Beards... disgusting

I think I'm a bit biased about beards at the moment. Just re-watched Young Montalbano and I can't imagine Michele Riondino with spaghetti in his beard. I think I may even forgive him if he has.

Blossoming That's so clever. Love it.

I love beards - as long as they’re short, neatly trimmed and not a Captain Birdseye type beard. I think a dark haired man with a neat beard is very attractive, sexy and masculine. Like the late Imran in Coronation Street. Gorgeous! I quite like goatee beards on older, grey haired men - like David Essex.

If they are meltdowns they are ok, though seeing someone with food in it ugh ugh

This thread has given me an idea for my next craft project

Good idea....
I remember my friend giving me something like that at Christmas, designed as Santa Claus of course.

I have a photo somewhere...

I rather like a decent, clean and well kept beard. OH grew one once but he didn’t nurture it properly so it was full of holes. He shaved it off after a year. Elder son has never grown one as he has fine fair, although he managed a goatee once. Younger son can grow a beard at the drop of a hat. He first grew one when he was 20. He was starting a Masters and wanted to look older.

^I always think men with beards are trying to hide some ugly feature, or have an insecure personality.^

So sad. That's the sort of thing women say about other women who wear more make-up than they do.

I know someone who has a birth mark on his face and grew a beard to cover it. I think it's sad that he felt he had to, because stupid people thought the mark was ugly.

love a man with a stubble or beard my Dh has one , can’t stand the clean shaven look, sign of a man! Very sexy, agree with redhead

There seems to be a lot of a certain type of beard at the moment. Tanned faces, teeth you can see from the moon and a trimmed beard.

I can take them or leave them .

Ooh, I love a man with a neatly trimmed beard....

What is a fact fact? Is it different to a fact!

It's not written as a fact fact it's an expression of her feelings.

There is a difference between a fact fact that has evidence to support a claim, and a subjective feeling or even a subjective belief.
Did Serendipity people claim people who disagree with her are wrong? No, she did not.

I don’t mind them so long as they are not mucky or unkempt. I prefer clean shaven men, though. My brother in law has one and I don’t like it on him but we only see him about every 20 years or so so it doesn’t matter !

Beard lover here, too. My first husband had one when we met and olddudders, to whom I’m married, has sported one for years.

My DH has had a beard for many years and it is immaculate, he showers daily and never has food in it. If he hadn't been a vet he would probably have gone into the Navy where beards are totally acceptable.

Yes, we’re all entitled to our opinions hence some of our replies to the OP.

I see "having a different viewpoint" as different to "taking offence"..... but that's just my viewpoint.

Serendippity of course you are allowed an opinion but your title wasn’t an opinion it was written as a fact
Beards …disgusting
Had the title been ‘I find beards disgusting’ I wouldn’t have bothered writing because that’s just your opinion which is every bit as valid as mine

When I was younger I hated a beard and cried when my husband grew one. However, now I'm a grown up, I live and let live.
My DH grew a goatee when the Fire Service decreed beards were banned from a certain date but you could have a moustache or goatee. The whole station grew a beard in protest before the cut-off date. I liked it so much that when the cut-off date arrived, he made it into a goatee. He shaved it once and I asked him to grow it back.
I find kissing a man with stubble (if memory serves me correctly ) makes my face sore but a beard softens so it is no problem.
To see some of the harsh reasons people think men grow beards is quite puzzling. To me it is a life choice like long hair or short hair or shaving it all off. Nobody would think women are hiding shortcomings with a hairstyle!

My nephews have them. They keep them neat and they look great. My husband grew one for the first time at the start of the pandemic. It is grey, short and neat and it suits him.

Orlin and all four of my sons have a well kept beard. I love them all. I see people with spinach between their teeth more often than I see food in a beard and I’ve only noted the spinach once.
Agree with Monica about the scratchy faces of shaven men, not for me.
The only one on tv I don’t much like with a beard is Faisal Islam. We refer to him as fancymouth, if auto correct had done its job properly you’d get my drift.
