most women prefer stubble..... not all.. but id say the majority.
I can grow a nice beard if i want... I generally keep it at the lowest clip at all times.. or if i want to last logner without trimming, just straight electric without a clip.....gives you the look of having shaved with a razor 3-5 days ago.
i keep it at the "house-look". Hugh from the show house is what i keep mine at.
certain people's facial structure look better with certain types of facial hair... gives more definition or shape to larger rounder heads etc....
im 25 and i always have that stubble going on.. once in awhile ill shave it all for fun for a reason and i seriously look like a child and i hate how i look with it. I have had a lot of women say it looks better shaven.. but then also say actually i think its better like this (after a few days of growing out)
but another thing I've noticed is that younger women like under 22ish generally prefer less facial hair and older than that like facial hair.....
ill post this example cuz its fresh..
my gf and i were watching a linkin park concert at my place .. from the live in texas dvd...

im not gay or bi but i'd agree, that he looks more presentable and cleaner somehow with the beard.
