What Do you think about men with thick Black Beards? Cool? Funky? Traditional? Culturally significant? Do you like hairy Spaniards with beards, or do you hate it?
I'm okay with beards, but I hate the sight of men with Pony tails.
Come on guy's & gal's, give us your thought's on the subject, but keep it clean.
these ARE kinda funny, and really intriguing sometimes: A couple of weeks ago I offered a Belgian visitor a second cup of tea and a biscuit, and he told me "I don't want to be like a Dutch, but I'll have some more." I asked what he meant, and he said "You know. Dutch people love anything that's free!" So it's everywhere! BTW: He had a dark, neatly trimmed beard/mustache combo. Nationality aside, I think fur is very nice, if it's well-kept. Men as well as women. My two Euros' worth Reb

I've read the text, and I have to agree with most of it... The only thing that shocked me is that there's a picture of a man with a mexican hat on!! Those are the stereotypes I am afraid of...

jeje most people here in the states think that mexico and spain are twin countries and are very much alike. in fact some people think they are the same country!!!!!! :jeje: that is impossible!! i tell yu it is very funny. even they think the music is the same and the food. i often tell them otherwise. it does kind of make me think where has the education gone in the states? Some one once asked me how did i get euros if i went to spain and not europe? i try not to laough and tell them, ah spain is in europe, then they look at me in a confused way.
it does make me laough tho

holaaaaa... I had the exact same reaction that you did! Why on earth is the cartoon man wearing a Mexican sombrero if the article is talking about Spaniards??!!!
As far as preference for fur... I agree with rebrites. Fur is fine as long as it�s well kept.

Fur well-kept? Women? How should I keep my fur?

How should you keep your fur? Well-fed and brushed, one might answer. As a rule, people-fur should simply be kept clean and trimmed. Each fur-bearer must decide for him/herself just what is best: too little fur may look as bizarre as too much! (Women with arms/legs/"bikini lines" waxed clean seem infantilized to me...as if they never passed puberty! Eeugh!) Men, of course, come in hairless and furry varieties. Extremes like Austin Powers/Dr. Evil are to be avoided. And when it grows out the nose and ears...and when eyebrows go wild? This is another good reason God sent us barbers and little scissors. The sad thing about America is how women's body hair is practically LEGISLATED. Anyone with more fur than a Barbie doll is declared a radical dyke lesbian!
So there you are. Rebekah Furry in all the right places

Hmmm...do you speak, my dear, of YOUR chest hair, or that of an intimate friend? I say do whatever pleases you, so long as it does not involve innocents or dangerous public displays.

No,no, it's not MY chest hair, it's a friend's... you know... she tried to shave it off but it hurted (that's what she said) and now she's got quite a bush there... she is afraid of open necks now...

Ok, I couldn�t just let that go as easy as that. I must however confirm the comment. Dutch people do love things that are free. After you�ve eaten in a restaurant it used to be very common to ask to take away the left overs. Also suger sachets etc... are always being taken. The younger generations might not do it as much as the older generations. It might have something to do with the war, people were very hungry back then and my grandmother, for example would never throw away anything that can be eaten, not even when slightly spoiled. So there you go.

But Hilko... that isn�t free food, that�s food you have paid for! You should have every right to take it home! It�s a common practice in the States to do so too...just not at a "finer" dining establishment.
jejejejeje, gettin a real kick out of this thread. as the furriest/hairiest member of this forum (quite possibly), i cincur that fur is seeeexxxxxxyyyyyy!!!

you TOTALLY read my mind on that one. i was ready yo write the EXACT same thing you did after reading hilko's comment, then i saw yours.
if it is a decent amount of food left on the plate, i ALWAYS take it with me here in spain. with the high cost of dining out these days, you can be sure i'm gettin next days lunch out of the meal too
many years ago when i first came to spain, taking away the leftovers was seen as an odd and "touristy" (mostly north american) thing too do but these days most waiters don't even think twice when you ask to take home the leftovers.
- rent or buy a cell phone from me for your stay in spain, more info at 
- already have a cell phone, get a spanish SIM card for it at
