Yes or no, ladies? I myself prefer a clean-shaven gent, but there are a few (very few) who suit facial hair.

As for me, mine's coming on a treat! DD

    Again, depends on the man and the shape of his face/chin. My BIL really suits one, looks better with it than without it. DD

    My OH has a goatie, he looks better with it than without, he looks much younger without it.

    like DD said it depends on the man.

    Hi DD,

    It does so depend on the face...... I worked with a guy who had a beard and he looked good he shaved it off and well he re-grew it as it can hid a few things eh>

    Like you mines down to my dollar bones now :lol::lol::lol: xx

    Hi Sharon,

    A ((((( ))))) and your OH has cool hair as well :D Bubbles and xx

    No beards or tache for me. Only ever got close to one with a tache and regret it!

    Thanks to increasing testosterone levels, alanmancunian, I am! Wondrous moustache too, which, being blonde, I tend not to see until the sun hits at the right angle then - quelle horreur! The car's rear view mirror is also very good for highlighting my Gallagher Brothers eyebrows. If a man suits a beard you don't notice he has one. DD

    I don't like beards, I love them so much I have worn one for many years. Even looked like ZZ Top for quite a while, but trimmed it down as age and styles changed.

    I have naturally worn a 'full set' for years, currently fairly short, just long enough to look neat.

    depends who is wearing it :wink:

    My dad had to stop shaving for a while on doctors orders, and well he never shaved again :lol::lol:

    can't imagine him without it now ..... and no-one would recognise him! he bears a likeness to RIcky TOmlinson and has been accused of being him several times by those at the races who have had a few drinks :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    As for my hubby ....... one days' stubble is ok, but more than that and he looks like he is living on the streets :oops: I do so prefer him clean-shaven.

    Mine is coming on a treat thanks :oops: :oops: :oops:

    :D I love my hubby's well trimmed goatee and tash. Never known him without, except one time he shaved it off, and I could not quite place what was different, except that he looked ill! Thank goodness, he re-grew it. :D It is a different colour now, to what it was 37 years ago but that has been gradual :D

    I could not care less if other men have, a beard etc, stubble or clean shaven. I can cope, should I need to do so :lol::lol:

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    I don't like facial hair, much prefer men clean-shaven and so did my mum..........my brother was away for three months back in my teen years and when he came home he'd grown a beard and moustache.......Mum wouldn't let him back in the house till he shaved it off!

    Hi - really suits S. I know I'm biased but he is so drop-dead gorgeous!!!
    He started growing facial hair and I used to help him shave at weekends ... as it grew a bit faster and thicker - I guess I got used to seeing him more with a beard than without. One day I helped him shave at the weekend - and realised he actually looked odd!! He looked more himself with it. So I bought him a beard trimmer and he has the "designer stubble" look - he is delighted!!

    As for whether I find it a turn on (on someone else of course) ... depends on the guys colouring, how they wear the hair on their head and how long or short and how shaped it is etc ...

    My husband grows one for winter, says it keeps him warm. Shaves it off in the summer. It's like living with two men!!! Beth

    Well biddy, the mind boggles! DD (who unfortunately lives only with the one man). (Though rather fancies the idea of two.) (The current one and one who's taller.) (And younger.) (COR!)

    If a man suits a beard you don't notice he has one.

    Until he kisses you :!: :!: :D:D

    Beards look ridiculous on some men, and wonderful on others. Best to kiss one of the wonderful ones :!: :lol:
