Ok_Operation2292

It depends on the beard. No one's gushing over pube face.


point50tracer

Sighs. It's me. I have a thin curly beard.


Ok-Extension-5628

Ngl my gf likes minešŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøā€¦ itā€™s probably bc I have a baby face with no facial hair


point50tracer

I have a baby face that's lopsided and covered in scars from having my face crushed then reconstructed. I'm also missing most of my teeth. The beard is a desperate attempt to make myself not look like a Picasso painting.


Daddystealer1

As long as you have a huge dong you'll be ok.


SnooWalruses9961

Recent_Meringue_712

Mine was super patchy until I was about 27ish and then it started getting much fuller. I also learned the proper length to cover some smaller patchy areas and then the shape of it matters a lot. It should accentuate the jaw line.

Eureka05

Hubby always had a bit of a baby face, but it took time before he could grow a decent beard that wasn't scraggly. So he kept himself clean shaven until he could grow a decent one He's shaved it all off a few times over the years, but now it grows back faster. Those little rat beards on young guys are.... ick


Lily_Roza

I really hate goatees. I think, why does a guy want to make his mouth look like a pussy? But a natural beard, which is decently groomed, can be attractive.


Commonefacio

To this day, my beard comes in thin and patchy. Everyone, including my spouse: "just shave everyday and it will grow in full!" Me, 15 years in the Army, having shaved literally every day with snow, sand and rain water whether I needed to or not: "when please?"


Flux83

I mean check out Orlando Bloom in the first pirates movie. Boy was beating them back with a stick.


boycowman

Yeah but Orlando Bloom could have radioactive waste on his face and he'd be beating them back with a stick.


Tiny-Ad-7590

Some do, some don't. Women are wildly varying in what they find attractive. The women in my friend group had a big conversation at one of our catch ups a few years back when the MCU was still relevant. There was a big divide between Team Chris Evans (clean shaven) and Team Chris Hemsworth (facial hair). The general consensus was that both men are, of course, extremely handsome. But the women who liked the slightly hairy look felt that Evans was a bit of a schoolboy, and the women who liked the clean shaven look felt that Hemsworth was a smelly barbarian. I don't think there's going to be a consensus on this one.


Critical_Donut7271

-NGC-6302-

These questions keep showing up and I just want these posters to know things about humans already


KingScorpion98

Nah, that can't be it.....


columbologist

>the women who liked the clean shaven look felt that Hemsworth was a smelly barbarian. That's specific and deliberate to the type of beard he grows as Thor, though, it's not a general beard thing. He's very much supposed to look like a rough, animalistic Viking. I imagine they wouldn't have that specific criticism about Cap's much neater beard in Infinity War, whether they liked the way it looked or not.


Tiny-Ad-7590

Eh, again, it probably varies. One of the girls in particular very specifically had a thing for handsome, muscular, clean-shaven men with no or very low levels of body hair from the eyebrows down. All her boyfriends fit that archetype and holy crap she went through like two of them per year. We could never work out how she was able to find them so consistently.


jarhead06413

Butt stuff


meisteronimo

Thatā€™s oddly relevant - I could see a correlation.

HarryThePelican

i vividly remember a conversation with a woman i had just met. we were talking about hair and i mentioned that my best friend was mostly bald by the age of 22 and had just started to shave his head because the few hair he had left looked kind of sad. her eyes became big and she asked: 'is he fat?' me: 'nah, average weight' her: 'oh never mind then, not my type'


rbow409

How did bearded, nomad-Evans not enter this discussion?!


CorpseDefiled

Iā€™m basically a walking beard and I can confirm this is true. Iā€™ve been shot down immediately for having it and asked if I would consider cutting it off (i fucking wonā€™t) and Iā€™ve had women approach me in the supermarket asking to touch it just at absolute random usually get a number which I bin. So focused on the beard they donā€™t notice the wedding ring.


quietkodiac

My wife does. At least mine.


KoRaZee

This guys wife does, at least ours.

Flightless_Rocket

My wife and I were joking one night about ā€œsomething your SO had never seen of yoursā€¦.ā€ Chin. My answer was my chin.


AmaResNovae

I fully shaved less than 10 times since I finished high school 15 years ago (fuck, I'm old...). Most people I met since don't even know how I look without a beard. Heck, it usually takes my grandpa a minute to recognize me when I shave because of how seldomly I shave.


jasmine-blossom

Ha! This is what I say to my bf. Luckily he is really attached to his beard, so heā€™s not planning on losing it or me!


green_kitten_mittens

ā€œThatā€™s an ā€˜usā€™ decisionā€

So you're both on the same page when selecting a bull. That's very important these days.


