Who likes a man with facial hair?

Very handsome Teetime!
I normally do like beards but my DH has just decided recently with all his ill health he would not shave. He just trims every morning and I hate it. It is neither one thing or the other. I just put it down to laziness!! Apparently it is the fashion!!

On much the same subject hate long hair on a man too
Lemon just think how awful it would be to be married to a man with long hair and a beard

Now getting adverts for ‘the Beard Club’??

Bearded since I left school (and in two summer holidays before that) apart from two gaps for amateur theatricals and a couple of trimmer malfunctions. Was black, now white, and I am facing the challenge of making it as unlike Corbyn's as possible, so it is creeping up my cheeks.

I do!!

My OH has always had a beard or a close shaved "designer stuble" for as long as I have known him.
He shaved it off once and was working outside in the garden as the children came home from school,they asked me who was the man in the garden as they did not recognise him with out his facial hair.
Some men just suit a beard I think its their choice surely.

lemongrove and janeainsworth, on the whole I agree about long hair on a man, but I have to admit to thinking Pete Wicks is very attractive. Lookswise anyway, not so much characterwise!

I don't mind a neat and trimmed beard and moustache, worn close to the face. It's the exploding ones that sprout everywhere I am not fond of, and yes, Dick Strawbridge's whiskers do look as though they could be a home to dormice or something.. That moustache would trap all sots of things. Yuck.

What a lovely photo kitty - two smiley, happy people. x

Of course it’s their choice glamma and it’s just as well we don’t all have the same tastes in men!
shysal he has a nice face but my problem with long haired men is not so much the hair itself but the fact that long haired men often seem to not wash it as often as they should. Stringy greasy ringlets are a turn-off for sure?

I was on a train in rush hour recently and noticed that hardly any male was clean shaven - almost all had beards of some description. Beards are definitely the look at the moment. It only seems to be conservative politicians that are clean shaven these days- reason enough to prefer beards. I like a neatly trimmed beard like Patrick from Sewing Bee. Not the hillbilly bushy type.

My DGS's Grandpas, father and both Uncles are all beardies. He has been desperate to grow a beard but at only 11 has a few years to wait yet. I bought him a pack of 3 false beards at Christmas and he wears them alternatively except at school, though he put one to good use in the schools Christmas show (while playing the bassoon!) and another on World Book Day.

I have always thought that it is a blessing that woman (in general) cannot grow beards because it would be such an effort to keep up with trends. Imagine the permutations that fashion would dictate - short or long, curly or straight. moustache or not, beard and head hair matching or contrasting, with or without ribbons or jewels. Not to mention the difficulties in applying lipstick and all the extra beard care products we would have to buy.

I've always known my DH with a beard. He keeps it very close trimmed and is fortunately a very fastidious man. We met in 1976 and married a year later so I'm quite used to it ?
DS has designer stubble, I much prefer that to the goatee he sported a while back.
Agree that Dick Strawbridge's moustache looks hideous, lord knows what's lurking in there.
Kitty good photo of you and Mr Kitty

Love the photo kitty. The Wonderful Man has an eye catching moustache that is much admired and causes people to smile - and drunk young men to cross roads to shake his hand or have a photo taken with him!

When our son got married his moustache was almost a guest of honour; each of the tables was named for a famous moustache and our daughter-in-law had embroidered different styles of moustaches that were displayed on hoops like the picture. The top table was named for my husband. It was a very special tribute and a great talking point.

I hate any type of facial hair, be it designer stubble or the full set. Hate the feel of being kissed by someone with a hairy face! Two sons go in for the stubble look, one stays clean shaven, nothing I say would make any difference, nor should it, they are grown men!

My DH has a shortish beard. He has had it for most of our married life. His father was bearded too. My son also has a beard. His is the fashionable long ,Edwardian sort. I think both DH and DS look great. They both use special beard products and look well groomed

My husband has a beard which he has had for 3 years. I’m ok with it now but I preferred beardless! My son has a huge beard, which I don’t like but it’s up to him and his fiancée likes it I think

Mine grew a beard recently due to drug related skin problems so couldn't shave and it went with his longer hair, also couldn't cut hair, and I just admit I liked it but he was able to shave last week and I think I prefer without. He liked it because people said he looked like a film star and walking through London recently we did notice how many people gave him a double take, he's very tall and carried the look well

Adding to the fact the drugs made his eyelashes really long, I have to cut them because they get entangled!

I think beards are revolting, and ruin any man’s looks. Moustaches too. One of my sons finds shaving really difficult and does go in for the ‘designer stubble’ (ie unshaven tramp) look when at leisure. Needless to say I don’t like it, though I do appreciate it must be easier for him. As far as I know his wife doesn't mind.

Slightly long, clean hair I quite like - at least I prefer it to the very, very short look favoured by many men now, which makes them look like Nazis or skinheads.

I like beards but they do need to be well kept. My husband grew one not long after we married 48 years ago and still has it, my father and 3 brothers all had and one of my sons has one.

Grandma70 by Nazis I assume you refer to members of current far-right organisations rather than the 1930s German Nazis. I have to agree though: don't like the look, though I have had to get used to it as my daughter's partner sports a totally hair-free head (and they are Green Party members). In his case he was going bald anyway and hated the straggly bits. I do have a horror of bald heads with goatees and moustaches, though, since my younger daughter was a victim of sexual assault in our own home years ago when she was very young, vulnerable and suffering from mental health problems. Since that time I feel uncomfortable and vaguely nauseated seeing faces like her assailant's - I'll never forget seeing him in the dock in court (something I tried to avoid doing).
On the other hand, I was a 60s teenager and still warm to a slightly hippy look :-)

grandma70s I laughed out loud at 'unshaven tramp' - my feelings exactly at the unshaven look. Beards are okay if they are proper beards but this latest trend is simply because they can't be bothered to shave in the morning.

I love a beard on a man....sighs...hahaha. I don't like hairy backs or chests though.

My husband has had a bushy beard for a few years. I can't say I like it much, he looks much younger when cleanshaven.
He also had long hair for a while but thank goodness it's now neatly cut.
It's no good me saying anything - unless I said "I LOVE your beard, never get rid of it!"
Then he might consider shaving again.
