Beards. I never understood why some women find it so sexy. But I am okay with people having different tastes. What is icky is that some women have made such a huge deal about them that it gets borderline unfair for men who don’t want to bother with grooming or those who cannot grow a full beard.
Beards are one of those things that are at least natural and have uses beyond beauty standards (e.g. some men have sensitive skin that easily gets irritated by shaving, and it protects the skin from sunlight, cold and drying out). If you don’t go all out styling it or having it impractically long, a trimmed beard is less effort than a clean shave (at least for men who have to shave daily to maintain the clean look).

TIL that’s a thing. Beard culture mostly feels like men competing against and/or encouraging other men. And old ladies are pretty direct about fucking hating them.

Fun facial hair is awesome. Love a nice beard or mustache or sideburns. I draw the line at mustache wax tho. It grosses me out for some reason.
Agree with this. I think not every masculine face benefits from a beard.

Yes but the women in question expect a full, thick and groomed beard, not just maintained.
I really don’t think that kind of expectation is that common.

Many women, especially Instagram scrollers cannot stop raving about beards.
My SO would never let me shave mine. It’s also a good way to immediately change my appereance/look 10 years younger if I ever want/need to.
Yeah, I look like a teenager without a beard. I look like a father of a teenager with one lol.
