hen it comes to love, as the song says, birds, bees, even educated fleas do it.
But that old, catchy Cole Porter tune certainly didn't consider the impact of fleas -- educated or not -- and other creepy hair crawlers on a woman's ability to love a man with a beard.
According to a new study, if a woman runs screaming from hair-dwelling creatures such as lice, ticks, fleas and the like, she's likely to find men with beards much less attractive.
It's on an unconscious level, of course. But from the viewpoint of her inner animal brain, who wants to pucker up to a mouth fringed by a thicket of hair that might contain tiny, squirmy, maggot-like creatures?

Then, as you say, there's today's beard. Lots of guys need to be clued in "that looks AWFUL. You simply can't grow a beard."
As I type this, I'm wearing a Grunt Style hoodie that fits comfortably. my hair's pretty short, I haven't shaved for a couple of days but I will before I go to work tonight. NO tattoos.
Personally I think close cropped beards look good on the younger men. Older guys with grey maybe not so much. I grow weekend or a few days scruff in winter then shave it off. Beards in hot weather nope. Seems some women like beards and others do not. Personal preferences.
Ha, I “tried” growing a beard twice, years apart while injured and unable to easily shave, and long enough for it to grow out a few inches.
It was thin, curly hair, that seemed to need to be combed all the time and looked silly, especially with the two bald patches where dimples would be if I had them.
Most of the male Hallmark main characters seem to have the 7 pm shadow thing going, mostly with makeup.
Having said that, my beloved Mr. Inspectorette never grew a beard, but he did have a very dashing 'stache.
Chicks dig me

That’s a beard that a man wears. The homos thin theirs and keep it perfectly trimmed and manicured.
My husband was clean shaven when I met him. He’s tried it all. Clean shaven, full beard, mustache with goatee; did not matter. He still looks wonderful to me.
But if asked for my preferred look, clean shaven is the best. Why hide such a handsome face behind a mop of hair?
Your wife is probably like me. She loves your face and wants to see all of it.
Some men look better with beards. It gives their face definition, fills it out, squares it off, etc. Some look odd.
As long as it is neat and clean, beards are cool. I hate the rangy looking bushes or the stringy little chin pubes. Tidy it up or shave it off.
I cannot understand it. This is UGLY. How can women go for THIS?
“Scruff OK Moses beard not OK.”
Hey!
Me too.
I’m with your wife! Beards are cootie garages.
Uhm, Sandee, how are we supposed to take you seriously when you don’t know the difference between SUBconcious and UNconscious.
Then there’s the 2nd grade spelling of your name, but that’s likely not your fault.
Oh, right, This is CNN!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha serious news hahahahahahahaha
“If I were to be held upside down up to the bridge of my nose in a vat of water for several minutes every day for a couple weeks, wouldnt they all drown?”
I don’t think they’d succumb that easily. Burning gasoline might do the trick, at least temporarily. (Don’t actually try that, please.)
i like facial hair on a man, as long as it’s maintained.
