I don't like the duck dynasty look but recently discovered I'm good with a soft short, clean beard.
Life is short, enjoy your hair.

I like the beard look that is currently in. But I don’t find having a six pack and some gorgeous celebrity sporting cologne on tv attractive. Yes, they’re hot, but I wouldn’t want to date someone like that. I want a REAL person.
There’s a huge pressure on women to have that beautiful hourglass shape. But I think we are seeing that same pressure on men. My brother tells me that guys don’t give a fuck if I’m fat. It’s about having an intellectual conversation. That’s what is attractive. I must admit that I’ve always found that attractive in men as well. The whole facial hair thing? I love certain looks but I’m more interested in the person I’m talking to.

I like whatever makes the guy feel confident . Moustache, full beard mutton chops. If you like it, it will steer your behavior toward feeling good; and that makes my radar beep! Long hair, love it. Shaved head-love it. Styled hair-sure. Make sure you have seen yourself from all angles.

I say go for one end of the spectrum or the other. This half-assed look that many celebrities sport, looking like they haven't shaved for several days, drives me nuts. Either shave or don't shave, but be consistent!

I've always liked hairy men. I mean, not sasquach...but long hair is cool if they can pull it off. And beards just feel good rubbed all over you...just sayin...

It is totally the woman's decision to wear a mustache or other facial hair, at any age or in any way she likes, if that is what she wants.

Facial hair can be sexy if it’s looked after. Nicely trimmed and soft is lovely. Beard oil is good and smells nice too. Us ladies are all about things smelling sweetly ?

Long hair for me is a wild teenage fantasy. I used to think nothing was sexier, but then suddenly the clean trimmed well groomed look became optimal. I think how a man has his hair gives off a sense of "ooh he's secure and stable" or "hmmm he works at dennys while hoping to be scouted for a band yet has never picked up a guitar in his life" prejudice, and while stereotyping and prejudices are bad, I can't help but no longer find myself overly attracted to guys with long hair. My taste in men has moved to clean cut men. (Preferably with a well trimmed beard)

I adore facial hair! Mustaches with or without trimmed beards can be very sexy.

I am also VERY drawn to well kept long(ish) hair. However, a shaved head can look great. It depends on the guy.

I'm going to regret doing this:

I don't mind trimed facial hair..what drives me insane is overly abundant body hair...Uuuugh!

Depends on whether or not a guy looks good bald, bearsed, etc. I know, based on my age, skin tone, facial shape that I cannot pull off a teal colored, shoulder length bob. Not happening. I'd broaden & squash my facial appearance & look jaundiced.

That said, I'd much rather see a guy bald than with a comb over or a bad tupee or holding on to those last 6 strands of hair way dow their back of what used to be a mullet (party is over, call it).

As for mutton chops...not a fan.

I like men with short hair on their heads and no facial hair.

I want thank you lovely ladies for your insightful thoughts. It has given me new perspective

Facial hair is fine, but I am not fond of the "Haven't left my cabin on this mountain for 40 years" look. A nicely trimmed beard that defines the jaw line can be dead sexy, though.

I like well groomed, and I like natural, quick and easy. Personally I don't understand shaving the head, but if it makes you happy go for it. I think sexy comes from within, a man who is comfortable with himself and interested in me is likely to have a sexy vibe to me. I like beards if they are soft, the brillo pad feel is tough to get close to. The duck dynasty style I don't get, it think it is taking creative anachronism to an extreme. If your hair is long but you have a huge bald spot I think the long hair just looks sad. But again, what makes you feel good. Now if a guy sports a mullet I don't think I'm even going to get close enough to talk to him. Everyone I've ever known with a mullet has not been someone I wanted to associate with.

First let me say its nice to see that most of the responses so far appear to have favored well groomed beards. As a Beard man myself it makes me feel more confident. The last time I had shaved the beard was almost 5 years ago was because of a trimming error which resulted in me having to shave. I had come out of the bathroom and when my son saw me he became upset. He then told me to "put it back on, I don't like that face." So I haven't shaved it off since. I look totally different without it and some have said I actually look older without it.

As to the original question, I would agree with some of the last comments about asking your wife which she prefers. Assuming she gives you the whatever you like Dear answer though. You will have to rely on your memories of time with her; what gave her the best reactions etc. Like others have said what makes you more comfortable will give you greater confidence and that may make her day more than anything else. Best of luck.

Um..I suggest you ask your wife since it's her opinion that matters.

As for my personal opinion, I had an ex with a neatly trimmed and groomed beard, and one without and both were OK with me.

So (off topic) why do I find women with wild hair, out of control, (and a bit of pubic hair) so sexy?

Serious question.

I like facial hair on a man Cave men had long beards and the male human was designed over thousands of years to have facial hair. I persoanlly like the sideburns run into a small and well cropped beard and a mustache, but all nicely trimmed. Some men look gorgeous .. young and old.

I don't really have a preference. I don't think looks or hairstyles, etc. are what attracts me to a man. It takes a lot more than that.

I don't have a particular set of "rules" for any man's appearance.
The only thing that is a MUST for me is good personal hygience, and being constantly
unkempt gets really old, really fast.
The rest depends upon the individual man. Some guys can carry off looks
that others couldn't pull off.

well-kept Facial hair can be quite attractive to look at. Personal preference, I’m not really crazy about how it feels. Had a boyfriend who’s mustache was so long it got in my mouth when we kissed. Not my thing. So basically as long as your beard doesn’t have its own website or zip code I don’t mind it. On top don’t really care for long hair on men. Bald is perfectly exceptable .... Certainly better than better than a come over!

Depends a lot on what texture and colour it grows in at. Ever the pragmatist not into sandpaper texture facial hair at any length and can't quite get my head around mutton chops without at least a mo to keep them company. Possibly have a preference for long hair, but then it has to be a good head of hair, not stringy and thin. Main thing is that you like it.

No shave no never.
