Should men keep beard or not?

Question

I think the stubble or beard on men picked up craze since last 2 decades. Dudes used to be clean shaved earlier.

As men, what do you prefer?

And as for women, do you like men with facial hair or without?

I personally wish l could afford the whole laser hair removal. From head to toe.

Except for my beard.

I am reminded of George “The Animal Steel” anytime l see myself wearing nothing but a smile. Maybe l could handle keeping a little chest hair and the hair on my forearms so l don’t look like a 51 year old prepubescent boy.

As far as my beard, l like it short. None of that “Duck Dynasty” shit. I don’t want to have critters nesting for my leftovers.

I keep the hair on my head trimmed skin tight. Another reason l don’t want that Duck Dynasty look so l don’t scare my fellow airline passengers into thinking l love flying aircraft, no matter my lack of experience, or for those short flights around the New York skyline.

I wish l could get my beard and the stubble on my head to stop growing at the length l prefer.

Shaving and trimming is a pain in the ass. Sometimes l might go a little longer and let it get a little too bushy, but because the longer it gets, the less comfortable it feels, l keep it trimmed more often than not.

To have and groom facial hair, is makeup for men. A concealer of sorts too. It can accentuate the shape and features of a face, but can also hide things and add dimension. I enjoy having facial hair because I embrace my masculinity and it's expression in this context.

It’s honestly up to them,  but if they’re gonna keep one, I suggest they maintain it when it gets down to the chest.  If it’s dry, I hope they make sure it’s hydrated or moisturized. If it’s just like a stack of cards and doesn’t move- I suppose they could just leave it. Although if they’re messy eaters or have a history of things falling in, they should honestly comb it. Especially if they have a track record with drooling on their pillows. 😬👍 They should go for beards, if it enhances their face, and they’re looking for some type of ‘glow up.’ Like it’s some guy who wants to be more intentional with improving his overall appearance, or is into fashion.   He should if he has acne or scars he wants to cover, but he should also consult with a skin care professional so he won’t be left agitated or itchy.  Any guy having a mustache or beard should keep it relatively even during cuts/trims and all. If it’s noticeably uneven/ asymmetrical.. then I don’t know who’s cutting their beard lol  Practicing is key OR having a reliable and affordable barber. 💈

I normally hate facial hair unless its a cute little goatee. But damn my dude looks good with stubble. And its not even pokey when we kiss. He has changed me in ways i never wanted to change. And if we dont workout, i’m gonna revert back to those ways lol

I stay clean shaved. I can't stand hair on my face long enough to keep a beard. 4 or 5 days is the longest I have ever managed. It just feels dirty to me so I have to shave it off.

I do think it could help some men in the looks department though if they have a butt chin or a weak looking jawline.

I think it depends on the man.

In my case, I have been cursed with a boyish face. So when I grow a beard, it looks like a boy with a beard. It doesn't look right and I tried growing a thick one and all my friends and my wife said it doesn't suit me. As an example (though far better-looking than me), take Leo DiCaprio with a beard. It doesn't really look so good; even at his age, he still looks somewhat like a teenage boy with a man's beard.

I think for men with more mature, manly features though, beards tend to suit them very well.

I normally keep myself clean shaven or with light stubble. But I do have a short beard right now because do grow a beard in the winter time since I work out in the elements a lot and it helps protect my face my wind and the cold. So it’s just more practical.

I like beards on men who can grow full beards (not necessarily bushy ones though). If your beard is all patchy it means you're not meant to have one and that's okay. Mustaches are cool too (yes I know, unpopular opinion).

If the beard is well-kept, clean, red or with hints of salt-n-pepper, I'll love it even more. ;)

bolverk · Answer

Its personal choice, forget what the current fashion is, and if women don't like it that's their problem.

I chose a full beard because. 1 shaving was painful especially when my razors had been "borrowed" by my sisters, 2 ingrown facial hair would drive me nuts.

But if you have a beard treat it as you would your hair, brush/comb it, and if you have any sense keep it well trimmed around your mouth, its a but uncouth walking around with your last meal lingering around your mouth. As for the length pick a length your happy and maintain it, an electric trimmer with a set of combs/guides is best for this, a one weekly trim is faster that shaving believe me.

I used to have facial hair, but now that I’m in the best shape of my life. I hate beards. Like it makes you look like a chipmunk. And with like a goatee or mustache. You still can have a sign looking face. But only certain people can pull those off. And no. It doesn’t make you “manlier.” I’m not defined by facial hair.

I don’t particularly care for it one way or the other but my wife absolutely loves it so, I’m committed. She jokingly says “If the beard goes, I go!” I keep it trimmed and neat. More George Clooney than Duck Dynasty. Personally I see a lot of men who should learn how to trim and maintain their beard.

Depends on if he looks good with a beard or not. I like guys to not be hairy, but that's just me.

He's got a beard and I'm trying to wet it lol.. I like beards. I also like shaved faces.

Claire2002 · Answer

Personally I find a beard much more manly. Except for some very specific faces on which just a pair of mustaches fit better (e. g. like Lee Van Cleef in his western movies), I prefer a beard on most of the guys but that's my opinion. Not every girl agrees.

Sour-rose · Answer

I don't like the facial sh--. Not like like a goatee or a well done mustache but I mean a out of control beard. Not that I'd kiss someone with a beard but just don't expect me to get close to your face even a little to kiss your cheek with that shi

JacobJordan · Answer

Guys should do whatever makes them feel good. I was clean shaven but found it was too much time wasted each day so now I have a full beard and mustache. I was several times a day other than that I let it do its thing

Ashley1993 · Answer

coachTanthony · Answer

Men used to keep beards in the winter and shave them in the summer. So keep the beard for survival if its cold out lol

RingOfFire · Answer

Had to be clean shaven my entire career. Now that I only work for myself, I'm diggin' having a beard. I keep it pretty short, don't like a long beard.

They were popular in the 60s when I was a kid... the hippy generation. In the 80s they were out.

They seem to be making a comeback in the last 5 years or so.

I like having one. Much easier to deal with than shaving your whole face every day.

I've got a full beard. I like the look personally, and my wife likes it as well. That's good enough for me.
