Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new silver goatee: hot or hell no?


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.

    The problem is not the goatee per se. The problem is that — in Schwarzenegger’s case — it’s placed on an ass, rather than a chin.

    Like someone explicitly stated, The Sperminator, I would bang with a shovel.

    Lather, rinse, bang. Lather, rinse, bang.

    And no fair, Colin Farrell is so hot, there is not enough of him to bang around for all of us. Signed Hornita Maguita.

    kinda hot.. but not really sure just yet

  4. Rhea says:

    Actually, I think it’s not that bad. If the color is not that different from his hair maybe it’s even better. It certainly hides the shape of his mouth area ( which for me look robotic/grim-like ) and makes his face more human. Or maybe I’m watching too many Terminator back in my childhood??? 😀

  5. oaksusu says:

    hell no and barf too.

  6. Dorothy#1 says:

    Yay a Tom Selleck sighting!!!

    • RovingLass says:

      Tom Selleck is still one of my favourites. He is aging well and looks like a man. 🙂

    • tooloose says:

      Yes, Selleck, finally a true hottie..schwartzie is just a plain old man in crisis and gulp tight jeans..ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww my eyes

  7. Eve says:

    I kinda like the “Abraham-Lincoln monstrosity”. I works for some guys:

    There was no one prettier than Tom Selleck circa 1984-88. Oh good gawd, that man was perfection.

    But I do love a trimmed goatee/van dyke.

    Yet, too many men… whom can barely grow enough hair on their face. Seem to embrace them more. (I am looking at you Keanu!)

    Ohhhh but if there was one person I would love to see wearing a little facial hair. Hot Harry on a Horse! Can you image that wonderful ginger goatee?!

  9. Snarky says:

    I love Tom’s dimples. Nom nom.

  10. brin says:

    Hmmmm…close to being the Geezernator.

  11. Agnes says:

    I love my husband’s goatee – he looks hot as hell. But Arnold… It’s an improvement over his usual look, I guess?

  12. Samigirl says:

    Goatees are ok, but I’ll take a full on beard/mustache combo over a little goatee any day. I looooooooooove facial hair.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      If you saw my neighbour, you’d seriously re-think your position. His goatee is SO LONG and straggly it gets tangled in his chest hair (he hardly ever wears a shirt). It’s positively revolting!

      I also like the scruffy look, as long as it’s well groomed.

      • Samigirl says:

        You live next to ZZ TOP?????? Seriously, my husband foes to an actual barber once every two weeks to keep his stuff in check.

  13. samipup says:

    Ah Brad….*sigh*. Arnold; just say NO.

  14. Jessica says:

    Colin yes… Arnold.. a big HELLZ NAW!!!

  15. BW says:

    Tom Selleck for the win.

  16. LittleDeadGirl says:

    He looked much better before. It just looks too stark with the white and the brownish hair on top.

  17. lisa says:

    mmmmmmmmm Brad and Colin….
    YES YES YES..

  18. Liberty says:

    He looks like our cat. Which works on our cat.

  19. Cathy says:

    I’d do Tom Selleck in a hot minute. Message to Tom: Take me I’m yours.

    As for Arnie and the rest of them. No, especially Arnie

  20. Sue says:

    Stache and hair need to match a little more……

  21. sup says:

    umm no. but his hair dye is most convincing. i think a raise for his hairdresser is in order

  22. Jackie O says:

    goatees are incredibly sexy.

    i have NEVER enjoyed arnie on any level…EVER. but, he looks hot in that graduation pic! what the hell happened. if he ditched the dad jeans, stopped dying his hair, he may actually be handsome.

    i think i need to make a doctors appointment. i may have lost my mind.

  23. melmel says:

    LMFAO this made my day

  24. Suzy (from Ontario, Canada) says:

    When I glanced at the picture I first thought he had soap bubbles all over the bottom half of his face! LOL! Too much contrast!

  25. Sillyone says:

    I have always found goatees super delicious, and Colin, Tom and Brad are even more sexy with them. Arnold well he is just gross with or without it.

  26. Celeste says:

    Not a good look for Arnold.

  27. Jazz says:

    Arnie – hell no! Tom Selleck – hell yes!

  28. Fyofeelings says:

    Arnie…smh just NO! it doesn’t even look real on him it looks like some fake facial hair you get from party city for Halloween. Brad, Colin and Tom on the other hand yes!

  29. Nev says:

    Tom Selleck as Magnum PI is prob the sexist man ever on television, even now.

    those shorts!!!

    also Arnold looks great.

    don’t cheat though.

  30. lassie says:

    Something seems off about the tucked in t-shirt and jeans combo, but can’t put my finger on it. Kinda reminds me of Tom Cruise’s usual outfits…

    The silver goatee makes him look like ass.

  31. Skinnybetch says:

    I think the turquoise rings are more tragic than the goatee. . . It’s obvious he’s dressing himself now that Maria is gone.

  32. Another Nina says:

    Um, Patrick is pretty. Just saying…

  33. Ari says:

    Arnold looks really great with a beard.

    The rest of the flock of beards are awesome as well.

  34. Dimebox says:

    I think Arnie looks like an aging, lecherous billy goat. The hair dye is a mistake and so are those high-waisted jeans. And the way his shirt is tucked in brings back harsh memories of him in that terrifying Speedo.

    • Minty says:

      Agree. Thanks a lot for reminding me of that Speedo nightmare. Ugh.

      Hell to the NO on Arnold. That man has a longstanding reputation for sexually-harrassing women. Not in a million years.

      Salt & pepper beards look great on some men. Full-on gray, not so much. It’s like a man with 100% gray pubes. Just not appealing to me. But I’m still young, so there you go.

  35. Jess says:

    I generally don’t like goatees, although Colin’s is hot, but Arnold’s is gross! Esp with the fake hair and skin color. Meanwhile, Tom Selleck is so hot with facial hair – and so not when his face is bare!

  36. Jovia says:

    Did I read somewhere that Arnold and Maria were possibly reconciling?

    Anyway, Brad looks like Mephistopheles. In a good way. 😉 While Arnold just looks meh.

  37. Anguishedcorn says:

    I’m a goatee lover myself, but that looks absolutely ridiculous.

  38. Fred says:

    Arnold should be silver on top as well, so he would be the answer to the question, “what would Santa look like if he was a bodybuilder in his younger years?”

  39. Sarah says:

    Tom Selleck is still yummy… And one of those guys who looks better with facial hair than without.

  40. Lex says:

    Ugh there is nothing sexy about Ahnahld. How his son Patrick turned out so attractive I have yet to figure out.

    And Brad looks awful, too, but he used to be hot.

    Tom can still get it and he’s old enough to be my dad. Mmm.
