(21,998 posts)I prefer to be clean shaven. It feels better and it's cleaner.
To each their own.
By the way, I'm a man.

(20,148 posts)A well groomed beard or goatee can be very attractive, but I hate the 3 day stubble and when they let it grow way down on their neck. How David Letterman's wife puts up with this I'll never know.

(2,343 posts)It never looks good. It's all spotty and thin, like I ain't even hit puberty yet!

(15,067 posts)And kissing that face is awful! My husband doesn't shave every day now that he's retired, and I think he looks like a 112 year old wino when he goes more than a couple of days. Needless to say, the smooches are less frequent.

(102,138 posts)think men would want to wear facial hair right now--at least if COVID-19 continues spreading... To much facial "space" for nasty viral droplets to land and remain-- not to mention temptation for stroking/touching.

(22 posts)anything that covers my face is a good thing. I tend to agree with them. So I have a beard.

(31,507 posts)don't have enough whiskers and don't even bother trying. They can go without shaving for a couple of days before you would notice. My son-in-law has a beard that looks like shredded wheat. I hate it.

(3,460 posts)I would have thought with the same set of parents, all 3 boys would be equally hairy.

(31,507 posts)in a matter of days. My dad hardly had any whiskers at all. I guess those are the genes they wound up with.

(53,410 posts)but the look of a weeks growth looks just sad, unkempt, prickly, shapeless.

(12,462 posts)Transgendered ,they. I got a goatee
It's about 2 1/2 inches long red with dual points.
I have been growing it for over 5 years. The rest of my face is smooth.
I will be really bummed if I have to shave it off. It took over five years to grow it, I love it and it will be missed terribly.

(53,410 posts)I agree that it doesnt look good when it has gray in it. It just looks unkempt, messy. But on younger men it looks good if it isnt too much. A two or three day growth is enough.

(38,303 posts)Those other guys copied me.
But my motives were pretty basic. The rashes I get from shaving look worse than a scruffy beard.
My pattern used to be this:
Shave. Interview for job. Get job. Continue shaving until someone says, "OMG! What happened to your face!"
It's probably related to this:

When my wife says I'm looking too much like Grizzly Adams I set the buzz cutter anywhere from three to seven and trim it back.

(2,343 posts)That is all I can say. Even young boys in my office do it. I struggle to understand, but certainly don't lose sleep over it.

(25,183 posts)either grow a real beard, or shave.

(15,298 posts)Tried on a couple of occasions and the best I could generate was a George Michael.
Of course, it does have it's benefits. My chest is hairless.
My brother in-law looks like a Brillo Pad when he takes his shirt off.

(12,132 posts)maybe put some little silver skulls in it. I think it would be fun at the concerts I go to.
