Evening Legend, I used to hate facial hair but when I met my ex he had a goatee and was just pretty hairy in general and I liked it as he looked about 15 without it. Now I generally prefer beards or at least a bit of stubble, rather than totally clean shaven.
The only problem with facial hair is that if it's not looked after it can soon look horrible and grotty, especially if the gentleman in question is a bit jowelly, not that I'm saying you are of course :)
This is the second time today I have discussed facial hair with someone, how strange.
