Should I tell him I think he looks better clean-shaven or at least with his beard trimmed?

This might be a terribly shallow/silly question.. but Im starting to get involved with this guy.. who has a beard. I love beards, dont get me wrong, but I think he is so much more attractive when he had a tiny beard versus the mountain man beard it is becoming.

Im off at college while he is home so I wont see him for a while but when I come home and things get more serious, is it okay to ask him to trim it or something? I know he really loves beards and I mean it is him and not me, so is this something Im just going to have to put up with? His bone structure is excellent and it just covers it up.. He looks so much better without it.

Illithid agony auntAsk him to trim. Each partner has an obligation to be tidy for his or her partner. You're not asking him to totally change, just clean up a bit. You aren't asking him to shave, just cut it shorter. He should be alright with that. If he won't trim, then refuse to trim areas on yourself that he likes you to take care of!

I have facial hair and won't cut it all off for a girl (I did that once... not happening again), but I'd certainly be receptive to a tweak like, "hey hon, think you could cut it a little shorter? It's so bushy lately."

Cielito agony aunttell him what you just wrote, his bone strucutre is great why hide it. he will probably like the idea of you thinknig about him and caring what he looks like if you are into a more serious relationship. maybe give him the space in the way you say it to choose what he would like.

I don't think, it is ok to ask him to trim it. Think of it this way, how would you feel if he asked you to cut your hair a certain way, because 'he' thought it would suit you better?
