FabSwingers.com forum: To beard or not too

Ive had a really well groomed (short) beard now for over a year. And everytime I get chatting to someone and click, then the dreaded face pictures come in I get the "Im sorry I dont like Facial hair" remark and boom just like that. Convo done.

I know its all personal choice, however just a little poll vote to see for a laugh.

Is the beard phasing out?

I work in the buildings and shave my head regularly and even after a shower if I shave my head my scalp sometimes isn't fully clean . So I think it depends if you have a dirty job I would say for hygiene reasons shave it if you job is relatively clean its you own personal choice.

A well-maintained beard is great. Not a fan of long beards or stubble (ouch!).

But at the end of the day it's what's attached to the beard (i.e. the man) that matters

I can't imagine shaving off my beard. For a start I really like it and I enjoy the grooming that comes with it. I trim it with a scissors about once a week or when I'm going out.

The reason I grew it in the first place was partly financial. My facial hair is course and just eats razor blades. Depending on the job I was working on I'd have to shave twice a day.

It takes a couple of years to grow in a good beard and I can't imagine shaving it off based on anyone else's preference.

Sure others probably don't like my finely sculpted upper arms and others still probably don't like a firm peachy butt.

Can't please em all. And why would ya.

Firstly OP, it's your beard, you choice, nobody else's really.

I do shave my head alright, cause it's going anyway's.

Like what was said earlier about head shaving, it can take around or 2 to fully clean the top of the head alright.

Never attempted to grow a beard, always been clean shaven or nearly always. I did grow a tash 1 year as support for Movember. Might do it again in the future, after I change job's. Anytime I haven't shaved for a few day's & I'm wearing a top with a high neckline. It can be a pain, as the stubble gets cough in the top of the neckline of the top.

Also some stubble, beard of some sort can be a help to keep the face warm, during the winter month's. If your doing outside work like the buildings. I think you need to start growing a beard, while your young or grow a beard for awhile & if you want to you can shave it off. You can always start to grow a beard again when your older, if you want to again. As it can take years to get it right.

I've heard of men growing a beard to make them look older or look there age at least.

I did get some stick, when I had the tash for the month.

So I'm on the Fence about doing it again or even a goatie.

Each to they're own.

It’s definitely down to personal choice just like everything else. Men should do what they want to do with their own facial hair.

Personally….it’s a huge turn on for me, I absolutely adore a short well groomed beard (luckily Nuts hasn’t scarred me yet with shaving his

) or at the least a very visible stubble. I love the look on a guy….and also don’t mind the tickle

Beards don't do it for a lot of people. I've had a beard for a long time before it became a trend.

In a previous job, I was required to be shaven fresh every day and it was an absolute pain.

I could possibly do with keeping it tidy but as far as I'm concerned if a lady isn't interested, then a beard is just the excuse. Move on and don't worry
