Default Facial hair

Do you find it attractive on

A) Yourself
B) Other people

for me I'd say no for me
and a little (and i mean that) stubble on other men, but not full grown beards or moustaches, Not being offensive it just slightly creeps me out.

I'm pretty much exactly the same as you.
On me it looks terrible; on others sometimes some stubble can look very nice (although usually only when they have black hair). Anything more than short stubble I don't like.

Same answer.

A) No, I hate it on myself, I shave everyday
B) Yes! I love the 3-day-long stubble look. Nothing too long or groomed into shapes though.

I hate hate hate hate it on me...I'm 21 and I grow a dirty black neck beard in patches and have a blonde 70's porn 'stache, so I shave every day...

On others? Eh, not preferable but my boyfriend often go awhile without shaving but it's cute stubble and looks good on him

Default Re: Facial hair

I like it on other men, provided it's well-groomed.
I don't know how much a Hagrid-esque style would work, but a short, well-trimmed beard doesn't offend me one bit.
Largely due to the fact that I have one myself--which I really do like.
I grow a half-ginger beard, which is super weird, considering the darkness of my very Italian head and eyebrow hair.

Only issue is, it doesn't seem like many other men like it on me. :c

A.) No, it does not look good on me. It makes me look years older than I actually am. I actually want to get my facial hair laser removed because I hate having to shave regularly (my facial hair is very coarse).

B.) No, for the most part. I'm not unreasonable, however, and it's not a (physical) deal-breaker for a guy to have a 5 o'clock shadow. Haha. But no full-on or semi full-on beards and mustaches for me.

Short answers? Yes and Yes

To explain, I like how I look with facial hair, and I think it almost always enhances how good a guy looks if it has the full pattern and not the patchy and/or thin pattern. That said, I don't like once it gets past the two week range; then it just gets wily and you can't see their face. There are very few men who can pull off a full-blown beard.

Beards? Did someone say beards?







Beards!!!!!!

*ahem* So yes, to answer question B, I love facial hair on other guys, with almost no exception. I'm neutral towards mustaches on young guys and ridiculously long beards, but just about anything else is very attractive in my book. Suffice it to say I'm very infatuated with facial hair (especially beards).

I, unfortunately, grow facial hair at a snail's pace, and when I let it grow, in comes out as what are unflatteringly called "chin pubes". If any of you had my facial hair, you'd probably despise it. Any beard is better than no beard in my book, though, so I wear my pubes with pride.

I shave my mustache, though. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I dislike mustaches on anyone under the age of forty, so I shave mine.

Default Re: Facial hair

me-i look way better with facial hair than without it. i look weird as hell without facial hair. i'm not really able to grow a thick beard or a mustache. it's not thin either. the thing is that my mustache can look really nasty and untamed if i don't take care of it where i end up looking like super mario or the mario brothers. then i'll have my brother telling me that my mustache looks nasty and i have to shave it off. like owen, my facial hair grows at a snails pace. i shave it every two weeks or more.

on other people-some people look good with it, some people don't. for example, someone like ryan dunn (rip). he looked terrible with it. without it, he was very cute.

I'm not big on facial hair at all. I never let mine grow beyond a slight stubble and that can be attractive on guys. But anything beyond a goatee or something, I don't find very attractive.

Not on myself. At all.
On others, yeah. To a certain extent. A few days to a week or two of growth is amazing.

I have just not-shaved-out-of-laziness enough times in my life that scruffy has become my thing.
On other guys? I think 90% of guys look better with facial hair. It's a big big big turn-on for me.

Default Re: Facial hair

I usually have a goatee, w/o a mustache. I tend to be more stockier, and I inherited most of my dad's Mexican/Italian genes so a little facial hair compliments my looks.

Although the Norwegian in me makes it kind of copper colored... So if you see a dude walking around with really dark brown hair and a rusty looking goatee, it's probably me. :3

I look better with facial hair.

Yep! I really find guys with stubble very attractive, it has to be evenly spread and not patchy, but generally yes, if a guys has a short beard or some good stubble then he'll catch my attention!

On myself... I quite like having a bit of stubble (and I'm really lazy about shaving), but I don't think I look good when I try to grow a full beard.
