how important is it?

hmm...well..didnt know i would write this as a post..but then newaz decided to pen it down...well this post is a more of a question to all the ladies out there..

"how important is it to u that the guy be clean shaven??"...


i mean i m a sikh...i have a moustache n a beard(neatly trimmed)....n i have had situations where girls have asked me..y dont u become a cut surd...n shave it all of n all?..n these have been posed by women with whom i have flirted n almost been in relationships with...

for me..i have always stuck to the fact tht i wont loose my identity of being a sikh..what so ever the girl says..but is it tht difficult for the girl to accept a guy for who he is n what he supports on his face..n i have heard the stupidest reasons girls give for asking that from a guy??

i dont knw if this happens internationally or not..but this sure does happen in India....

hmm..so i ll add this line to the post...girls.."what if u were to be asked out by a sikh??would this fact come into picture then??"

so how abt some answers...comon girls...women...ladies..honesty please??

Are you putting conditioner on that moustache? Therein lies the problem. A pokey kiss isn't near as fun as a warm, inviting one. If your moustache is super macho, it may be super picky.

Good morning, Maverick. Jeff used to have a beard and it made my face red kissing him goodnight. I love him clean shaven and scented with Nivea. YUM!

Women love to kiss and not tell and sandpaper rubs are very telling.

Hugs, JJ

maverick said...

@jj...no i dont put conditioner anywhere in my face as of now..dont need to ..not in a relnship as of now..lol..

seriously..being a sikh..tht is something tht comes with the package..its a part of my religion..its a part of who i am...so how can i stop being who i am..i have an identity being a sikh..n i ld like to maintain it...

Nature Nut /JJ Loch said...

Maverick,

You need to keep your look, of course, but use conditioner when you think a kiss is coming on. There are spray ones out there. :D

Think cotton ball soft.

You have me giggling this morn. :D Next thing you know, I'll ask Jeff to grow a moustache.

Hugs, JJ

maverick said...

@jj..lol...i ll keep the conditioner thing in mind..when the need arises :)

lol abt making jeff grow a moustache :)

gypsy said...

watever maverick, one shudnt loose one's identity fr a gal or a boy...

it may be so that as a preferance a gal likes clean shaven boys but when she fells in lve wth sm guy, the cndition wnt b the clean shave, it wont even matter to her...

these are petty things...as far as i m concerned...

remmem the dialouge, jo badal k pyar kare woh kya pyar kare...:P

maverick said...

@sinner...i agree to wat u said...but then i have had these experiences...so my point is why does tht precondition exist before???

Anonymous said...

i would agree with neha here. dont loose your identity for any girl. if she likes you, then be it for your proud identity of being a sikh.

the one who wants you to change, say her to go to hell

maverick said...

@ashu....even i agree with her...but then y does the precondition exist..thts my point.....

Anonymous said...

jo aisi precondition rakhte he, unhe kaho bhad me jao. do you bother ? if u do then why shud u? still if u do then tumhara kuch nahi ho sakta, honestly

maverick said...

@ no i dont bother..i have always made my point clear..n im glad i ve done tht...

ok..i ll edit the post a bit..lets see then

Anonymous said...

if u dint bother, then why write abt it ? **rolling eyes**

maverick said...

@ashu...because i ve experienced this first hand...thts y :)

Anonymous said...

pls explain first hand

maverick said...

@ashu...lol..first hand is being asked by someone to do so....

Keshi said...

Interesting post Mav :)

I hv no probs with ppl's cultures/religions/beliefs etc. But I never really u'stood religious/cultural clothing. Mebbe cos I come from a Buddhist/Hindu background and a very liberal one too.


**i have always stuck to the fact tht i wont loose my identity of being a sikh

I truly respect that but d u HAVE to wear a turban to prove that? Just a qn only.

Also, if I really fall in love with someone, I dun think such things wud matter at all...I look for what in a heart, not whats in his beard or turban lol!

