We all have a type, but what is yours? One Redditor wants to know and is curious, so he asked: “Are you attracted to muscular men with beards?”
Naturally, the question received a lot of response. For instance, one reader quickly quipped, “Does the sun rise in the east?” There were other similar quick-witted replies like, “Do professional baseball players like playing baseball?” and “Does the sun turn hydrogen into helium?”
Meanwhile, other readers gave more elaborate responses and were even more specific with their answers. There were those who admitted that yes, they are (attracted to muscular men with beards), like this guy who replied: “I’m attracted to muscular guys with beards. Unfortunately, they are not attracted to me.” While another guy said, “Bearded guys with dad bods will do, I just have a thing for bearded guys, big or small.”
But there were also others who said otherwise such as this guy, for example, who answered, “Fuck no, why would I want to date someone who looks like me? This bear loves his femme bois, I don’t care if some give me shit for it.”
Here are some more responses: “Generally prefer bearded, although it’s not a deal-breaker. Muscles are also nice, but they’re further down on my list, as I tend to be a fan of all sorts of body types.” Further, another guy said, “Not at all. I like the stereotype ‘queer.’ Skinny, pretty, and with a bunch of flamboyant attitude. Cutest thing in the world for me.”
Anyway, is it just me, but whenever I hear the words, muscular men, with beards, Aquaman actor Jason Momoa comes to mind.
Having said all that, what about you, guys? What is your type of guy? Share with us your thoughts and stories in the comments section below!
What is the logical connection between “Muscular” and Beard”?
My brain cannot fathom their connection(s).
Cannot one can be “Muscular” and “Beardless”?
Cannot one can be “Muscular and Clean Shaven” ” and be a “Butch Queen” and cannot one can be a “Stringbean-On-Steroids” look like “Moses” or “Rasputin.”
I enjoy solving mysteries as I grew up playing “Clue.” But, specifically, in-this-case, I haven’t a “Clue”?
Bless your little heart, Kasper.
I will admit that my heart is a bit smaller than my meat!
i do appreciate your sentiment! You know the truth!
Hi Kasper,
There is no logical connection. Just like there is no logical connection between “well hung” and “smooth chest” or “hairy chest”. OR “shaved pubes” and “phat ass”. It is all aesthetics. What looks good and what looks hot. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Would you like a very real “no logical connection”? 63 years old and how good of a fuck he is.
So my opinion is some guys can rock a beard and some not so much.I don’t mind macking on a guy with a kept up beard or even the 5 o-clock shadow look.All is always acceptable. But the beard has to be neet. Just my opinion
I absolutely do find muscular guys with beards sexy. Dad bod guys with beards are sexy too. I like beards short and neatly trimmed. Not really into skinny guys unless they have a muscular built.
It’s “muscular build,” not “muscular built”. The word “built” is never a noun.
From Merriam-Webster,
Built- adjective
Definition of built: formed as to physique or bodily contour
// slimly built
well or attractively formed
Just saying. It’s not that serious Mr. Einstein. Lol.
Hey, EINSTEIN, look at how the word was used in the post. In the phrase “…unless they have a muscular built [sic],” the word BUILT isn’t an adjective. Muscular is. Muscular MODIFIES the noun, which is “built [sic]”. I didn’t say it couldn’t be an adjective. I said it couldn’t be a NOUN.
Learn how to fucking read.
Sir Einstein, you said a bad word!! Lol, lol. I ain’t playing with you no more. You’re a bad little boy. Lol
Couldn’t you have been a bit more original or creative?
Why didn’t you use a “Funk & Wagnalls” Dictionary, A – L & M – Z.
WTF!! A Grammar Nazi in an A4A forum. Why? They serve no logical purpose and there is absolutely no logical connection.
Yep! Beard and muscles works for me. But I like other men too. Depends on the guy.
NOT!!! Smooth, clean shaven, & short hair! 🙂
Ditto !
I’m attracted to men with masculine attributes. No particular requirements when comes to hair, muscles, abs, height, etc.
I like muscular guys, and I like bearded guys. I don’t see the connection between the two though. They are two different qualities in a guy that I find attractive. I am NOT into the long hair/man bun look though. So Jason Momoa would be a “NO” for me.
It depends…some of them they look good while others….not so much….I will say beauty is about a good attitude …rather than just the ” standard, traditional and conventional ” look
I like men. Hate the big beard look. which seems to be the thing these days. if I am totally honest, beards age a guy bout 10-15 years. in the gay community, hell in all communities really, the quest to look young is real. So why make yourself look older while your young?
Also I find it interesting how a lot of the guys date someone that looks like they are from the same family. thats creepy to me.
Two of my play buds are in their late 20s. They both have said they prefer mature guys. “Guys my age are selfish idiots. Older guys are more attentive, respectful and caring,” they both say
I think the “quest for youth” is more prevalent in trendy metro areas/large cities than it is in smaller cities and rural areas. I live in the latter. Older gay guys here, those over 50 and 60, even in their 80s, are having a boatload of fun sexing the hell out of each other.
yes beard are sexy . Muscular or not so muscular, dad bod or Bears. Facial hair is hot! Now if they drop their pants and they shave pubes . TURN OFF
as long as they are 8 inches or more, a stud can a grey alien. Or look like Santa. Draw the line at Madonna with a beard though
“Muscular + beard,” um, I’m bound to ‘notice him,’ that- that much about him, first-off, yeah.
About the actual face, though; mouth-type, teeth, lips, etc., this man’s face, yeah!
And then, weather they’re tall or short, “muscular w/beard,” yeah.
Anywhere from Ashe-black to Winter white, “muscular w/beard,” yeah. It all just depends.
Hotness comes from within, not your appearance. Emphasizing appearance encourages the superficiality that defines too much of gay “culture” and behavior, especially when it is all false. Let’s talk about real values.
Way to go A4A, continue to perpetuate gay stereotypes! Personalities mean nothing, all about looks!
No mention of trans men with tattoos?
Or do you count them as men at all?
Not at all…
Cum on a guys face with facial hair cum creams it
I agree with some of the other guys. I like a bunch of different body types. Don’t really care for the muscle time. Good jaw muscle is all I care about. lol Always love a good beard.
when their beard looks like a overgrown rats nest no!
Being located in southern Arizona in the Great southwest, I often think we only have two seasons here, warm and hot. Consequently since l work outside I do like to grow a beard out in the winter months. But in the summertime it’s just too damn hot here to have one. And the last few years Covid has been a big issue and the whole mask thing makes having a beard a TOTALLY – ROYAL pain in the ass. I don’t think whether I’m clean shaven or if I have a full beard that my masculinity changes with a swipe… Read more »
Not hot. I like men clean shaven & short hair.
