While many people may have a "dislike" for beards, Pogonophobia is an actual phobia for them. Can anybody relate to this?

While I don't think I have Pogonophopia there is something about beards!

I know this is totally unfair but I just wonder if they are clean. Do they accumulate food and other particles? I feel bad for saying this but that is what always springs to mind.

I have never quite understood the attraction of beards in a woman's point of view - anyone got any views out there?

Nope, never understood it muyself but some woman love them!

A recent survey concluded that women view men with facial hair to be not only more masculine but more confident, industrious, generous, and sincere than men who do not have facial hair.
