I donāt think there is too much difference between Taiwanese and western women on this one. Some like it, some donāt. My girlfriend likes it, but no too long.
1-3 weeksā worth of growth. I donāt have anything to trim it though so I just shave it off when it gets scruffy. My girlfriend really likes it, even asking me to have a beard for CNY so that she could show me off to her sisters.
Canāt say for sure whether or not Taiwanese ādigā facial hair, but I can say that I get cut off in traffic far less since having a shaggy full beard. Fear of beard perhaps? Either that or I look a bit like an unstable homeless man.
Sorry to hear that , lets just say they werenāt in the same coolness category. Mr Blobby didnāt do it for me.
Edit- that was Noel Edmondsā¦they are all the same to me.
My experience, people give you no end of trouble for having facial hair. I even had my old work try to fire my by reducing my hours over this because a parent complained that I ālooked scaryā even though I was originally hired at that company with a beard.
For women, they always used to say in public that they hate it, but in private they love it.
Iāve been with my girlfriend for a few years now and itās the same thing. She will complain about the beard but likes to pet and stroke it all the time and cried when I shaved it off once. Her family always complain about my beard which is super annoying.
I donāt know how/why it got like this. Used to be that beards were a symbol of wisdom in Chinese culture
No one in Taiwan comments on my beard. But then Iām over six foot tall and weigh about 250 pounds, with big shoulders and a thick neck. And scars on my knuckles. And a bad attitude, and a mean look on my face.
And for some reason nobody comments on my facial hair!
I think most Taiwan do not like it or used to it, except maybe some envy if you have lots hair on top (Why do you have so much, what do I eat, ectā¦). I have hair everywhere, get comments on this. (Everywhere, on top or down under). I mostly shave everyday otherwise people notice and kids touch my face quite a lot on the sandpaper on my face. Like your GF, I also find my female friends in private will pet/touch my hair a lot, in public complain too much.
