Do you prefer a beard or you like being clean-shaven? If you're a woman, how do you like your man?

I like my husband best clean shaven, especially since he had a moustache from the day we met until he shaved it 30 years later. He looks younger. My sons are a part of the hipster era and sport slight beards and moustaches. They are handsome to me, but I prefer their baby faces. Their respective better halves prefer the hair.

@DianneN From your observation, moustaches and beards make people look older.

Why do young people conform so much? I did too. Probably still do, in my nonconformist way.

My only really close gay friend has a beard, and it looks really handsome on him.

I don't want a Santa beard. I think it's not too neat but I do like my man with stubbles.

@1hopefulman His is a bit longer than a stubble. But at least not too much. He's unwilling to compromise on that area.

So, a beard has to suit the individual. He has to able to pull it off, but if he does, does he still have a beard?

Moustache, no beard...I don't mind a goatee though just not a full beard. Depends on the guy though some keep them well trimmed and they look nice.

@1hopefulman I can understand why you would. It must be a bit of a pain at times having to shave all the time.

Of course I prefer a man with clean-shaven. I seldom see a man who looks nice with a beard Clean-shaven will make a man look clean and younger.

I've had a beard for over 40 years. There is no way in heck I would ever go back to shaving every single day. I keep my beard trimmed very short. It drives me cuckoo when it gets more than a centimeter and a half long. Speaking of shaving, I had a girlfriend once a hundred years ago who refused to shave her armpits. To my surprise I found that it was a wee bit of a turn on.

Great! I guess there might be a reason why armpits have hair.

With beard & moustache. I am not a woman, but like men with beard & moustache. Most of the men do not able to grow beard naturally and for that most of the products are readily available online these days. My brother got some beard growth products from Beardilizer ( and within few weeks he got satisfactory results. I am also planning to purchase some products like beard spray/beard cream for maintaining my beard for this Christmas.
