Beard...or Clean-Shaven? (Question to the Ladies...and Guys Too)

[AliArz]

Ladies & Gentlemen,

My questions are the following...

1.) To the ladies, which is more attractive to you, and why: a man with a beard, or one who is clean-shaven?

2.) To the guys, which is more cool for you, to wear a beard or to shave it, and why?


I am thinking of growing a beard for exprerimentation, but I am doing it in the middle of the University's 2nd term now, lol.

Usually, I am the clean-shaven type, but I am wondering if a beard will give a better image of me or not (in terms of physical appearance).

Facial hair makes a guy more manly, and less boyish...right?

All response would truly be apreciated.

Take good care,

Ali Arz

I shave like once a week. Dont mind light facial hair.

Only had like a long thick beard once a couple of years ago, but that was out of laziness and i hated it.

[El]

clean shaven, and was wondering if i can shave my head also.

as you said AliArz it's more clean shaven, the beard give a more grown up appearance, but in my opinion, the beard is a sign of less self confident.

And i'm sure girls enjoy kissing a shaved cheek :-) ma heik?

Lebanese Pride,

Thank you for your feedback!

Indeed, that was my main concern too, lol.

It came to a point when I realised that shaving the beard every day woudn't help me out much, for many reasons...

First, the beard would grow subtle the next day, then, when I shave, I still commit errors, especially those razor burns, and it came to a point when I would run out of time or simply get lazy to do it all again.

Then, as a result, I get the impression that many people see me as a "young boy", instead of the "wise man" look.

That is why I am trying out for a clean and well groomed facial hair, one that is not fancy or arrogant, but simply natural and magnetic to the viewer.

Few people seem to pull off a good beard.

Nonetheless, the clean-shaven look is still my personal favourite, and I don't know why.

But everyone's opinions on the beard will help me out better, because many times, I am wrong on matters of building a physical image.

Walla? I hope people didnt give you a hard time when you had the thick beard...

Hope all is well,

Ogeorge,

Why shave the head???

I never knew that the beard can be seen as a sign of a less confident person, that's interesting to know.

Eh, akid, girls like clean-shaven men, wallaw!

But once, I decided to grow a little facial hair, and all the hottest, top model women who have their own business and drove fast cars...I got their attention!!!

I don't know why...I don't know if it is the facial hair that made the trick for me.

The problem is that I have brown/blondish/reddish hair.

When I grew my mustache, it was bad because I let it grow for 3 weeks, and it was too transparent for people to see.

I hope the beard won't do the same, and I don't think it will because already, it has a dark brown/reddish colour that is growing.

But the clean-shaven look...does it make you more manly, still?

Would people take you seriously?

Or will you always be seen as "goofy" and "kiddy"?

Hope all is well,

Ali Arz

I agree absolutely!:p The worst is when the beard is not too long just 1-2 days old, then the kissing is really not enjoyable:D
For me long beard looks rather silly than manly, cmon guys we dont live in the stone age anymore, you dont need to look hairy in order to be more manly! I wouldnt like to kiss a long beard man at all:D as he would remind me rather to grandpa or santa claus:D
On the other hand, a nice lil goatee looks cool, for example :

Just a little off-topic note:

Sincerely guys, excuse my question (no offense I swear)... But are you seriously discussing this subject? :S

You're welcome after all bass enno...hmm...What will we be debating next?

But I can see it's funny anyway... So I hope you enjoy the thread ...

I'm not a big fan of beards though mine takes like a week or even more to start growing... I like light facial hair no more and definitly no less...

it nice to have a 2 week old beard, reminds me of the fighters returning from the fronts during the war... there was always something sexy about those guys....
but in civilian life, and when it comes to my better half, I prefer clean shaven twice a day preferably, so my face won t get red bumps, if u get my drift.....
