Do men look more sexy with beards?

[DnAuK]

I've been sporting a goatee now for the last 2 years, simply because my other half ask me to. She now reckons I wouldn't look right without it. I wasn't sure at first, but I think she's right ☺

 

This is definitely a thing. I 'lost' the beard I'd had for many years in a bet last year. I neither felt or looked right without it so grew it back at the earliest opportunity.

 

I believe the great John Peel hit the nail on the head when he said something like, when you have had a beard for several years and you shave it off, you almost expect the face that appears from behind it to be the same one that was covered up all that time ago. And clearly this is not the case.

 

It's also the same when I wear contact lenses, which I only tend to do when I go out at night. My colleagues at work are so used to seeing me with specs that, when I'm not wearing them, they think I look odd!

Personally, I hate it. I dont think it looks attractive, along with the shaved hair at the side. Each to their own though.

Edit.. unless they have long hair like dumbledore.

Goatee or Van Dyke?

 

Wow, its actually a Van Dyke!

I used to stop shaving when the clocks went back, and start again when the clocks went forward. Gave me an extra couple of minutes in bed through the winter. I look very distinguished with a beard, and much younger without, folks say.

 

Yes they do say that; I dont care, at the moment, if my beard does make me look less attractive.

Some men look better with beards, some look better without.

Some look better when they're younger, some look better as they have changed as they aged.

 

A few (like Eric Clapton, for example) have the face that is much better hidden beneath a beard and look much better in their 50s or 60s than they did when they were in their 20s.

 

My OH has a beard when he can't be bothered to shave, and is clean shaven when he starts to look a bit too Captain Birdseye. Neither way round bothers me, he is the same person under the face fuzz.

 

Oh, and extraneous 'a' in the title has been smited.

Please don't take beards out of fashion, I fit in quite well at the moment with mine - and it's also useful to hide the double chin! I've also got very sensitive skin, so whenever I do shave my skin goes red and blotchy, having a beard saves me from this.

 

It is painstaking pulling out the individual white ones though, and why do they always grow twice as thick and twice as fast as the darker hairs surrounding them...

I have a beard because i cannot be bothered to shave.:hihi:

Only one person should have a beard and that's Father Christmas:hihi:

I doubt you have ever tried a beard on, in fact I can vaguely remember you telling us why.

 

Wrong on both counts - I've worn one for the past five or six years.

My OH has a beard and long hair on top and short (not shaved) on the sides and i love it, he is 45yrs old and has been sporting this look on and off since before i met him and that was a many years ago so i wouldnt say it's the new look, at least not for him.. It really suits him and he's very attractive.. he shaved it off once and he just didnt look right so told him to grow it back he's yummy

 

I personally find hairy (groomed) men attractive and i am turned off my men who shave their chest hair etc..

 

I draw the line at this though!!!