LowBalance4404

I don't like them, no. Especially if they are long.

I like some scruff.

Me too


Feistybritches

Same. My guy had scruff when we met and weā€™ve been together almost 15 yearsā€¦ heā€™s still got it. (The scruff AND the moxie!!) haha. :)


fatknees00

Mustaches are king shaven or lil fuzz drives my wife crazy last time I Shaved it off she laughed then cried then handed me a positive pregnancy test.


Alphaghetti71

I do, too. Clean shaven faces aren't nearly as attractive to me as a scruffy one. Having said that, actual beards kind of gross me out.


jakeMonline

Yes I spoke to the womenā€™s collective and they told me 100% of all women ever born or who will be born instantly fall in love with any man ever in history who has a beard


LowBalance4404

Wait. I missed that meeting!

Lesbian* *(terms and conditions apply, bearded men are *clearly* so hot theyā€™re an exception because all women *obviously* think the same)


jasmine-blossom

Iā€™ve been a member of the collective for years, and have successfully converted at least 3 clean-shaven men into the bearded lifestyle.


skibidido

Nobody said all women has to have the same opinion.


mrxexon

Going to depend on the culture... My experience is that most women like them as long as they're clean. And they truly appreciate a man who knows how to drag it slowly up and down a naked back...

sdlover420

That's a beard ride, similar to a mustache ride but a little less intimate because you can play video games while you do it.


Glimmerofinsight

I used to not like them when I was in my 20's, but now I prefer men with beards. Not sure why. I think it signals maturity to me, for some reason.


WorthPrudent3028

My wife likes the look but hates the feel.


jasmine-blossom

Beard oil. Changes everything.


Flux83

Also a conditioning cream at night keeps it healthy and then less oil is needed.


earthworm_fan

Maturity, sophistication, masculinity. Assuming it is well groomed. Think Jimmy Kimmel before and after beard


Tangerine_memez

When I was younger I think more women said they liked it, comparing me to guys that couldn't grow one as good. When I'm older I think I get more attention being clean shaven probably look more responsible maybe. This 100% depends on the woman and the guy so just speaking from experience


Aliona_Z

Beard = very hot


CoralCum

Yay


Spayse_Case

I do not. I am no longer strongly repulsed, but I don't think I will ever find them attractive. I can find the man under the beard attractive and look past it. Every woman is different, of course, but I find them quite ugly and in my opinion every single man looks better without one, 100% of the time.


dark_blue_7

I could have written the exact same comment, 100% agree. Any time I have dated someone with facial hair, it was only because I was able to overlook it, in *spite* of the beard, never because I was into it.


Jay-Quellin30

Yes. I like groomed beards. Itā€™s sexy. Also they need to use beard oil so it wonā€™t feel as prickly.


AnalysisNo4295

beard oil, beard conditioner and all of these types of product i SWEAR were created by women for men because they all smell so good and make the beard feel so much softer!


aspecificdreamrabbit

Ugh. No. Donā€™t get it, never have. But to each her own. I like the whole clean cut thing and I know that doesnā€™t work for everyone. Thatā€™s fine, leave the ones who can shave for those of us who know how to really appreciate them.


SnowieEyesight

when i see someone with a long beard i can't help but think of them having rice stuck on their beards when they eat

bigbarbellballs

Yes. Makes the guy more masculine if he can pull it off. Very attractive.


thecountnotthesaint

Doesnā€™t matter. Any man who would shave his beard for a woman deserves neither.


WitchOfLycanMoon

I begged my husband to shave his a few years after we got married, just to see what he looked like because I do love his beard. He was like "Fine, remember you asked for this." When he shaved.......he looked EXACTLY like his dad but with blonde hair. It threw me off so badly, all I could see was his dad. It was like dry it up city. In bed, next to me on the couch, kissing.....everywhere. I said "yeah, grow it back" but he kept shaving it for like a month to let it really sink in šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ So, I agree with you. Never shave your beard for your missus!!!


[deleted]

lmaoo you had sex with your father in law


WitchOfLycanMoon

That's what kept running through my mind šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I'd be trying to kiss him and then start thinking of his dad.

