My ex, liked my facial hair short. When our relationship dissolved, I grew a long beard.
Surprisingly, LOTS of women loved it. They constantly wanted to touch it. Some, would just grab it…
I remember working security, at a beach club once. I was “floating”(walking the crowd.) I had sunglasses on, and was reading the crowd, so I wasn’t paying attention to most of the females. An older lady grabbed my beard, and instinctively, I grabbed her wrist really hard. She screamed, in pain. I immediately apologized, and went to get an ice pack, for her arm. When I got back, she had a hand print bruise, already on her wrist. As I was tending to her arm, she apologized for grabbing me. I was sad I hurt her, but relieved that she wasn’t going to press charges for assault. She admitted that it was stupid, and that she wouldn’t want a strange man to grab her hair.
I can think of dozens of times, when I would be walking through a store, and a strange woman would just say “I love your beard.”
Such a strange thing. I grew it, because I hated my ex. A lot of girls liked it.
Obviously, it’s a matter of taste.
It’s said that a hairy man, has more testosterone, than a non-hairy man. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
One time, a man approached me, at a venue I was working. He asked me if I would let him touch my beard. I told him, that would not be a good idea. He tried to talk me into it. I told him to go away. He did.
A few minutes later, the owner of the venue came up to me, and said “you earned me $100.”
I was confused. He said “that guy bet me $100, that he could touch your beard… So. That guy lost the bet.
What an odd world…
