Sometimes it baffles me what men women find attractive. I mean, Adam Levine's dorky half-beard thing actually works? If a rigid husky 40 year old and the perpetual 'Forgot to shave' look are attractive, I give up.
As a man who likes men (and my taste can be pretty quirky I admit) I like funky facial hair as long as the guy can rock it.
Facial hair hotness is totally dependent on the individual. The one thing I never like is that little strip of hair that makes your chin look like it's had a brazillian. Oh and mustaches on their own just suck, stick a beard under it PLEASE.
Facial hair is a cooch brush. Some women like how it tickles. Where on him it's grown, determines where on her it tickles. Some women look for the facial pattern they desire in the wild, other women manscape to order on undeveloped plots. This is basic stuff people.
Ha! I'm pretty tolerant of funky facial hair, but I don't like a mustache on it's own either. Every man with a mustache pretty much looks like he should be in 70s porn.
What facial hair does to women is completely outside my field of interest though. Some guys like facial hair, some don't. I'm never going to be a little twinky pretty boy, so I go with what works for me.
I come and go with facial hair. Mostly I'll grow it for winter, then shave it off in summer. Extensive experimentation has proven to me that when I do grow facial hair it 'works' best for me with a moustache and goatee combo. Not a Van Dyke, there definitely has to be some degree of seperation between upper and lower portions.
Most kids would want bbqed little blonde girl from their daddy bear over irregularly heated porridge for breakfast any morning, don't you think?
