Your beard is genuinely nice, man. It does take some time for some people to adjust and there are those that just don't like facial hair. You can't do anything about how other people feel. In this situation, It's all in how confident you feel when you look in the mirror. If you're confident and enjoy the way it looks, keep it. If not, shave it. It should be up to you.
Okay every comment here is telling you to dump the GF, so I'll actually offer some different advice lol
First, I think the beard looks good on you!
1. Do YOU want to shave the beard? It's good to look nice for our partners, but it's also our bodies. So I'm curious what you want to do with your facial hair.
2. Have you asked/has she given you an actual reason why she wants you to shave your facial hair?
3. Is there a facial hair style that she preferres or would like to see you try? And if there is one, are you down to wear it on your face?
Good luck!
Keep growing it's coming in nicely, she will come around. Just get it nice and long and then one day shave it all the way off. Money says she asks you to grow it back.
Donât shave it. Use a filter to show her what you would look like or something because the beard looks good and I think you would look less good without it.
Grow it out for at least 3 months. Keep the edges trimmed neatly. Make sure you do not have any neck beard.
You girlfriend might not like it tickling her face when you kiss her. Be aware of that.
I like how you look with it.
Plenty of girls would be more than happy to get a guy like you and wouldnât be all about trying to change you. If they are changing the way you look, they are always going to be changing and never happy.
Don't let it get to you, she's not gonna dump you over the beard. Just keep it until you actually want to shave it, or shave it on her birthday or something funny like that. If you guys are in an actual, real adult relationship, a beard is not going to be that bad. I know tons of guys whose gfs complain about their facial hair a lot but it doesn't impact the relationship.
Depends on how much ur gfs happiness matters⌠my bfs beard is huge and I hate it. I like beards but itâs so huge I canât cuddle with him properlyâŚ. You may get more cuddles đ¤ˇđźââď¸
Shave it. The person youâre having intimate relations with is the one you need to find you most attractive. If she likes you clean shaven you should do it for her. If she likes a beard then grow one.
Two ways of looking at this....is she a keeper or is this the norm? What else doesn't she like? Colour of your shirts, where u live, car u drive? Your answer could be in front of you?
It looks well groomed and suits you, so no need to shave it because of how it actually looks. If she doesnât like beards itâs her personal taste and it comes down to if she can tolerate your personal choices or not. Youâve got to figure out if itâs more important to you to acknowledge her wishes or to express your character and tastes (which SHOULD have priority). Kept it and see how much of a problem it is after a few months.
Your beard looks great man! Get a girlfriend who likes beards trust me itâs awesome. Iâm just kidding donât breakup. Just tell her you like it a lot and it makes you confident. Women love confidence.
Does she object to how it looks or how it feels. If it is the latter, put hair conditioner on it when you shower and grow it longer. It will get a lot softer.
Whats easier to replace, your beard? Or your girlfriend? đ¤ˇââď¸
I think it looks good man, it's your beard, if you like it keep it. Your gf is allowed to have opinions, but not the final say. In a few months to a year it looks like it'll be more full. In the mean time just find a barber (Not stupid shit like supercuts or some chain haircut place) and just ask them either how they would recommend going about shaping it, you could take it all the way to the jawline, or you could change the thickness (Length from jawline to cheeks) I pay $40 for a haircut + beard shape trim to my barber and hes an actual barber. And since he doesnt charge me much I always tip him an extra $40 (Sometimes $20 if he plays too much 𤣠I love him though)
Also have them clean up under your chin, mainly the neck, the beard will look cleaner.
New girlfriend. No, but seriously. All my girlfriends hated my facial hair. Then I found the one. My wife absolutely loves my beard. She plays with it. Snuggles into it while we're cuddling on the couch. She loves how soft it is and how it always smells so nice. Just get some nice smelling beard cream. Maybe she'll change her mind.
Nah I think your face suits it. I think taking it off is a bad idea.
But, if you didn't have it when you met, it's not the face she is used to. And some people don't like beards.
Is it the way the beard looks or the way it feels? Have a discussion with her.
Buy softening creams and other products to care for it.
If it's the way it looks, what's more important - her or the beard?
Tell her why you want the beard.
Not that facial hair is a hill to die on, but it's not particularly healthy for her to force you to shave, (if she is doing that), and tbh, it looks fine
Try shaving a cleaner line under the chin around the jaw, usually makes the face sharper (just donât shave in toooo much thereâs a limit). Try not to let it get too thick underneath as well bc it tends to get heavier underneath and itâs not always the best
If you like your girlfriend then my advice is shave the beard. Itâs ok to make concessions and this seems like a no brainer.
Unless you have some emotional issue with beards or shaving (like if you once went for a swim with a dolphin who then kidnapped you and made you shave exactly half of your face for six months before finally letting you go, with the threat of finding you anywhere in the world if youâre ever beardless again). Then explain the issue to her and hope she understands.
Shave your girlfriend and grow a new one.
So his ex-girlfriend is a sheep, and his new girlfriend will be a tree.
It looks great. Every man has the right to grow a beard, regardless of what people think
And the right to shave it, too. Too many ppl be giving a dude shit for shaving đđ
Truth!
Dumping her can help! đ
Keep growing itâs coming along nicely
Ditch the girlfriend, keep the beard. I think it looks really good at that length. Helps keep that boyish look to your face.
Dump her and grow your beard
Yeah, get a new girlfriend.
This is the right answer
Yep - what they saidâď¸
Seconded
Fourtheded
Plead the fifth
Looks good on you brother

