Men's Facial Hair Styles That Women Hate (According To Evolution)

[@willismehrer9835]

I started my big beard journey about 8 years ago (about 12 years into my marriage with my late wife. She never cared for lots of facial hair, but agreed so long as I kept it maintained and clean. She eventually grew to like it on me and would braid it from time to time. It's been 2 years since she passed and I have had people suggest I cut it, so that I would be more likely to attract women. Naw, if you don't like, it's a pass!

[@eliot5100]

My condolences, i lost my wife nearly 2 years ago. I've had a goatee for over 25 years. Initially to cover some scars from a dog bite. She loved it and helped me groom it.

[@donleyp]

Condolences to both of you. My wife also passed away a couple years ago and I’m just now starting to date again. She loved my beard but also loved it when I was clean shaven. I say wear your beard how you like it and find a lady who likes it too.

[@LikaLaruku]

It goes both ways. Some women will say the same about men who want them to shave their legs,& arm pits.

I think the it’s been back and forth with the beard for a long long time..but I feel the latest beard boom correlates with Gillette’s “toxic masculinity” commercial years back. The biggest name in men’s shaving turned against the men who made them. Not quite like the bud light debacle but was the start of turning guys off a product where the company doesn’t fit our values.

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

I have facial hair because otherwise I look immature. I don't look my age. I am 44 and I look like I am in my late 20s when I don't have a beard. In my job, age and experience is so important and I am at a disadvantage if I don't look the role. So for me it's just not debatable I need to have facial hair.

Great video im still rocking my 90,s goatee😅😉

[@VTPSTTU]

Thanks for the video. I've always strongly preferred my appearance with facial hair. Unfortunately, I worked most of my career in jobs where I had to be clean-shaven in order to wear respirators. That was often frustrating because I rarely had to wear respirators. In one job, they were fine with me growing the beard in between times when I needed to wear a respirator. I'd do that during those times. When an assignment was coming that would require my going inside a vessel or something, my boss would let me know, and I'd shave everything but the mustache. For a long time, I was on the fire crew at work, and I had to go down to a mustache because I needed a good seal for the SCBA equipment. Even so, I enjoyed the fire crew participation so much that I didn't mind not having a beard. For many years, anyone in a refinery had to have only a short mustache or mustache and "soul patch." Eventually, OSHA relaxed those rules and made that requirement apply only to people who had to wear respirators as part of their jobs and only when they were wearing respirators (or SCBA). Shortly after I went on disability, the refinery got an asshole plant manager who imposed the no facial hair requirement again. People like him need to die. I've heard some women say that some men look good with certain facial hair and other men don't. To her, every guy had an optimum, but that optimum could be different on every guy. Now that I no longer have to worry about a job because I'm disabled, I just let my beard grow wild. Even at the end of my career, I would never have to wear a respirator because HR said I was too weak to go into the operating units. (I wasn't too weak to go at all, but I did tend to tire quickly and unexpectedly. I don't blame them.) I was once kissing with a woman when I had about thirty hours of growth. We were having fun and not thinking about consequences. When we stopped for a moment, her entire face from the nose downward was red and raw from beard burn. A nice thing about having a long beard is that a long beard won't produce beard burn. If I had a relationship and were kissing a woman regularly, I wouldn't have to worry about that time period where my stubble becomes a deadly weapon.

[@lew66999]

I like to wear a beard in the fall & winter, and shave/trim it into a goatee during the warmer months. Works well for me... 😎

Uhm. I WANT eating "other things" to be an incredibly messy endeavor that I'm reminded of for...hopefully days (especially since right now that's a rare event). My beard is to my nipples and while I keep it tied up most the time, I will not likely ever get rid of it, and definitely not because someone claims it's unattractive.

Studies say most western women under 30 hate facial hair, unless it's a "trendy" style that takes at least 15 minutes of grooming every day (this includes the hair, which cannot be too short, bald, or buzzed). Women seem to prefer facial hair on semi-androgynous men of Middle Eastern, African, or Asian decent with black hair, & more inclined to not like beards on Caucasian men. East Asian women have significantly lower tolerance for beards.

[@RModillo]

It's not just women's faces that are sensitive.

[@Arthituthis]

Well, a long/ full beard dose require a sense of awareness and maintenance. Eating requires carful dining habits and manners to avoid making a mess. In the bedroom it can be found to be very desirable for a woman to feel it in places. Of course, it requires frequent washing just like the rest of our bodies to keep it smelling and feeling fresh. Of course, it gets a thorough washing in the shower but freshening up after a meal with soap and a good rinse and drying or before an intimate encounter is just as important as a woman keeping her nether regions fresh for her partner. If a man's beard seems to be a turn off because it appears dirty or smells, then the rest of him most likely is as well. I get allot of complements and inviting looks when I'm out and some women just make a point to touch it or caress it. Although being 6'-5" tall and having a full head of hair get's allot of attention. Thanks for the content you provide.

They don't always have to be coarse rough messes barely groomed, but the longer the beard, the more respect you might want to show a guy. because People think they are 'easy, or lazy' things to grow. The longer they are the more dedicated and enduring of irritation those guys can be. There are so many issues with long beards that anyone who has a healthy long length beard has typically dealt with issues to shave but resisted repeatedly. has a good ability to maintain and has dealt with a myriad of issues most guys have never fathomed.
