My WH had a Clark Gable mustache when we were dating and got married, and while it was quite dashing, I never liked how it felt against my skin. Ditto for subsequent beards, goatees, etc. I usually prefer a clean-shaven face.
My apologies to any guys with goatees! It's just such a cliche affectation for WH's to suddenly start sporting one in the midst of an affair. A neon sign would be more subtle. I keep thinking "What - are they trying to go incognito or something? (like Clark Kent with his glasses?)"