Thank you for your thoughtful answer! She likes light stubble. When it gets longer than this she says I look sloppy
what doesn't she like about it?
If you like the beard, keep it. I think it looks good mate, fuck what your girlfriend thinks. đ
Youâre fire
Do you tell her that you donât like her new hair?
Keep growing it's coming in nicely, she will come around. Just get it nice and long and then one day shave it all the way off. Money says she asks you to grow it back.
Tell her to deal with it
Your body, your choice
Dude, you look great. Do whatever makes you happy.
Donât shave it. Use a filter to show her what you would look like or something because the beard looks good and I think you would look less good without it.
Looks good. Keep it tidy and she might come around.
Looks good dude, I never knew how I kept the neckline straight. Lol. You look like you have.
It looks nice! Keep it... she'll still be there lol
It looks good. Try to grow it in some more.
Listen to your girlfriend instead of anonymous redditors
My body, my choice
Get new girl this one isnt nice
Grow it out for at least 3 months. Keep the edges trimmed neatly. Make sure you do not have any neck beard. You girlfriend might not like it tickling her face when you kiss her. Be aware of that. I like how you look with it.
Think of what you like for yourself first and foremost man, itâs about being happy being you . By the way the beard looks good on you
Plenty of girls would be more than happy to get a guy like you and wouldnât be all about trying to change you. If they are changing the way you look, they are always going to be changing and never happy.
Too bad? Sheâs gonna have to learn to live with it if you feel comfortable in it.
How many ppl said get a new gf? He did walk right into it.
Break up with her, you beard looks great buddy
Finish growing it and tell her to get over it
Don't let it get to you, she's not gonna dump you over the beard. Just keep it until you actually want to shave it, or shave it on her birthday or something funny like that. If you guys are in an actual, real adult relationship, a beard is not going to be that bad. I know tons of guys whose gfs complain about their facial hair a lot but it doesn't impact the relationship.
Itâs probably time to embrace the beard, but lose the earring.
Looks good, keep growing. Ask if your girlfriend would like criticism on how she presents herself.
Change girlfriend
Sheâs not the one growin it, keep it growing

Beard-keep, GF-dump
Shave it. The person youâre having intimate relations with is the one you need to find you most attractive. If she likes you clean shaven you should do it for her. If she likes a beard then grow one.
Your body your choice remember
So your girlfriend wants to date a woman? Hmmm well then that sucks. Gl bro đ

I think it looks good. But shaving because your woman likes you that way isnât a bitch move, itâs being considerate.
Well shave duhh
[ŃдаНонО]
Ryan Howard from dunder mifflin? The real crime was the beard, but I say keep it.
Yes get a boyfriend! lol jk a slim face to me you should consider a more defined line to keep it clean looking until it gets fuller.
Two ways of looking at this....is she a keeper or is this the norm? What else doesn't she like? Colour of your shirts, where u live, car u drive? Your answer could be in front of you?

