This bartender:
WHO: Dom's co-worker, who tells him not to sleep with the new busboy.
WHAT'S ON HIS FACE: A full beard, y'all.
BONUS POINTS: This guy is losing a lot of hair in the front. Smart move to make up for it with some strong sideburns. Good job, good effort.

This stripper:
WHO: This really hot guy who dances at Patrick's ex-boyfriend's bachelor party.
WHAT'S ON HIS FACE: His mustache-to-beard extension game is very strong.
MINUS POINTS: For probably waxing his junk.

The oncologist Patrick met on OKCupid:
WHO: Probably one of the most annoying characters on the show so far. He makes Patrick feel really awkward on their horrible first date.
WHAT'S ON HIS FACE: A healthy dusting of scruff.
MINUS POINTS: For being such a horrible date.
