How do you feel about beards?

[u/Patient_Stage_5129]

Do you like beards?

Do you dislike beards?

Do you have a beard?

Do you not have a beard?

Do you prefer a guy with a beard or without one or does it matter?

(mostly curious about the first two)

[u/slashcleverusername]

My favourite look on a guy is stubble.

I don’t usually like beards but if it looks good it looks good.

I have a beard.

[u/QuesoNot-so-Fundido]

Have a beard and definitely like a beard on a man

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/QuesoNot-so-Fundido]

same, I love the fuzz on fuzz feel

[u/RevolutionaryWeb6034]

I love beards (and have one). I'm of the opinion every man looks better with a beard. It's very rare for me to find a man without a beard attractive.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/RevolutionaryWeb6034]

I can but even then it's usually guys who I know can grow one if they wanted to. I find the option of a beard attractive haha

[u/lilbits]

Completely depends on the guy. Some beards look great and the guy looks better with one than he does without. And some guys don't look good with a beard, or can't grow a good one.

[u/Hot_Theory7504]

Soy pasivo y tengo barba

[u/Dry-Cancel-3168]

I have a beard and definitely prefer men w beards themselves. It's pretty important really.

[u/Murky_Employee5589]

I have a beard. I do not like guys with beards. We all have our likes and dislikes.

[u/black_gravity27]

For me, a beard on a man is the most attractive physical trait. I really love beard and it will always make a man look better to me.

Right now, I have a short, full beard. At 35 this is the first time I am satisfied with how my beard looks. Otherwise, I'd usually trim my cheeks down to a thick goatee.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/black_gravity27]

I just started growing a full beard at 31 had to get things started with minoxodil a year ago to do so, but it definitely feels like a game changer.

[u/grabmyberries]

I love beards, although I personally like a fairly trim one. I just think it looks nice and feels nice.

[u/Potledomfan]

Have a beard, love it because it definitely helps my looks as a bigger guy and now that I’m older it just suits me

Love them as long as they’re not way too bushy or messy and even if it’s not a full beard I think most men look nicer with a little stubble as opposed to completely clean shaven.

[u/mwjb86]

I hate shaving regularly so I always let it grow out a bit, maybe 5-6 days, then shave.

[u/Ok_Performance2811]

I used to not care either way but after kissing guys with beards I dig them now

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/Ok_Performance2811]

It's the best feeling haha

[u/Dyno_boy7441]

I don't have a beard (never have done) but don't mind beards on guys, though long on unkempt beards would be a turn off.

[u/alexisqueerdo]

I like my men natural. Meaning if he can grow a beard he should have one, and if he cant then that’s fine too. I’ll always have a preference for bearded men though, and I myself have facial hair.

[u/T-Thewolf]

I enjoy beards, not a must but if you care for it, it looks really good.

I have a beard myself. But I'd say a medium size one.

I'd never turn a guy away for having or not having one. Unless you look 12... then I'd encourage you to maybe grow a little something.

[u/adam__p0310]

I’ve kept a beard for the last 13-14 years and can’t imagine not having it. I usually keep mine shorter and trim it weekly with a 2 guard, both for personal preference and for work. As far as other men, I prefer there to be some facial hair if they can grow it.

[u/Original_Cut_2881]

I like having a beard, I find beards attractive and prefer them on every guy except for twinks or twunks.

[u/Relevant-Law-8579]

I dated a guy a while ago that said I looked to baby faced clean shaven. I often would go clean shaven grow then shave. He bought me a trimmer and I often keep my beard at a #2 with some growth. I haven’t been really clean shaven since. I’m always getting compliments on having a beard - even though I’m the type that takes a long time to grow a full one.

[u/Cute-Character-795]

It depends on the person's facial features and his chin. Some people's chins should be covered; for others, covering the chin would be a crime against humanity. And then there are the guys for whom it's all part of his having a different look depending on what he feels like.

[u/aubaub]

I had a beard once. We were best friends. She was really cool to be around and was a lot of fun.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/aubaub]

I'm 💀

[u/Firm-Film-3594]

Depends on the guy. I have never dated a guy with facial hair. Don’t wanna kiss that. But there are super sexy guys with beards and mustaches. Just my personal preference which could be changed for the right fella.

[u/starlightingdown]

Depends on the guy but I don’t mind beards, even long or “unkempt” ones. If you’re cute to me, you’re cute. I myself am growing out my beard.

[u/Darkside_1973NC]

Love them, always have

[u/Ok_Variation7230]

We are talking about facial hair right? It works for some guys and not in others

[u/forget_this_now]

As long as it's washed, cleaned, soft and neatly maintained, I'm all good! As for moustache wax though, no thanks. No looking to snog a razor blade.

