for me, maintaining my facial hair (trimming and shaving the spots that you wish to be hairless) is much more work than just whipping out the shave cream and razor and shaving it all off. I wore a full beard for yrs. and trimmed it almost daily, but still had to shave my neck to eliminate the grizzly Adams look.
It takes time to keep it all neat and trimmed. | |

Posted: 1/10/2009 4:50:00 AM | I have had some form of facial hair since I was 23 I am now 48. Personally I think I look better with it. About 11 yers ago I was about 20 lbs. over weight and yes I thought it covered up my fat face. Working out at the gym and taking better care of myself has shead the weight but I still like my facial hair which by the way I keep very neatly trimed along with my hair. As far as women, Some like it, Some do not.
Oh well I can't be everything to everybody | |

Posted: 4/16/2009 5:36:41 PM | I guess I've had a beard for most of my adult life now. I never ever liked shaving but when I did shave it was more because that seemed what it took to fit in. Shaving was always a chore, a pain and seemingly a waste of time. When I first shaved I had to because I was in the military.
In the very early nineties I just stopped shaving for a couple of weeks on vacation. I liked it! I kept it, trimmed it up and headed back to work. My department manager at the time didn't care for it at all and made a few disparaging remarks. A little later his boss came into our department for a meeting and commented positively on my beard. I never heard another word about it from my manager. LOL I haven't shaved since.
When that job ended I decided to coast for a while and see what I could do for myself. During that time I decided to just let my beard grow and grow. I liked that too. I kept it neat though. It got as long as about nipple level. I had it that way for a while. Then one weekend out sailing I reached into an inner chest pocket for something. When I started zipping my life jacket back up the end of my beard got caught in the zipper. Ouch! After that I trimmed it back a bit to prevent getting caught in the zipper.
Later in the spring it was beginning to get pretty warm. I did find that I could split it down the middle though and let it "vent" to be cooler. Thought it looked a bit too devilish though. Hehe. I cut it way back and have kept it more or less short, relatively speaking, since. Much easier to take care of too. Few or no tangles anymore. Doesn't get caught in stuff. Plenty cool enough. Save lots and lots of time not shaving! Of course I can't save near the amount of crumbs, etc. for snacking later. ROTFLOL
I love a smooth baby face that is not going to give me a wisker burn.
Uh, hello... whisker burn more often happens if the beard is just growing out, as in stubble, or is cut too close. With only a few exceptions, once the beard is long enough the whisker hairs are pliable and much less apt to cause "whisker burn." That's a real beard. Stubble is not a beard. It's just stubble. | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 8:56:34 PM | LOL, with me , it's lazyness, I hate to shave, After 50 yrs I'm tired of shaving..lol
I find myself going from a fumanchoo (90% shave) , to a goatee ( 60% shave) to a beard ( 5% shave) shape the edges. If science could come up with a 100% way of killing the hairs on my face I would do it, except a mustache | |

it's lazyness, I hate to shave, Three cheers for laziness then. I've always been a big fan of the rugged, mountain man look. Masculine...oh yah. Just my opinion... | |

Posted: 6/17/2009 7:46:57 PM | | I like facial hair, always had. That's because in 1949, my parents bought the traditional mahogany motorola of the time and the first image I ever saw on television was Gabby Hayes. The die was cast! | |

Posted: 6/17/2009 8:12:44 PM | Let's see now.
PioneerValley votes for a nice beard.
SpicyNice say "no thanks, baby bottom smooth for me".
Both very nice ladies (or so it seems from the profiles), but for me, I'd have to vote for Pioneer, since I have no intention of losing my beard. I've had it for quite a while, and I'm sort of attached to it. | |

Posted: 6/17/2009 11:46:01 PM | | I am with SpicyNice, men with facial hair are less attractive to me than men without it. It is a personal preference. I wonder who would be the one to compromise if two people really cared for each other? I am hoping I won't have to deal with that, but one thing I feel is that a man prefers a women to be somewhat trim and slim, to be attractive and take care of her appearance, so if the man is expecting that, why can't the woman ask for him to do that one thing that makes him much more attractive to her? | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 7:49:21 AM | | My ex-husband had a beard and mustache and he was meticulous about grooming it, so it was fine. While I do prefer clean cut men, I don't mind facial hair that is well kept. However, if he looks like a caveman and can chew on his facial hair...ick. I'll pass. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 8:29:03 AM | | I had a beard (wore a beard) from sometime in 1978 until after 2000. The beard was fine when I was young. It was not fine when I grew old. It was red when I was young. I shaded my features. I kept it fairly short. As I aged, it turned white. I made my then full face look even fuller. Just did not work. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 5:35:01 PM | ^^^ I will agree - there is nothing handsome or masculine department with the ick factor involved! I do like a nice trimmed beard and mustache preferably without yellowing from nicotine.  | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 6:02:48 PM | | I let mine grow after my discharge from the military, I liked how it looked and most guy's my age were clean shaven so it was different too. Most of the ladies I met liked it, and a few didn't. I dated one who asked me to shave, but before I made a decision we broke up (not because of the beard). The next woman I dated thought it was sexy and told me not to ever shave it off. Now if I meet a woman who doesn't like it, I'll just wait five minutes until I meet a woman who does. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 6:09:01 PM | As far as I think it is just what one gets used to..
being in the military my whole life I just
became comfortable being short haired and
clean shaven.. Now I am so use to it..
that if I do not shave or get a hair cut at
least evey month I feel "uneasy"..
Of course when younger in the sixties and seventies..
I both hated and resented the fact that we were not
allowed facial hair (except a military regulation mustach)
or hair longer then an eighth inch on sides and quater
inch on top.........
Boy how times change..!!

Posted: 6/18/2009 6:47:05 PM | | I've had a beard off and on since I was in my mid-twenties. From my own experience I found that the women who loved facial hair were much more sensual and comfortable with their physical nature. Not all women who like clean shaven are cold fish but I've never met one who likes a beard who wasn't fun. | |

Why must men be clean shaved like a Roman statesman? Why must a woman be slim, trim and attractive? Why is it that men assume it is okay to have their preferences as to what someone they are attracted to should look like, how she should dress and wear her hair, etc., but if a woman has her preferences, she is being restrictive and controlling and not accepting him the way he is. IMO facial hair makes men look older, it is unattractive in general, it is dirty (collects all kinds of bacteria, etc.) and I just do not prefer it or think men look attractive with it. It is no different than men who don't like women of certain shapes and sizes or who wear a certain amount of makeup or do or not color their hair, etc. You know, just get over it. If a woman doesn't like facial hair, she doesn't have to, not anymore than you have to like someone whom you don't find attractive. The whining is so boring. | |

Posted: 7/7/2009 1:54:55 PM | I love facial hair, the man I'm attracted to has to have at least a mustache, goatee or both. Now for beards, I understand the length helps in the winter, but too long is too much. Trimmed short and clean is a definite turn on...
I mean after all, if I'm willing to shave my legs and.......then at least the man could do that much for me, right? lol  | |
