Bf went to Atlantic City with a bunch of his friends this last weekend, and he lost his voice and got drunk and got 3 hours of sleep.
When he appeared on Skype yesterday, his hair was all wild, his beard was nuts and his eyes were half-closed with sleepiness, plus he still had the husky gravelly lost-my-voice-recently thing going on.
BF was clean-cut when we first started dating, but as soon as I saw what a beard looked like on him, I begged him to keep it. He's the first dude I've ever liked scruffy. He can get mountain-man wild very quickly though, so he's careful to keep it groomed.
I love love love me some scruffy (short) beard. I begged FI to grow one for our first year of dating and he finally did in our second year. Now he grows it out from November-Aprilish and calls it his "winter beard." Lucky for me he's been too lazy to shave yet so it's still hanging around!
I like clean-cut, although I don't mind a closely trimmed beard. Not all men can pull those off. Poor FI looks like he has a 5:00 shadow right after he shaves because he has really dark hair and fair skin. He refuses to grow a beard because after not shaving a day he starts to look like either a pedophile or a homeless man.
I like my men clean cut. The planned scruffy look is appealing on some men, but I hate the feel of whiskers on my face --- ouch! The hangover scruffy look is a major turn off for me.
Bf is back in PA, applying for jobs like mad. He's coming back to Cali this weekend for almost a month, to finish packing his apartment and walk for his PhD stuff and network. Basically, he's in limbo
In general, I think I prefer grizzled. My H, I'll take either way. He got cleaned up for our date Friday night and I hardly made it through the movie he looked so damn hot. But I also love by the end of the weekend when he usually hasn't shaved in 4-5 days and looks really scruffy.
I like Mr. Bang clean cut and groomed as far as his hair but a little bit of scruff on his face. He is just hot no matter what, heh. In general I'm more drawn to men who aren't afraid to be a little scruffy. They look more manly and less high maintenance.
My FI like himself all clean cut though he looks handsome scruffy. He has to shave everyday because his shadow appears so quickly so sometimes he leaves his beard.
