[Closed] The fairer sexes attitude to facial hair

spikey on the laydeez faces when sucking the air out their lungs or 'kissing' as i've heard some namby pamby girlyboys calling it.

its either got to be clean shaven, or long enough not to be spikey apparently.

My missus likes beards 🙂

*in STW fashion, ignores OP, comments on Title*

most of them dont seem to notice they have it, but if you dare to point out the ones with 'tashes, they get really uppity.

"sex's"

Don't really notice, I've had mine for so long.
I know Philconsqinchoiulous likes em though 😉

i do have a thing for your sideboards debz 😀

i've managed to slowly trim mine so its no longer than a grade one all over at any point, mrsconsequence isn't happy but has gotten used to it

as a long standing slap head its the only thing i can change , it goes from full winter cover to trimmed n shaped to goatee . MrsbeanZ prefers me with a short neat beard .

my ex hated beards, small trimmed ones were ok but not beards, so when when we split up immediately grew a massive beard 🙂

To be honest the novelty wears off after a bit, they become itchy and food gets stuck ha ha

But I don't think you know yourself as a man unless you've grown a massive beard 🙂

My SO wasnt keen, but Im pretty hairy in general and shes gotten used to it and now likes the whole beard thing.

[i]MrsbeanZ prefers me with a short neat beard . [/i]

She prefers me clean shaven. And I ain't talking about my chin 😉

I maintain a constant 'slightly longer than stubbly look' which she likes. She has said no to a god beard though.

I am bearded. I once shaved it off, and was promptly asked to grow it back.

I don't think she likes my face.

I shave regular but she prefers me unshaven for a few days, generally starts complaining just as I'm beginning to get into it.

I'm forever 'tweeking' my facial hair. I've had full grown beard, goatee and most recently the Johnny Depp style faint moustache and chin hair (sadly without looking anything like Mr Depp much to my wife's disappointment).

The mrs doesnt like me being clean shaven and if its too long it doesnt give the appropriate 'roughness' coz it goes all soft and tickly.

My wife hates it if my stubble evolves into a beard ... really, really dislikes it.

My mates love it, cause they can then take the pi55, saying I look like Michael Evis or Henry VIII.

I get the angry glares as soon as it reaches the 'scratchy' stage.

Who gives a **** what the fairer sex thinks? That sort of behaviour and thinking sounds really gay to me.

Full beard. Missus hates it if I shave or trim it too short. Even the women at work said I look better with a beard.

I suspect boxfish has hit the nail on the head - women must really not like my face..

Ok Yeti. Fair enough. I'll rephrase it. Does your boyfriend like your beard? 😉

No he hates her.

You do it from time to time because.... well... just because you can.

Not me. 35 years old and don't seem to have passed puberty yet. Which could explain why I act like a 12 year old most of the time.

I'd kill to be able to grow proper Elvis sideburns...

My better half says I look 12 when I shave... she doesn't like my naked face. 😉

i look 12 even with a beard.... as frustrating as that is now, i'll be thankful when i get to deadlydarcy's age and look better than he does.

I'm never clean shaven. A trim with a beard trimmer on a low setting once a week and that's it.

Missus prefers the rough look.

You need to get on with it Philly. So far Bravissimo hasn't had much competition ...

*swoons*

no matter how hard i try i can only grow older at the same rate as him... good thing is that as i get sexier and sexier, he gets greyer and closer to being a dad. when he becomes a dad i fully expect him to put on 5 stone and look like a flump.

So... how many of you lot are sporting ... Bradley-esque buggers grips

Crucially, such things only have an effect on your appearance rather than anything functional.

Immac? 😉

If you want to see what you look like with a beard, get yer missus to do a handstand in front of the mirror, naked, then place your chin stategically...hey presto!

This only works if there's a proper growler there.

My wife is happy for me to make attempts at beards. Until we engage in grown-up games, then she hates them.

a google images search for 'growler' is much less amusing than i assumed it would be 😥

A growler...

