I have a confession to make: I love goatees. I think they’re hot. I’m not talking about those skinny, weak-looking excuses for goatees that are just lines of hair framing a dude’s chin area. I hate those! I’m not talking about a soul patch or a mustache or one of those Abraham-Lincoln looking monstrosities. I talking about a nice, fully developed goatee, as typified by this lovely photo of Colin Farrell. That just made me go to a nice place for a few moments, so I’ll post that photo here.

So in theory I would like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new goatee. Salt and peper and fully silver goatees are hot on dudes. Let’s gaze at Brad Pitt with a goatee for a brief moment, and imagine it tickling us in various places.

I’m just trying to justify my goatee love and put off the inevitable photo of Arnie. Ready?

Yeah, that wouldn’t do it for most of us. It’s the fact that the curtains don’t match the valance. Plus we know what a scumbag this guy is, as powerful as he is. I’ll say something though, before he dyed his hair orange brown and tried to work some high-waisted pants with a little Muhammad Ali t-shirt tucked in, he was looking pretty good with more natural hair at his son Patrick’s graduation earlier this month. I’m serious. Just imagine you know nothing about this guy, and that you’re old enough to consider it. I probably would, in a decade or so.

Here he is at his daughter Katherine’s USC graduation. Still not bad. I like it trimmed up like that.

Now mustache-heavy Tom Selleck, he does it for me right now. Even though he probably uses Just for Men for Beards. That’s more due to the man than the facial hair of course.
