There's this HUGE beard trend going on and majority of women hate beards according to multiple researches yet men keep insisting on wearing it.
A recent survey of more than 2,000 men and women conducted by Lynx unearthed some conclusively anti-beard statistics.
While 63 per cent of men believed facial hair made them more manly and attractive, 92 per cent of women said they preferred a clean-shaven man, with 95 per cent complaining that facial stubble made a romantic kiss a turn-off.
And a huge 86 per cent said they found beards unattractive.
I don't understand why're women so hell-bent on accepting and participating in weird beauty norms like going hairless etc.

If men knew how to properly groom and trim their beards and use beard oil to keep it from looking like a raggedy mountain of pubes on their chin it would be ok but seriously....

lmao raggedy mountain of pubes

ROFL 😂😂😂
TW: Gross beard description ahead.
Reminded me of an OPHTHALMOLOGY teacher who looked like a wild bear with a beard denser than the Amazon forest.
Hated it. GROSS.
Can't believe girls actually liked it. Called him hot and handsome :puke:
You'd think a doctor would be more concerned about hygiene stuff but no. Once he was scratching his beard in class. And I literally cringed. He saw it and asked me a difficult question on purpose that I couldn't answer. I skipped his lectures a lot after that. Disgusting.

Yuck at “beard oil”. I paid thousands to have my entire body lasered, the least a man can do is shave his gross looking beard.

This is how the human race dies out, we make ourselves as repellent as possible until no one wants to fuck anyone anymore 😂 but seriously, beards are the pubes of the face and I am so over this notion that they're somehow 'manly'.

Human race better die out if we can't achieve equality. Patriarchy needs to fucking end.
beards are the pubes of the face and I am so over this notion that they're somehow 'manly'.
I have literally said the same thing to my friend the other day when we were having discussion on beards.
They ain't manly. It's just a cover to be ridiculously unhygienic and lazy
[–]TheQueenOfDeadHeartsFDS Newbie9 points10 points11 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
For real. My legs will actually break out if I don't shave for a few weeks. In my case it's a harmless and mildly annoying skin condition, not a hygiene issue, but still. Legs aren't greasy after a day like facial skin is. And you know most of these dudes don't scrub & shampoo like they should. Bleh, I just grossed myself out...
[–]Capable_OkraFDS Newbie4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Why do men grow beards? Because they're too lazy to shave every day. Source: all of my exes who stopped shaving once we shacked up.

I hate kissing men with beard, it’s like you’re being poked and beards are nasty

Wait really?? I love beards. A well maintained beard is so nice! Kissing cleanly shaven faces is nice for like...the first two hours after shaving. And then the stubble burns my face. I hate stubble and my face can feel it before it’s shave-able.

Ah well, I'm Indian and we have dark and long hair😂 It's unhygienic to not cut it but I hate that we have to look hairless all the time. Having hair should be considered normal

Aah ok oops! My bad. I understand what you mean :)
[–]TimWhortonsPickmeisha™️12 points13 points14 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
beards on models look good (bc of how much goes into maintenance and photoshop) but i would hate to go anywhere near one irl.
[–]nosynobodyFDS Newbie17 points18 points19 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I actually find a little bit of beard attractive while my so hates it. He even made a joke once saying all the bearded guys I find hot prolly look ugly without it. So men know about beard-fishing.
Also whether he has a beard or not am not going bald downstairs unless I feel like it. No one can tell me what to do with my privates. You can chose not to sleep with me but that's your problem not mine.
[–]meecy166FDS Apprentice8 points9 points10 points 6 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
But it is unhygienic and gross for women to have body hair. But clean and fine on men!!!
The hypocrisy
[–]Nearby-ArmadilloFDS Newbie12 points13 points14 points 6 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link
The guy I've been seeing lately just asked if I'd be willing to stop shaving my underarms and bikini area. I was floored.
[–]CaramelxMarshmallowsFDS Disciple[S] 30 points31 points32 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Entitlement of men. A woman can only stop shaving if a man wants her to
[–]lillycrackFDS Newbie6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
Guessing it’s a fetish he wants you to play out for him?
[–]Nearby-ArmadilloFDS Newbie3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
I don't think it's a fetish. He's also always saying I don't need makeup or heels etc. I think he's just more into the natural look.
[–]saxophonepaxFDS Newbie25 points26 points27 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I would be concerned. The last two men I dated who said this turned out to have very subtle and passive control issues. They were also very insecure and not on my "level" so the one of the ways of bridging that gap was to get me to stop looking after myself and doing things that enhanced my beauty. This meant other men would find me less desirable and they felt safer in the relationship. Even though they didn't voice this directly and they were sweet, gentle and loving outwardly, it became clear over time that they had these issues. They all said they preferred the "natural look". Just be wary of any man that tries to push you towards his apparent "preference". It's control either way.
[–]avakadavaFDS Newbie4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Omg I had a guy exactly like this. He got concerned when I started expressing interest in starting to learn/do makeup. He was under average lookswise
[–]bengthreadFDS Newbie8 points9 points10 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's kind of a red flag though isn't it, him asking you if you would change YOUR body for HIS preference?
[–]mscristalconnorsFDS Newbie4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
🚩
[–]lillycrackFDS Newbie3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
So he’s asking you to change how you look, in order to please him?
Please remind him that if he wanted a woman with body hair who doesn’t wear makeup or flats, that he should have dated a woman like that in the first place. You’re not Mrs potato head. He doesn’t just get to change everything about your appearance.
[–]Nearby-ArmadilloFDS Newbie-1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Truthfully I don't own any heels and rarely wear makeup so he's encouraging me to be more who I am normally.
I also hadn't shaved in a while when this convo happened. I mentioned that I probably should and he was like, "Don't do it on my account I'd love it if you grew it all out."
[–]devoushkaFDS Newbie3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This would be a huge turnoff for me personally.

