AIBU?

to think beards and moustaches on men are generally very unattractive and probably unhygenic too?

I really can't stand beards and moustaches on guys, especially the bushy kind, especially when not a very nice colour and especially when on men with a lesser than average amount of hair on the top of their head.... Yuck!

They seem increasingly popular, especially with 20-30 somethings, though. Unfathomable to me. Am I alone in thinking this way? Too old? Too prudish? A bit of designer stubble is the most I can tolerate, but hate how spiky it feels on DH.

Ha ha oh yes. Let's judge how men ought to appear. Ha ha.
No wait. The other thing.

HATE beards and moustaches - as well as being extremely unattractive, I also think they're unhygienic.

Would never, ever fancy a man with either.

Hate moustaches. I mean, HATE.

Beards ... Neither here nor there, depends on the bloke.

Bit of stubble - now that's really hot Blush

In your opinion they are unattractive and may be unhygienic. In my opinion a beardless man is a beard boyish and boring.

However that's not the case for my DP. He has a massive beard and he's lovely and clean.

All down to opinion/preference I guess.

Oh dear god I wasn't expecting to see a picture of Ron Jeremy on this thread. I find him incredibly repulsive; he looks smelly and sweaty, and don't even get me started on his porn films [boak]. Where's my eye bleach.

Ron Jeremy looks like he eats his own toenails and says "ooh smell that!" when he farts.

Makes me want to vomit!

Moustaches are awful. I've been frightened of them ever since I saw Daniel Day Lewis in gangs of New York, him in that movie gave me nightmares Sad.

I don't understand this beard trend tbh. They used to be reserved for old men and hippies really, now all and sundry have one. Some men can pull it off but the fact so many men have them now puts me off, over done.

I do prefer a bit of stubble on a man though. Clean shaven is for little boys Wink.

This thread is OVER. * bangs gavel*

If Sean and his lovely Beans come to visit, DH knows where I'll be.

Oooh, he's lovely. I'll still fancy him when he's 70.

I like beards and moustaches (see post above) however......

having experienced the joys of a man who is not afraid to show his appreciation "downstairs", I have also experienced the pain of top-of-the-thigh stubble rash :o
Why is it so scratchy?!

valerie SB is an unfair example. I would shag him regardless of his facial hair preferences. Purely on looks (shallow), wouldnt want a relationship with him as he is by all accounts a bit of an arse!

YANBU. everywhere I am seeing beautiful men sporting horrendous facial hair which makes them look like they smell. I weep for the yoof of today.

Daniel Day Lewis' acting in Gangs of New York was enough to give me nightmares.

I love facial hair. Proper beards, not bum fluff & stubble. I'm a pogonophile & proud. Well, as long as there's some effort at grooming it.

Yabu and I present my evidence below. Now I have demonstrated that beards are so sexy attractive I will read what everyone else has said.

YY to stubble btw. The look of it anyhow. The feel I'm less keen on.

I have had a beard for forty years, before I met DW. Lost it infer chemo and she insisted I let it grow back!