[img] [/img]

The best ones are from the farm shop at Westmorland Services. I shall be getting a job lot this weekend 😀

Shall I get you one Philly. I've long suspected you've lusted after my growler

Not a fan of the old facial fur I must say. Onzadog decided to grow a beard once just to annoy his stupid ex-boss and I didn't enjoy living with it evenings and weekends!

To my dismay there's also a lot of beardery going on where I work - one guy especially loves his hideous unkempt straggly chinmonstrosity and wears it like some kind of badge of masculinity. Even if he does sometimes get random bits of food stuck in it. Yeurch.

Don't like them for aforementioned food velcro reasons but they also just seem to me to be a bit tatty and sweaty and aging (no offence to beardies, just IMHO)

Seeing as how this is a conversation about what I think about Binners 'beard' I presume I'm allowed an opinion....

.....in fact that it.... I'm allowed an opinion.... I don't like facial hair, its fairly simple. I wouldn't have started going out with someone who had facial hair and don't expect to suddenly be faced with it four years down the line.

You can't 'just get used to it' you either like something and find it attractive or your don't, it prickles it gives me a rash round my mouth and it looks scruffy.

*awaits the usual stream of how dare you, you're just a woman, woman the **** up rants*

Its simple I don't like facial hair, I'm allowed an option, and I'm also allowed to voice it, what he does is up to him, he just can't expect to ever get snogged again....

.... now what's that 'toyboy' dating site called again.....*steps off soap box*

Hmm...

*eyes Jaffa suspiciously*

so, let me get this straight.... you don't find my beard attractive?

[img] [/img]

I just don't find facial hair attractive not even on Brad Pitt or anyone like that when they grow it.... I don't know why its just what think...

Ps: has the 72 gone from the end of my name are we not allowed numbers any more??????

What happened bagpuss?

I don't know??????? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah wait a min I perhaps joined before and forgot so I have 2 log in's.... EEK they'll set the dogs on me won't they?

*furiously reports bagpuss for multiple log-ins*

That's better I'll delete the other one must be from years ago and for some reason its the one that popped in my head!

ps: I still don't like beards on this profile either 😛

me and my beard yesterday in the sun:

Until we engage in grown-up games

Once a week with a beard trimmer here, but more accurately it's long stubble than a beard.

Loving the reference to a God beard above though, very descriptive!

As the wife beat me to this thread, I'll say nothing. Guess I would have found out in tonight's ****OS update.

Every one of my ex's has much preferred me to be clean shaved. Which often caused issues, cos I'm a lazy bugger, and hate shaving!

I'm far from the hairiest man in the world, and though I can grow a proper beard as opposed to bumfluff like some of you blondies (no names eh! 😉 ), it does take longer than most men. So I normally had 3/4 days of stubble, which was enough to be very irritating apparently. Anyway...

The biggest thing I find is that with facial hair, I look maybe in my mid-late 20's (I'm actually 32), when I'm clean shaven I look about 21 tops! Which is cool in many respects, but has its drawbacks too.

Grew a beard for a while the other week, went out into town for a couple of hours to see a mate for his GF's birthday, and got chatting to a couple of her (very young) friends. Both were immediately very complimentary on how a beard suited me! Obviously not all women are the same...

Oh, and have had a pair of bugger grips, sadly not as meaty as Bradley's but they still provide a reasonable grabbing point, ever since I was able to grow them. For some reason I really can't abide men not having some kind of burners, it looks wrong!

I have no issues with sideys! Just Beards and Tashes 😛

Unless you look like a stunning model, wimin wont like you anyway. Even the fat or slightly overweight/worn out ones seem to think they deserve better looking men than they deserve.

So do whatever you want. Unshaven I doubt any of us were a catch anyway.

You're wrong Hora.....

Its nothing to do with anything you've just said its just a personal preference....

I find him very attractice in every other aspect.... regardless.... just don't like facial hair...

😡 what a stupid attitude to have towards women anyway.... who on earth wants a model type fella.....

I find him very attractice in every other aspect

He is kinda cute I have to say. 🙂

Beards = weirdo

Sorry, but that's my first thought LOL

Binners? Cute?

