Women of DU: Do you like the beard on the fellas?

[Robb]

O, beautiful and brilliant ladies of DU (man, whadda suck-up!) -- what do you think of the men and their beards?

[hlthe2b]

1. Yes, but not the scraggly kind...

Nor the C Everett Koop kind! (nor Mutton chops!) LOL

[Whitacre D_WI]

3. Hey...

Koop is HOT!

[hlthe2b]

9. Sure....

if you're Amish! LOL

[MaineDem]

2. I've been married almost 30 years and ...

I've never known my husband without a beard. I guess I'd say I'm okay with beared men. :D

[put out]

5. Yes, beards.

Always look twice at a well-groomed (there's the caveat) bearded man. No androgyny for me, at least in physicality. Not entirely true, I like short, slightly built men. Well, I guess I haven't decided; I like them all.

4. not a big fan

but i'd put up with it.

6. Indecisive Libra here

On some o fmy guys I've really liked it. I had a boyfriend back in college who when he shaved I found out he had no jawline and no chin. Eep.

What I really prefer though is that scratchy stubbly thing. It tickles. ;-)

7. Depends on the beard

Depends on the fella, too.

[Scout]

13. same here

depends on the guy and the beard together.

I love my husband's beard, it's not scratchy, and I prefer the way he looks as opposed to without it.

edit: don't forget to keep it well groomed! no scragglies.

8. I don't like beards. My husband has a goatee (sp) and that looks

really good on him. Don't really care for a full on beard. On the right face, I can hardly resist a handelbar moustache. Not many men can carry those off.

[SOteric]

10. Love 'em.

Love, love, love 'em.

But 'Robb is a dingbat' has a certain ring to it, too.

[TrogL]

11. Homophobic - I'm telling!!

Ank has a scraggly sort of goatee. Every day I he comes and asks me if it's straight. I tell him it's gay.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

12. I don't like facial hair on my sex partners...

that's all I'm going to say. More than that is just TMI. :)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

14. Clean shaven please

it's bad enough you men have uncontrollable hair in places like noses, backs, and ears without having scratchy hair on their face.

[populistmom]

15. Sarah's finicky facial hair preferences

clean shaven- good :)
mustache alone- usually good on most men (as long as it's not too Wayne Newtonish or Hitlerish) :)
mustache and short goatee- good :)
mustache and short to medium full beard- good :)
mustache and shaggy, long goatee- bad :(
mustache and shaggy, long beard- bad :(
any beard or goatee without a mustache- bad Amish man :( :eyes:
"soulpatch"- :wtf: and bad

[WindRavenX]

16. They rawk

Not a full beard, but goatees are totally hawt :D
