Is facial hair attractive?

[Kardan]

A recent study in Australia wanted to see how facial hair contributes to the attractiveness of a man, and they found that given a group of photos where facial hair was a rare occurrence, it was deemed to be more attractive than a clean shaven man. Likewise, when a clean shaven man was a rare occurrence in a group of photos, that was deemed to be more attractive than a man with a full beard.

Time, to find out what the forum thinks, which one of these 4 do you consider to be the most attractive?

And males of the forum, which one(s) would you classify yourself as?

Personally I like to stay around heavy stubble, not a fan of either extreme.

[Absently]

honestly i've no preference really, it all depends on the person. some people suit beards and some people suit being clean shaven!! for my bf i like him having a bit of heavy stubble mhmmm

[David]

i look better with a heavy stubble
been growing a thick goatee the past few weeks though, and got stubble around it atm

[Kyle]

It really depends on your face. I am clean shaven/light stubble, I think beards make people look old and trampy. Some beards are ok but people that grow neck beards and don't shave them jut give an impression that it's not a conscious fashion choice but down to laziness. Shave your damned necks

[Futz]

I think beards are coolies, unfortunately I grow facial hair like a 13 year old mexican boy

[j0rd]

wish i could grow a beard at all

[wixard]

CLEAN SHAVEN FOREVER


BEARDS ARE DISGUSTING

I CAN HANDLE LIGHT STUBBLE BUT THAT IS IT

[Drew]

Yeah it does depend on your face. I am always clean-shaven, can't really see myself with a heavy stubble or a full beard :P

[FlyingJesus]

Clean shaven or styled beard, not a fan of all over hair at all. Give it a shape to accentuate your facial features, don't just become a tramp

[karter]

heavy stubble yessss

[buttons]

dont like beards at all and i do find light/heavy stubble attractive but it annoys me when kissing n stuff
generally if i find someone attractive then they will still be attractive with/without stubble and if i find them unattractive shaving/growing it out isn't going to make them more attractive.

[Matthew]

I am a light stubble kind of guy

[Jurv]

i'm clean shaven but only because im incapable of growing anything but bumfluff

i like beards though they look cool on the right person

[iBlueBox]

I prefer full beard.

Though I did get a shave the other to a heavy stubble and to shape it so when it grows long by summer it'll have more a shape.

[wixard]

men grow beards for other guys
and i hate it

[scottish]

m8!?

and I'm usually clean shaven if i cba shaving then light I guess.

[Derrener]

i hate facial hair eurgh

[e5]

Light stubble most definitely, i think blokes look better like that and I prefer that look

[FlyingJesus]

I'm usually dead against it and I almost never think it makes someone more sexually attractive but I have thought long and hard about it and some people just need it just for their identity I mean LOOK (http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-famous-mustache-guys-without-their-mustaches.php) especially at Tom Selleck who even is he without the lipbrow

Still a no for attraction really in nearly all cases for me though

[Martin]

Clean shaven :P

[Zelda]

i generally stay around the light stubble region but whenever i can be bothered i will shave to make sure i'm clean shaven though, but i just don't really like the feeling of it. problem is you can't really see a lot of my stubble other than from under my face where it's visible a lot so doesn't look very good, so i tend to prefer to be clean shaven

[Chris]

Light stubble is my favourite. Don't like full beard at all.

[karter]

clean shaven is the grossest look ever

[Derrener]

oh but i also agree that a light stubble, some people do need it for their identity

[Mark]

Light stubble, it's such a hassle to shave so usually only do it every few days.

[God]

Clean Shaven or minimal stubble.

[Yawn]

clean shaven or light stubble

depends rly. if u can pull off stubble then that is SO HOT but if u cant then u cant and u should remain clean shaven.
dont rly have a preference tbh tho cos it varies so much. both r gd when they r gd

I don't think anything besides clean shaven or VERY light stubble suits me well at all. It really does depends on the person. I know some people with facial hair that just look horrific and then there are some people who just look really good with it.

I think the first three pictures are attractive.

[-:Undertaker:-]

Heavy stubble..... I have that and I like it on others too.

[FlyingJesus]

Mr Gammon you have more than just heavy stubble

[Rachel]

My fiancé has a light stubble but I do like clean shaven on my fiancé when we go to fancy places.

[Mikey]

For me clean shaven/light stubble but if I had to choose then clean shaven all the time haha. Don't suit facial hair.

[-:Undertaker:-]

Mr Gammon you have more than just heavy stubble

I don't think it's that heavy? :P Sure it's dark but...

I usually just go over it to keep it a certain length once it starts sticking out in places.

[Matt]

Somewhere between light & heavy stubble. Clean shaven makes him look 15 and the full beard makes him look 30

[Brad]

I'm in between heavy stubble and full beard

[Drunq]

I personally have no prefrence but anything like a santas beard is no just no!

Light stubble, I need it otherwise I look like a 10 year old.

[Samantha]

I agree, for me it depends on the person, but I don't mind either way. I do like a bit if stubble though.

[Red]

prefer clean shaven but some can pull of light stubble

[Sian]

no, i really dont like it at all.

[Alkaz]

No real preference really but I do like a light stubble :]

[geo]

if it's pubey then it's a definite no from me

clean shaven is nice! some guys look ok with a little bit, nothing more

[Eric]

heavy stubble or full beard

wish i could grow one srsly

[wiktoria]

clean shaven
beards make me feel ill i feel sick thinking about beards

[Mr-Trainor]

I shave every other day usually, so clean shaven or light stubble :P. Depends on what suits the person though / personal preference.

[Sharon]

clean shaven or light stubble for my man

[Sho]

Clean shaven/light stubble :P.

[goldenRAINBOWxo]

It just depends on the person because someone could look better with a beard than clean-shaven so it really does depend (:

[Shar]

It's different for every guy but I do like heavy stubble on some

[ilovehabbs]

Depends on the sex of the person.

[LiquidLuck.]

It all depends on the person, really. In this case without a beard the guy's nose looks really long, with a heavy stubble, it has just the right amount of facial hair for it to be less noticed but still not look like a hobo.

[Liam]

I'm only clean shaven because I have to be for my particular job. But before this job I would stick with a medium length stubble full time.

It depends on the person, most of the time I'd say clean shaven because it's nicer to kiss, but sometimes stubble makes 'em look really hot. From the pics, I'd be most attracted to #2 but I think it's because he looks really baby-faced without it :P

[Shoed]

not everyone suits facial hair, depends on the person i guess....

[-Moniquee.]

light stubble is pretty attractive- doesn't suit everyone though.

Full beards are so gross omg.

[Becca]

full beard 100%

[RyRy]

I'd say I've got heavy stubble by those images.

Used to be clean shaven but I look an absolute child without facial hair, I look a lot older and I love it.

[ARTPOP]

it depends on the person i think

[today]

This.

I would prefer clean shaven. Having moustache and a bit of beard makes me look old. :P Though i did keep em for awhile before shaving em all off.