Roight. 😐

😛

Can't you get him to enter this competition?

[img] ?u=3498735042[/img]

You know, make the best of a bad situation?

Stubble is the real man's way.

I can't be bothered to shave, but I'm not preening myself cultivating facial hair either.

I have no issues with sideys!

Can I have some buggers grips then? CANI? CANI? CANI? 😀

Unless you look like a stunning model, wimin wont like you anyway. Even the fat or slightly overweight/worn out ones seem to think they deserve better looking men than they deserve.

Congratulations! Once again you've surpassed yourself with your weapons-grade stupidity. But this time served with an intercontinental ballistic onslaught of misogyny and sexism. Three for the price of one. Hurray! Well done you!

It truly staggers me sometimes what goes on inside that cavernous medicine ball that balances so precariously on your shoulders. Spacehopper-head!

[img] [/img]

Never ever had a beard..i tried once in my 30's and my friends called me Prince because he cannot grow one either 😳

Can grow a moustache so I have the look nailed if i ever get into the love that dare not speak its name, cant grow sideys at all either

Still I am the wrong side of 40 and have all my own hair so swings and roundabouts

Tend to think a goatee looks ok on some folk and stubble but full beard looks a bit wrong

+1 for I would do Binners if I get a chance 😉
PS

me and my beard yesterday in the sun:

Do you wax your chest?

nope, god made me in his perfect image... are you suggesting that god might have a hairy chest>!?!

heathen.

I'm not taking suggestions from someone whose head looks like a giant thumb!

Me and Eric were separated at birth

As were you and....

😀

😆 great thread chaps and chapesses.

Some men suit beardage, some don't. DezB has terrific sidies but, for example, on Singletrackmind they wouldn't look good.

Another example, Jensen Button looks really hot with his stubble. On Lewis Hamilton, it would look silly.

And as for this shaving your legs malarkey ... don't get me started. 🙄

Oh yes, that was a very nic pic of George, it's made my afternoon. 😉

Apparently my missus thinks I have a rough explorer look going if I sport stubble.

I prefer just having sideys though, mostly because keeping a beard at the thick stubble point is a total pain in the arse.

And as for this shaving your legs malarkey ... don't get me started.

What about buttocks? 👿

Now, for me a bit of stubble is fine, a nice pair of neatly trimmed sideboards/burns also fine.
However as for the full moosetach and beard - yuk.
The thought of food and other debris being stuck there for ages is so off putting, also it ages a chap and reminds me of a school teacher I once had.

Hubby has very fine eyebrows and I do find it funny when I use my own shiny locks to make a mini wig for each of his eyebrows, he finds it childish and tells me to go back and finish the washingup/baking and sewing.

I've got secret pics of PhillyC with beard...

[IMG] [/IMG]

He ain't that goodlooking.

#strangest

😆

dear god i'm sexy

You sure is

I'm married to a man with a beard, he grew it especially for our marriage, I quite like it now and it does suit him. Doesn't bother me but I do make him promise to keep it well trimmed, can't be having whiskers all over the place. What amuses more is that although all the hair I ever saw him have has been black, his beard is a mixture of black, grey, ginger and a couple of blonde/white!

Beard PSA 😆

I keep a full short beard, Mrs Shake likes it a lot. But it has to be like the middle bowl of porridge; not too short (spiky), not too long (tickly). Juuuuust right. Met her with a beard (me, not her), I've been off the hook for shaving ever since!

Miss CD hates me being clean shaven as she says I the look much younger than her. She hated my Movember tash though.

I get told off if I shave my beard off.

It's a shame really, as clean shaven I'd only have to pay half fare on buses. Probably.

He's not exaggerating.

my beard hides more of my face. I consider this a service to society as I am a fugly muggins. Women do not appreciate the facial hair, but at least they don't spontaneously vomit, which the result of a naked tazzy face 🙂

Facial hair is grim....I have to keep my legs shaved so I expect a man to be clean shaven!

hear hear Aleigh!!!
