[Solved] Am I a bearded woman?

Define slightly hairy face.

Do people enquire if you are taking part in Movember ? 😮

Oh haha.

I just have a soft light blonde layer of hair on my face. More noticeable above my top lip when the light catches it.
I know some of my friends shave areas of their face, some wax and some get it threaded but I never considered it an issue until recently.

I just have to know whether or not it will prove to be a problem when getting back on the dating scene? Is a hairy face a deal breaker?

Lady,

Welcome to DAD.

You know what - all women have hair on their face. I would imagine, from how you have described it that it is not obvious and only you are really aware of it (ignore ms beautician).

Only you really know if you need electrolysis (I would guess the answer would be no).

I can't imagine how this would cause any issues with your future relationships unless you allow it to.

Thanks Gooner.

I appreciate the reassurance. I've just been up reading an article which says that eating large amounts of cake and biscuits can trigger excess hair!!!!!! Too many sugary snacks can create an insulin resistance and so the over production of insulin causes the ovaries to produce too much of the male hormone which is responsible for hair growth! This is tragic news.

I used to have a boyfriend who occasionally pulled on the longer hairs around my mouth which was quite irritating. Do you think I should be honest with a man on date 1 and let him know that it is a minor insecurity of mine?

Thanks again for the reply and the welcome.

Hi Lady,

We all have hair on our faces and its only the ladies with dark hair and complexions that have a problem. I have a soft fair down on my upper lip and on my cheeks that can only be seen very rarely in certain light. It's not noticeable and I'm sure if I was back on the dating scene it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to any prospective dates!

In my opinion the beautician only asked because its the trend these days. Once you start I think you would definitely regret it.

Men like their women to look natural I think and my advice would be to forget about it!

Frankly I find it arousing. Lady, just how bristly is this mustache?

I don't believe there are any bristles involved here....are you for real!

Well thanks Hair Lover (I guess ;;) )

But as Nanny said, no bristles here. It's just a light covering of hair over the "beardy" area of my face.

I just wondered whether this beard shaped downy covering might prove decremental in finding love.I think that if the right person came along and we really clicked it wouldn't matter. Or if they suggested I do something about it I think I would be comfortable to look into options of hair removal.

Thanks for the nice comments.

pmsl at that. 😀

Lady - it's only a problem if you think it is. I would certainly be honest to any boyfriend, but I can't see it should be something you need to worry about.
