I think a beard takes a face to a whole other level of attractiveness - what do you think ?Here's mine, now you show me yours...
The only things more manly, masculine, and male than facial hair are a cock and balls. So, why mess with that? Men with facial hair are way more attractive.
I've at least a mustache since my twenties. I have shaved my face clean a few times but then immediately let it grow back. I used to work at an industrial wood shop and had to be able to wear a respirator, which meant that I could not have hair on my cheeks. That didn't prevent me from allowing the hair on my chin from growing.
I specifically plan to never cut, trim, or shave any hair, anywhere, ever again.
Unfortunately all men are not capable of growing truly attractive beards - at least in my opinion. Dont get me wrong. I appreciate a handsome beard on anyone. But I (for one) am not capable of growing a full - thick beard such that it falls into that handsome classification. When a beard is scraggly and sparse in spots its just not attractive (to me). For those men, like myself, spare us the pain of seeing a failed attempt at growing a good thick handsome beard. Im sure you have other talents! Just my two cents worth!
I have the same problem A couple of times I have tried and the beard looks terrible! Not even growth and patchy. I tried it again in the Covid lock down and gave up. My youngest son also tried. He had the same patchy look. Not attractive!
Yet, I see some superb beards on this post!
Yet I have been happy with the moustache since 1971. 50 years at Christmas!
I always had a goatee for the longest time, when I moved to the foothills of North Carolina all the real manly men had beards...lol...so I decided to grow mine. Ever since for about 2yrs now I've had a beard, my wife loves it she even forbids me to trim it....and it's amazing how much attention I get from both sexes on how beautiful and manly it is... I love my beard!
The last few years, I have been growing my beard out for the winter, usually starting in November and shaving it off in February. People (including myself) are often surprised by how reddish it comes out, given that my head hair was brown. This picture is from a few years ago, at its fullest and floofiest.