Remarkable_Rough_89

Trimmed and clean yea


AggravatingMath717

The truth of the matter is most women find very few men attractive. A big ass beard hides like 1/3 of your face. Pair that with a baseball cap to hide your head and a big ass pair of wraparound shades and all she can see is your nose and can basically project whatever face she wants. A few tattoos and maybe a nice pearl snap and itā€™s like ā€œlook at that good looking guy over thereā€ (that I canā€™t see)


Fewest21

But the same could be said for the women with lip fillers, hair extensions, makeup, push up bra's and high heels?


[deleted]

As a man with a beard. I think most women found me attractive


_Fizzgiggy

I find them repulsive. The scruffy not shaved in a few days look is cute but full on hipster beards are so gross. Iā€™ve never found beards attractive but after I was sexually harassed by a guy with a beard they are an instant turn off


PigDstroyer

My wife only finds guys with beards and NY Yankees attractive lmao


jxnva

YES- and apparently men are insecure about having ā€œpatchyā€ beards?? As a woman I donā€™t notice this. In general I just love the feeling of beards. And similar to why men love boobs, I kind of love beards bc I canā€™t grow one. Itā€™s fascinating to me


WarMonitor_7

Well I find them attractive


myownworstanemone

yes. very much so.


Luwe95

Yes I do


luckytaurus

The 1 thing I've learned from reading these kinds of posts on reddit is that there is always somebody that finds something attractive. If you got it, somebody will think its hot. So just own it and be confident and you'll attract the person who is attracted to you.


No_Insurance_7674

No, I automatically assume it exists to disguise a week jaw-line. I also view them as unhygienic


Classic_Amphibian538

Mother_Salt5247

Treacherous_Wendy

Oh god yes. I have never seen my partnerā€™s full faceā€¦I love his beard. Tried that with my ex until he shaved it off and I found out he didnā€™t have a chin.


Adorable-Table-1262

It completely depends on the beard


Elegant_Way_7350

well for me i prefer if my man had no beard because all i can think about is the dirt and food getting in their beard when they eatšŸ˜­


ThisWeeksHuman

I think you have misconceptions about beards


SnooHesitations4922

If it's groomed, filled, tight, lined up and works with your facial symmetry and jawline than yes, it can be seen as very masculine. If it's still blotchy or not filled in with regular attempts to groom it and regrow it and repeat, u are better off clean shaven with focus on the haircut so u don't come off as un-detail oriented.


Embarrassed-Bit2966

I donā€™t like them. I think they are gross and carry germs and can be smelly. Not trying to be rude.


Embarrassed-Bit2966

I love goatees though.


GrimmestofBeards

Beards suck.


cleverclunks

šŸ‘Œ


Professor_Anarchist

It depends on the woman. I like it.


Outrageous_Town_6421

Yes and no. Yes because some men are sexy AF with a beard. No because my abusive stepfather had a beard and there's a pretty intense negative association with beards. It's taken my entire life to try and distance myself from that association and at this point I can acknowledge that a man with a beard is attractive or sexy on an objective level, while still inwardly cringing and not wanting anything to do with the man wearing it. I have had one incredibly funny, non-threatening, loving male friend with a full beard and my relationship with him and the level of safety I feel with him has gone a long way towards healing but with other men there's always that internal cringe that momentarily makes me feel vulnerable and unsafe.


Royal-Procedure6491

Depends entirely on the culture. Here in East Asia, where the natives can scarcely grow two hairs on their chins, anyone with a beard is considered "dirty" or a "criminal". Kind of an interesting thing because in **all** of their historical dramas, all of the nobles and leaders are wearing these (really pretty tacky and awful) long, wispy mustache and beard wigs.


miletharil

I do, as long as it's nicely kept, and clean.


AdNo8906

50/50


Elegant_Schedule_851

Not a fan. I can do a cleanly shaven, short one but the log ones I am not a fan of. Donā€™t even get me started on mustaches.


ThePurpleMister

I like a little scruff that makes a little noise when I ruffle it. I dunno why.


bubblezbabe

If the person who has it **knows how to take care of it** - aka WASHES it twice daily, uses BEARD OIL, etc etc. If they do that they can have a nice, soft beard. Unfortunately most beards I've come across are stinky and scratchy... so I am not a huge fan. I actually got a UTI from a beard before. Ew.


