Pluralist: Do women prefer men with beards? Yes, according to one new study.
The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Queensland, was published Tuesday in the Royal Society Open Science journal.
Researchers asked 1,000 American women to rate the attractiveness of men based on their photographs.
The women were shown photographs of the same men with different looks.
In some photographs, the men were sporting beards. In others, the same men were clean-shaven.
Finally, the women were shown images which had been altered to make the men look more “masculine” or “feminine.”
Researchers found that most women rated men with beards as more attractive.
Men deemed the most attractive had the most typically masculine features — full beards, strong jaws and wide cheekbones. keep reading
So if you’ve grown tired of the women crawling all over you, try to look more feminine.
Fact check: TRUE
I like masculine men, but the beards no so much.
Too bad so many of the “lumberjack” looking males are metro-sexual pajama boys.
That’s it. I’m going to grow a beard to hide my ugly mug.

Those of us who live in close proximity to Seattle & Portland refer to them as lumberjerks.
It has been strong in the homosexual community for decades, became all the rage among progs about ten years ago. FWIW, cuckolding is also something that Seattle/Portland progs are very much into, so it is not necessarily “masculinity” they were looking for.
@JD — I coined the term “Sissyjack”. You could always tell the newbies from CA back in the ’90s. They were the ones dressed, head to toe, in Eddie Bauer plaid and Tanner work boots.
I thought they were called lumbersexuals.
The terrorist look is all the rage. Women want some jihadi lovin.
Beards. Yeah…

His beard is full of

FYI ladies…
Taking bets here on who grows a beard first: Warren or Sanders. Gotta get them undecided women votes!!
It’s true!
Oh, it’s so true… 😉

It seemed to reach it’s zenith when they were filming Twin Peaks up in Roslyn. Good Lord, I would go to meetings in Seattle in which people were showing up decked out like they were on their way to scale the Matterhorn. Progs know not the meaning of shame and human dignity is a concept that is totally foreign to them.
The progchicks are just more of the same fickle females chasing the latest fashion trend, the male prog is just more of the same from guys looking to get laid.
A friend who sold men’s suits at Seattle Nordstrom from the 1970’s -> ~ 2009 put it best when he said: Once the moment is gone and those fashion fads evaporate they may as well have been wearing a rubber nose and big red shoes. They have no personal sense of what style, class and dignity are all about, so they chase the ephemeral and are easy targets of fashion hucksters and charlatans. There have been those who are totally invested in being at the forefront of the hip and now, but that is a fool’s errand.
I always wondered why Gabby Hayes had so many women hanging around him in those old Westerns. The young whippersnappers didn’t stand a chance.

He likes to press wild flowers
He puts on women’s clothing and hangs around in bars …”

I don’t know about the beard part. Some of the most masculine men I can think of didn’t have beards.
Masculine men yes. Beards no thanks. Food catchers. Not my thing. Plus how many of these pathetic pajama skinny jean man bun guys have facial hair they’d call beards. No thanks.
BULLSHIT! I’ve had a beard since the early 70’s so I know that study is bogus! 🙂
My boyfriend’s’ hated my beard. Said it irritated their thighs.
I tried it but everybody thought I had a hairy ass!
I used to like a little foliage; not a full beard, but just some scruff. But, now, with all the soyboys playing lumberjack, I lean toward a fresh clean face. That way, the true toxic masculinity can show through! A real man is so … *blush*, never mind!
In my workplace, you are discriminated against for your age so I try not to advertise that I have any more gray hair than I already do.
NO WAE! All the lesbians in charge of “equality” say that women love the look of women! Even if those women were born disfigured. With a penis.
Michelle Obama will be letting his grow soon, he’s the only one of the two who can.
