Just for the Ladies

[lamble]

Ladies,

I've noticed that in the USA, the amount of facial hair on the bikers I see, far exceeds that of the bikers in the UK, or Europe for that matter. Often a bewiskered Father Christmas will go riding by, or a moustachioed look-a-like for the Village People will be leaning against their bike.

Why is this?

Is it a fashion thing?
Did the motorcycling male in the US reach the 1960s and think, "yep I'll stop here".
And what's with the pony tail stuff too?

I hold you ladies responsible for letting these travesties of fashion out and about without shaving...or, is there something that American women find attractive about face fuzz, grabbing a faceful of dead badger in moments of passion, perhaps.

Is it an age thing, a culture thing, a lazy and can't be bothered to shave thing, or something else?
Are male BMW riders more hersuit than other brands?

Ladies, your opinions please. Should they shave?

If any of you Ladies out there have facial hair that's fit for the Carnival sideshow, please realise this is not aimed at you and no offense is intended, but electrolysis is an honourable way out.

Now I remember why I enjoy the BBC so much, dry British humor.

By the way, I have long hair and a beard because I like it that way (and I am most definitely not a Biker, never owned an HD or even a cruiser). My wife agrees.

Oldhway, you are not a Lady, so your opinion counts for nothing. I've learned that from my Wife!

PS. Any of you that are not using your 'Us', humor vs Humour, being an example, please can you put them on one side, as I will make good use of them. Humungously gratefully yours, Lamble.

If facial hair is not trimmed, well maintained and clean, it can be disgusting. Nothing worse than having your man say "gimme a kiss" as he comes at you with a booger clinging to his mustache.
:)

The clean part goes for long hair, too.

Susan. What an endearing visual you paint so vividly.

What's the decorum to follow when facing such an occurance?

Grin and bear it and pucker up, with an extended upper pucker?

Point it out and hope it's been there long enough to have gone brittle and can be brushed off?

Run. Run like the very wind itself, run home to momma, run little girl run...?

Think, ahh lunch?

[535is]

Just 'throwbacks'. Guys that never got over the Sixties. Used to be one myself. Now shave regularly except for a 'Buck Dharma' mustache and get a haircut every six months whether I need it or not ... :D

[bubbagazoo]

I removed my moustache a few years ago because my wife kept complaining about getting hair up her nose every time I kissed her :D

I didn't realize there were so many options! I point it out with a big "EWWW"!!! :laugh

Could be worse... Could be dinner in there... And this kiss is asked for at breakfast.

I'm guessing most mustachioed men, and quite a few clean shaven men, have never partaken of a good big wet slobbering snog with a mustachioed bloke. Okay some of you may be.

But from a ladies' point of view, what's it like?
Which is better, smooth or haired?
Or don't you care, and are just glad of a bouche a bouche moment?
Or either, just no tongues!

I have no intention of finding out first hand, so am reliant upon you good ladies.

On a gross out thought, ever snogged a bloke with mustache dandruff?
Is that even a thing?

Has it occurred to you that you have far too much time on your hands? :scratch

Only on Monday and Friday, and that comes to an end in October for 6 months when every day will be a riding day.

I'm currently working 3 days a week breaking interactive software logic. Monday and Friday I work on the unchainedworld website and on the three tea tour planning and media content, plus learning a bit of spanish and video editing. Apart from that and the visa application documentation, various blogs and media meetings and I guess the rest is just wasted time, pondering life's little ponderables.

Where does the time go?

[lamble]

As I mentioned, I have this 6 month ride coming up. I'm torn between shaving or not. I feel that every other day might be all that's required. Don't fancy a full set.

Anyone who has watched or will be watching LWR or LWD sees Ewan get hairier as the trip progresses, until he turns into a full jedi O Bi Wanker Nobby (I'm sure George Lucas did it just to see if he could get away with it). Now I don't think that's a good look, even with a monk's hood.

