Does an unshaven face bother you? or Do you prefer a bearded face? Often times we associate shaving as part of good grooming. Men who do not shade look untidy and unhygienic, but do you know that an unshaven face oftentimes develop less pimples? What are your thoughts on this? Your contributions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not really bothered as long as the beard is clean and doesn't have bits of food or nasal detritis sticking to it. Some men look better with beards, others look better clean shaven. Either way, its entirely their choice.

I mind it a little that he don't shave all the time, I would rather he did everyday, but he's not like that. He'll usually shave once a week and that's when we go to church, and the rest of the week he won't, so he has alot of stubble by the end of the week. But he says he wished he didn't have to shave at all, I know how he feels I don't like having to shave my legs either...lol.

I shave most days Jenaisle although every now and again, when I know that I'm not going anywhere that day, I like to give my face a rest. Every time that a man shaves he scratches the surface of the skin. In some men this can lead to rashes or worse. Good moisturising is helpful, but I feel just letting nature take its course helps more.

Men with bearded face looks so untidy for me, I dont know why but it seems they really dont care about their appearance. But in middle east alot of my friends there want to have beard for the reason that they dont want to be courted by arabs LOL! they are scared to be treated as a woman, Hahaha! that is what they have told me. Hahaha! weird... but its true.

I prefer a clean shaven man, but somtimes a little bit of facial hair can be sexy but it has to be on the right person.. generally i love a clean shave though.

i dont think my man needs to shave everyday for me to think he is attractive. i dont think that just because a guy doesnt shave that he doesnt practice good hygiene. god knows i let my legs go a day or two, longer then planned!

it really depends on the man. I met my boyfriend when he had a beard and he looks handsome with longer hair. But then he cute his hair and shaved the beard off and he still looks great. But some men don't look good with a beard, while others look handsome. I don't think it gives them an untidy or unhygienic look at all. As far as the pimple thing I'm not to sure on that.

My boyfriend shaves more in the summer. In the winter time he lets a beard grow because he works alot outside and its warmer. I love it when hes not clean shaven. He takes the time to trim it and keep it groomed so hes not untidy and dirty.

It's a personal choice. I wouldn't say that men who do not shave look untidy and unhygienic. That can go for a man who does shave, if he doesn't take care of himself, he as well can look untidy. that is stereo-typing. some men look good with facial hair and other's do not. It doesn't bother me one way or the other.

I don't mind a little bit of stubble, but I prefer a man to be clean shaven. My son's dad and I split up 14 years ago, and he has let himself go. He has long hair and a bear, which always tends to look untidy and unclean at times.

Hey there...I tend to get pretty lazy when it comes to shaving, but it's really only the neck and mustache that seem to bother my girlfriend...She's totally fine with facial hair anywhere else...It's quite understandable though...Neck beards can't be the most attractive thing! -Mike