Nice one here Mav!

Keshi.

Keshi said...

**what's in the heart

Keshi.

maverick said...

@keshi..hmmmm

1)cultural/religious clothing well it exists to a certain extent...n its k...even i come from a pretty liberal backgrnd but tht doesnt ve anything to with the religion n cultural clothing thing :)

2)wearing a turban is a part of being who we are..its a part of our identity..its not abt proving anything to anyone :)

btw howdy?

Keshi said...

tnxx Mav!

**even i come from a pretty liberal backgrnd but tht doesnt ve anything to with the religion n cultural clothing thing

ok :)



**..its not abt proving anything to anyone

I can see where ur coming from Mav, but isnt external attire abt PROVING things to others? I guess if we have nothing to prove to others, then we may carry our beliefs in our hearts and actions -we dun need to show it in clothing etc. Atleast thats how I see it. :)


This is just for clarification..not to demean anyone's beliefs/attires. I truly respect everyone else's choicses in life.

tnxx Mav!

Keshi.

Keshi said...

so u wear a turban Mav? I had a Sikh friend at Uni..Ramnik. He got rid of the turban...cos he said that he doesn't care much abt it. I dunno if it's a bad thing according to ur customs?

Keshi.

maverick said...

@keshi...as sikhs..we have long hair..and for generations we have worn the turban to kinda keep it under wraps (putting it bluntly)...so.. tht ways..so in no ways its showing the external attire..its a part of our daily dress up...

well as for ur frnd get ridding of it..i mean its more of a personal decision now..some ppl cant manage..some dont want to manage..i mean with the turban..moustache n beard..u can hardly adapt to the latest facial fashion trends too...lol...but for me facial fashion is not something tht really matters to me :)

maverick said...

@keshi..i wear a turban wen im in formal attire..otherwise i generally put on a cap :D

Keshi said...

oh ok Mav...tnxx for that. I u'stand now :)

Keshi.

maverick said...

@keshi...great :)...so howz ur day goin on?

Keshi said...

good ta. :)

btw I hv another qn for ya..

wud u date (and marry some day) a girl outside ur culture? I mean a non-sikh?

Keshi.

maverick said...

@keshi...yep..i dont give a damn abt tht ...n neither does my family :)

Keshi said...

thats pretty good to hear. Now thats what I call LIBERAL. :)

Aphrodite said...

wow man long series of posts exchange...ic..nd i wld say yes it kind of matters....to a certain extent mav...im pretty liberal too and i know heaps of sikhs who dont sport a turban nd beard or mucchi...at the end..wht matters is being a good person dep down..but these things count tooo...no offense.. ;)

maverick said...

@keshi.i knw that ..lol :D

maverick said...

@abhishek...lol...n he he abt??

maverick said...

wht matters is being a good person dep down..but these things count tooo...no offense.. ;)

none taken..but then u just contradicted urself :)

RADhika said...

naah..not at all.. it doesn't matter at all to me. just that the person should be clean and tidy.. :)

maverick said...

@radhika...thts great to hear :)

Mez said...

If i i love him then nothing else would matter. Absurd people talk about being in love and still crib about such frivilous things and place pre-conditions. Hell then thatz not love either if they can’t accept the person as he is.

My cousin sis is married to a surd, figther pilot that too (just tellin caus u in awe of them) but my jiju is just teh same way as he was before wen they dated. All to do with thinking i guess.

maverick said...

@mez..good to knw ur stand on it.. n thanks for letting me knw...if ur jiju flies a Su30 MKI then let me know..i wanna go check out tht plane :D

Spiky Zora Jones said...

Mav...hum...good question.

I'll ask it with another question.

Would you ask me out if I had a mustache or a beard? I would say most likely...No.

Believe me I have seen woman sporting somewhat of a mustache.

The truth is most women don't care for beards. Mustaches...okay, maybe for a little while. Both maybe for a little while, but most women would prefer a clean shaven man. No bristles to hurt my face when we snuggle or kiss.