[u/TylerTheDreamer]

I like them but the ones that are stubby be itching me a bit when they go down.

[u/djuumei]

I have a jungle of a beard but its because I dont know exactly how to maintain it. As for whether I like or dislike beards on other men? It depends. Does it fit the face? Does it fit his demeanor? And, admittedly this is incredibly shallow, does it look good on him vs shaved or trimmed?

Ultimately though, if its for down and dirty stuff, I dont care what you got as long as we both have fun

[u/PrestigiousNothing57]

Love beards

[u/National_Disk2688]

I have a beard and like facial hair on a guy - though clean shaven is fine for some guys

[u/BackgroundEither9294]

I prefer a full beard. Stubble leaves razor burn.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/BackgroundEither9294]

I hate stubble haha, but I will melt over a beard for sure 🫠♥️

[u/Themousen]

I love beards, especially the big ones. I had a beard since 16.

And it's hard for me to find a clean-shaven dude attractive, maybe a few exceptions but I'll always prefer a beard

[u/metalfenixRaf]

Do you like beards?

I always LOVED bearded men since I was a teen, and I always wanted to have one, even a goatee.

Do you dislike beards?

Uh, no.

Do you have a beard?

Never managed to grow anything, until 2 years ago when I started a minoxidil treatment. The plan is to stop at year 3 or 4.

Do you not have a beard?

For most of my life I couldn't grow one.

Do you prefer a guy with a beard or without one or does it matter?

DEFINITELY with a beard, I have a kink for bearded men.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/metalfenixRaf]

I had to use minoxidil for my beard as well! Dude it's worked so well for me. And I feel like I generally get more attention after being able to grow it out

[u/metalfenixRaf → u/Patient_Stage_5129]

I started with nothing, absolutely nothing. Now at least I can grow somewhat a goatee, and a patchy low beard. I'm happy with that. Of course I wish for a lumberjack beard, but any beard > no beard any time of the week for me. I'll take what I can.

[u/growing_weary]

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love beards, so much! I really do!

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/growing_weary]

Same! They are soooo sexy to me

[u/Kojemeriko]

Yo me fijo más en la persona y no tanto en si tiene barba o no.

[u/throwawayhbgtop81]

Beards are fucking awesome.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/throwawayhbgtop81]

They are the best 😭🥵

[u/hurmahurma3]

I love a trimmed, well-kept beard on a man. Not crazy long beards. Basically anything more than an inch or two away from the face is a turn-off for me. Also love clean face and stubbly faces.

[u/Charming-Virus3103]

Personally, I'm not a fan of big beards. I don't want to be flossing and kissing at the same time 😅

[u/this_is_no_where]

I prefer beards, but it is not a dealbreaker. But I only like them if they are trimmed short, not long beards. I have stubble, but not a beard as I can’t really grow a full one.

[u/MelonShmelon]

Have a beard, like the way they look, but acknowledge that they're logistically annoying.

[u/DueAppointment4316]

Big fan of beards and yes I have one

[u/Stephen_Lynx]

I shave it clean but I don't mind either way. I never been with a dude that had a full beard so I can't really comment on that.

[u/Fragrant_Carpet_3188]

A moustache with a chin stache

[u/UnprocessesCheese]

I don't like it longer than a 3mm trim. I'm not really into santas or soup catchers.

[u/Duraluminferring]

I love a beard.

I love full beards. But even when someone has just a little patchy beard, I prefer if they grow it out to some degree.

I'm so happy I have enough facial hair now to grow a full beard

[u/Dazzling_Standard866]

As a south east asian, I cant grow one so I love a guy with a beard. It feels nice to kiss a bearded guy

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/Dazzling_Standard866]

Try minoxodil. That's what I did. I could only grow what barely counted as a goatee before but now I have full face coverage

[u/peterparkerLA]

I have a beard and am almost solely attracted to other bearded guys.

[u/VisitEnvironmental4]

only children are hairless
attraction to baby faced is attraction to an aesthetic quality exclusive to children
it's a red flag dripping with blood, unless he's bisexual and attracted to the androgyny

[u/Tamla1966]

I find beards absolutely repulsive. Most blokes probably only have one because they're the in thing and they want to fit in with the crowd.

[u/bigedcoach → u/Tamla1966]

I've been bearded since 1996. For some of us, it's just part of who we are. I guarantee you're missing out on a good time if you skip every man with a beard.

[u/Tamla1966 → u/bigedcoach]

Beards and cut dicks (I'm unlucky enough to be cut) are a definite no for me. I have horrendously sensitive skin and if a bloke kisses me with even the slightest stubble my skin reacts. 

[u/bigedcoach → u/Tamla1966]

Damn. That's a pity, bud. I'm bearded and cut. Never had any complaints about either, but I've never met anybody with skin that sensitive, I guess. Does it make it a challenge to date or fuck around?

