    Default Should I grow a beard?

    Or has that ship sailed? I'm not talking about a Harden or Napoli style chin nest, just a regular ole beard. I had a goatee back in the late 90s that had a good run but never sported a true beard.

    What's the word on the ISH street?

    My wife and I had a big debate about facial hair...here is a fact: WOMEN HATE IT

    My wife's mother is a writer, she writes romance novels (aka porn for women) and it was pointed out to me that the one thing that has NEVER been seen in a romance novel is a man with a beard, because the truth is, it is a major turn off for women...and that is just about ALL woman...have you ever heard a woman say "oh what a sexy beard"?


    THAT BEING SAID...you're married with kid(s)...not single a dating...so fck it!!!

    goatees are weak sauce. Do it if you want to. It will definitely make you look more manly if you can grow a good (i.e. not a lame redsox hotmess) beard. As I recall, you have a weak chin? Helps with that as well.

    [QUOTE]Last spring, the scientific community dealt a devastating blow to bearded men and the women who love them. After assessing the facial hair preferences of 227 women, University of New South Wales researchers Barnaby Dixson and Robert Brooks released a study suggesting that straight women deem men more attractive when they are beardless. As The Daily Mail put it: [B]

    another study:

    Men, you have a simple choice: If you want respect from other men, grow a beard. Aiming to attract a woman? Shave it off.

    A study reported in Behavioral Ecology used pictures of men from New Zealand and Samoa in normal poses and making angry faces, both with full beards (over six weeks of growth with no trimming) and sans facial hair, to determine how the men were perceived. Researchers showed the before and after photos to 200 women, and asked the women to rate the men’s attractiveness. It didn’t matter the country — the women found the clean-shaven men significantly more attractive.

    I've never heard any woman refer to facial hair as "hot"

    I have facial hair myself...so I'm not biased


    my wife makes a good point...romance novels are "porn for women" and the fact that there isn't a single romance novel out there that contains a bearded man says something on this issue

    woman may say to their mate "oh I love your beard honey"...that means nothing...wives with bald husbands probably tell them they love their bald head too...that is just the equivilent of a man saying "naw you don't look fat in that dress" when they do lol