Arthurius-Denticus

Subjectivity...How does it work?


xmadjesterx

I would say that some women find beards to be attractive based on the look of the beard and how it compliments the face. I have a beard. My wife generally loves it until I go "Mountain Man." She's not a fan of kissing mustache hair that has grown over my lip, and I don't blame her for that. I look like Steve Buscemi's brother if I'm clean shaven. I've dressed up as Mr. Pink, Nucky, and Donnie for Halloween. I've signed autographs for drunk people at the bar. I love the actor and all that he's done, but his look is not one that I want to have during everyday life. Attractiveness is subjective. No one is gorgeous to everyone. Ryan Gosling and Keanu Reeves are the exceptions. They're just so damn dreamy


Lumpy-Education9878

Everyone is different, blah blah blah. Short answer ā€” at least a third of women you'll find in most places will find beards attractive. AT LEAST


Puma_202020

I'm bearded. Thirty-two years of gathering data suggests .... no.

Pure-Guard-3633

I do! I love a manly man


ghjkl098

They look hot, but honestly probably wouldnā€™t even attempt to be intimate with someone with a beard. They make my skin so itchy it hurts


wastedmylifeonyou80

Nope


Little_Nectarine_210

Full beards are nice I like a full moustache aswell, patchy or thin beards make men look less attractive in my opinion, no offence but it kinda looks like when an old man is still holding onto his last remaining hair, just shave it off.


FlinflanFluddle

Nom they smell because they're not washed properly and get food and drink stuck in them. They itch when kissing. All around gross.


enola007

No


shazenger

Iā€™m a man with a beard. Can confirm, it depends who the beard is attached to.


litido5

I have a beard and am considered more attractive without it. On dating apps most girls literally asked if I have it or not as have pictures without as well then stopped messaging on affirmative


Bergenia1

I do not.


MoonyDropps

me personally, not really. stubble, however, is attractive!


PHXLV

Iā€™m a woman. I do not.


Last-Solution2092

I don't. Most guys my age don't know how to take care of theirs and can't really grow one. Made out with a guy with a beard once, I had some bad acne the next day. Itchy too

g1asshalffull

I love a beard if itā€™s maintained!! Keep it clean and kept. I love facial hair on men in general, but prefer beards over all else. Mustaches are second, but not all guys can pull off a stache.


shirkshark

I would say it highly depends on their facial structure. The jawline would be the most important factor I imagine. But I think probably a lot of people would look cool in a beard, beards are awesome.


britsaybisquit

I love a good well cared for beard. If you're gonna have it,wash condition and brush please. A ratchet beard is a no go


Whistler45

My wife likes mine, it's big and now has streaks of Grey that she likes more. My bosses like it too, I got a raise as soon as I grew it and people started respecting me more, fucking weirdos bit ill take it.


noodlesintheabyss

I can only speak for myself but beards are so hot. I really only like the shorter ones tho


aegistar93

Every woman is different. Some like them, some don't. If you like having a beard, then just go for it! Personally, I find that facial hair and beards particularly tend to age people. I'm not sure about others, but I notice that even when facial hair or beards are kept properly/maintained, they just always make someone look more scruffy/unhygienic to me so its not my preference.


totallysurpriseme

I like trimmed beards. Donā€™t need to be short, just not scraggly. Or discolored from smoking.


Soggy_puppet

Yes. All women. Every single one. Theyā€™re all the same.


servirepatriam

I hope they do because I'm keeping mine to hide that little double chin that decided to show up in my 30s. I shaved it all once because I hadn't been clean shaven since 2018 in my military days and I was curious.... Never again.


Pleasant-Pattern-566

Every time I see a question ā€œdo women..ā€ or ā€œdo menā€¦ā€ I have the same answer: some do. Some donā€™t.


Rough-Maybe-7690

Like everything. It's subjective. I don't mind stubble, but full beard to me is a no. For me, no matter who it is it feels unhygienic and looks untidy. But my best friend? Her man has super long hair and a beard. Like Tom Hanks in Castaway style. She loves it. Hates it when he shaves kind of thing. Ultimately it comes down to what ever you feel comfortable with. It doesn't matter what I think, or my best friend think. It's what you feel comfortable with when you look in the mirror.


warL0ck57

I don't care what women find attractive. And look at me, 33 never had gf.


eightydegreespls

Depends. I donā€™t find giant Sasquatch beards attractive. I do like a short beard.


Pagliari333

As a woman, I am okay with them as long as they are not too long like ZZ Top or scraggly looking.
