Poll: Facial Hair. Yay, Nay or damn that's just hay.

[Tuesday Night Fever]

I always have a light amount of stubble. I have ridiculously sensitive skin, particularly my neck, and I've never been able to clean shave it without getting a ton of razor burn. With all the redness I think it actually ends up looking significantly worse than the "I forgot to shave today" look that I generally have.

I've tried every single type of fancy razor, shaving cream, and skin product under the sun that I can find and none of it helps at all. Buying an electric razor that lets me adjust the blade to cut really close, but not a clean shave, is the only thing that's prevented the burn.

My mother: What is that on your face?
Me: My beard.
My Mother: Shave it off. You look like a man.
Me: I AM A MAN!!

I imagine your voice cracking here

I had wolverine style sideburns at 14 (led to my age forever getting overestimated) and I am currently growing a yeard.
I find female opinion on beards are mixed. My ex loved it, my mother and sisters think I look homeless (I don't, it's groomed and combed!)

Snip

I like your typo. It suggests you are getting taller, very quickly (it's close to yard, which is a lot!).

It's not a typo It's a beard that takes a year to grow

 

[lacktheknack]

I've been going for a Van Dyke for years, but I keep ending up with a "passable tech support" look. xD

But the harder I try to grown this sucker, the more intense the rest of my body hair gets. I don't understand how this happens, all I know is that if I'm ever trapped penniless in Southeast Asia, I can probably get a job at a freakshow just by wearing a low-cut top backwards.

 

[thesilentman]

I like me my beard and mustache. On a girlfriend of mine? Nah no thanks.

Though it would look kinda... nah not really.. eh.. Let's just say that I'll have a confused boner.

 

[Dizchu]

While I'd love to rock the Conchita look, unfortunately whenever facial hair grows it just looks like pubes sticking out of my cheeks. Echh, no thanks.

I dislike having facial hair. It is mildly uncomfortable, doesn't look great, and having to shave is a chore I would rather not have to spend my time on. Sadly laziness leaves me befacial-haired a lot of the time.

If I could press a button and never have to grow unwanted hair ever again, I would be rather happy. As far as I know, however, there is no such easy solution.

Other people can do what they want with their facial hair. It can look good on people or bad on others. As far as attractiveness goes, I must admit I don't think I'm too fond of female facial hair.

I am female and no I do not grow facial hair, nor do I like it on males. I personally think it looks stupid, and find it repulsive, rather than attractive. Not only does it look stupid but it makes me not ever want to kiss someone who has fur around their mouth, I have no desire to touch it so yea, I have refused to date guys previously who had facial hair and yea, I would break up with a guy who would choose to grow it out after we were dating because he would then be forcing me to choose between not ever kissing him again or him trying to force me to touch something I am repulsed by and it would be wrong for him to try and force either. It is one thing if someone is injured and have no say in whether or not they change after they are in a relationship, however, it is different when they make knowing choices that they know their significant other finds repulsive. Intentionally trying to repulse a partner is not trying to make a relationship work, and ample reason to terminate it.. LOL

On another note, I also prefer them to shave their balls as well or anywhere else they want kissed. A mouthful of hair is not appetizing or sexy.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Depends on who its on. I might be able to pull off some scruff but I've yet to get the full beard.

Yes! That is exactly what I said when my last wife put on a few pounds! People said I was being a bit out of order when I angled for separation just after Christmas, and you're the first person I've found that supported me. Thanks!

If she intentionally gained weight you might have a point, however I have known very few people who intentionally gained weight to make themselves fat. As I stated above, if they have no say in how they change, growing old, reduced metabolism, losing a leg ect.. that is different than intentionally refusing to shave their legs or face knowing their partner finds it repulsive. I do think people should make an effort to keep healthy, however, ones metabolism slowing down is a part of aging, not a part of hygiene. A man not shaving his face is like a woman refusing to shave her armpits or legs, both are gross.

 

[Godhead]

Can't really grow anything other than neck stubble that I promptly shave off once I notice it. However, my dad rocks a moustache, my oldest brother was able to dress up like ZZ Top for Halloween at the age of 17 and my other older brother looks homeless with his beard.

I'd say that my family does facial hair pretty well.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I can't grow much in the way of a beard or a mustache...I can almost grow a goatee but even if I could grow facial hair properly I would gladly press a magical button or dump my face into a magical potion that stops me from ever growing facial hair ever again. It's a pain in the ass to maintain, it doesn't look that great when it's there, and I strongly prefer looking several years younger than I am than having a few patches of fluff on my face. Get this crap off of me! It can take my leg-hair with it.

 

[Dr. Thrax]

Generally, no.
Some guys can pull it off, but a lot of them, I find, just don't look that good with facial hair, even if it's trimmed and whatnot.
It also doesn't help that a lot of the facial hair I see these days is on hipster dudes with mustaches straight outta the Victorian era, plus beard.

CAPTCHA: got my mojo
No, Captcha.. Just no.

 

[Zipa]

I usually shave mine off after about a week, I have very thick hair so after about a week it is itchy, hot and uncomfortable. Plus actually trying to shave it off after more than a weeks growth is just painful and chews up razor blades pretty swiftly.

 

[FPLOON]

Without facial hair I look like Uncle Creepy.

With facial hair I look like a harmless college professor.

Unfortunately, my job doesn't allow facial hair. So Uncle Creepy it is.

Oh! Let me try... Uh...

Without facial hair I look like my mother...

With facial hair I look like my deceased father...

Unfortunately, I hate shaving with a passion... So, deceased father it is! Besides, it's all going well with my growing Afro and trimmed sideburns...

On another note, I also prefer them to shave their balls as well or anywhere else they want kissed. A mouthful of hair is not appetizing or sexy.

But, if I do that, then people would question why I named my genitals "The Black Disco Key"!

 

[Random Argument Man]

I prefer my face ever since I have facial hair. I'm starting to accept balding thanks to facial hair. I never got compliments as much than I had before facial hair. (I hope that I wrote that right). I don't look like a creep who needs sunlight with facial hair.

In shorts, yay facial hair!

Facial hair in that sense is itchy, painful and unpleasant.

Sounds like your boyfriend needs some conditioner on his beard.

 

[Wuvlycuddles]

Hair refuses to grow on my chin or lips in a decent way so all that leaves me is a patchy neckbeard I have to shave every now and again. It's a shame too, I'd actually like a light mustache or beard if I could grow one.

I have a similar deal, cept I can grow it decently thick on my chin and I can grow a good looking tash but my cheeks and burns all patchy and horrible

[Someone Depressing]

Spend most of my time lusting after men/women with beards. They are simply the pinnacle of manliness. Can't grow one myself though because I'm a kawaii sugoi bishie kohai-chan, but maybe one day...
