I am talking about this length of stubble being acceptable or maybe a bit less. These are the lengths I prefer to keep my stubble at. I don't particularly like beards as they irritate my skin, but medium-thick stubble fits my face I think.
This is what my facial hair looks like, and this is about as long as I ever let it get. It's long enough that it isn't abrasive for women, which is important of course (don't need to give them any reason to not want to make out with you) Past this point it gets too scruffy/uneven, going over it with a guarded clipper keeps it tidy.
The latest fad of having a 5 o'clock shadow will die out as soon as the celebs start shaving again.
Believe it or not, us guys don't follow celebrities lead nearly as much as women do. We just look in the mirror and go "damn, I look a lot better with facial hair, plus that means I get to be more lazy".
I look 5 years younger with a clean shaven face, just doesn't look right to me.
I have often been told I look good with a goatee, but I am starting to think it's a little douchey plus going gray on the chin, so I don't have one any more. I happen to be able to grow a righteous mustache that looks good on me and there's no gray up there, but it's such a polarizing thing that I don't do it unless I'm on vacation. A bald guy with a big mustache hanging off his face can be a little too intimidating for some.
Guess it all depends. As a guy, I was always clean shaven, had the worst luck with women of any guy I'd ever met.
One older lady I knew told me to grow a full beard and moustache. Boy did that make a difference!
Went from 0 dates to full bore, up to 5 dates a week, (usually different women too!) in no time.
I met my wife while wearing a full beard, got married with a full beard, and for 27 years with my wife, with very few exceptions, I still wear a full beard although I have tried other styles like the van dyke, I still go back to full beard because that's what she likes.
She has told me that I look too nice when clean shaven, boy next door kind of thing, but a beard makes me look rougher, kind of dangerous, as I usually keep my hair really short, so I look like a biker I guess, so that's a turn on.
Whatever works
As an added bonus, I don't have to shave every morning and live with razor burn
I was clean-shaven until the age of 37, when I started growing something of a beard just for the heck of it. I wasn't sure what my wife would think- if it ended up being a turn-off I would have gotten rid of it, but it turned out she really likes it, and I have grown used to it, so it stays.
I make sure it's always groomed, though. #4 for my cheeks and chin, #3 for the moustache zone, #1 under my chin down to the Adams apple, #0 below that.
