Shaved Or Not You Decide

AlexSuzeWe were in bed last night and were rather amused to watch Adrian Chiles (pictured), presenter of The One Show sporting some designer stubble. Well OK, we hadn’t shaved for a couple of days as part of the comedy opening title scene. The presenters asked viewers to send in their views via email about if he should grow a beard or shave it off.

It does raise an important question.

Ladies, do you prefer your men with or without facial hair?

Personally I’m happy that Suze likes me clean-shaven, upstairs and downstairs as it were. LOL. I have said before that it’s so long since I had more than two week’s growth of pubic hair that I can’t remember what it’s like. As for facial hair I tend to have difficulty growing a beard it takes forever and doesn’t look very impressive.

To me beards are a lot of trouble. And yet I can see why facial hair on some men suits them. Take Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, or George Clooney, or Andrea Bocelli, they just wouldn’t be the same without the fuzz.

Attitudes toward facial hair is something that changes over time. My father has, in his time sported a beard, yet I haven’t. His father was never anything but clean shaven. And yet a few generations back in the Edwardian and Victorian eras beards were so bushy you could have a blackbird nesting inside and never notice.

And no, we never found out if Christine Bleakley (Adrian’s co-presenter) has any stubbly bits 😉

  1. Clean Shaven on the face, without question. No girl would like any stubble rubbing like sandpaper against their body down there hehe…

  2. facial hair on men is interesting. Many networks avoid showing bearded men (as newscasters, reporters, etc), whereas in the late Seventies and early eighties, it was like the musical Hair, more was never enough.

    It’s hard to say, I’ve dated both types, but I find that the three day growth, or designer stubble is more irritating than the full blown beard, or the neatly trimmed goatee (that’s like a beard). I don’t like the way some men have a tuft of hair growing on their chin, it reminds me of a pudendum, and it looks so wrong to me. It’s as though they’re terrified of going that extra step and growing a full beard.
