What women want?

[plpenn]

My wife likes the feel of my face BBS but she always tells me I look so young so I normally have a goat or beard of some sort, before she complains that it's too long

[Rushman2112]

How on earth would we know??

[ShaveThis]

I really wanted to vote for both because it depends. If we are going out or doing business stuff it's BBS all the way. But when we are working around the homestead and I'm on the tractor and working hard, she loves the scruff and insists on having her way with me when we are done working. She let's me know the scruff is good.

Nice replies!

I still believe that fashionable 5 o'clock shadow started because some celeberity (sports, film, whatever) rebelled against his carts.

Sheen & Pitt were blowing all their money on booze & dope, and couldn't afford carts. Such are the origins of social trends...

Why is there no 'I don't know' option?

Why is there no 'I don't know' option?

There should be because it's the real truth, isn't it?

[RobAtSGH]

Women want both. I need a button for that option. They want the fashionable "shadow" but also want a well groomed BBS face to love on. I still believe that fashionable 5 o'clock shadow started because some celeberity (sports, film, whatever) rebelled against his carts.

+1 on this. The missus loves the rough-n-stubble look, but wants a smooth face for close engagement.

[LegendofVogel]

my wife prefers about threes days growth, but well trimmed and tidey edges.

[StuMcB]

The Mrs prefers me clean shaven. As a solicitor she's programmed to not trust beards or any facial hair.

[fishaholic]

Well, I'm a woman, and I want BBS! YMMV, of course.

How on earth would we know??

Amen.

[Bengal Tiger]

I'm sure it depends on what you're doing. I've had women deliberately rub their face against my 3 day old stubble and remark about how much they love that feeling. There's an....um...slightly different activity where they have indicated they don't want any scratchiness.

[Prince]

BBS all the way.

Let me look it up-

Sadly, that's only the table of contents...we would've printed the real book, but the trees revolted when it came time to get the paper.

A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, underneath a barely adequate dye-job, wearing Lulu Lemon and Coach.

Gee I hope they have that out on CD soon!

[KMF79]

Let me look it up-

Lmao! That's F'n great. You'll look up the answer only to find it's written in Women. Good luck with the deciphering there buddy. We'll come back in a week and still not understand what it says, then give up and go back to doing what we want to do.

My lady prefers me with a 5 o'clock shadow. But that's due in part to the fact that I've had one for about 5 years. Now I'm transitioning from a blue collar to white collar job, so you begin to understand why I DE shave. I do however maintain a nice goatee. You've gotta give it up for a well manicured goat.

My wife absolutely HATES, no DESPISES the current "stubble" look. She loves a clean-shaven face. She gets upset if I skip even one day of shaving. She also doesn't like to kiss me if I skip a day, so (as you may have guessed by now) I shave every day.

I agree with one of the earlier posters who suggested it might depend on the woman's age, too. People my wife's age and above generally think stubble makes a person look like a slob, so they don't like it. Young women are used to it because they see it everywhere and never got used to the idea that men should always been clean shaven.
