    Easy answer: everyone is different.

    My take on this would be: no one has ever lost a bang due to being clean shaven.

    They better like beards. Or else.

    According to one episode I saw of Beavis and Butthead... I have it on good authority that "beards are like, so 80's"... but then that show was made in the 90's, so it's a bit hard to know at this stage.
    It all depends on the individual I think, some women like beards, some don't... some men look better with beards or without.
    I'd say post up some before and after pics, and all the chicks here can tell you which one looks better. ;)

    Depends on the individual. I know several male specimens with... ah, highly attractive facial hair. But on the other hand, I know several more who I struggle not to run at with a razor every time I see them.

    depends on the girl and her personal taste. as it does with most things.

    also depends on the guy a bit though. some guys look well with a bit of facial hair, others you just wanna grab a razor immediately.

    do women like beards / facial hair in general?

    How many people do you know with beards?

    What % have wives/girlfriends?

    How many people do you know without beards?

    What % have wives/girlfriends?

    Compare the two percentages et. voila! Of course all women are different.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    Some women like ladies with beards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,252 ✭✭✭Funkstard


    Only if it's 'designer stubble', apparantly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Look, any women who isn't insanely attacted to big manly facial hair like this is bonkers.

    Aye, 'tis brilliant.

    But, for genuinely sexy facial hair, I don't think you can beat this guy. What a 'stache! *Swoon*

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    Growing a beard now. A hit with the girlfriend. Didn't think it would be to be honest but she likes to surprise me sometimes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Now THIS is a ****ing beard to end all beards. It's a beard so beardious in beardery it consumes lesser beards! :eek:

    Maths. Is there anything it can't do?
    :p

    tbh with you mate, I'd say you'd get away with a scruffy look, rugged or whatever and yeah, lots of girls would be into that.

    But full on ZZ Top...nah, I don't think you're onto a winner there!

    Also, as Dublin dude sais, you wont miss out on much being clean shaven, but could miss a lot with a rug on your face....actually, I dunno...if you're pig ugly you should probably keep the disguise/beard...

    Only you can answer this tbh...

    nope no facial hair for me thanks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭angeldelight


    Personally I hate it. I love clean shaven guys, but my bf has decided to grow a beard - not enough to make me change my mind about him now but if he'd had it when I met him I might have had second thoughts about him

    Nope, I don't like beards, but a clean shaven man floats my boat

    We all have our tastes, I guess. But I don't understand that then. Beard is a natural thing. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,082 ✭✭✭lostexpectation


    Between designer stuble and lets say 3 day growth?

    and when did women start shaving? legs etc

    Designer stubble is carefully pruned to stay a particular way.
    3 day growth is... well, 3 day growth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    no, but then again it depends on the person. my dream guy has one (of sorts), and damn he looks hot


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    I love facial hair! I've not been with a clean cut lads in years!
    Sarky's beard is cool.
