(27,705 posts)It smelled and he had particles of food on it. I was so grossed out by him that I told him a small fib that I was not ready to get in a relationship. He called me 2 months later to meet his new girlfriend who was really nasty towards me and he pulled me aside and told me hed drop her for me! I told him no I wasnt looking for a husband in college (truth) like a lot of girls I knew then, But that beard I could t get past!
Luckily, I married to a man who shaves everyday even when hes not feeling well! Ive worked with guys that have nice beards also but as a young woman I said no thank you!

(8,216 posts)My hubby grew one many years ago. Not one of those long billygoat looking things... more like the guy on the Brawny paper towel package. It didn't have food particles in it but it never smelled fresh, either. I asked him to start shampooing it instead of using soap, and it smelled a lot better when he did.
But the guys he worked with (blue collar) teased him and said he smelled like a 'girly-boy' so he went back to using soap. The musty beard-smell was nauseating and I wouldn't let him near me unless he shampooed it first. He couldn't be bothered though, so he just shaved it off.

(15,700 posts)Old Spice and Dove make 3-in-1s for men that's pretty good, leaves his beard soft, and doesn't encourage acne while smelling "manly' or at least neutral. That's what he'll typically get, because we can usually find it when grocery shopping fairly cheap.
Shea Moisture and Duke Cannon both excellent beard specific washes - formulated for the coarse beard hair and sensitive facial skin - you can get at "fancier" stores like Target or Ross.
A dry pomade and coconut or shea butter regimen also works if you want to go home-made.

(30,022 posts)My husband shampoos, conditions, and balms his beard daily.
Therefore it's clean, soft, and not smelly at all.

(24,906 posts)I always joke that it's because I relied on my looks and personality for birth control. This makes my wife angry, but always gets a good laugh from everyone else present.

Couches, sofas and medium-to-large animals are another matter.

(114,758 posts)(because we become considerably less compliant, even those of us who were doormats at 16), and tendency to blame everybody but themselves for their screwups in life, and their basic selfishness.
I know the type well from living down south, where they don't even try to hide it to get laid. I always found it off putting in the extreme. So it worked really well for them as birth control where I was concerned, there wasn't a hope in hell with me.

Im not single anymore but once had a MAGA dude try to sell me on Trump during a date. I figured to respect differences and hear him out but by the end of the date I knew our values were too different.
Im not single these days
he is still single and bitterly complaining about it!
ProudMNDemocrat
(21,029 posts)Reminds me of the Grammy winning comedy album by the late, great Robin Williams called LIVE AT THE MET..
On side 2, Williams goes into Sex, falling in love, pregnancy, and Parenthood. In the sex part, Robin Williams said one does need sex advice from a "tiny Jewish lady", but by a big Black lady by the name of Dr. Roof.."She'll set yo ass straight!"
Robin Williams mimics an insecure man calling into Dr. Roof's radio show. "Dr. Roof! I have a small penis. Will that make a difference?"
Dr. Roof replies..."Honey! You can't whip butta with a toothpick!"
So appropriate for today's MAGA man.

(1,803 posts)All three sons have or had beards, never stank (never smelled anything when we hugged). Not sure why some men are nasty, but if their beards stank, you know their junk did.
Now I'll never get that image out of my head. Sorry. My bad.
