Existence is a heavy burden, only high spirited ones can bear it.
If you've grown a beard for religious reasons, why would you care what other people think?
But generally, if you look like Osama Bin Laden, people's perceptions of you (1st impressions) might be "terrorist", and depending on where you are, you might get into trouble. The reason I say this is that people react to things based on their perceptions and if they are not open-minded, that could endanger your personal safety (or as you are probably more concerned about, women may find it a turn-off). You could change the way you dress, if you think you must, hide the beard or something like that.
/If you're here in Qatar, no issue.
//To answer your question - I personally do not find a man with too much facial hair attractive.
(And I am not a man, contrary to my avatar. Can't change it yet. Did try but no luck)
I love beards. I find them very very sexy. On my husband only! (him being gross just doesn't bother me anymore accept when he picks his ears with his spectacles)
I admit though that our muslim men do not know how to properly take care of their beards and groom them. (hubby included). They should make a grooming law in muslim countries.
mmm Whats up with the lack of deodarant by some expats in Qatar? Do you guys just use talcum powder or something?
we have to take care and handle well of each and every sunnath of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) then differently it will be good for us and we will enjoy in both life.

Well.. I don't know about other girls but personally speaking, I don't like men with beards.. I mean I would never fantasize about a man having a long beard because I would know that he is a religious man and I would give him all due respect but when it comes to getting married, I would like to get married to a clean shaved man.. A chikna chokra I mean.. But please do not get me wrong.. I am a Muslim and I respect all religious men and women.. If you are a religious man and you have kept a long beard for religious reasons, then you better find a good Muslima as your wife.. A woman who covers from head to toe and probably her face too.. A religious Muslima would accept the beard with all her heart. May Allah bless you with a good woman. Aameen
are u afraid Women might mistaken u for OSAMA BIN LADEN?
Chill out man,Osama's Picture is everywhere. U need not worry abt ur Long Beard,just keep it neat,tidy and not too long, u wld be suprised at how Women wld be falling at ur feet.
Hmm, most muslim men are extremely clean, I think the people you are referring to as being a bit ripe are the poor guys who dont have access to showers and proper toiletries as their first priority is being able to eat. This has no religious bounds, it is more of a financial issue. I know you will say a bar of soap only costs a few riyals but these poor chaps dont even have access to properly wash their clothes. Given the choice between a bar of soap and a bag of bread I would imagine they would choose the bread hands down.
whats your problem if i have a 2meter long beard its mine i like it that way doesnt matter what you think about it the hairs wont fall oh and its soft like fur not itchy buggers :/
well, how the beard makes the man more religious? REally...can you imagine the smell on that hair? OMG... not a chance.... specially how bathing doesnt seem a daily habit in this side of the world...
That's what the UN, US & Islam enemies say. Thats also what they aim to put in the minds of the ppl around the world. So, they bring in mentally retarded ppl & make them grow beards. Let them say ALLA WA AKBAR & cut ppl in to pcs. Which finally ended up that any LON G BEARD person wearing SHORT "THOBE" are considered TERRORIST.
The guys from ZZ Top have long beards, they are considered cool....
Maybe if you said your beard was an attempt to join ZZ Top you would get more support (just kidding Habari, I think your choice is commendable and you should be open with your reasoning).
was my question not clear enough, you either do or don't like the beard, that's all I was asking.
Tara, sorry, you seem to be taking it to another level. What beard do you like then, christian, jewish, muslim, hindu, sikh or should it be american, english, indian, african
Ok that makes Captain Birds Eye a terrorist? British sailors have beards so please donot generalise Beards with Terrorist..
One man Terrorist is another mans Freedom Fighter.. I had a Facial Bead for 8 years..But was never refered to as a terrorist.. Keep the terrorist shit out of the thread please and just give your view if you like the damm man with a beard or not...lol
It never even crossed my mind that you have to get the skin wet every wudu although it is obvious. Thats a huge responsibility as beard hair is majorly thick and corse.
Ther are plenty available at carefoure and lulu. However, you have to keep it nice and tidy, broom and groom it. Also when you do your ablution for prayer, you have to make sure the water has contact with your skin, so it has to penetrate the beard, meaning that you have to wash it every time you do ablution for prayer. So it is always kept clean and tidy and not like a hill billy
well, honestly? It scares me a bit. Not my fault but from what we have seen on the news. ANd honestly... my impression is that those long beards are pretty smelly and ichy.
if you have it for religious reasons, well... then keep it. but i dont really think it is a chick's favourite.
Thanks guys for the info.... seems like a lot of work.... A guy I knew had a bearcd for years, when he finally shaved it he said his neck and face were freezing for 2 weeks (not related but thought I would throw it in anyway).
Yep that colour looks awfully strange but we see ppl dying their (head)hair blue, pink etc etc in west too :) Some men are more prone to wearing jewellery to such extent that we can see their nose, eyebrows, lips pierced too :) Strange things are everywhere hehehehe but its good to enjoy watching them & let them breathe in their own space :)
I saw once on Discovery/Science Channel(?!) how many small little things can live inside that "world",how difficult is to keep it clean cause of it's density and exposure, comparing with the head&body hair. And being close to mouth, eyes, nose some of "them" can be at the origin of specific illnesses (e.g.allergy)...really!!!:-(
Anything under limit looks nice. One of the gentleman, I remember was the neighbour in one of my workplace & I am damn sure it was half meter long. Although that guy was a bit religious but this way he is / was promoting wrong impression about Islam. As far as I understand Islam urges on cleanliness to such an extent that it makes half of your faith & beard in Islamic teachings should not exceed more than the size of your hand (correct me if I am mistaking). So, half meter of beard would turn any person off :) but tidy stuff is admired by all. For me, if I feel either it is grown:

I dont particularly like the beard really long but facial hair on a man, if kept tidy, is nice.
I always wonder how hard it is to keep the long beard clean. Do you shampoo and condition it everytime you shower like your head hair (I am not being stupid, I am interested to know this).
I saw a guy brushing his long black beard with a hair brish the other day. Seems very high maintenance.

Depends on the beard, depends on the face, depends on the hair.
You have grown the beard for "religious reasons" so y r u so concerned about women thoughts
BUT if really u wana know so my answer is very fake who r just trying to prove themself to be very religious person.
is it fine with u now?
and not attractive oh guess am doing great then will grow it more.
and i would not shave it, whatever a woman thinks.
just trying to find out what women think, just for the sake of information.
Could apply to men, just in terms of what your thoughts are.
No hidden agenda behind this question, just a simple innocent question
terrorist
some men looks very fine with beard and some simply don't.
Personally I don't find facial hair attractive on a man.
Is this question only for women?
A very strange question indeed.
You have grown the beard for "religious reasons".. Good for you, so you should not worry about what others think about it.
Others grow them for personal reasons - again its their choice..