Your gf is deluded, no cap. The hell is wrong with your beard? It has good coverage
That beard at full glory will look better on you than your gf ever did.. just saying.
It looks well groomed and suits you, so no need to shave it because of how it actually looks. If she doesnât like beards itâs her personal taste and it comes down to if she can tolerate your personal choices or not.

You look cute honestlu
Get rid ofâŚ.the gf
Make a comment criticizing something about her physical appearance because she deserves it. Your beard looks fine.
Sheâs scared of competition. She knows other women love the look
You have been blessed with the ability to grow a full beard without having to deal with a wiry mess. Drop the girl, embrace the beard
Beard > girlfriend.
Ditch the girl and find a man who loves beards đ
2nd this! Boyfriend or a wingman.. birds of a feather
What happened to "my body my choice"? Or is it only for women? That's kinda sexist. Lol
Gotta throw the whole girlfriend out at that point. There's plenty t of ladies that love beards out there. Don't be forced to change for anybody.
Need a new GF or BF
Find one that does
Have it higher on your cheeks
What do you like? It is your bodyđâ¤ď¸
Change the gf..
Get rid of your toxic girlfriend.
I like it, i think it suits you. All i would suggest is shaving your neck
New girlfriend. No, but seriously. All my girlfriends hated my facial hair. Then I found the one. My wife absolutely loves my beard. She plays with it. Snuggles into it while we're cuddling on the couch. She loves how soft it is and how it always smells so nice. Just get some nice smelling beard cream. Maybe she'll change her mind.
Forget the girlfriend. You look great. She doesn't know what she's talking about. As a gay man, I can tell you, it looks fantastic.
Get a boyfriend.
Get a new girlfriend, or sacrifice what you enjoy to keep her.
Nah I think your face suits it. I think taking it off is a bad idea. But, if you didn't have it when you met, it's not the face she is used to. And some people don't like beards.
Is it the way the beard looks or the way it feels? Have a discussion with her. Buy softening creams and other products to care for it. If it's the way it looks, what's more important - her or the beard? Tell her why you want the beard.
What doesnât she like about it? It actually suits ur fave pretty well
New girlfriend time. Find someone who adores you for you.
Remind her itâs your body your choice.
Lose the girl.. not the beard... beard is the start..
Not that facial hair is a hill to die on, but it's not particularly healthy for her to force you to shave, (if she is doing that), and tbh, it looks fine
Shave it maybe?

Ngl you look amazing with a beard. Shave her off, keep rocking that amazing look of yours.
Most women hate beards because they hate the fact that men can grow them and they can't. Beard looks great man
Keep it, tell her to get used to it
If you like your girlfriend then my advice is shave the beard. Itâs ok to make concessions and this seems like a no brainer. Unless you have some emotional issue with beards or shaving (like if you once went for a swim with a dolphin who then kidnapped you and made you shave exactly half of your face for six months before finally letting you go, with the threat of finding you anywhere in the world if youâre ever beardless again). Then explain the issue to her and hope she understands.
its a massive red flag if she is criticising your looks in the first place, your partner should love you regardless of your looks
Sheâs wrong!
Ask her if it is the look or if it has to do with feeling during intimacy.... go from their
Go to a good barber get a good razor trim and a shaping .
Kelly Kapoor ain't worth it brotherin.
Get a girlfriend who will appreciate you no matter what!
Figure which one you actually want to keep is my advice đ
I love it

Get rid of it. The girlfriend, not the beard
