Why Are Men With Beards More Attractive?

Are men with beards more attractive to women? For years, men have been staring into the mirror, razors in their hands, wondering whether or not men with facial hair are really more attractive to women. If so, is there a particular type of facial hair that women find especially desirable? Should you be trimming your hair or keeping it long? Is it better to have a beard that’s patchy and uneven or no beard at all? Oftentimes, facial hair preferences fluctuate with the rise and fall of different cultural trends. Certain styles, like mustaches in the 1970s and goatees in the 1990s, were represented by dozens of celebrities and considered irresistible by countless people. In more recent years, full-faced beards and short stubble have become popular styles for men of all ages, but no matter how often these styles shift, one thing remains the same: men with facial hair tend to be more attractive than those without. Think about some well-known masculine figures throughout history. Look at the faces of kings, emperors, cultural icons, rock stars, athletes, and even fictional deities like the Ancient Greek god Zeus. Many of them have fully grown beards, demonstrating power, success, confidence, and virility. The sheer volume of attractive bearded men in our pantheon of cultural heroes is evidence of a longstanding relationship between facial hair and attractive masculinity. The years may come and go, but men with facial hair never go out of style.
