    I don't understand why some guys think all women prefer beards. I don't like beards myself (still I don't base my judgements on looks so it's not like I'd turn a guy down just because he has a beard.) but most other women I know are split like 50/50 on it. It's not some major manly thing that will make or break who you find attractive.

      a professor one time told me that the more men that have beards, the more women prefer men who are clean shaven, and vice versa. with this knowledge, i was able to deduce real radical centrism (and thus find facial hair that is always attractive): mutton chops.

        Hell yeah, mutton chops!

        Haha, that professor makes it sound like women like men who rebel against trends. I guess that's true when it comes to my preferences but I can't speak for all women.

          peak male performance

          the professor was talking about the different types of natural selection, i can't remember what that one was called, where individuals choose partners who are "against the grain" but i guess that is one possible example of it in humans. wouldn't surprise me if there was some truth to it but i guess it was probably worth more as an instructional example than as a hard fact. still a fun bit of trivia

      As someone with a beard, and thus, often exposed to beard culture, there is a common joke among beard bros that they grew a beard to be attractive to women, but are mostly complimented on them by other dudes. Kinda like when gym bros joke about how their muscles often only get direct attention from other gym bros.

      So there is at least a streak of self awareness in the culture.

          Sadly, I had to take off most of it. I work hospital sanitation, and the masks we use for the covid wards can't seal over a beard.

          I just want this shit to end. I'm vain as hell! I wanna look pretty again dammit!

          Also all the deaths. Those are bad too.

      Honestly I think it’s more just that certain male facial structures just look better with a beard. So what happens is there’s some dude who’s clean shaven and has shit luck with women and then grows a beard and suddenly women are messaging him on tinder for once and so he tells all his bros “chicks dig beards”. But it wasn’t really the beard itself it was just his jawline looked better with one.
