Beard Question for Ladies...

[Luminous]

I don’t know much about beard care, but I recommend not letting it curl into your mouth. The grossest beards always have like, stiff, spitty hair along the upper lip.

That sounds so gross.

A daily application of beard oil will work wonders and limit the pubicity of a beard. I also recommend a nice beard and face wash for use in the shower. Normal soaps and shampoos tend to leave beards dry and frizzy. Trim pubey looking hairs with a small pair of scissors. A small comb will also help, especially if you’re going for a longer, bushier look, as combing them will make for straighter, less pubey hairs

I use a length attachment on an electric shaver to trim my upper lip and eliminate hairs that curl into my mouth or attract food particles

If all of that is a pain but you don’t want to go clean shaven, just use an electric razor with a length attachment and trim to a nice, short beard that’s longer than a five o clock shadow but shorter than pubish length. If doing this, keep the neck clean shaven to avoid a neckbeard. Neckbeards have been linked to conditions such as Bronyism, Involuntary Celibacy, and Fedora Syndrome

In general I find beards sloppy. So no, I wouldnt grow one. I have only seen a handful of men who groom their beards the way they should IMO be groomed. For me its like any other hair on your body it should be maintained. Im into chest hair but not face hair so if i had to have it i would be waxing that shit regularly.

side note: I did date someone who didn't groom their beard and it began to repulse me so maybe thats where this strong aversion comes from.

I’ve kind of let it go lately. It’s gotten a little beastly and unruly. I need to do some more facepube scaping. I’m also getting more grey hairs, though I don’t mind.

Like a mid 70s era Playboy centerfold.

I always thought it was creepy when women shaved, because I like my women to look like women rather than 10 year olds

I absolutley agree with you. Its a turn off to me when men get weirded out by bush... The strange fascination with making a thing of beauty so infantile is just fucking weird IMO

Our generation grew up watching porn filled with shaved women, but I always preferred full bush.

I've never had any desire to have one, no.

And as for my views on women having 'excessive' body hair, I don't really believe there's such a thing as too much hair to begin with. Whether a woman were to grow a beard or not wouldn't change that for me. xD I still think it's insane how some people feel the need to speak on whether I shave my legs or not, for instance.....what? Literally how would that effect someone else?

I wear pants or legging 98% of the time anyway so often I lose my ability to care about my leg hair.

Likewise, and you know I understand that there are differences between men and women but when it comes to body hair, I don't get why it has to boil down to more than just personal preference, that's all.

I guess this kind of thing really bothers me lmao. It would be like if I saw some dude wearing eyeliner and told him how weird I just decided that is.

Maybe if a female beard was considered a kind of whimsical hairstyle and not actual facial hair. I don't really have an overwhelming desire to look gritty, although I do appreciate how facial hair has the ability to contour the face.

Māori facial tattoos are also appealing.

I think most of us do secretly have some facial hair that we shave, bleach, pluck, or use chemicals to remove, especially as we get older. They sell special products specifically to help women hide or get rid of it, as though it were an unsightly blemish. I’ve known a few who didn’t, and they tend to be viewed harshly for it. The hairs on my face are actually the only hairs I remove, aside from the occasional haircut, because it is far more taboo than having hairy legs, armpits, or a bush.

If it were common and socially acceptable, I would grow it out like I do with all of my other body hair. I’m old, though, and I think it might be harder to get younger people onboard. The newer generations grew up with enticing internet videos where everything is shaved except the head, eyebrows, and eyelashes, so their ideas about what is expected, attractive, and normal have been heavily influenced by that. We didn’t have such internet videos back in my day. We didn’t really have the internet, or if it existed, it wasn’t something most of us knew about. We still used typewriters and sent actual hand-written letters by mail, and our phones were attached to our walls and literally had to be dialled by turning a plastic circle to each number, so a lot has changed. One of the things that changed was the ease of influencing cultural perception and spreading ideas. It is much faster now to turn what may begin as a fashion trend into a universal expectation that everyone treats as the new standard. It is possible that this could mean female beards could someday catch on if popularised online, but I see things trending in the opposite direction, where it is far more likely that someday shaving off our eyebrows or shaving our heads will be expected, and anything else will be seen as gross.
