Not my wife, she hates the scratching.
My wife likes the look and the feel of the stubble rubbing against her back in bed.
My Wife like a couple days growth of stubble on me . I only shave every 2 or 3 days.
My wife likes the look of stubble, but not the feel. Feel wins out for the both of us!
When you are over 65, you have to be careful that "rugged" doesn't become "seedy".
SWMBO has turned.. She use to love my stubble, but since discovering the smoothness from a DE shave she loves a clean shaved face!
True.
I guess the three-day stubble is an accepted style, but I regard it as 'shabby chic'. Most of these guys with the highly styled (that is, 'messed up') hair and several days stubble begin to look like a damned vagrant. <shrug>

...I also beleive clean hands and smooth, trimmed fingernail are especially appreciated.
I find few things less appealing than carefully cultivated sloppiness.