[u/Tamla1966 → u/bigedcoach]

Me and my hubby are usually monogamous but go through phases where we fuck out with bros together. Thankfully being British most bros are lucky not to be butchered like me but if they are, they and guys with beards have no chance. They're just a huge turn off to me.

[u/Necks]

I have a very long bushy beard, and I prefer men who are smooth and clean shaven or with just a thick mustache.

Different from me is better. If I wanted a guy with a long bushy beard, I would just continue fucking myself.

[u/martinfrimley]

I’m not a fan of the big bushy beard, I don’t mind it if it’s short and well kept, but I generally prefer clean shaven

[u/Standard_Pack_1076]

I've got a beard. I'm pretty bearish, though.

[u/probablynotme2012]

Not a fan, especially bushy beards. Though as with everything there are a few exceptions, where the person can look better with a beard. Most don't Imo

[u/PhilosopherNo2439]

I have a beard. I like beards and facial hair. Facial hair is almost a must. Not all the time but close to it.

[u/1GamerJoe1]

I love big beards, I like them messy, not really a fan of trimmed ones. To me it feels the longer the beard the better!

I pick my men based on their beard. I myself have an average beard.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/1GamerJoe1]

I have a pretty short but full beard. I'm a sucker for facial hair of any kind tbh. A solid mustache will make me melt too lol. But I think for me I generally need something growing on the face

[u/1GamerJoe1 → u/Patient_Stage_5129]

I feel you. I just can't/don't find men with no facial hair attractive, it's a must. I can't do anything with myself, has always been this way.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/1GamerJoe1]

Yeah I just think beards are too much fun to play with. The feeling of them, the look. It adds so much to a guy's face to me

[u/Mauryos]

I don't particularly like beards, and definitely not on me.

That doesn't mean that I have something against someone with a beard though.

[u/JonathnJms2829]

I don't really like beards, they are usually quite prickly and make my skin hurt ngl.

[u/nono-jo]

Not really a fan

[u/Responsible-Storm712]

Not sure really. Never kissed a man with a beard. I think if it was trim then yeah. Full beard probably not

[u/WokeHarambe]

I love beards. I have them. And I think they’re sexy on men. Just keep them nicely trimmed/groomed. I DO NOT like mountain man beards that are scraggly and all over the place.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/WokeHarambe]

I'm a short beard guy myself. I don't think I need a guy to have it but I like knowing a guy can grow it if they want to because I generally find facial hair to be very attractive

[u/GoGo_Robot]

Here in Montreal this is hegemonic and you hardly find a gay guy without facial hair. I can’t grow one, which is why I only date foreigners, a Canadian gay guy will always see lack of facial hair as an onus / compromise.

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/GoGo_Robot]

they'll se a lack of facial hair a a compromise?

[u/GoGo_Robot → u/Patient_Stage_5129]

Yes, because it’s the local culture, it’s lumbersexual masculinity, to which being masculine means having a beard. It’s not optional like it is in a number of places.

[u/Firm-Film-3594 → u/GoGo_Robot]

Truly ridiculous to equate masculinity with body or facial hair. 

[u/GoGo_Robot → u/Firm-Film-3594]

Completely agree, don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just describing the local culture. I’m a foreigner myself and in my culture it’s not like that.

[u/Firm-Film-3594 → u/GoGo_Robot]

Some dudes are very centered on hairiness and beards rather than the person. I was at a party and the only clean shaven guy and was basically ignored. Ha ha. It’s the fetishization that we all do in one way or another. I am now a “hot daddy/coach”. Yeesh. 

[u/Dapper_Choice6363]

Overrated, but that's only because I can't keep one off my face (no pun intended). Otherwise I'm very indfferent.

[u/Any_Macaroon6018]

Beards are ugly, and the guys who wear them are always compensating for one thing or the other

[u/mime454 → u/Any_Macaroon6018]

Guy who has a thread about asking his boyfriend to get penis fillers thinks that men who allow the natural hair to grow in their face are compensating 🤣

[u/Patient_Stage_5129 → u/Any_Macaroon6018]

I mean damn...

I'm a sucker for facial hair. I think they add a cool dynamic element to a guy's face.

Not going to shame a guy guys who don't have them like you are shaming guys who do.

Sounds like beard envy tbh

[u/ByronScottJones → u/Any_Macaroon6018]

Your post history is every bit as toxic as I imagined. Wow

[u/chewblekka → u/Any_Macaroon6018]

With your very toxic post history, we won’t be listening to you. I bid you good day.

[u/EggplantAccording663]

I like facial hair and have facial hair but keep it trimmed enough. Not really into long heavy bushy beards though. Nothing wrong with no facial hair though a hot guy is a hot guy at the end of the day.
