Clean shaven for me... Traumatised as a child remembering my father slurping soup and having odd bits stuck to his beard...yuck! I like the boyish look.
"God wished women to be smooth and to rejoice in their locks alone growing spontaneously, as a horse in his mane. But He adorned man like the lions, with a beard, and endowed him as an attribute of manhood, with a hairy chest--a sign of strength and rule." - St. Clement of Alexandria
"This, then, is the mark of the man, the beard. By this, he is seen to be a man. It is older than Eve. It is the token of the superior nature….It is therefore unholy to desecrate the symbol of manhood, hairiness.” - St. Clement of Alexandria

Well looking at your photo I guess you desecrated your own manhood....
I just lived in the middle east for three years and after seeing every man with knee length beards, I couldn't determine in the end the difference between those and camel butts...I am glad to once again be amongst a land of smooth faces...

Women just want men to cut their beards off because they can't have them (well, most of them can't)!
trish123: I cant vote - I dont mind either way but beards have to be clean!!I have often wondered why men dont grow beards for the winter - that would make sense to me
My mouth is cold, Trish . . .
But maybe some women will come along and warm it for me now . . .

I love it!!
But notice what happened, when I tried to shave off my beard!
I have worn a beard since I got out of the Army in 1985, except for the brief tears that I was an Elvis impersonator. I had a beard when I went to my first competition, even, But went into the bathroom and shaved it off, when I realized theses people were SERIOUS about this Elvis competition.
I do, however keep it neatly trimmed
As a poster above me stated...it's a masculine thing. Just my perception, anyway. If I were a woman, I don't think a man without hair on his face and chest would be a turn on. I believe women should be smooth, and feminine and men should be hairy and masculine. Now if only I could find my way back to my cave dwelling!!
EastbayRay: I don’t usually ask these kind of questions, but:
Girls, do you prefer bearded or clean-shaven men?
And why?
What’s wrong with beards, anyway?
Beardism!!!
(we look so much cooler with beards! - you're just trying to steal our mojos, aren't you?)
Why oh why, Ray, have you chosen to forsake beardism??!! I feel horribly betrayed.
But seriously, you may have missed the poll I started a couple of weeks back, where I asked women to choose between a goatee, stubble, short beard, full beard, and clean-shaven. The various hirsute looks triumphed over clean-shaved by a small but gloriously appreciated margin.
For what it's worth - which obviously wouldn't be much - I think you look better with the short-trimmed beard from your prior main photo. Or maybe it was that hat?
In any case, carry on. It's good to see a philosopher get some much-deserved notice from our female contingent here.
Claayer: some stubble/goatee is fine.. (as long as you aren't planning a marathon kissing session)
But 'beards' noooo .. they smell funny
Well, Claire, that's hardly a problem for some of us who actually clean their beards semi-regularly. Myself, I go the extra step of disinfecting my beard/stubble with regular applications of powdered garlic - which serves the double purpose of livening up makeout sessions and warding off vampires/werewolves.
