> have a significant growth of facial hair

Hmm.  Mountain man fetish

Seriously, though: wouldn't this be the definitive criteria to nuke the GFE? - no shave: no kiss, no DATY.  Seems like such an obvious thing that there are days when I've not shaved that the only reason I don't end up going seeing anyone is "darn, forgot to shave".  Never mind an appointment booked days in advance.

You're a trooper!!  

Or maybe they just still think Crockett from Miami Vice is cool...  Wait, that was from way before you were born...

silly him, and lucky you.

he never made it to the cookie!

Goatees?

I've had a very neatly trimmed goatee for over a decade. I use a trimmer set to 1 (closest setting) every 2 or 3 days. Never had an issue with a provider not wanting to kiss me, but then again how would I know what pain or irritation she'd be enduring later, since I'm not there. That being said, I'm sorry to hear about your experience, thank you for bringing the issue to light, and hope you feel better soon.

trim your pubes. Don't want a poke in the eye
