I don’t know what kind of women you know, David, but most of the women I
know would disagree with your statement. I myself prefer a man with *
well-groomed* facial hair. My S/O has a full beard and mustache, neatly
cropped. My late ex had a mustache and I told him if he ever shaved it I’d
leave him. (I eventually did, but not for that!) What I can’t stand is the
3-day scruffy look, or the really bad facial hair favored by the alt-right
and rednecks.
