Oh. Oh, oh wait! Look!

Why clean-shaven men are about to get sexier than bearded men - The Globe and Mail

I love the reference to hipsters at the end. Now there is one look I absolutely cannot STAND. Pretentious little chits stinking up New York with their bad fashion, bed-bugs, and short, dumpy, smelly-looking, scraggle-haired, kitty-litter women. Out, vermin! OUT, I say!

I kind of get the OPs annoyance. When I am trying to make a good impression on someone, I get my nails done, I do my hair, I do my makeup, I pick out the outfit and the accessories with a little more care.

A guy showing up on a first date with out having shaven kind of sends the message of "I don't care enough to make a good first impression". I get that scruff can be sexy, but the "i don't care" message isn't.

I recently had a reunion with a guy friend that I hadn't seen in 30 years. He didn't bother shaving. I don't really care, bcs we are both married. But MY husband shaved to meet him and his family…so it would seem that my husband cared more about the first impression than my friend did.

I love the stubble look, but I don't care for full on beards or mustaches.

Me too. I like that scraggly man look. The full beard is just far too ZZ Top for me and mustaches are a reminder of 70s porn. I personally find the clean shaven look reminiscent of sleazy bankers for some reason.

I have noticeable stubble the morning after shaving.
If you see me with anything in my face its because I haven't bothered to shave that day.

Unless I am trying to totally be someone I will never be to impress someone I don't know very well, I am not going to bother going out of my way to look how I feel they "like" their men just to gain some ground

What you see is what you get.

Everyone has different cycles depending on a number of factors as to how "quickly" they show hair growth.

Unless it's bad hygiene making you turn your nose in the air i don't see why it's really an issue "with them"

Why would you NOT want to impress someone you are apparently interested in enough to go out on a date with? And male-female interactions being what they are, most likely ASKED on said date? So you're interested her but you don't want her to find you appealing? You're going out with her or asked her out but you don't care what she thinks of you? That makes no sense. Seriously.

This thread cracks me up. We hear so much about how men are so visual, but apparently women shouldn't be. We're supposed to just love the schlub.

I'm not going to put on my 3 piece suit/ Italian loafers, clean shaved just to have coffee at Starbucks. Lol

She's going to see how I'm dressed/my appearance 90% of the time. And besides, women aren't out for appearance but personality. I don't care too much about first impressions, obviously.

If he has a stubble because he was too lazy to shave before the date or that day where he knew he would meed you, well, that's a rejection reason.

If he has a stubble because he thinks he looks cooler and maybe let it grow just for the first date, that's cute.

If he has a stubble because he is insecure about his acne scares, that's understandable.

If he has a stubble because there is some bet going on at work, means he is a team player and a cool dude.

However, you will never find out, because you rejected him right away.

You must have a ton of other options to choose from. Wait, you are online dating, so no, you probably don't.

If you don't get a little more tolerant, you might never find anybody.

What makes you think dragging a razor over your face makes you better then if you don't? It's just a little hair, stop giving meaning to such petty things, jeez. Like "oh no, people can see my completely natural facial hair. They are going to think less of me now!" Really?

What if the guy showed up with a little facial hair because he's gotten a bunch of feedback from people saying that he looks better with it? That means he does in fact care about making a good impression.
