There’s good news for the hirsute man: research suggests women find men with beards more sexually attractive than clean-shaven gents. In general, “masculine” features – including facial hair, a strong jawline, deeply set eyes and a thicker brow – were rated as more attractive and sexy. Physical appearance is a big deal while choosing the perfect potential mate. One gets impressed by the first look.

Men having well-groomed beards suggest that they are careful about their physical appearance and that adds points to their personalities. Moreover, men with beards look more manly, older, matured, generous, sincere, responsible, confident, hard-working, family oriented. All these things lift their sexiness up and make them desirable to the women.
