| Men over 45 and facial hair
Posted: 9/5/2009 8:50:52 PM | I like the ZZ Top look. I think I mentioned in another thread that when I met my husband, his hair was halfway down his back - and since he was 6'4" that was a lot of hair. He also had a fu manchu type mustache. Sometimes it grew into a beard, sometimes he'd shave it, but the hair was always long and the mustache stayed, no matter what else got shaved.
But I've also had friends and dated guys who had shaved heads, and/or no facial hair. It's what's behind the hair that counts. Either way, it's not any kind of deal breaker or maker for me. | |

Seriously, since Sam doesn't live around here anymore, I'm all for a man with soft hair on his face. Forget the trendy five o'clock shadow look. I have extremely sensitive skin and whiskers will burn and blister my face within just a few good kisses. Not to mention what it does to my thighs . . .
Did I say that?

Posted: 9/6/2009 1:15:13 AM | i am over 45 and have had no facial hair for a while now. I think its a matter of preference, some women like some don't. If a guy is not too stressed about it he should go with whats comfortable for both!!.
Compramise babe!! | |

Posted: 9/6/2009 9:18:49 AM | daffie FYI if your man or any man uses Conditioner on his beard and Mustache it comes out in time super soft and ladies do not get chaffed as much if any. It is all in how the man takes care of his facial hair.
The same with hair in the lower regions to be it men or women.  | |

Posted: 9/6/2009 10:44:59 AM | ^^^^^^^^^New information, Chuck. Thanks for the tip! Does the conditioner thing work to soften stubble too?
Actually my favorite "look" of facial hair on a man is the thin, extremely neat Latin Lover moustache. AGH! Hold me back! Not everyone can pull that off though.
It depends on what suits his face the most, and my sensitive skinned face.
Personally, I've never liked the look of a goatee. Thinking back, my first husband had a goatee. He thought it masked his acne scars/pits but it didn't.
Read somewhere that a man who wears a goatee is replicating his azz on his chin. Do I want to date a butski face? It would depend on the man.

Posted: 9/6/2009 9:32:20 PM | When most of us were in our twenties,that was the style. Look back at pics from then and you will see how many young men at that time actually had facial hair. I think alot of us just got used to having it and it became part of who we are now.  | |

So beware if a man has no facial hair  simples | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 3:34:22 AM | Me I grew my beard the day after I was discharged from the army for two reasons;
1. as a sign of getting away from a regimented life and
2. I happen to live in a climate that carries the world reputation for the highest number of skin cancer in Australia and since I am fair skinned, growing a beard seemed sensible.
I have had my beard since 1982 | |

Thanks for the tip on conditioners. My preference is for no facial hair; but it is tolerable if it is kept well-groomed and minimal. grins.
I have a lot of negative associations with lots of facial hair. It is a negative button pusher for me. I am sure others have positive associations and find it a positive button pusher. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 12:34:41 PM | | Makes me wonder..Why do the Men over 40 all want the facial hair. I prefer to shave every 2 days, since my hair grows awfully slow...I guess the hair on Men compares to Women over 40 is concerned about the body weight | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 1:59:27 PM | Wow - well I dont like facial hair
But was amazed that men grown facial hair, through not wanting to bother with hygiene after they retire, well all I can say is thank god the women over 45 still bother with the bathroom or we would be hearing it from the men soon enough | |

Posted: 9/15/2009 5:57:41 PM | not a nurse: not shaving is not unhygienic, anymore so than having hair on your head.
I've just shaved my beard off after 27 years. I decided to shave as it had mostly gone white and I've been feeling old lately, people tell me I look ten years younger 
I took it off in stages, first a goatee (the look of which I liked as it left the red bits but took off most of the white) neither my wife nor my four daughters even noticed! Visitors to the house noticed straight away, what does that say?
Can't say I'm a fan of shaving, my skin hates blades but it seems to be adapting to electric now.
FYI I grew it in the first place as my girlfriend (now wife) was getting rashes as it grows fast. For those who don't like beards consider this, she used to love being brushed all over with it as its quite soft once its a couple of weeks of growth. Now I have to shave before I can get near her!
Here in Australia I don't see older men growing beards more often. In fact the opposite seems more likely, taking it off. | |

Posted: 9/16/2009 7:50:00 AM | I've had my mustache since I was in the Army. I guess I would feel strange without it. A much earlier post in this thread mentioned that if you use a good conditioner on facial hair, it won't be nearly so "itchy" to those ladies who complained of that. Certainly it is a personal preference, but I've always wondered if I met this really great lady, would I shave it for her? Thing is, on PoF, any lady viewing my profile KNOWS I have the mustache and if she was that opposed to men having facial hair she wouldn't contact me or reply to my contact to begin with, right?
Now, I have dated ladies that I met real-time, that mentioned they thought I'd look better without the mustache and met some who thought it made me look sexy.. *shrug*. Bottom line is that I'd probably would shave it for right lady, but I'd feel a bit naked for a few weeks, I think.
Is asking a man who has facial hair to shave it the same as asking a lady who dyes her hair red to not do so, because you really don't like redheads? (I DO like redheads, btw... and blondes... and brunettes....)
Let me ask the ladies who prefer no facial hair this: Is it a deal-breaker for you? | |

Posted: 9/16/2009 11:42:00 AM | | absolutely not... Hair is such a personal expression...That is one part of a person that should be their own. Besides, the only person I can change is me...I like you as your are, Or why for God's sake invest your time & or mine. | |
