To find beards repulsive and to be utterly weirded out by moustaches?

[duchesse]

I can't look at most bearded men without thinking "grubby" and moustaches just make me think of the 1930s and all those control-freak fascists. AIBU?

mmmmmm
beards
my favourite

duchesse - lol @ faded, flaky Magnum

Ooooh, they make me itchy, hate them, they just look grubby.....

oh i love beards, but not long flowing ones

moustaches on their own, no

I wouldn't go that far but I don't like them much.

I always think they have bits of food stuck in them . And I think people with moustaches look suspicious!! lol.

i love mustaches,. either curly like poirots or long and droopy a la 70s porn star.
although i wouldn't kiss one

princessmel- my point exactly about beards- grubby grubby grubby. And the David Blunkett moth-eaten look? < Urgh >

occasionally a beard can work. Moustachios alone, no. Not at all, ever.

However the acceptable beard does need a tache to go with it. Otherwise you just have a freaky bloke.

Love love love beards - am always trying to convince DH to let his grow which he occasionally does, but it always gets shaved off eventually as he says it makes him itchy.

Love Beards. Love the feel of them, love the blokiness of them, love the implied outdoor, non-grooming wild way of life.

My dh has a beard. have never seen his face naked. It is better than bristly stubble I'd say.

"control-freaky fascists" duchesse??

ps Rustybear have just seen your dh's pic - he does really suit a beard, you are right.

Dh has a beard (relatively recent innovation - it started as a zit which was an excuse for not shaving for a week then went bloody rampant).

I absolutely fucking hate it. It is itchy & it might not be 'grubby' (dh v hurt at this suggestion & insists it is washed vigorously daily) but in my head it jolly well is.

I do admittedly have a pre-existing beard phobia - down to late dh1 who had some serious mental health issues, & whose beard was a fairly accurate barometer of them - when it started looking Catweazle-esque I knew I was in for a lively few weeks of dv & general manicness...

Did I mention I really don't like beards?!

oh raven. would be beside myself if dh decided a beard was a good idea! yuk. tell him this is a non negotiable no no..... or at least if he wants to have sex ever again...

Heh.

Dh has decided that me telling him how to look is a 'non negotiable no no'.

Also that my being freaked out by it is my problem not his. I suppose he's right. I know it's pathetic. But there's a little rogue bit of my brain that will insist on shouting 'Beard! Aaargh! Scary violent stranger who's taken over dh!'

I am hoping that eventually he will get bored with cultivating the face fungus. Meanwhile he loves it, he thinks it looks great - actually, since I made him trim it like Robbie Rotten's pirate beard it is quite cool. Just not if you're his dw & cringing every time the horrible thing touches you...

control-freaky- yeah, you know, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Oswald Moseley, Hercule Poirot...

YANBU - I have am severely prejudiced against people with facial hair

raven - if you make him trim it all the time it will always be scratchy. I do tend to avoid DH when he's just trimmed his....

Oh and one thing to establish right from the start is that he doesn't trim it over the washbasin & leave the hairs sticking all round the bowl.....

mustaches are a big NO unless you are sportacus and then I will make an exception
