Poll question: Facial hair: attractive physical feature or scourge of mankind?
Discuss this while I go get my laundry.

"Scourge" gets my vote. I hate shaving. x(

1. Scourge.
Kissing should not be abrasive.

27. Well, you could always shave.
:shrug: but really, I love you and think you're marvelously attractive, so I can't see that it's a big deal.

29. Not on my account
I mean, maybe I'd like it on you? Might as well wait until I get to visit and see before making any changes. :)

3. You value the hair on your face..
... more and more as you lose the hair on your head.

4. Scourge
Because I hardly ever have the time to shave, and I hate having to think about it. By the time wednesday rolls around, I have to get up a little earlier to scrape a razor over my face. Facial hair is a serious pain in the ass.

20. In that case....
..whew...not to worry. Superfluous hair on boys is not, or should not, be the girl's biggest worry.

Trust me :)

7. Scourge. Definitely a scourge.
Shaving is a pain in the ass, and what little facial hair I can grow is not attractive.

8. I like short facial hair on my men.
I think it's sexy.


I hate shaving so I wish I didn't have any facial hair.

10. I think it depends
On the type of facial hair, and the shape of your face... among other things.

I can go either way, but I do love a nice beard. And judging by your pics, you'd look great with one. :)

12. I have a fucked up bald spot under my chin.
There's this little circle where the hair grows infinitely slower than anywhere else.

But, I don't like the stuff anyway so it doesn't really matter. :shrug:

18. A fine choice!
The reason I have a waxing kit, is because I tried it, and haven't touched it since! Holy hell that stuff hurts! (I probably should have only used it on my legs, but that's a whole different discussion ;))

25. On women, scourge; on men, it depends:
if it's a goatee, it's okay.

If it's sideburns, scourge.

If it's a beard with no mustache, scourge.

If it's a goatee with no mustache, scourge.

If it's facial hair beard shorn down to a Don "Asshole" Johnson Miami Vice level, scourge.

If it's untrimmed, and one is not known as "Amish John" or "Mennonite Yoder" or "Schlomo Greenberg", scourge.

30. It's like everything else and depends on the person, I think.
What suits one man might not suit another.

38. Depends
I used to hate it, but I've come to enjoy it. Stubble still isn't pleasant, but in another day or so, it gets pretty nice :3
