Facial hair - guys: Do you have any? Ladies: Do you like it on your man?

I've seen a lot of soul patches lately, I guess they're easier to maintain than a gotee or beard, plus they look cool. My initial avatar was a clean shaven pic, now I'm in the process of some chin fuzz so I'll post when it looks better. Ladies, do you like facial hair on a guy or do you want to hold him down and shave him? Do tell.

I'm a sucker for facial hair. I've never had a clean shaven boyfriend/lover and my Fiance has a great looking go-tee. There's something both mature and sexy about facial hair.. especially when it's first growing back and its all stubble-y :)

It does separate the boys from the men. I can't grow a go-tee so I'm trying a soul patch.

I'm almost like a Hungarian. I grow excellent beards - and I rarely shave.

I currently have a moustache and a beard,which my beard is kind of longer than I want it to be,which means it is about time for me to shave it again,my fiance doesnt really mind my beard,but she tells me I should shave it ,which hopefully in the next couple days I will get around to trimming it.

I don't really like facial hair on guys - although my hubby has a goatee. It makes kissing him really scratchy!

You could very well have 7 go-tees in your house at one time!

It depends on the guy. I have an ex that looked like an idiot every time he tried to grow facial hair. It just didn't come in well and it looked ridiculous on him. I have another ex that looks great with a goatee. I actually think he looks much better with it than without it. Maybe because most of the time I have known him he has had the goatee.

I had a friend whose girl said if he ever shaved his go-tee she would leave him.

I'm trying to have a soul patch also, but it's quite hard for me to do so as it takes very long to come out.. Thus right now, i only have a goatee.. LOL

I only hope it will look nice on me, if not my days of staying at home will be wasted.. As u know, the process of growing facial hair is quite untidy.. LOL

Depends on how my man will look like if he has facial hair...As much as I hate it, I guess I can handle it if he likes having it..that's coz I love him enough that I can accept whatever he wants just so long he would not look like a chimp or worst smell like one..

Personally it depends on the man. I have seen men who look good with facial hair, and can never imagine them clean shaven, where there are others who are not able to really grow much facial hair so it does not look good on them. So overall I think it is a matter of choice on both parts for sure.

I know, I've seen Sam Elliot the actor clean shaven and he just didn't look right.

I really do not like facial hair especially if that hair happens to be on the face of my husband. I like my man to be clean shaven and smelling really good. LOL Anyway, I guess people have different preferences when it comes to these things. I have a friend who loves facial hair.

I hope you give your hubby a couple of days off when its time to shave, we get sorta sick of it and want to do something different. Thanks for the response.

I think it all depends on the guy. Just like long hair, short hair or no hair.

True, we don't get to experiment with our hair like the ladies do, eventually we get tired of our appearance and want to change it around. To each his own.

Why can't you experiment with your hair? Grow it long then shave it off just to shock em.

Well, I cannot grow facial hair as I am a female so I guess I will comment on what I like on a guy. I personally do not like facial hair at all. I hate the scratchy feeling of it especially when it is first growing in. I hate when it's all grown out and guys get food stuck in it. Ick! I'm glad that my husband is in the military and required to be clean shaven.

For the most part, I really don't like facial hair on guys. A little scruff or cleanly trimmed things I can work with, but beards and mustaches are just gross to me. xD

That's cool. Too much chin fuzz is hard to manage.

I cant really say i like it or not..i dont have any personal liking or dislikes.With some men it looks cool & good while some men looks like a bunch of gypsies lols. It actaully depends on the complexion, facecut and the features of men to go with facial hair accoring to me.

I agree, with some guys it looks like they know what they are doing while I look like I lost my razor.

Facial hair is an annoyance. I don't like it I think men look better with clean shaven face. That way it is nice and smooth and if you kiss a guy your not getting pricked my their facial hair. I do think some men look better with a gotee but a smooth face is always real nice. A beard or gotee always looked so itchy too me.

I've since moved towards a clean shaven face myself.

I have always preferred my man to be clean shaven, but a couple of weeks ago he stopped shaving because he had a bad coldsore, and shaving aggravated it. The days went by and the coldsore disappeared, but the growth stayed! He had decided to grow a goatee, and to my utter surprise - I liked it! I told him it makes him look quite distinguished! It just goes to show - we can always change our views as long as we keep an open mind. Good luck with your chin fuzz!

I prefer my men clean shaven but don't mind a small goatie. I think a full beard can look grubby if not maintained well and I always think the person is trying to hide something for some reason even though I know many lovely men with beards I just wouldn't want to be the one kissing them with it.

I'll admit this, I grew a go-tee to keep this one girl from kissing me, it worked, she left, end of story.

I like a clean shaven man. Some guys look good with some stuble or some hair, but for the most part I like a nice smooth face on a guy. The only man I can ever recal thinking was sexy with facial hair was Tom Selleck. Actually Burt Reynolds too, they both look with mustaches, but I can't think of anyone else, and nobody really from my generation who I thought would look better with a mustache. But I like my man clean shaven.

My kids will tell me when my stubble bothers them. You picked two mustached actors that wear the lip hair well, good choice.

I love my beard. I have a full beard and moustache and I've only been growing it for about a month. I've never actually dated anyone, but I hope I can find someone who appreciates it. I think it's a fine looking beard.
