Whenever my ExH grew a beard I got a horrible rash on my face and it really put me off kissing him - which annoyed him - and I'm afraid that put me off beards generally.

I dislike beards AND pubes so I see your point!

CerseiHeartsJaime4ever · 18/01/2016 13:07

DP has a huge beard. When Im cleaning the bath and find a hair, I've got no idea which area it's from Confused He keeps it in a goatee now from my complaining!

Elledouble · 18/01/2016 13:12

I like a beard! I prefer men a bit hairy. Mmm, manly! The hair isn't wiry and pube-y once it gets past the stubble stage and if it's well cared for.

RookieMonster · 18/01/2016 13:15

Beards are amazing and I wish my dh could/would grow one. He never gets past the rough stubble stage.

MistressDeeCee · 18/01/2016 13:30

I don't mind a short neatly trimmed beard. But the full beard with sideburns look that seems to be ever more common nowadays - yuk. I was out at the pub on Friday celebrating a friend's birthday, a guy with said full beard and sideburns was strutting around.. one of those who has to be in as many people's eyeline as possible at all times. So Im guessing its a trendy style to have & there's more to come

A guy I know is lovely but his beard grows downwards almost a foot long. Its clean neat and tidy but still whenever I talk to him all I can think about/see is BEARD. Nothing wrong with being different or setting trends mind you, but this particular one I don't find attractive at all. I hope its not handlebar moustaches next...

tillytown · 18/01/2016 15:10

I hate beards, regardless of how clean and/or well dressed they are, if they have a beard they are dirty to me.

coffeetasteslikeshit · 18/01/2016 15:18

I'm not keen on beards, but I've never thought of pubes when I look at them!

I love hairy men though, especially that bit that goes from their belly button to their actual pubes. If I came across a man who shaved his pubes I'd run a mile Wink

GreatFuckability · 18/01/2016 15:34

I love beards. This trend is perfect and long may it continue!

Thenightswatch · 18/01/2016 15:56

I hate long beards, short beards And stubble I can deal with, but long beards just gross me out, not sure why... I always think there must be sweat and food and all sorts of dirt in there

Do men shampoo long beards? Hmm

TheCatsMeow · 18/01/2016 16:38

I like short beards, not keen on massive ones but a short beard is a good look

Chattymummyhere · 18/01/2016 16:42

I hate beards never thought of the pube thing before but now you've mentioned it op it does look like it. I couldn't miss someone who's not cleanly shaven I hate meeting new people where the man wants to kiss my cheek with his face full of beard yuk.

hollowlegs · 18/01/2016 18:45

Op, you are saying what lots of us have always secretly thought.

Full grown beards DO look like pubic hair
.
When I see a pube style beard I wonder what the man is trying to hide:
a weak chin, funny shaped lips, zits, crumbs. Shock
Whatever it is, it definitely doesn't look sexy.

And while we're on the subject, why is it that some men with dark hair end up with a ginger beard? Confused Does that mean their pubes are ginger as well?
just seems wrong somehow

hollowlegs · 18/01/2016 18:47

A very short beard is sexy.

NewYearSameMe · 18/01/2016 19:16

I'm not keen on them, but moustaches without beards are worse. My H currently has a full beard. I only noticed on Friday, he must have been growing it for at least a week as it's pretty long. Just goes to show how little attention I pay to him, I can't have looked directly at him for days before last Friday.

When I worked there was a guy on the team with a short but fairly shaggy moustache and beard. We went out to the pub for a team lunch on a Friday and there was always a scramble for a seat that wasn't directly opposite him because a curry-dipped moustache was nauseating.

RookieMonster · 18/01/2016 20:19

I saw a fully-bearded, well-quaffed, tight-trousered, pointy-shoed man today at the museum and I had to try hard not to stare. It was as if he stepped out of those pictures up there. I was fascinated.

StiickEmUp · 18/01/2016 20:23

Probably because I am from Brighton - hipster ville original, London stole the style from us - I love a beard.

Then again, my dad has one and smooth faces make me feel sick.

Uurrggh. Hate 'em. DH loves watching Fast & Loud on the Discovery channel. Watching Aaron Kaufman's beard, admittedly a sight to behold and something that has probably taken years of cultivation, makes me feel queasy. It looks so dry and crispy it makes me want to smother it in conditioner

Sparklingbrook · 18/01/2016 20:35

I don't like beards. Or man buns. Don't mind a bit of stubble.

hollowlegs · 18/01/2016 20:59

Stiick~EmUp, if all men with beards looked like that pic, I would make myself like beards.
Unfortunately, the majority of bearded men I've seen are usually minging or hiding some facial feature they're not happy with, weak chin or zits or they think it will make them look more manly.
Don't get me started on men over 50, who are having a mid-life crisis and think growing a scraggly greyish brown beard will miraculously make them look younger.

StiickEmUp · 18/01/2016 21:32

We do have sexy men like that here who i must admit turn my head.

The others, i do not judge for spots, bad condition.
If they like it, who cares.

Its not like they rush up to smother me with them.
Not even the good looking ones haha.

I more dislike the tight jeans, with no socks but pointy shoes.
Its not the hipsters in those, its the ... Well we used to call them townies when i was at school.

mamacasshadahairyass · 18/01/2016 21:51

DH has a beardy friend who rides a vintage motorbike and wears an open face helmet. He takes a comb with him to comb out all the dead bugs that get stuck in it

blueshoes · 18/01/2016 21:54

I hate hipster beards with a passion. Stiick's picture gives me the rage.

coffeetasteslikeshit · 19/01/2016 07:26

Ew, man buns, they really are hideous!
