Beard or no Beard

[AprilMike]

I have NEVER heard a woman say she wont be with a guy because he doesnt have a beard, but I have heard the opposite.

I have yet to be refused but have had several comment on how good it feels. But then mine is very soft so that helps. Its just getting it back to the right lenght so it looks good and is nice and soft.

Ok, I never said that I wouldn't be with him because he doesn't have a beard, if that's what your meaning. And, for those women that won't be with a man because he has a beard, well, they are just stupid. And, that is all I have to say on the subject.

So much for personal preference, if it gets labeled as stupid. If someone doesn't want to do someone else for whatever reason, that's their choice and a person's intelligence really doesn't have much to do with it.

Beard or no beard, I personally don't care, since looks and personality are all weighed in their totality for me. If the beard doesn't look good and the personality isn't winning me over to get past that, then that's that. Stupid doesn't come into play on that choice. For the record, my spouse doesn't wear a goatee because it's full of gray which makes him look older. I liked my spouse with a goatee; I thought it was hot. But it's his choice.

Do whatever makes you happy regarding your facial hair, as everything with swinging ends up being a YMMV issue.

So, you will sleep with ANYBODY at ANYTIME without any reguards towards personal preferences? Must be, you wouldn't want to turn down someone over a preference and be labeled,,,,,,,,, STUPID, now would you? There is ZERO way to even defend your comment.

How about,,,,,,,, for me,,,,, when ANY beard or moutache touches my skin I almost INSTANTLY break out in hives and welts,,,,INCLUDING if my husband skips shaving for a few days. THANK you for calling me stupid,,,,,, if it my turn to open up on the insults now?

Dave switches between a full beard and a goatee every now and then, but in the 25 years we've been together, he's never shaved his mustache. He's never been turned down for sex, and if he did, he'd live. Most men in this area have either goatee's or beards. Must be the cool weather here.

It's all a personal preference. If someone preferred someone who was clean shaven, so be it. No big deal. Maybe someone, someday will turn me down because I don't have the blond hair they're wanting. *shrug* So be it.

How can a question of "Beard or no Beard?" rile people up so much?

This is one of the friendliest websites anywhere, folks, and we keep it that way by not insulting people. Please don't suggest someone else is stupid or insult anyone in any way.

If you can't post to a thread without insulting someone, it would be appreciated by me and others if you'd just not post.

Thank you for your understanding.

Let's try to keep it civil folks. Let's keep in mind that sometimes things can be taken wrong when written, things don't always come out the way we mean them. Don't take what is posted personally and if you have a bone to pick with someone, please do it in private.

To get back on the topic.

I personally have a preference against facial hair. I do like a nicely kept goatee, but very rarely do I like a full beard. This goes back to my childhood as my mother would tell you. When I was very young I was VERY scared of men with full beards (there's a lot more to it that I won't go into), but it does stand that even now I'm not fond of full facial hair and I would likely refuse to sleep with someone because I was not attracted to them based on their facial hair. Just as much as I would decline sleeping with someone for any reason that I was not attracted to them.

"Beard" is also the term for women that pose as romantic partners with gay men that haven't come out of the closet yet.

When I was reading this, I thought of all the pictures I see where kids are sitting on Santa's lap and they're literally sobbing and screaming. I remember my kids crying sitting on Santa's lap. They'd stare at his beard and just bawl.

I had no idea... I learn something new every day!

Hmmm.... I grew a goatee when I was 18, and had it when I met my first wife. (don't even ask what year that was!) When I went into the Navy and got out of boot, I grew a full beard. Then the Navy did away with beards on January 1, 1985. When I got out of the Navy in 1986, my ex-wife said, "you are going to grow your beard back aren't you?" My kids didn't know who I was, I had been at sea for 18 months.

I have had a beard ever since. A few years ago I screwed up trimming, and had to shave it off. I looked in the mirror, and said, egads! And I managed to have a respectable beard going when I met my wife a few days later.

Everyone has their preference. If someone rejects me because I have a beard, no problem

As everyone else has stated it is a preference, and I happen to be one of those women who likes a nice beard on a man. Do what makes you happy, some will like it, some won't, but what is important here is whether or not you and your SO like it.
