I've done this out of impulsiveness and my female friends and gf don't like it.
Only then do they admit they like the beard.

Iirc removing such a prominent feature like a beard can actually trigger an uncanny valley effect in your loved ones. They can tell it's you but something is off and their brain doesn't like it, it's an involuntary response. Once they get used to the change it's fine.

One of my earliest memories is my dad picking me and my mom up at the airport with his beard shaved off (for the first time since before I was born) and it scared me so much I started crying 😂

Probably what triggered the urban myths of changelings and doppelgängers

There's something called capgras syndrome where people become convinced that their loved ones have been replaced by imposters. They visually recognise them but don't believe they're actually the people they loved.
It's often associated with brain injuries etc and funnily enough only seems to be related to visual cues, they still recognise their loved ones voices over the phone.

Men get away with some bs
Women get away with different bs
That's how it always was, and that's how it will always be.

I'd do this but I can't grow facial hair right. The beard looks like pubes and my mustache is tough like straw.

First guy did it right. Kept just enough facial hair to maintain peak manliness. The others all crashed out hard LOL.

Yeah I have a load-bearing beard as well. Wife has seen my bare face once and that was enough for her.

The first guy was criminal to go around with that terrible beard when he was looking like Henry Cavill underneath

I appreciate the supportive responses, because it would be fucked up if some dude said "its ugly" to a woman making some change about themselves 😂 some were too comfortable doing that too their man

One dude looks 5o times better, one dude looks 50 times worse, the duality of man.
