Do you find the clean-shaven, stubble, or beard look more attractive on men?

I think a WELL-KEPT, SHORT beard is super sexy.
That being said, I usually go for stubble myself because I'm fucking lazy. Hit everything with the electric razor, and then foil for the neck and cheeks. Takes two minutes and I can wear it for a few days before I have to do anything with it.
I'm married though so I guess it's easier for me.

I usually have a well maintained low cut beard. Like max few mm's. I notice that's what women liked the most for me. My wife actually gets mad when I shave it off.
I have a bad excuse of a beard on my face but only because I suffer from a horrible case of chubby boy-faced man syndrome. Don't even have real stubble yet at damn near 26 :(
I'd go clean shaven if I had the jaw for it but whenever I trim it I'm flooded with feelings of instant regret.

Depends on the man. But beards are somewhat silly these days imo. I mean... just look around. EVerybody trying to get that Jesus-charisma. Kinda embarrassing if i'm honest. But some wear it really well. Impressive even.
Yeah i'm 46 now and i'm finally getting some shape in my round fucking boy-face. If i don't have a stubble i'm basically a meat-orange, since i'm bald as well.
It depends on the guy, his face and hair. No look works for everyone, obviously. The beard trend nowadays is kind of silly, so many men are growing beards and on some it just doesn't look good. A friend of mine has a wide jaw and insists on keeping a beard, it looks awful as it makes his jaw look even wider.
It really just depends on how attractive the guy is. If he's hot and can grow a nice full beard, then he'll look great with it or without it.
A riddle for the ages.
Yeah I have no preference, it depends on what just suits your face and it's kinda fickle I guess. Like fringe vs no fringe.
You just have to find YOUR LOOK.

I grew a beard after being clean shaven for years, and now every so often, I ask if I should shave my beard off.
Guys say "Oh god, never shave off that beard. It's awesome."
Women are divided. Here in Japan, most Japanese women say I should shave it, but it seems like a regional thing. Most foreign ladies would rather I keep it.

There's a peak moment in a man's facial hair where it maintains stubble appearance but is long enough to get soft and less sand-papery. I contend that this is objectively the best from an anesthetic and a sensation standpoint. I like the feeling of a bit of scruff on my husband's chin but I don't like rug burn. There exists a happy median.
I haven't been clean shaven since 2014, and sure as hell planning to keep it that way.
My beard is not thick/dense enough to give that cool stubble look, so I go with a short beard look most times.
I want to try a beardstache, so I haven't trimmed it in a month & half by now. Actually starting to like this look maybe I'll try to break my personal beard record.
Me & all my friends have facial hair to some degree, really seems like clean shaven nowadays is a rarity if you're under 35-40.

I've gotten way more compliments since going from short beard to big beard. But almost all from men. Would crush if I was into dudes.
I compliment dudes when they grow their beard out. I like beards. Maybe it's a guy thing to be impressed by beards
Stubble for me. I have a Phillips beard strimmer which I can adjust down to 0.5mm shave so it keeps me in a good all over stubble look. I can't really grow a beard, is just stringy spread out pubes after a week... and clean shaven I look comically young, plus have a bit of a double chin so the stubble kind of hides it in a way.
Thanks for the feedback guys. For frame of reference, the most facial hair I grow would be akin to John Cho:
Yay or nay?
John going for that "I may not be your real daddy, but I love you and your mother very much" look.

I feel I'm my best self with my beard. It's not overly long, about half an inch, and well groomed with a shaved head. I had a goatee for a long time, and haven't been completely clean shaven since I was out of high school(I'm almost 30 now).
My girlfriend is the one who asked me if I could grow a beard and is the main reason I grew it(apparently the "Black lumberjack" look turns her on). I tried one the year before, but didn't really take care of it or knew what I was doing, so it just looked uneven and patchy.

If you can pull off a well formed beard, do so. If it's patchy or thin you'd look better without.
That said I only really find bears attractive so my opinion is admittedly biased.

I'm lightly bi at best, but when it comes to a masculine look - guys under 30 (maybe even under 35) with a clean shave just don't work for me. At least consistent stubble is kind if necessary (unless you're SUPER good looking), and a nice trim beard is best.
I personally like to keep my facial hair very short, but I get more complements when it's thicker (about 3/4" to 1") so I've settled there.

I've never once preferred a clean shaven guy over one with stubble or a beard. Doesn't even have to be styled well. It's all good with me
I've been growing my beard out and I've had way more people comment on that than anyone ever has before. I get compliments from men and women all the time about my beard.
...I'm desperately in need of a barber run at the moment because I like the length, but it's getting a bit unruly, so a little maintenance trim is due. Got an appointment tomorrow.
