To those of you with facial hair I am curious as to how your significant other responds to it. My wife :@` likes the look but does not like the feel of it.
-
My partner has a beard and I like the feel of it, though when he trims it, it can cause a hell of a stubble rash!
He likes it on me when I dont shave
-
My wife it`s definetly NOT a fan.
-
Wifey loves it! She calls it my "mane" when I grow it longer. O0
Sometimes I ask her if it's weird to be kissing someone with hair all around their mouth, but she insists it's awesome. I consider myself lucky in that dept., cuz lots of women don't like men with lots of facial hair (from what I've seen/heard).
-
Mine doesn't like it long at all--but then she never said she liked it short when it was. Now she points out short beards and says they look nice! :D :D Go figure. But, during the Christmas holiday parties she was pretty miffed about the compliments I'd get, like the one from a woman who said I looked like I ought to be marketing Schweppes Tonic Water & I took that as a definate compliment. ;D I just handed her a fresh Old Fashioned.
I think the feel issue is answered if you let the beard get a little longer, about 3/4". Anything shorter can irritate skin I think.
We'll see how things go if I can get it out to the point I can tie it up like Rusty Shakelsford does, then I can have it long when I want, like riding my motorcycle, and she can have it short when I tie it up. I think I've got about 2 to 3 weeks until I'm going to be there.

My wife loves the VanDyke, but is not a fan of a full beard, but is tolerating it. I think she may be liking it more now because every once in a while I catch her playing with my beard. They do get softer after they grow out more...especially compared to the scratchy stubble.

"For God wished women to be smooth, and rejoice in their locks alone growing spontaneously, as a horse in his mane; but has adorned man, like the lions, with a beard, and endowed him, as an attribute of manhood, with shaggy breasts, a sign his of strength and rule." St. Clement of Alexandria (A.D. 195)
Well, the girls say it, those speaking for God say it... guys should grow beards, who are we to argue?
-
The girlfriend hates it when my goat starts to get long. When it does, she starts pestering me to go trim the dead cat on my chin. She's definitely not happy that I'm working on a full beard now, and has threatened leaving me single if it gets out of control. Well, that's a risk I'm willing to take for an epic beard so..
-
I'm lucky my wife doesn't care weather I have a beard or not. Hair on my head or shaved slick bald it is all the same to her. She said why would I care I never look at ya! :@`
-
My upper lip hasn't seen the light of day since 1977. My chin has only been seen sporadically for short times since then (I will occasionally do the fu-manchu biker 'stache for short periods).
My partner would completely freak if I were to shave everything off. He's not even a particular fan of the biker 'stache. He prefers the van dyke or full beard.
I feel the same way about him.

My wife isn't a massive fan of he current moustache.
She keeps pestering me to grow a beard again, however when I had the beard grown out to about 8cm length she didn't like it either ???
-
Chia the chihuahua loves it -- as long as I keep the food flowing.

My wife likes the Van Dyke. I've been wearing it pretty much non-stop for 7-8 yeas now.

Lynchy, are you feeling like you just can't win? lol

Yep .... It's tough to win around here lol
-
When I started wearing a beard, all of the ladies in my life loved it! Funny part is my ex hated it when we were together, but now she says she loves it now that we're apart....I'm with you, Lynchy, you just can't win sometimes....
-
My wife (and children) have never seen me without a beard which I have had for 46 1/2 years. A couple of years ago my wife said I would look better with a goatee rather than full beard and I shaved it down and although it looked OK I felt it wasn't me so I grew the full beard back. Now she doesn't comment.
-
He doesn't like it.
-
Flop, my cat, is somewhat disoriented. He thinks he's sleeping with a strange man but everything else is the same. He'll reach up and put a paw on it and then put it down and then put it back up....one can sense his confustion. He had the same problem when I started shaving my chest after the Eagle tattoo was applied. He was used to curling up on a modestly hairy chest and then... it was gone. I don't need to shave it, of course, but the sight of an eagle growing hair and not feathers just seemed inappropriate. Perhaps he thinks what was now on my chest has reappeared on my face.....
-
I don't have a significant other, so the facial hair is a non-issue. :-\
-
Chia doesn't give a rat's arse! Just as long as she gets her food everything is hunkey dorey.

My lady used to hate it but now loves it and said I'm never allowed to be clean shaven again. But she looooooves the smooth dome.
-
Wife was against the streamlined scalp until about a week after I'd done it but now doesn't want me to ever grow it out again.
The facial hair is another story. I like to change it up a bit (goatees, mo, full beard, zig-zags & shapes) & she's ok with anything that isn't around the mouth. Sadly for her, I'm cultivating a handlebar mo at the moment. She tolerates it but I'm asked regularly how long it will last.
-
My wife doesn't say much about my Van Dyke. She was not in favor of it when I first grew it out about 2 years ago. I think that she likes it now that I keep it short and groomed. I like it I guess that is what counts.
-
After I grew out my facial hair, my wife informed me that she loves my facial hair O0 . Had I known, I would have grown it out years sooner :Xo! It is amazing how quick "they" are to not tell you what they like but tell you what they don't like :/O
-
I'm single, so I don't cop any flack. Quite a few of my girl friends really seem to like it, and occasionally ask to touch it. If only those were the single ones! Haha
-
He's getting used to it but he still wants me to shave it off.
-
My girlfriend likes it. She's also the first one to say positive things about how I look with a shaved head.
-
She's a keeper :)
-
Living and dating in South Korea, I find that a lot of women here are not fond of bald heads or beards. In actuality, they don't mind bald heads but they really don't like beards. On the other hand my girlfriend loves my bald head but hates the beard.
-
My goatee has come and gone over the last serval years as I transition through different employers. Facial hair just isn't really acceptable on a whole in the professional aviation community. Lucky, my current employer is fine with it. My wife loves it, saying I look too boy-ish without it. She also keeps threatening to buy me a t shirt she found on Pinterest that says "Bearded for HER pleasure!" 8)
-
That's an awesome t-shirt and I'd take her up on the offer :D
-
Wife doesn't mind any kind of facial hair once it's gone beyond the rough stubble.
My female students love to touch my facial hair whenever I go a few days without shaving!
