I cannot tell a lie. I am neither a woman nor a limp Bizkit fan. O the guilt!
Well, I really like the babyface look. A lot. On the other hand, my hubby has had a mustache since he was a teen, and I didn’t like it when he shaved it off, he didn’t look like himself.
He is over in UAE at the moment, and has grown a goatee to go with his 'stache, so he now has a Van Dyke. Hmmmmm. I’m reserving judgement till I see him in person in a few weeks. <YIPPEEEE!!>
The bottom line for me is, if it’s clean and neat, go for it. Some guys look very sexy with facial hair. Some guys look very kissable without any facial hair. So, ask your SO, if you have one, or someone else that you may be interested in.
You are more than a human being, you are a human becoming.

If you’d asked a few years ago, I would of said get rid of it. Back then I didn’t like any guy with facial hair. Then I fell for (and married) a guy with a small beard and mustache. Who knows? What I’m saying is stick with what you like. Even if someone you’re interested in doesn’t like it at first, wow her with your charm and sophistication 
and she’ll ignore such a trivial thing as facial hair.
BTW, my husband keeps his for the same reason you do except he looks about 14 without it.

I’ve been clean shaven most of my life, except for those days when I’d be too lazy to shave.
In the last couple of weeks, I’ve grown a Van Dyke (I think of it as a goatee, but it’s obviousy the Van Dyke thingie). Like the origonol(sp) poster, I look young for my age: I was still getting carded up until about three years ago.
The point of this rambling is: experement. If you want to see what reactions will be, then shave it. It won’t take long to grow it back, ya know?
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Put me down in favor of goatees, too. I have an overweight, rather chinless friend whom I recently convinced to grow one, and he has been thanking me ceaselessly—it really improved his looks 100%
I aodre goatees, Van Dykes, moustaches. Think they’re perfectly dreamy.
I think goatees or van dykes look great on men. My bf is babyfaced and definately nice looking but when he grew a van dyke it just made him look even better. It gives him a bit of an edge and there is just something sexy about them. Just play with it until you find something you like.

Do you like it? I mean, you’re the one who has to deal with it. I’ve known lots of guys who had facial odornments just because they thought they should. They didn’t look comfortable. Scratched at it, etc.
Whatever makes you feel the best is definitely what’s going to make you look the best. It’s that inner shine, baby.
A goatee used to be just a longish ‘tongue’ of beard from under the lip only, like a goat’s beard, but it’s now generally used to mean a circular beard/moustache around the mouth, like Ben Affleck. I understood a Van Dyke to be a moustache and a tiny triangular beard under the lip, like one of the Three Musketeers.
I’ve got a goatee, and I dunno whether people are attracted to it or not. But I can tell you that once I’ve gotten someone into bed, I can do some pret-ty amazing things with it.
Re uncomfortable: My beard used to feel like a big thick muffler on my face once I’d just grown it. Now I have to touch it sometimes just to make sure it’s still there.
It depends entirely on the individual; some men look good with facial hair and others look hideous. That said, I personally don’t like it at all. If I were single, a guy with a beard would not be first to catch my eye, regardless of his other attributes. (And obviously I’m not saying I couldn’t get past that once I knew someone as a person, but only that I wouldn’t be saying at first sight, “Ooo, what a cutie, wish he’d come up and talk to me.”)
I have a brother-in-law who has sported a beard all of his adult life because he is self-conscious about a double chin. (He’s not fat, just made that way.)
SO is utterly baby-faced (and clean shaven), as I’m sure he still will be at the age of 70, and I adore it. But I’m sure that’s biased.
There’s a guy in my office who always seems to have about a three day growth of beard (with a full mustache). It never gets longer, so he must trim it daily, but it’s never clean shaven either. Apparently it is not just going through the transition to full beard, but is intended to stay that way. What’s up with that?

Yes Struuter, I like it very much. I don’t feel like myself when I completely shaven. Shaved is when I get uncomfortable.

I personally dig a cool, well kept look like that on a guy. Baby face or not. Very masculine. There is, also, that very interesting feeling of kissing someone with facial hair. If its soft and cared-for (sounds like you, by your description), it is especially nice. 'Nuff said.
I go both ways. Sometimes I like a goatee, sometimes I like a soft smooth face. Just depends on whether I’m feeling butch or not I guess.

Depends on the face, I can’t see the face, so why don’t you post a picture MagicalSilverKey?

Personally… I can’t stand facial hair… I’m younger though, so maybe it doesn’t apply to you… just my opinion

Boy, it took a while for me to find out what a “van dyke” looks like (finally found it at http://planet.ten.net/~nbc/images/beardex.GIF).
I personally like goatees a LOT, as long as they’re well-trimmed. Emphasis on well-trimmed, please. I don’t care for that walrus-mustache look; for one thing I have a terrible time not staring if a guy gets food on his too-long facial hair!
