Stubble Trouble

I really do look stupid with either a beard or moustache. Mind you, I’ve never grown a full one – only the beginnings of a moustache before deciding I looked like a right idiot. Nope, my face doesn’t suit such ticklesome facial growths.

However, one of my few bodily traits that does appear to show some form of interest from the ladies is my ability to grow good stubble. I discovered this one weekend whilst working in Australia when I couldn’t be bothered shaving. So imagine my surprise when I received the odd compliment or two, although two days growth appears to be the optimum level before that idiotic look sets in again.

And my current Match.com profile picture is living proof of this. My previous picture with the clean shaven face look was generating hardly any interest, whilst the all new stubble look has had plenty of viewers - but alas no takers so far.

So taking this level of interest into consideration I’m desperately trying to keep my stubble at a suitable length. But it’s not as easy as it first sounds as I only seem to be able to cut myself, form bald patches or end up with uneven lengths. Now I look like a right idiot. I think I sense a pattern developing.
