Auxin Posted May 13, 2013 I found this report interesting. Study finds men most attractive with heavy-stubble(Medical Xpress)—A research team from the Evolution and Ecology Research Centre at the University of New South Wales has found that women find men most attractive when they have approximately ten days of beard growth. In their paper published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, the team describes how volunteers asked to look at pictures of men with various stages of beard growth, found men with ten days growth to be the most attractive and those with five days growth to be the least. To gain a better understanding of male attractiveness from the perspective of both men and women, the team enlisted the assistance of 351 women, 177 heterosexual men, and 10 other men to serve as models. Each of the models was photographed in four ways: fully shaven, with 5 days of beard growth (light stubble), with 10 days of beard growth (heavy stubble), and with a fully grown beard. The photographs were then shown to each of the male and female volunteers who were asked to rate the men in them according to degree of attractiveness. After analyzing the data and calculating scores, the researchers found that women found the men with the heavy stubble to be the most attractive—those with full beards or clean shaven faces tied for second and those with light stubble were deemed the least attractive. Men judged the men in the pictures with full beards to be as attractive as those with full stubble, while those who were clean shaven were less so, and those with light stubble the least attractive of all. As part of the study, the researchers also quizzed the female volunteers about their menstrual cycles and whether they were using oral contraceptives to see if it altered their perception of attractiveness of the men in the photographs—it didn't, though those that were ovulating at the time of the study did find men more masculine as more hair appeared on their face.The researchers can't explain why people find men with heavy stubble more attractive, though they suggest it's likely tied to contributing to a mature and masculine image. Interestingly, they found that the volunteers all found men with full beards to be more aggressive-looking, but likely better at parenting than men with less facial hair. They also suggested that light stubble might be the least attractive because of its patchy nature Click [Link] for a picture guide for being a sexy hairy man. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted May 13, 2013 'The researchers can't explain why people find men with heavy stubble more attractive' It probably stems from the cave man days... The more masculine a cave man, the better hunter/provider he would be ?! I like the look of stubble, but that shit is like coarse sand paper hey. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted May 13, 2013 My guess was it stems from before the invention of the razor. Before males can grow facial hair their ability to be a effective co-providor for a family would be low. Twelve year olds tend to be too small, too weak, and not experienced enough. Moderate but well defined facial hair would aim more toward a youthfully vigorous but fully matured specimen. Lots of facial hair would indicate fewer highly productive years remaining ahead of him and a likelihood that hes already sired offspring that need rearing. Sort of like how straight men tend to be more attracted to mature-shaped female hips because they indicate that the female is of breedable age. Now that I think about it, when I look at other guys it also tends to be the ones with more feminine asses that I wouldnt mind... breeding 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitewind Posted May 14, 2013 It would be interesting to know if gay men found the same things attractive or whether there are more mixed responses. Also, is the response different over age groups over time ie how much cultural response is there to this? I mean, I imagine in Islamic communities clean shaven men are seen as boys and stubble (what a sexy word that - say it out loud in a sexy voice) is for adolescents?

Auxin Posted May 15, 2013 Well there probably are practical considerations that alter the statistics of the thing. Like did those particular women want to put your face where sand paper would not be welcome? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

planthelper Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) i find my beards are getting itchy as well, after a while, and for this reason, i shave it all off again, after various periodes of time, however a 5 day stubble, i don't find itchy at all. long and full beards i find the most itching, those ones where one has to stop eating soup, or be willing to have the soup running out of your beard, up to 15min after eating... i often shave only once a week or so, just because i am lazy, but now you gave me a good reason for doing so, hehehe. one can also use the stubble beard to get her to do a Brazilian, like if you don't shave, why should i?
