Beard or no beard?

[lexical]

Shaved my beard for the first time in months and though being clean shaven feels weird, I've been getting some positive feedback on it and am thinking about keeping it like this... what do you guys think? Beard or no?

Beard (excuse the dumb expression lol, it's the most recent pic I have): http://i.imgur.com/Bov3o.jpg

No beard:

[wheat thins are delicious]

I like you with the beard.  Also is there a reason your videos cut off like 20 seconds in?

[=celestica=]

Beard.
Just because I think beards are sexy.

You look like a young attractive latino male with out.
Btw I know how old Hispanic family members can be dude.
I feel your pain lol.

No beard. I always like guys with clean shaven look. Just my personal preference.

They do? Hmm that's the first I've heard of that...

Haha, yeah... explaining this stuff to that side of my family is so hard.
How old do you think I look with/without? I feel like I look younger without but a colleague was telling me that that's just in my head, lol... dressing professionally probably helps there though since she never sees me dressed down

Yeah, I'm starting to think it's more of a personal preference than anything else...

Hispanic people are probably the most judgmental and shady people out there haha.
My family talks about me behind my back all the time and I recently just found out.

I see you in your early twenties with the beard.
And about 19/20 with out.

[ozoozol]

Was going to say, you look older with the beard, but you look good either way.  Whichever you like, you're good to go.

Story of my life! My Hispanic family is so judgmental, it's ridiculous. When someone gains a few lbs it's all they'll talk about. My grandma told me they don't talk about me but I have a hard time believing that given how they get down on gossip.

Do you feel like you can be around your Hispanic family comfortably? I feel ok with them here but don't think I'd be comfortable in Honduras again...

Oh and btw a beard will age literally anyone.

You don't have a baby face. You have a pretty chiseled one, with complementary big brown eyes

[=celestica=]

Oh my family gossips alllllll the time.
Gossip and loteria, then more gossip.
All they do when we all get together lol.

I can be around them because my family consists of mostly women younger than 35.
They're young ish and are a bit more understanding.
My grandma is so traditional though. She's just confused with me lol
She realizes I was always different than my male cousins growing up.
But she doesn't think that means I'm a girl.
It took her a while but she's fine with seeing me present female.

But female pronouns?
you can forget about that .

Your beard is sexy >.< lulz. But you should've trimmed it a little.

I'm suddenly unable to get videos to play. Don't know why. But I also couldn't get a good look at the still because it isn't big enough for me to judge.

Beard, because beards are awesome.

Ha I was thinking the same about myself posting--it's a rare sighting anymore!

Please don't take this the wrong way, lexical, but the beard was sexy.  I would definitely go back to it.

Wow, so much this... especially the recognizing the difference from cousins but not connecting that with gender identity issues. Glad she's come around to your female presentation though. It looks so natural on you which I'm sure helps her -- nice avatar pic btw, you look great

Ah... sorry about that.

Here's a gpoy close up beard pic heh: http://i.imgur.com/ih3LQ.jpg

Posting as links because when I embed them they get all out of proportion...

Haha, thanks for posting guys... glad I could bring ya out of the woodwork 

I'm wondering if more beard lovers are men. I'm definitely noticing a pattern of more women over men preferring a clean shaven look... could just be my experience though

[GentlemanRDP]

I like the beard, granted...I kinda have a thing for beards xD

[Simon]

I'd go with the beard. It looks good on you.

[=celestica=]

Alex i hope you dont take it the wrong way everyone is saying facial hair haha.
We're pretty much saying you can grow a very nice beard, that even cis guys would be jealous of.
So stick with it, because you do look good like that.

[Mosaic dude]

I like the beard.  It's hot.

[Kevin Peña]

I like beards, but the one in that picture looked too unkempt. Maybe a light beard would be better? I always liked that scruffy look.
