I didn't mean for this to be all about Shroomisms' job hunt. It applies to far more than that and not just to Shroomism, either. It applies to everyone. Outward looks make a difference in first impressions and the firsat impression you want to give people is an open and neutral one so that they can feel comfortable and curious, rather than immediately biased in any way. Unless of course you have a mission to deceive or or impress people into a certain direction of the way they think about you.
I had no idea what my major change of outward appearance would do for me or against me because I never really considered it before doing it (that probably relates to my recent discovery, blind to others' views, never considering them). But MAN!! I noticed an immediate change in the way I'm perceived in the first impression ever since the change of outward appearance.
Again, this not about Shroomisms' decision to shave his face at my suggestion, but about why I made the suggestion and it wasn't completely job-related at all.
I hope you understand that I'm not arguing with your valid viewpoints or opinion, just clarifying mine.

This is somewhat true, in that a lot of people judge others by first impressions, but I think one should really just not give a shit what others think. I generally prefer to appear however I feel, and if people act biased in any way, then that's on them.

Hehe, well to an extent...not about EVERYTHING: empathy and compassion are wonderful things but if you let yourself care excessively about the image you're projecting, then I think it could be problematic.

heh.. I did not put this thread up for feedback. I was making a statement. I could really care less about my first impression with people, as people that judge solely on appearance suck.. and are not the type of people I want to be friends with or working for. Plus beard just feels natural.

The bolded, although VERY true, has nothing to do with what I said, I never used the word "solely".

That's not semantics, it changes the whole meaning. I'm sorry you didn't see that.
It's like what happens when people whisper something to each-other in a circle and that last person blurts out what it was supposed to be started as.
Totally different.

I believe that its not what they think...
If you are uncomfortable with the beard because you think THEY think its weird, its only yourself making you uncomfortable.
If anyone judges you differently because you have a beard, then they have a lot of growing up to do.
If you think people are judging you because of your beard, its a simple case of being uncomfortable in your own skin.
Perhaps people want to live those childish non-chalant days of there lives past physical maturity, and if they have a beard, they feel like they somehow have to represent a mindset of adulthood? therefore they think that everyone is judging them because of there facial hair.
blah blah blah!

What is the deal. I use the sharpest razor the best cream, short strokes, and hot water to rinse the razor, and I still have the razor burn line at the bottom of my beard. What the fuck is goin on, mayn? Is there some sort of cure. Most men don't have this

Are you going to the burnin man southeast in three months? It's going to be da shit for us sun dwellers. At least in my Saturn induced positive hysteria, I feel that I'll really get somewhere, there. It's the only time I can take off till fall probably. But how is the lions plains for you.

We will see about things like that! I have a friend who is very into burning man, and he is constantly trying to get me to go.
If I have the funds, anything is possible...
Life has a way of shaping my off time as of late though
