a theory on fat people and facial hair
 

I've always felt that faces with beards tend to look thinner than clean-shaven faces. I was discussing this with a few other large-statured men, and we all feel that our faces appear thinner with facial hair than without, mostly because the hair covers up things like double chins.

The opinion among women, however, seems to be split. Some say it gives a thinner appearance, some say it doesn't and some say it varies from person to person. I've personally have more girls tell me I look better "scruffy".

What are your thoughts on this? I'd especially like to hear from the girls of oot.

Here is me clean shaven: (disregard the troll)

Here is me today, with about 4 weeks of growth: (note: my hair is usually gelled back, and I never wear my glasses outside)

For the love of god man, shave your face.

i always assumed fat people had facial hair because they were too lazy to shave, just as they are too lazy to not be fat.

First impression here in these picks is the beard makes you look thinner.

Note: I like the first pic better though.

May be true some of the time.

OTOH, I had an aunt, god rest her soul, who I closely resembled - and she was an objectivly ugly woman.

Ok, you and Dids are now on the health-watch list. Eat less, exercise more, for the love of god.
