Facial Hair on Men

[Placebo]

Yea or Nay?

[mopinko]

1. i have never seen

my hubby's actual face.

[Placebo]

3. Seriously?

That's shocking!

Isn't it like he's been wearing a mask your entire marriage? :D

[mopinko]

9. kinda

25 years.
but then, my first husband had a bad habit of twisting the corner of his mustache, and sometimes had to shave it off when it got too holy. i hated his upper lip.
so, i figure it is just as well.

2. Greg Norton should be represented somewhere

[txwhitedove]

4. Seen right here in the Lounge, lots of handsome DU men with facial hair!

:thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My husband has a beard and a moustache....

And I think he looks terrific!

:bounce: :bounce:

[tyedyeto]

6. I can recall the first time my, now ex-hubby shaved...

my daughter was about 2. She watched him shave (he was full bearded) and kept stroking his face saying "Daddy? Daddy?"

[reyd reid reed]

7. I think it depends on the individual....

It suits some men better than others.

But...mostly...I like it.

Unless I don't.

[ghostsofgiants]

8. I like Jeph Jacques' take on it...

[Placebo]

10. Ha!

In the spirit of full disclosure, I'm one of those guys that can only grow like 4 hairs on my face. I shave them off once a month, if that. :D

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Me too, haha.

[u4ic]

11. Coo coo ca-choo

[Ediacara]

13. It depends on the guy and the hair

Very few men can pull of mustaches, but those that can, are very sexy. More men can pull of goatees, Van Dyke's, soul patches, or full beards. I voted "eh" but I'm generally in favor of it, if it looks good. Mustaches can look good but generally look creepy, beards can look good but can also look unkempt.

[Floogeldy]

14. Understand what hair is for.

Protection. Physiologically and, as a matter of evolution, it is there to protect the body from blunt traumas. The hair grows where the body needs protection.

You are obviously speaking in terms of "fashion." LMFAO, GIRLY MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tinfoil tiaras]

15. Some guys can look good with a little bit of facial hair

but most guys i prefer w/o it....

[pitohui]

16. it never really looks good, does it, and it scratches

but if you want to warn people away then i guess it serves that purpose

[Placebo]

17. It's better than wearing a sign that says:

STAY AWAY. :D

[Quantess]

18. No.

In my eyes, facial hair is unsexy.
Clean shaven only!

[bicentennial_baby]

19. depends on the man

my ex looks hottest w/out facial hair...my bf now looks f'n gorgeous with his beard, and without....grrrr :D

[Jamastiene]

20. Mustaches scare me badly and I don't know why.

If a guy has a full beard with a mustache, I see him is more of the cuddly type, but the mustaches alone always seem to frighten me and I don't trust them. I may need some form of hypnotherapy to ever know why that is. :shrug:

Goatees are kinda cool.

[Placebo]

21. Mustaches on their own are kind of suspicious.

It's like, "Hey...what you hidin'?"

[u4ic]

23. I always expect them to say

Burt Reynolds is their favourite actor...:puke:

[Placebo]

24. Or...

"Come here pretty lady!" for you or "Come here pretty boy!" for me as a gay man, at which point I think we both go into panic mode. :P

[Common Sense Party]

26. I always expect them to say:

"Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"

Every cop I've ever talked to has a moustache.








Even the lady cops.:P

[Jamastiene]

36. Yeah, come to think of it they all pretty much do.

I have yet to meet one who doesn't. A friend of mine became a cop and never had a mustache before that. After, he grew one. I never understood that. I catch your drift about the lady ones too. They have a little too much testosterone form all that cop stuff they do, lol. :sarcasm:

[JVS]

37. Or wear a shirt/hat that touts the low price of rides upon the moustache

[GalleryGod]

45. Great minds...

and that's a Summer Special..a cunning linguist,too.

[GalleryGod]

43. Or maybe because of THIS guy !?

[Jamastiene]

50. Is that 'stache real?

Just wondering. Curious? Price is a bit steep, don'cha think?

[LeftyMom]

22. Generally no,

My boyfriend has a little bit on his chin and it's cute on him, so he gets a pass. As a general rule I can do without though.

[Common Sense Party]

25. I vote 'no,' but only out of sheer jealousy.

Nearly 40, and I can't grow a full beard for the life of me.

[Placebo]

27. Me either.

Although most of my guy friends are like, "You're crazy! I wish I couldn't grow one, it's a bitch to shave everyday!"

[Common Sense Party]

28. Oh, I have to shave every day. I grow facial hair, just not all over.

It comes in quite thick under the chin, all along the jawline...but it's spotty and anemic in the moustache/soul patch area.

Maybe I should go Amish.

[Placebo]

29. Ha!

You've got far more than I could ever hope for, it sounds like.

I get a few thick black hairs on my chin and a dusting of baby fine really light hairs above my lip, and that's it.

[jobycom]

30. I like it on me

Not because of how it looks, but because when I shave I bleed profusely and have stubble again in about half an hour. So a trimmed beard is better than bloody stubble, IOW.

[last_texas_dem]

31. I'm a facial hair supporter

I usually think a guy looks cooler with facial hair if I've seen him both w/ it and w/o it. However, I'm not attracted to guys so I can also understand why many women aren't into it. (The fact that parts of the man's face are covered, it's scratchy, etc., etc.) I'd grow facial hair if I could but mine is too patchy so I just keep it clean-shaven, other than my sideburns that go a little past the bottom of my ear but don't really show up anyway since I have fairly long hair. If men can grow facial hair, my vote is to go for the full beard/mustache, as to me it's the coolest look. (I've never really gotten into the whole "soul patch" look, though- no offense to any male DUers sporting it. Some men can pull it off, but most just cause me to assume they're guys who want to grow facial hair but can't grow any decent facial hair besides some scruff on the chin!)

[tjwmason]

32. Noooooo.

Really dislike it except on Orthodox clergy, Patriarch Pavle of Serbia looks particularly magnificent.

[xchrom]

33. scruff, 5 o'clock shadow is ok.

not into beards.

[nickinSTL]

34. did you deliberately find the worst possible pics?

I look a heck of a lot better than any of your pics, and I'm not exactly Brad Pitt.

A well-groomed beard looks good on some guys, and I'm one of them.

[Placebo]

47. You're a modest one, eh?

;)

[nickinSTL]

48. hey, I did say I DIDN'T look like Brad Pitt...

and no, I'm not movie-star handsome...in fact, some would say I'm a little-odd looking. But, I look a heck of a lot better with a beard than those absurd pics in the OP.

[never cry wolf]

53. Agreed

Since I just did movie night with my 16 yo daughter I was reminded of this....

[Iniquitous Bunny]

35. My guy looks very good when he has a beard.

He's usually clean shaven though. As with everything, depends on the man and his face. :)

[JVS]

38. it's natural and right for men to have hair on their faces

[GirlinContempt]

39. Meh, only chops

only chops

[MissMillie]

40. depends on the man, and depends on the hair

:shrug:

[XemaSab]

41. Depends on the guy

and it depends on the social context.

Most male biologists have beards.

:shrug:

44. far out, man

[pagerbear]

46. You could have chosen better examples

...but yes, please!

51. _Both_ of the gorgeous men in my life have facial hair,

neat and well-groomed. :)

[NewWaveChick1981]

52. I like neat, well-groomed, short-cropped facial hair on men.

My ex had a beard, and I loved it. But I DON'T love creepy, long, nasty beards or mustaches or goatees, and I don't like handlebar mustaches or Fu Manchu looks. :scared:
