gaggle of bearded, Portland hipster friends. Apparently having your face covered with man-fur is a ticket into some sort of elite social club amongst those "in the know."

I shaved soon after, and haven't been back to the coffee shop yet.

For some inexplicable reason, my beard makes strangers want to talk to me.

How does having a giant beard and curly mustache take the edge OFF my prickly personality.

No joke, people will get up, walk across a restaurant just to thank me for having a beard. It is the strangest goddamn thing.

My beard makes me less of an overt asshole... Fuckin' bizarre.

Perhaps it is because they cant see the muscles in my jaw wrestling around in there, like squirrels in a burlap sack, as I clench my teeth while doing my best to resist the urge to grab the very table we are sitting at and beat our bitchy server to death with it while I wait to have my water refilled and she chews her gum obnoxiously like an inattentive bovine whore.

...

Yeah, it's probably that.

It's true, happened to me a few times. Another odd phenomenon... a lot of women I know tell me the beard is awful, I'm so much better looking without it and I should shave it off... but they can't keep their hands off it! Think I'll keep it for a while longer. :lol:

I get the same thing. It's probably because they can't grow one, so there is at least a morbid curiosity about it. And yeah, they can't seem to keep their hand out of it. Strangers even. People, especially women, just think it's acceptable to touch it. Huge invasion of personal space and boundaries. (Not ALWAYS a bad thing) Yet if I were to just reach out and run my hands through their hair or over their tits, it would be totally unacceptable.

Don't give up, Goose. The first few weeks are a bitch and a half. I'm thinking I might be due to grow the fur back because I only shave avary 4-5 days everywhere and by day 4 people start asking if I;m growing one.

I hate shaving, but shaving beards suck even more, but Frau Zer0 hates beards. Life's never easy for me w/ beards.

Hell, I don't know. I need to get some tacos first and think about it.

Funny, right around that time my old cat taps me on the chin with his paw to let him out. If I'm more comatose, he ever so gently and subtly uses a claw to get my attention. A 1 month beard is like kevlar to him, which, to my chhagrin, brings on more purposefully-extended claws. :/