All of my exes have had facial hair. I tend to like a nice mustache or a van dyke (goatee) on a man. I don't mind a little stubble, just don't try to exfoliate my face with it. I'm not as fond of a full beard but they're ok too. My stepdad has really long eyebrows, which I find just weird. Enough hair on top to run the fingers through is nice too, but these days I'm not that picky.

My ex-Husband would change his look pretty regularly (he was schizophrenic, after all), and the look I liked the least was clean shaven.

Kisses can get ticklish. As with all things when dealing with a partner, if there's something unwanted in there, honesty is the best policy. If you come away from the pucker with a little more hair than you wanted, it's ok to quietly remove it from your mouth. Don't complain, and don't panic (it's all organic).

It's as always a personal preference and ymmv. Personally, a little facial hair turns me on. :heart

[anitarides]

I find facial hair on a gentleman very attractive. As the ladies before me have stipulated it must be clean and well groomed. I can't imagine anything but a wonderful smile beneath his mustache. IMHO a ponytail is meant for a full head of hair only.

Take a good look at Robert Plant on the CD cover of Raising Sand. Nice.

I'm with anitarides...

Trimmed beards or running rampant like a rabid badger though?

Father Christmas or...can't think of anyone with a decent beard..Chuck Norris perhaps.

Who'd be your bearded heart throb ladies or your hursuit hero gentlemen (who I've noticed sneek in here from time to time)?

Obviously Tom Selleck was the mustache maestro.

Yeah these women are definitely in the minority these days.

Not that I'm complaining, since I can't grow anything that doesn't look totally stoopid... :laugh

You're not alone, Veg. I could do a goatee I guess, but no mustache... I'm cursed with a "bald" spot right in the middle of my upper lip. Weird. Maybe I could grow it out on each side and do a mustache comb-over? :p

Heh, you should do it and post the results here...maybe all the hot babes in the MOA will swarm on you!

I can grow a sketchy moustache that doesn't connect to the rest of the facial hair, and my beard-area grows too thin and its hairs point to one side, and one of my sideburns grows twice as thick as the other...so I definitely should stay clean-shaven.

All of the MOA babes? That might be hard to handle... there are so many! :p Nah; my luck seems better with non-MOA girls as of late. I'll work on getting them to join up, later. I consider it recruiting. :ha

Aside from the goatee and mustache problem, I can't do anything else. If I don't shave my cheeks I start to look like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. Zoinks!

[lamble]

So there's a challenge..should we have a grow facial hair for MOA Babes contest?

Ladies, what do you think...pretty pink pre-hair shots and let's say 6 weeks from the start date, or eight weeks to be safe a face fuzz pic?
There could be a category for those already bestowed with fantastic follical face fungii.

Of course any ladies that wish to join in can...this isn't a sexist limitation thing and I do apologise in advance for calling any of you "babes" as I'm sure you aren't, unless that would get me into more trouble, in which case, you all are...it's the new male dilemna!

I won't be joining the contest. I don't think I'd look so good all unshaven. On top of that, I'm making a trip out of town at the end of next week to meet up with a lady friend, and I need to be looking my best... I'm hoping for lots of darkness. :D

Honestly, if I go a few days without shaving my face gets all "stiff" feeling. Not pleasant. I'll stick with my daily electric shaving (which is close enough for me) or the occasional lazy day where I let it go. :)

As a wet shaver I challenge you to a smoothness test. No idea how we'd work it out, or who the judges should be.

However, on the basis that total ignorance of any facts, or realistic goals, has never hampered me previously, here's a thought:

We both shave. Then we find two babies and rub our faces up against theirs. The baby that then cries the most...actually that won't work, a sample baby that's not teething would be needed for both of us.

How about, sticking with the baby idea, we see which baby develops the worst post exfoliating rub rash?

Anyone got a couple of babies we could use?

Wet shaves rule!

Which of course naturally leads on to, and where else do you want your man to shave?

Eye brows, backs, waxed chests, back sack and crack?

I winced typing that last one.

Mentioning other areas of hair removal. Has anyone seen the movie Duece Bigelow Male Gigelow? In my opinion (which isn't worth much) that movie is a true classic. Especially when he is at the beauty parlor.
