Same here, this is how I feel about beards. When I think of guys with beards, they are either hipsters, hippies, homeless, blue-collar, hunters, rednecks, or old geezers. Chances are if you have a beard, you fall into at least one of these categories. None of these remotely resemble me or my lifestyle or my interests, or the type of guy that I look for.

But, some women like mustache rides, or "beard rides," I suppose. I don't understand how anybody could enjoy somebody with facial hair going down on them. It scrapes the skin and does not feel good for me at all. Maybe if their hair felt like fuzzy faux-fur, but that's not what it feels like. It feels like scratchy sticky pubic hair rubbing against your skin like sandpaper. 5 o clock shadow is the worst though, that feels like cactus spines poking at your clitoris.




for someone who claims alot of things about men which equate to them being judgemental and closeminded you sure do a good job being judgemental and closeminded ;]

I'd say beards are stylish enough ATM that you will see them in all aspects of society, even at the top. But that's a fad and before long it will once again mostly be lumberjacks, hippies and pirates who have beards.

I was growing my stache for a minute, but I just couldn't deal with it. I'm liking clean shaven these days. Guess I'm not so good at being stylish. Plus with my prematurely grey hair, people thing I'm like 80 when I have a beard.

The head of the federal reserve is not a politician in the sense that he doesn't run for office, theeefore doesnt have to appeal to public tastes. But I never said that bearded men don't exist in the government. Just that they seldom exist. If you can only manage to prove that two percent of employees have facial hair in the government, that only proves my point, it doesn't disprove it. One example doesn't mean anything.

This is a thread about women's opinions on beards. I mentioned that some women enjoy the way they look and the way that they feel, but I personally do not.

Facial hair was more common among the upper-class in previous centuries, because facial hair was the style of aristocrats back in the day. It signified complexion and sophistication. But like with the monocle and the pocket watch, they fell out of style among aristocrats. They are still in style, but nowadays they are mostly popular among subversive groups. Beards are the style of choice among hippies, hipsters, creative artists, blue-collar men, country folk, and older men. These are the subcultures that beards are the most popular among. This is not me passing judgment, but my observations about where the beard has gone.

i also find it extremely humorous that you classify blue collar as a subculture. Just warning you that the rest of the country is not fake tits and real ass holes like souther California

and then she adds more stereotypes then her original statement:facepalm: do you know how diverse life is? im not trying to have a history lesson either, my answer to your history lesson would be the same, do you know how diverse life is?
so please,
its one thing to answer if you like it or hate it, but your stereotyping is just unbelievable considering you hate being stereotyped. don't stereotype me or others and weigh something degrading like that on men growing a beard, not all people Think like you do.. i rock the scruff because i believe it looks good,Im from NY, already have a job. hope im not a loser!, do not associate my beard with being southern, because im not. do not associate it with being dumb or a social recluse either, just associate my beard as what the name of the beard implies. ive seen both blue/white collar workers with and without beards also, just saying im happy not everyone thinks like you..

i think scruff is awesome at times, its good to mix it up. im bisexual.
ive seen people who i believe can rock it and who can't. it happens to fit well on me so im told.

You're right. I had an ex who grew a beard, and I always secretly hated it. And after we broke up, this made my hatred for beards grow ever more than before. He was also blue-collar, a red-neck, yet at the same time a student of mechanical engineering. A failing student, but a student nonetheless. My comments towards beards were really subliminally snide against my ex more than anybody else who has a beard.

I will admit that me saying that certain white-collar personalities grow beards is a stereotype (see above). But the rest of the stuff, such as me saying "beards are the most popular among so and so" is not a stereotype. It's the equivalent of somebody saying "Louis Vuitton brand-namewear is the most popular among upper crust socialites," or "Shiseido makeup is most commonly worn among Japanese women," because uhm, it is.

Well 50% actually divorce so we can automatically discount those people. Within the other bracket of the 50% that stay married there are marital issues that don't surface to the public--perhaps secret cheating, financial ruin, separated but legally married, drug use, even spousal abuse or jail time...

I don't know man. My favorite TV show is "Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry." Maybe it says something about me. :lol: I think everybody needs to watch this series before they get married. Spook the bejeezus out of you. :lol:

My favorite episode was the one about the surgeon who ended up being an IV demerol addict, then lost his medical license, and then started illegally taking and selling dead bodies for a profit of like $11,000 each. I think he served prison for like 11 years or something.

I really like the spectrum of beards. I'm enamored with the world of touch, tactile sensory...so whenever any of my previous loves would go through stages of beard/no beard it was always amazing to feel the differences (with hands, lips, other body parts).

I don't know about consistent beards or consistent smooth faces. There's just something about witnessing (and touching, exploring!) new avenues on a person's body--and facial hair is amazing for that.

That is interesting that California, one of the largest states, is excluded from the statistics. It would seem to bring the divorce rate up higher if the state were included.

Your site also gives 2 sources which put the number at 11% and another one at 34%.

One statement stood out to me too: "Couples who live together before marriage are more likely to divorce."

This signifies that some people might abstain from divorce is because of religious reasons. Others might abstain from divorce because they are trying to think about their children. So the fact that divorce might be around 25% is not really any indication of a successful marriage; simply because people don't choose divorce doesn't mean there is nothing unpleasant going on secretly in the marriage (which is what I mentioned earlier).

But in response to your link, note that RE-married individuals count as "married" in these type of statistics.

Quote:

In 2008, 10.6% of the population was divorced. The percentage who were married was 50.2%, separated was 2.2%, and the percentage of never married adults was 30.8%. The percentage of married individuals includes those who are remarried. It is also interesting to note that in 2001 it was estimated that 21% of men and 23% of women over 15 years of age had ever been divorced.

I think you guys need to give her a break. This thread is called "how do the ladies feel about beards". She has given more perspective than any other fem in the thread.

Also, she's pretty much correct IMO. I do have a beard, and I certainly do fall into her category of hippie/hipster, artist, spiritual, reclusive, and unemployed. I have done tree work/manual labor as well. I found myself agreeing with her lists when considering other men who have beards as well.

Of course anybody can grow a beard if they want to. Even women. But she pretty much summed up the common types of men that choose beards.

Who cares if she doesn't like them?

I did mention in addition that many other women like beards. I simply just am not one of them. Many women also like long Fabio-type hair on guys, I don't either. Many women like hipsters in skinny jeans, and I don't. Lots of women (and men) don't like tattoos, but I do. Lots of people don't like flashy, bright-colored clothing, but I do. I never told anybody to shave their beard off or change their looks to adhere to my taste or my preconceived notions, they should wear what they like but it's just not for me, that is all.
