Your Man's Facial Hair

Hello Ladies,

I want your perspective on your man's facial hair and do you tell him to shave it not.

I know for a fact that my wife loves a nice, clean shaven face. I on the other hand have always kept a nice neatly cut beard and nice trim. She was always okay with this beard style of mine.

Right before Xmas I decided to grow my beard out and now it's really long and out of control. Friends and family are constantly asking me "what's going on with the beard" I find it comical.

My wife just shakes her head.

Would you be upset or turned off?

Has your wife asked you to shave/trim it? If she did, would you?

I prefer my boyfriend when he has a beard. I love when it's nice and trim, but I also love when it gets bushy. My only request to his bushy beard (when he grows it out like this) is to keep the hair on his hair nice and trim. He's done the bushy hair AND bushy beard and that was a bit too much for me. It had an aura of dirtiness to me no matter how many showers he took.

He never makes requests or demands to my physical appearance so I refuse to do so to him. It's only when he asks my opinion that I give it to him. Luckily I prefer him the way he prefers himself (with a beard).

My husband was always clean shaven up until a couple of years ago when he decided to grow a beard. I do not like neatly trimmed beards but prefer it to look more natural (hipster). So he let it grow fairly big and bushy. Do you know I LOVE it. It makes his eyes twinkle.

His mother absolutely hates it and described him as looking like a serial killer. I think he looks like Joy of Sex man circa 1972 Lol.

@Juice I would be totally turned off by what you're describing. When I met my XH, he kept a really neat, trimmed goatee, and that was fine by me. I discovered, after we were married that he only kept it that way because such grooming was required by the restaurant where he worked as a chef. After he quit that job/after we got married, all hell broke loose with the facial hair and he was determined to grow it out as wild and long and full as humanly possible. And it was DISGUSTING. There were always bits of food stuck in it, or if he slurped a beer or something, it would dribble into the beard. It was so, so, so, so gross. And he refused to take my preferences into consideration. He was like, it's my body, I can do what I want... and I was like, but I have to look at it, and it's there in the way when we kiss or have sex, etc, etc.

Don't get me wrong. I'm cool with a neatly/closely trimmed beard or goatee. It's not my favorite, but it's fine. I prefer the clean shaven look, but I'm ok with a day or two of scruff. I don't shave my legs every day; I don't mind if my guy takes a day or two off himself.

But if you want me to have sex with you, you better think about what I find attractive and what I like if you're considering growing out a mountain man beard. Because if you get that mountain man beard, I won't want to have sex with you, because the mountain man beard makes me want to puke, and that does nothing for sexy time.

Well.....guess I'll be shaving this weekend.

I was just challenging myself to see how long it got. Now that it's big and bushy and I'm even looking in the mirror saying to myself "what the hell is that on your face" it's time for it to go!

I'm sure she'll appreciate it. I'd actually love to shave my face completely bald for her daily, but my dirty work environment will destroy my nice smooth skin.

Can't stand clean shaven on my husband. But, it's his face, not mine. If he decided he wanted to shave all his facial hair, that's his choice if he wants to grow a full beard, his choice. I do prefer a goatee, but it isn't a requirement that he keep his facial hair "just so".

I like clean shaven or closely trimmed facial hair. My husband had always had clean shaven but he decided to grow it out maybe a few years ago and I actually really like it. I didn't think I would. His grew out fast though. He would shave at 7am and have the shadow by noon it seemed!

Definitely a big NO to the ZZTop beards. It shouldn't be patchy either. If you can't do a full beard, then keep it shaved.

I have sported a beard of some sort since the age of 17. In the 90's when the first flecks of gray appeared, I cut it off. Whoa! My wife and my daughter both disliked me with just a moustache. I learned of the expression, "Pornstache" at that time. I was told in no uncertain terms that my face needs a beard. This time, I re-grew a goatee which I keep to this day.

My wife likes a little stubble, especially when I kiss the back of her neck where it joins her shoulder. She shrieks, but her panties come off very fast ....

It doesn't really matter to me. A few years ago he grew a goatee and has kept it so I guess he likes it. I don't like the prickles I get from it though.

On other guys, it depends. Some guys just look better with a beard. Personally I like the Viking braided styles they wear on the show Vikings, but I kinda think those are frowned upon in the real world.

I much prefer a goatee. My boyfriend has a clean shaven face. If he doesn't shave everyday the stubble kills my face....it's hard to get things going if you can't kiss....he is also the first man I have dated without facial hair since I was 20 years old.

For us it is really simple. If I want to kiss my wife's mouth or perform oral sex on her, I have to be clean shaving. Not for looks but because she likes to kiss throughout sex. That is her favorite thing. If I do not shave, her upper lip gets scratched and turns red. If I do not shave and perform oral sex I scratch up her thighs. She likes to grab my head like a vise. Also I have to let my head hair grow long enough so she can grab it and hold my face against her vagina. So I shave and let my hair grow out. It is that simple. :grin2:

My DH has a nice,trim beard and I don't mind it in the least especially when he's kissing the back of my neck I r in more intimate places! I wouldn't like it if he didn't keep it nice and trim. To me it's just a matter of grooming because he's a professional and appearance counts.

Disgusted and turned off. Gross.

If I wanted to be married to someone from the Duck Dynasty group or a member of ZZ Top, that's what I would have done.

The long, out of control beards look dirty and unsanitary and the mere thought of getting my mouth NEAR one is downright disgusting.

Totally agree.

One of those beards can completely ruin an otherwise attractive man.

To her and other females it's out of control and to my male friends they think it's cool. Which I find odd.

The females have convinced me that it's out of control therefore maybe that's why I said that.

I would take a pic, but can't reveal my ID.

So now it 830am and I have to get ready. I'm still up in the air on shaving it.

My Daughter keeps her hair grown out to mid back. I'd like to thank the many women who have given me years worth of ammunition on this thread. I just can't decide which one to use on her first.
Gross
Unsanitary
Disgusting
Makes me want to vomit
No way I'm getting my mouth anywhere near that

Do you think she will shave?

Yea listen to the ladies.

Well I shaved..... then my wife's panties came flying off! Lol!

I really did shave, but no panties flying off. I have to admit she was very happy to see her man back. She said "Thank You" and a whole lot of rubbin and touching has been going on all day.

That's the wise thing to do . . . ;)
