    Study: Men with beards are more attractive

    I've been doing the stubble thing for years now. I go over my face with my electric razor set at 1 and then let it grow out for a month before shaving it again. I gave up on the clean shaven look, it's too much work and you have stubble at the end of the day anyways, unless you shave more than once a day.





    https://fox8.com/2018/11/14/study-me...re-attractive/

    A new study shows men who have full beards are more attractive than men who are clean-shaven.

    The study was published in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology.

    Researched asked more than 8,500 women to rate men on their attractiveness as a long-term romantic partner, Yahoo News reported.

    Here’s how the facial hair rated:

    Heavy stubble (10 days)
    Full beards
    Light stubble
    Clean-shaven
    “Beards may be more attractive to women when considering long‐term than short‐term relationships as they indicate a male’s ability to successfully compete socially with other males for resources,” the study concluded.

    Beards, the researchers said, are associated with a man’s age and masculine social dominance.
    .

    My girlfriend thinks otherwise, and so do most of the females I interact with. But I guess attractiveness is subjective, and probably stratifies by income, education, and local culture.

    Huh. Then I'm lucky because my girlfriend really dislikes beards.

    Also, the study says "Men who have full beards are seen as more attractive than men who have just a light stubble". It's not that bearded mens are regarded as more attractive than all the others - they are being compared with people with that light stubble. Then yes, the beard will usually be more attractive. Light stubble is not a beard, is not a clean face - it's nothing!

    I think most East Asians would agree with you. And, you can see it in the divergence of traits.

    Same study probably thinks bald men are sexy. Is it? Depends on the person. I don't know about women but as a man I know not all men are attracted to the same thing. What I like you may not, and what you like I may not. Better to be yourself and find someone who accepts you for what you are entirely. Besides, beards are itchy.

    Unfortunately some men can't grow a beard. I'd suggest to them cutting off their pubes and pasting it on their chin.

    ...

    Yeah I really have nothing else to contribute, this is really subjective, and I can grow a beard. Ironically it's no shave November at my job to support the fight against prostate cancer and I have a 2 week beard going that's already starting to bother me but I never thought it was special. In fact having to shave every week really irritates the skin and I can only get away with stubble so long at the bank, except in November of course.

    Totally confirm. I get a lot of compliments and advances based on my beard alone. Ladies, guys I pass biking past the bear bar, and now furries.

    Men with beards and women who like beards think beards are sexy. News at 11.

    In a new study, men with beards are more attractive than those without.

    People find sexual characters of the opposite (or same) sex attractive. Weird. Wonder if people find boobs sexy?

    /s

    The way these articles are written, at least in the headlines and opening, makes it seems that you must have the topic characteristic to be deemed desirable...and then people wonder why society has so many weird hangups.

    I just wonder what's the point and how does it correlate?

    Well, I've not had negative reactions to having a beard. Besides, it makes people smile.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    Bottom side of the head must be clean shaven, top side should not..
    Sadly, a lot of young men seem to confuse the two and shave the top and let the bottom grow..

    Beard ugly and so is a bald head!

    What if you wore money as a beard? You'd be the most attractive.

    This is one of the dumbest things I've read.