I don't think the way a person looks brings them any closer to god...your heart does that, everything else is just ceremonial substance.

It's the way you were taught that holds you to ceremonial subtance.

So the question isn't will they go out with you if you have a beard...will you shave for her.

God will be okay with it. SHE aleady like you, mav. :D

The Mad Girl said...

hahaha! this one's a funny post!
personally I'd like my guy to be clean shaven but hey my dad's bearded and I think he's the handsomest man on earth! so nothing against moustaches and beards as such, so long a they are neatly trimmed and maintained.

Aphrodite said...

oh well...these things count too but other things would be more important ...dint contradict myself..lol

maverick said...

@spiky...hmm..

"Would you ask me out if I had a mustache or a beard?"

ok my question..are women suppose to or identify themselves with moustaches n beards??

"So the question isn't will they go out with you if you have a beard...will you shave for her."

why should i??why should i change my appearance for being with her??i am not asking her to go in for a surgery or anything??

"I don't think the way a person looks brings them any closer to god...your heart does that, everything else is just ceremonial substance."

mayb..but considering i am an Indian..and culture does play an integral part of life here...so its not jus ceremonial...like goin to the church n coming back :)

hope u get my point

maverick said...

@the mad girl....lol..welcome to my blog..thts a diplomatic way of saying "dude please be clean shaven" eh?

maverick said...

@aphrodite...hmm...okie :)

Keshi said...

boo! :)

Keshi.

maverick said...

@keshi...lol....howdy booer :)

Solitaire said...

Honestly, I do not know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never thought about it.

My best friend is a sikh. And if I imagine him asking me out, I only feel like laughing cos he is the funniest surd I have ever know.

Mez said...

Now this one i donno which one he flies. Lol

Unknown said...

If anything this proves you're comfortable with you who are, your beliefs and your values and any woman should be lucky to be with you!

That being said I tend to date/like men that are clean shaven. Less stubble rash.

maverick said...

@solitaire..lol...well lets say some other sikh asks u out then??

maverick said...

@mez..lol..pata karo...n jaldi batao..

maverick said...

@meghan...cool..point taken :)

Lena said...

well as for personal prefernces - i prever guys to be clean shaven. But then thats a different thing when it makes you belong to your own culture. I wouldnt understand girls who would try to change a person they love by telling them to get rid of moustache and a beard. I mean, what the hell, if you love or like someone, why does it bother you what they look like. One has rights to identify with their own culture. And if the girl does not understand it, grrrrrrrrrrr... she is just not worth you :)

maverick said...

@lena...i totally agree with what u say... welcome aboard :)

Gunjan Aylawadi said...

i love d feeling of his stuble on my cheeks...dats all!

maverick said...

@gunj...lol...good :D

IncorrigibleV said...

i'll tell u honestly i have a list... rather used to and it had one of the points sayin that he had to be clean shaven...but then when i fell in love i discounted the very first point on my list.
so i'll only just say when u fall in love, rather when someone wud fall in love with u she wudn't care a damn.
as to why that precondition exists...umm it might be silly but some ppl look good without a beard or a moustache, i dunno maybe when i made that list i was too hung up on how martin henderson looked...:)
and honestly if i make that list again...the revised version will not include that precondition.
oh and i completely agree u shdn't give up what u want to maintain for anybody...girl guy whoever!

Helen said...

Maverick, definitely go with the look with which you most identify, confidence is far more sexy than clean-shaven will EVER be.

maverick said...

@vandita...well u r the first one to spell out the reason from the local gang out here...great...newaz good to hear tht its been striked out of ur list now :)

maverick said...

@helen...thanks...dats wat i have been doing...i am wat i am :)

Diva said...

My man has a mustache and sorta beard, just around his chin and mouth. It's always well kept and I think it's sexy.

maverick said...

@diva..thts nice..good to knw tht :)
