5. Get that 5 o’clock shadow
That beard craze that’s going around? Not that many girls are actually into it. There have actually been quite a few studies on the matter that have concluded a few different things. A study in the Oxford Journal concluded men with bearded faces are simply seen as less attractive than men with smooth faces. It also determined that men with beards are seen as more aggressive and of a higher socio-economic status, but not more attractive.
Another study was conducted in Australia and showed that women prefer men with heavy stubble than those with beards or completely smooth faces. They confirmed that beards affect perception and that a middle of the road stubble is the way to go. Although men with full beards are viewed as better potential fathers and more likely to protect their children.
