mortensorchid Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I have a certain friend these days. Things are otherwise good, but something recently has come up that has bothered me. He has grown facial hair, and it really bothers me. My skin is sensative (and get your minds out of the gutter, I do mean I am sensative!), and it burns me when he rubs up against it. How can I ask him to shave?
Star Gazer Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I've had this come up with more than one guy. I actually had an allergic reaction to one guy's face... so weird. I think most guys are aware of their facial hair's effect on delicate female skin. You have to make the suggestion that he shave in a way that he knows it will benefit HIM - that he'll get more kisses, cuddles, lovin' if the hair vanishes. In the past, I've just said something like, "I wish your face was smooth, I'd be able to kiss you ten times more than I do!" (in a cute voice, of course ). Hopefully some guys chime in to give you exact words to use.
Ronni_W Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I read this years ago in a 'Dear Abby' or some other column... Say something like, "Your beard makes you look so handsome (rugged, mature, whatever) that I really wish my skin wasn't so sensitive and didn't keep breaking out every time I get close to you." If he asks, "Do you want me to shave it off?" answer, "I don't no...but my skin will really appreciate it." And thank him when he does shave...his beard is something that he's giving up only for your comfort.

Sure we guys are aware of the sensitive skin problem but I sometimes get the feeling that women also use it as an excuse to make us men shave because they don't like the beard. In my case, it works best to just tell me that my facial hair irritates your sensible female skin. If that is the case, I will, reluctantly, oblige and shave. Personally, I don't like the "cute approach" but I can see how it would work on other men.
