lstormhammer Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 You know, there have been fistfights at conventions over the whole 'females with beards' thing among dwarves. Personally, I like the 'short 'n' curvy' department, myself. But I may be in the minority out there. I'm sure if you do a quick Google Search you'll find something appropriate to what you want in your dwarf women... --LSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivarr Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I think the best line in the Dungeons & Dragons movie adresses this issue...(I understand the movie is bad but...) "What ya need is a good 250 pound dwarf woman...with a beard you can grab onto..." I, however, think that short and curvy with no beard is kinda sexy....especially some of the new reaper dwarven women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffles Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I seriously think some people need to get over this horror of bearded women. I'll bet some of you guys would be surprised at how many real women shave or otherwise remove facial hair to fit in with the modern standard of beauty that demands hairlessness in women. Now they're even advertising a medication to remove unwanted facial hair in women. It's ridiculous. Who decided women have to have smooth faces (and bodies)? I think I'll move to southern India, where the Tamils like their women with monobrows. Anyway, dwarves are fantasy people!! So who cares if their women have beards? Why put our real-world expectations on them? I think it would be kind of cool to have bearded dwarven ladies. Preferably like Terry Pratchett's dwarves, where you can't tell the women from the men (and even the dwarves themselves don't know, because it's rude to ask ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuCulain42 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I'm with the for bearded dwarven women croud. They ain't human so why should they abide by our sense of beauty. Not that the Reaper "short smooth and curvy" version doesn't have appeal, I just don't think that they would appeal to a dwarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugluk69 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Who wants to paint a bearded female dwarf....yuck. Certainly not me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Maybe dwarven ladies are like orcs (though orc-tusks have never managed to come under question from the so-called purists). Maybe some dwarven women have natural facial hair and some naturally don't. Why do I have the feeling that the first sentence above just got me on Unglef's bad side?

Saint of Sinners Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I always thought the whole beard issue was related to the low birth rate cause by an enbalence of estergen and testorone At anyrate I prefer beardless females if for nothing more then being able to face their face.

Nomadik Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Quite a few years ago, my friends and I came to the conclusion that Dwarf women didn't exist, and the male dwarves were asexual and just laid eggs every few years. But the Reaper dwarves are wonderful none the less :) BTW, someone earlier in the thread said: "short sexy fat chick department" ... I dont think sexy fits well with those other words...

Rastl Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 My current D&D 3.5 character is a female dwarven fighter. With beard. And great cleavage. The rule books allow the player to make the choice. The figure I have for her doesn't have the beard but does have the *ahem* other attributes. I'm fine with that. The beard is just part of the character. There is in-game comment on it, particularly when she meets others like in a bar. There's no doubt she's female but it really throws some folks off. And that's great. If I really wanted I could GS a beard onto a female fig but it hasn't really been a problem for me. She's short, thick, well-curved and well-bearded. Woot!

lstormhammer Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 This one's directed to Sniffles, Re: Why women have to be smooth-cheeked. That dicatation came from the same department that said men with facial hair had better be doing Santa impersonations at the mall, or they're going to be considered freaky bikers who can't do a lick of work in their life. Thankfully, I am both bewhiskered and in a high-paying job. So just because your chin is warm in the cold means nothing to your abilities in your chosen profession. But back on topic: If you want whiskered wimmins, then do so. Yes, it's a double-standard in life, but as far as I know, life's not fair. (...anyone else telling you otherwise is selling something. Love that quote...) --LSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matsumoto Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 actually to defend myself: i prefer tall, darker skinned, athletic bellydancer types. paki women suit me fine, as do the tall senoritas and turkannas. the line i used to describe dwarf women is from all things *choke!* and ICP song...

tzor Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I've always been open minded on the issue of dwarven women and beards. Generally I prefer dwarven women with beards, since it forms a kind of ironic symetry with elves who I think should not have facial hair no matter what the gender. I consider this as important as a halfling's hairy bare feet. (Which is to say that I might make a comment about my dissapointment ... my ideas of fantasy get regularly shot down by developers year after year so I'm used to these things.) I also like the idea because it brings an interesting question, can a beard look sexy and feminine? Assuming that you don't have a massive fuzzy unshaven beard as is common among the carnival side shows, I think that a properly trimmed beard can in fact emphasise the feminine side of a female dwarf. Male and female beards may look alike to a non dwarf (just as many male and female top hair styles might look alike to a non human) but among dwarves there would be subtle differences. I've also come to the idea of a hybrid model. Dwarven women normally keep their beards within closed communities, but tend to shave them when working with non dwarves because non dwarves feel odd when someone has both breasts and beard. (And becuase it's risque among the dwarves ... it's like exposing flesh that wasn't meant to be exposed.) A interesting compromise would be a goatee, trimmed short.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and clearly the person you quoted felt otherwise. Oh, Im not saying his opinion is crap or anything; just saying there are more creative ways to portray what he is saying than "short sexy fat chick". Perhaps, "Petite sexy curvaceous chick" would be more appealing to the ear and mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
