I've worn one ever since from trim to ZZ-Top length. Women seem to fall in three categories on beards to me around here<br />1) Don't like beards<br />2) Want you to have a goatee or other what I consider "non-beardlike facial plumage" or keep it really short<br />3) Ones that like long beards<br /><br />I honestly couldn't tell you if I think there's more 1s or 2s around here but there's enough 3s (and 2s that think they can make me shave it into a goatee eventually) that I can still get dates.<br /><br />Regards from the Pedernales River Basin,<br />Tomtomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230665595988628546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395446173844714571.post-55299551984262017402009-06-08T14:43:14.954-05:002009-06-08T14:43:14.954-05:00It's good to see other's appreciate Paul&#...It's good to see other's appreciate Paul's work as much as I do.

He really does make you feel as though if you saw some of the people he tells about on the street you would know exactly who they are and their life stories. <br /><br />NancyNancy1340https://www.blogger.com/profile/00914834327104409767noreply@blogger.com
