I reckon over half the men on OLD have beards and I don't like them

I know that probably sounds shallow Grin but I just never fancy men with beards. Must be my age range because there are just so many. Might give up on OLD because I think attraction is very hard based on just photos once you get to a certain age.

Send them my way - i love beards!

How long have you been OLD? Give it longer....

cheshirebloke · 14/09/2022 16:23

When I was doing OLD a little while back, about half the women mentioned in their profiles that a match needed to have beard and tattoos. I'd rather stay single than grow a beard lol. Luckily my current partner prefers me clean shaven.

They go through me, all those rumours of poo particles 😂😂 how do you intimately kiss a man with a beard, I just can't imagine it!!

Aikko · 14/09/2022 16:49

Are we talking a beard beard, or stubble? 😅

Zippedydoo123 · 14/09/2022 16:54

Yes I hate beards. I think it makes men look unkempt.

heatissweet · 14/09/2022 17:02

Talking beard here, not just stubble. Mostly grey/semi grey, but I don't like them in any colour option Grin

Totally fine not to like them, but they are currently in fashion. I like a beard personally. Perhaps put in your profile you don’t like them? If about half have them then half don’t!

WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps · 14/09/2022 17:06

I loathe them too. I have always told DH that I will not kiss him as long as he has one. Kissing a man with a beard is fucking foul. Makes me retch. Hate it with a passion. Definitely a dealbreaker for me.

MintJulia · 14/09/2022 17:06

I'm with you OP. Just not ... ok .. somehow.

Always4Brenner · 14/09/2022 17:07

Hate beards too.

Draughtycatflapreturns · 14/09/2022 17:09

There’s nothing like a bit of beard burn on the pussy lips.

Dillydollydingdong · 14/09/2022 17:10

My dp has a cute little goatee. Love it! Not big bushy beards though!

Pointless, as most men don't actually read profiles!

heatissweet · 14/09/2022 17:19

I won't put it on my profile that I don't like them as I just would avoid swiping on those ones.
Notaboutthebass been on there a couple of weeks

I think it'd be different if I was already with someone then they grew a beard, because I would already be attracted to them. But a stranger who has got one, well I wouldn't be likely to be attracted to them, I wouldn't want to kiss them.

It's funny how you say you couldn't kiss a sranger with a beard, I get how people have preferences, I really do. I just think it's so manly, the thicker and longer the better!

Beards are just face pubes

Oopsiedaisyy · 22/11/2022 20:02

I actually like bearded men.

In a relationship with a clean shaven man off Tinder 😂

waterSpider · 22/11/2022 20:05

Woe betide a man saying he's only interested in women who shave certain areas ...

Sunnytwobridges · 22/11/2022 20:28

I love close shaven beards, not the long ones. oddly I don't like a clean shaven face, for some reason.

Plenty do exactly that. Constantly.

youhavenoshameonyourface · 22/11/2022 20:43

I can't stand a beard either, I just think of Mr Twit with all the stuff stuck in it. They aren't just a bit of beard nowadays either, they are MASSIVE long beards like a viking. I like to feel skin on skin when I kiss someone - not hairy mclarey!
