Beards

All a beard did was make my jaw look larger. Santa on steroids...:) :)
 
On some men, beards are very hot. Not crazy about long beards whatsoever, but love a nice scruff or a cropped close beard on some guys. Some guys just ooze sexiness when they have the type beard that I like. Some guys are literally made to have a beard and others are not. I am one who looks horrible with a beard. Nice photos Stim..thank you!
 
I considered shaving for about a week a month ago. Then I looked at a picture of the last time I shaved 3 years ago...Beard is going to last another 3 years before shaving is considered.

From a scientifically based research and survey ScienceShot: Heavy Stubble Makes Men More Attractive | Science/AAAS | News

and an extract from the original article

"Facial hair strongly influences people's judgments of men's socio-sexual attributes. However, the nature of these judgments is often contradictory. The levels of intermediate facial hair growth presented to raters and the stage of female raters' menstrual cycles might have influenced past findings. We quantified men's and women's judgments of attractiveness, health, masculinity and parenting abilities for photographs of men who were clean-shaven, lightly or heavily stubbled and fully bearded. We also tested the effect of the menstrual cycle and hormonal contraceptive use on women's ratings. Women judged faces with heavy stubble as most attractive and heavy beards, light stubble and clean-shaven faces as similarly less attractive. In contrast, men rated full beards and heavy stubble as most attractive, followed closely by clean-shaven and light stubble as least attractive. Men and women rated full beards highest for parenting ability and healthiness. Masculinity ratings increased linearly as facial hair increased, and this effect was more pronounced in women in the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle, although attractiveness ratings did not differ according to fertility. Our findings confirm that beardedness affects judgments of male socio-sexual attributes and suggest that an intermediate level of beardedness is most attractive while full-bearded men may be perceived as better fathers who could protect and invest in offspring"

Seems like it true that the ten day stubble thing is the ideal look for most men (depending on how thick their facial hair is of course) and this was not sponsored by Gillette of course

Hot Tumblr blog of beards and scruff:

InstaBeards

Self described as: The hottest bearded furry scruffy guys on Instagram.

It's "hot" because it's all real guys that have sent their own pics in, not a boring bunch of porn star pics.

Helpful hint for those not too familiar with Tumblr... Click on the Avatar pic that says "Insta", then select and click on "Archive", so you don't have to scroll page by page. Starts at Feb. 2012.
