A friggin’ mountain of manly appeal

Based on the Internet. I don’t think women actually like hairy men. Go figure.
As the saying goes, “Go big, or go home.” Joe has a bit of a ways to go before “big” is there.
There is (possibly fictionalised) historical proof of this. Y’know how us Asian dudes grow little or no facial hair? The one guy who grew the longest beard in the time of the Three Kingdoms basically became China’s Chuck Norris.
This guy, Lord Guan Yu (“Guan” is the surname, and it’s pronounced something like “Gwann Yir” according to my mother), was captured by a competent and calculating enemy leader, once. The enemy was so impressed with Guan’s strength and loyalty and beardliness that he refused to imprison the man, and put him to work instead. Didn’t even try to stop Guan from just leaving for home of his own free will, and even bestowed gifts upon him: a swift horse to carry him, and a fabric sheath to protect his beard in the winter.
It’s said that Lord Guan later won an unrelated battle by doing nothing more than unsheathing his beard in front of the enemy general.
I am not making this up.
Sometimes reality is really REALLY weird. There’s always a lot of context hat’s left out of things like this, but I feel like it probably wouldn’t help.
There’s a difference between “hairy men” and having a sexy goatee.
For example, Jonathan Frakes got significantly hotter when he had the goatee. Mmmm…
I approve of your avatar for this comment.
It varies by person. It’s one of those things that you either love or hate.
Me? I love it.
Is it just me, or are these comics getting much more dynamic and interestingly posed? Gosh, look at those shifting camera angles in panels three and four. Not bad at all!
Several years later, Joe helps make “Plastic Manning” the hot new meme on Instagram..
I prefer to read this as Joe being secretly insecure about the small amount of facial hair he has, causing him to come on extra-strong in order to compensate.
Because otherwise, I have to accept that this is a variation of Joe’s usual technique, in which case, how has he managed to ever get laid?
He plays the odds. No matter how many times he strikes out, so long as he scores in the end he wins.
simple. if you ask everyone, ever, eventually you’ll get lucky
But I thought his goal was to get lucky- with. everyone. ever.
I think Joe lied. I don’t think he’s had sex at all!
The unimpressed coed is not going to get joe’d.
