Is there anything more low class than a goatee?

Patently erroneous.

The "soulpatch" tends to override even the most pubic of goatees.

I don't know. I can take or leave a goatee and I've worn one myself (I did come of age in the late 1980s, early 1990s afterall), but I can't see how we can call this look the lowest of low class.

I wear a goatee. I doubt that I'm high class though. Then again, I doubt any of you would call me low class in person.

a goatee in new jersey is a mark of culture.

We'd be feeling too sorry for you and want to be nice?

Yeah, shouldn't be so quick to judge people when you don't know their life. My wife wears sunglasses indoors sometimes due to dry eye syndrome and some people probably think she's an ass. But I don't know of any medical condition that requires a ginger jawline beard or wife beater shirt

I always figured those jawline beards were usually worn by people that could not grow a full beard.

Or maybe alopecia? I was looking for images of jawline beards and came across this humorous blog. http://www.worldblogzone.com/2008/12...rd-styles.html I wish I could play with different styles like that. I usually look like I'm trying to grow a goatee because I'm not clean shaven and that's where I mostly grow.

No, you'd be worried that I'd go Jersey on your ass.
