I like a short, trimmed beard; can't stand long unruly ones a la ZZ Topp.

I am also not wild about weird hair formations except in small doses; seemed like every guy and his brother had to have a goatee in the late 90s...and now college boys doing all this weird experimenting with shaved heads and full beards, mutton chops, Abe Lincoln mustacheless beards, etc,

Also having grown up in an Italian family I don;t find the mustache only look all that attractive.

But a short beard in the Roman style, yes indeed, that often is very flattering on men...not to mention whiskers feel sexy.
