Who likes a man with facial hair?

I loathe all facial hair on men. Scratchy, and it makes them look so much older. I'm very pleased that my partner shaves properly every morning.

Personally I can’t stand beards or moustaches never have and when DH tried to grow one a few years after we married I quickly persuaded him to shave it off?

Well Eglantine21 my old grandma always reckoned kissing a man without a moustache was like eating an egg without salt. However, I had a beard when Mrs. S first met me, grown initially to look more grown up when I was appointed foreman to some really old boys at the tender age of nineteen, shaved it off to copious tears when first born was born, (some obscure pseudo-Dr. Spock reckoned it was better if the child saw the beard grow over time so they got used to it) and, because I think she would divorce me if I ever did it again, my neat goatee is now quite grey, but well tended and much adored by both daughter and wife. My dad and both of our sons also have beards and one of the grandsons is starting to sprout too.

DH has had a beard since he went to Uni. Started off as a neat Mandred Mann jazzy beard, nearly black. Now it’s a neatly trimmed grey job. We were talking to dark-bearded youngster the other, comparing beards, he was really surprised when I told him DH’s beard used to be as dark as his - don’t youngsters realise they will be grey one day!

I have never seen my husband without a beard and moustache and we've been married almost 40 years....
It is getting a little thin now but he wouldn't be 'him' without it

Not for me at all. No matter how clean they look, I have this sensation of creepy crawlies and old food therein. Yuk! Sad to say one son has recently adopted this fashion and, in my opinion, does nothing for him but covers up a rather pleasant visage. Of course, I haven't said anything and don't expect to be asked for my thoughts. I think sometimes there is a motivation of laziness in the shaving arena and this I can understand.

My OH has had his beard since he was 17 ,he's 63 now.He did take it off once for a dare and I was most upset .When he was young he was a dead ringer for Cat Stevens as he's got older he's just as gorgeous with his beard and I'd hate him to shave it off.He is very image conscious loves to be well dressed and wears fabulous smellies,his beard is part of him .

Absolutely hate beards even on George Clooney.

never understood why men shave.we dont usually shave our heads ,or other ares, so why our faces?

I did a sponsored 'Brave the Shave' with my husband last year; my hair, his hair and beard. He thought he was safe in declaring he would only shave his 30 year beard off if we made over £1000 jointly. We made £1900, so off it came. Couldn't wait for him to grow it again - he looked so different it was like sleeping with a stranger! Never again!

I don’t mind facial hair. My son has a beautiful beard although sometimes it’s a bit prickly. It’s the beards that are not much more than stubble that I dislike, such as a Jeremy Corbyn’s. I just don’t know why they bother to grow a pathetic beard that you can see the skin through.

My husband had a moustache grown to hide a scar on his upper lip. My son has a well trimmed beard, now grey, which he grew when first married because his wife is older than him and he looked so young.

My husband has always had a beard and I love it and can't imagine him without it. Its clean, its tidy and lovely. Also I love men with long hair and ponytails or a topknot but I am afraid he doesn't have enough hair for that. I think the big busy beards are ageing but the short well trimmed ones are great and young looking.

Some men suit them and others look dreadful. I don't like this fashion for "hipster type beards" which to me just look scruffy. The ones with various shades of grey and white with a sprinkling of original hair colour still in them do nothing for a man's appearance in my opinion. Much prefer to see men looking clean shaven.

My ex-husband had a beard when I met him in 1970, which was part of tge attraction, but he shaved it off some years later and refused to regrow it.
My second husband, found through Friends Reunited, has a beard and I love it! This photo is from our wedding day in 2015.

DH grew a beard when DD was 3 years old but she refused to let him kiss or cuddle her with it - so he shaved it off!

I like a man with facial hair ?
Not so much hairy backs though....

We’re the beardie family! Fil, dh and ds all have beards and full heads of hair - including my 91 year old father in law! I’ve only every seen dh without his beard once and I hated it. It’s a bit salt and pepper now, but so is his hair so he matches. Ds was sporting a really long, bushy, slightly auburn (?) beard until recently but has now trimmed it back. His boys hung baubles in it at Xmas!

Shudders !! Sat near a man with food hanging from his huge beard in a restaurant awhile back and try as I might I couldn't help seeing and looking at it,
I changed chairs with my husband so I couldn't see it!! And fortunately my husband had finished eating, he thought it funny .
Awkward and very Yuk!!

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.

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

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.

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 :-)

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.

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.
