I’ve been fuzzy-faced for about seven years now. I started with a moustache, moved to a full face beard, transitioned to a closely cropped beard and now wear a closely-trimmed goatee.
I originally grew it to fight my baby-faced image.
So - without risk of offense, do you like your men smooth, moustached, or ZZ Top?
goatees on baby faces, but if you got the cheekbones for it, why not clean shaven?
However it suits their face and their style. I’ve dated men with a variety of facial hair or lack thereof. Clean shaven, goatee, fuller beard, close-trimmed beard, moustache. Married to a guy with a reasonably full beard.
I don’t like razor stubble much, but that’s my only personal comment - if it looks good on them, then it is fine with me. Just make sure it isn’t pokey or scratchy before you kiss me (same goes for recently trimmed beards - I’ve been prickled most unpleasantly now and then…). Um, not that I’m offering to be kissed, I think epeepunk might object. 
Yup - definitely have to watch for things that prick and poke.
Oh, and my Lady B would definitely object - her family has a proud tradition of shooting at wayward husbands. :eek:
My husband has gone the whole route - he had a full beard when we married, which varied from full and bushy (but never long) to groomed close and short. He had to shave to just a mustache for one job - I hated that, and he hated the job, so he quit after a few weeks and went back to his fuzzy face. Then he did a goatee, which I don’t think suited him. Back to full beard - but the hair on his cheeks is almost white now, so when he shaved to a goatee again, I didn’t even notice. Regardless of the configuration, he needs facial hair.
My dad grew a mustache once - his face is WAY too round for it and we laughed so much, he shaved it (bad kids)
So, it depends on the face. Three of the four guys I dated most seriously had full beards at one point. All but one guy in my former stable had at least a mustache. But I’ve been known to lust after bare-faced guys, too.
Does that answer your question?
I prefer my husband bare-faced, but he insists on a moustache most of the time, and a beard in the winter.
I try to be understanding, as the face fur helps insulate the skin from frostbite, but DAMN, those things are disgusting! Do you HAVE to come in out of two hours in -30 and give me a big kiss without wiping the frost and other associated grossness off it? (Note to the inexperienced: Extreme cold makes your nose run. Think moustache icicles. Ick ick ick ick.)
Facial hair on anyone else? Depends on the face it’s on, and how well-kept it is. Although , that little tuft just under the lower lip seems particularly silly, it just screams “I am an artistic wanna-be, watch me angst!”. I’ve never seen that style on anyone else, so I may have formed my opinion on a biased sample.
Some women do have a strong preference, but for most, it totally depends on the guy’s face. My ex-BF and the one before him both had goatees and looked great with 'em, my fiance is clean shaven and looks fantastic like that. My dad had a full beard and mustache, but for a while he had a mustache only, and was a handsome devil either way.
I like facial hair. My husband has a full beard–has had one for years and has no intention of getting rid of it (yeah!). No facial hair is fine, of course, I just prefer the hairy look.
I’ve never seen my husband without a beard. Thing I like best about it is the benefit to me: no beard burn - anywhere.
As Homer said to Flanders: “Makes people think you have something to hide.”
Also stuck in my mind is the bit in World According to Garp about the child molester. (Guy grows moustache, molests girl in park, then shaves in the restroom knowing the first thing she’ll tell about him is he had a moustache.)
So there you have it - People with facial hair are obviously child molesters! Other than that, I have no opinion. 
Actually, Geobabe is right. Depends on the face; also what you’re used to seeing on the guy. Am I attracted to facial hair? Absolutely not. Nothing wrong with it, but just not the “look” I’m into, much the way some people are/aren’t into a certain haircolor or style of dressing, etc.
As long as the facial hair is well groomed, and not a “flavor saver”, I don’t really have a preference.
I’m going against the tide here: I adore clean-shaven men. I love those smooooooooth cheeks–woof! My boyfriend shaves his face and his head and the minute he comes out of the shower (where he shaves) I simply can’t resist fondling his face and head!
Also, I feel that mustaches and beards are hard to keep clean (there’s a reason they used to call 'em ‘soup strainers’) and the goatee thing is just so overdone now.
I really don’t like facial hair at all, which probably explains why, save for one, all of my BF’s have been clean shaven.
The one that had a goatee a) had no chin to speak of; and b) had in in 1992 when it was still trendy so I guess I can forgive him that.
I think that if a man has a problem like a really weak chin that can be corrected with some facial hair, go for it - other than that, I wanna see yer face, baby!
My husband has had a beard for about 6 years now. Last month, he came home with it all shaved off. He even shaved his head.
I wasn’t prepared for the sight and burst out laughing when he walked in the door.
I haven’t been completely forgiven for that yet but he is growing the beard back.
I find a beard or stubble sexy. It suits some men but just doesn’t work on others. Depends on the facial structure and hair color, I think.
I love clean-shaven men. First of all, they just look more upkept. Secondly, I’m very, very ticklish and facial hair doesn’t help that. And I hate stubble…it hurts! Never, ever, ever kiss me with stubble, or I will rudely pull away.
My dad has had a beard most of the years I’ve been around, so I figure I imprinted on facial hair like a duckling.
Mustaches are fine, but I’m really more interested in the full facial treatment. Besides, it tickles nicely.
So what do women think of chops? I’ve decided to be compleatly different so I’ve started growing chops. I’ve shaved the underside of my chin/neck and the chin under the mouth. I’ve been getting some strange looks, so is it just to bizzar for the ladies or what?
I hate hate hate facial hair, I won’t date a guy that has any hair around his mouth at all. It irritates my skin and I don’t like how it looks. Very long sideburns are OK, I even like them if it goes with the hairstyle, but no goatees, mustaches, or dorky little puffs of hair on the chin please.
I won’t kiss a man with hair around his mouth.
I’m like phouka. My dad has always had a beard, plus he’s a faculty member and I think over half his colleagues (whom I saw at art shows) had them too.
I imprinted.
But it does depend on the face.
And chops, to me, look pretty crazy.
The hubby is not allowed to shave his moustache. There is exactly one picture of him, post-puberty, without facial hair, and he looks Exactly. Like. His. Brother.
No offense to his brother, but that creeps me the hell out.
As a vague general principle, I like facial hair (mmm, fuzzies) but it’s not a biggie for me. (And sometimes I like a little beardburn, if I’m feeling kinky. Yes, I know that’s weird.)