Women don’t need to shave if they don’t want to
End of story
And society doesn't need to push those hairlessness as ideal.
[–]sageokoliFDS Newbie2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I like beards
The only people who should be shaving are people who want to
And let’s not compare shaving beards to the shaving women do
Women are generally expected to not have hair anywhere except on top their head, their eyebrows and sometimes the vagina.
A lot of men find hair in any other place to be unattractive. Me shaving my legs, under pits, vagina, and tweezing any other random hairs is almost expected and is way more work than a guy keeping up his beard. Those tasks are NOT one for one, let’s not let men think so.
[–]woldielocksFDS Newbie2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't consider dudes who have gross, unkempt beards in the first place. I'm very much against this arms race to see who can be grosser and nastier. I have standards for my self-maintenance and for the men I date. Anyone who doesn't meet it does not get my attention.

[–]queen-frej1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Women can stop shaving regardless of what men do. Pornography has brainwashed us into thinking that shaving away our adult sex characteristics is somehow normal and not gross and vaguely pedophilic.
Fuck that and forget men who expect that you shave and also suck their hairy balls they probably haven't even washed.
[–]outside-perceptionFDS Newbie3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm the odd one out here; I love beards due to my culture as well as beliefs BUT I love a man who conditions, grooms and even self shapes/edges his. It takes maybe 10 minutes to do that daily and it's so minimal.
Make the beard smell good and shaped properly and it can look great, especially if it's an actual beard and not a patch. If you can't grow proper facial hair then you're doing yourself an injustice. If I dyed my blonde hair brunette, my roots would make me look like I'm balding, hence why I don't.
In the case of the photo, most of us keep our nether regions clean, neutral or soft scented and trimmed/shaved. It doesn't take long, but it's all relative so I'm neutral on the matter. I see all of this as preference.

Or just don’t shave because you don’t want to
[–]warinmymind94FDS Newbie3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
If he doesnt brush his teeth, doesnt pluck so he doesnt have a unibrow, doesn't shower or wear fresh clean clothes every day... imagine if I did all the gross things he did and rolled up like that 🤣
[–]CaramelxMarshmallowsFDS Disciple[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
doesnt pluck so he doesnt have a unibrow
Wait what? You like unibrows?
[–]warinmymind94FDS Newbie2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I found a few guys on dating apps that ignore their eyebrows completely and have actual unibrows. Maybe my post was confusing but I hate gross unkempt men especially neglected/ dirty facial hair and disgusting eyebrows. These guys need to shave and pluck out the unibrows

Oh yeah agreed. I hate unibrows and unkempt facial hair. They look like apes.

I actually like beards. But not some un-kept one, but a good one. I dont mind if it is a bit wild :) But the man has to keep it with beard oils and cutting it etc, like my SO does. He also NEVER comments on my body hair, I have super blonde hair on my legs and he doesn't care about it at all, if I want to shave in the summer, I do, but it is for me alone.
[–]Notaclarinet1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is how I feel about long hair on guys. I don’t mind it but men should know how to wash it, when to condition, and how to keep it nice. Oily long hair is gross.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Imho i kind of like scratchy stubble though I prefer clean-shaven, but as soon as it's more than stubble...it's a no from me luv
[–]amiranda00FDS Newbie-2 points-1 points0 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Okay I’m going against the grain here. I do love me a beard. I guess I really never paid attention that there’s different beard tiers: raggedy vs well kept.
And for me I love slipping into my bed after shaving my legs and arms lol
But again to each their own, no one should do anything they don’t want to. My SIL is full blown Chewbacca legs but it’s better than painful ingrown hairs. She will wax them now and then.
Don’t ever do shit for someone else’s comfort though.
