[The Great One]

Question for the girlies of the forum:

I've noticed that a lot of girls refuse to date a man with facial hair. What are your personal thoughts/preferences when it comes to facial hair on a man?

 

[limelight3]

hahah Rouge Eagle and I were talking about this the other day. Some types of facial hair are acceptable, others are not. Here's my classification:

-Scruff is good, though stubble burns hurt like a bitch after you make out with the guy. Still looks good though. Let's you know you're with a man and not a boy.

-Goatees, small moustaches, etc. These can look good. Just don't grow a porn stache, and don't let it get too much beyond this:

That's about my limit.

Full beards are just creepy. Blergh.

It makes me think of the book The Twits where Mr. Twit has food all in his beard from his past meals. yuck. *throws up*

No way it hurts, scratches my face, neck and breasts anywhere they put their face, it feels like a brillo pad not pleasant. INDEED :crazy:

Generally, I GREATLY prefer it, but I recently met a guy that wasn't too bad without.

It's y'all guy's face, do whatever makes you happy. As long as it isn't reminiscent of Grizzly Adams, I don't care much either way.

I like it. ^^ My ex had an awesome goatee that I adored, and I love guys with goatees in general. Stubble is sexy, but can do bad things to sensitive skin. The discomfort is mostly worth it, though. Or maybe I'm being too much of an aesthete. My rule of thumb is: if it looks good on him, pain loses 50% of its importance. If it still sucks, tell him to shave.

Facial hair is so. dam. hot! It's also a lot of fun feeling it in various places. :wink:

 

[Tuttle]

A nicely groomed goatee or a bit stubble almost always catches my eye, so I'm pro male facial hair (if it's done well). Patchy or scraggly facial hair? No, thanks.

Let's you know you're with a man and not a boy.

Mm-hmm. Exactly right. I've got all the softness for the two of us.

 

[Red Panda]

I really like facial hair but not the unshaved type, it has to be long enough to be soft but not too long!

 

[Cauliflower]

Stubble is really nice, as long as it's brown and blond, black and red don't look as good with it.

It doesn't scratch, it actually tickles a little, and it feels nice...

I LOVE men with facial hair. A well groomed beard and mustache is very attractive. Baby face guys turn me off.

 

[amanda32]

Love it. Like the picture of Hugh Jackman's scruff. Perfect.

And I kinda like that it's rough and raw.

 

[mistersir]

Personally, I'm a fan of some stubble if the guy can pull it off.

I am glad to hear this because I am terrible at being clean shaven. I like a bit of stubble. Feels weird without it.

Same except I look ridiculously horrible when ever I go clean shaved. I look three times better with a trimmed beard.

 

[Quin Sabe]

I've pretty well grown my goatee back and it's fairly decent length, I'm thinking about letting it go and putting two little braids/twists or what have you like a pirate for shits and giggles. So yeah I like this thread, lol

 

[iDane]

I'm really fond of facial hair ... A well-kept full beard is especially appealing to me.

 

[openedskittles]

This is good news because my beard is so thick and dark that I get my 5:00 shadow by noon. I usually only shave every other day because electric razors will not cut it and my razor seems to work better with slightly more length to cut. However, three days without a shave and the stubble becomes quite noticeable and at four days I want to get rid of it.

I used to have sideburns like the guitarist from killswitch engage because I could grow them in like 2 weeks, but that didn't last long because huge sideburns always make you look a bit dirty or something and I wanted to look a bit more professional. This was at the begging of freshman year in college and after I shaved them, strangers came up to me and wanted to know what happened. I was apparently "sideburn guy" to quite a few people. It was an experiment and I had my fun. It's not like I'll be able to do that with a job.

 

[HannibalLecter]

Anybody care for these?

I just LOVE big, full, fuzzy soft beards!!!! Like, this kind:

Stubble may look sexy, but doesn't feel so nice.

Clean-shaven and smooth is pleasant and boyish. Yeah, I'm into that.... like in these pictures, only more innocent. Hard to find pics of "my type" of smooth face without them being underage. :sad:

So, to answer your question, I can see myself being kind of indifferent about facial hair. Do whatever you want, and if I love you with a beard, I'll love you just as well without one. Doesn't matter at all.

Older men look slightly better with them, but I'm not going to be selecting my mate based on how he looks. Don't worry about it.
