"
- Women judged faces with heavy stubble as most attractive
- heavy beards, light stubble and clean-shaven faces rated as pretty similarly
- 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.

Heavy stubble is better than clean shaven only on men with weak chin/jawline (the majority of men). But, strong jawline/chin is more masculine/attractive than heavy stubble, so clean shaven is the way to go in this case. Just look at male model faces.

If you can grow a beard I recon it's a good option for a chinlesscel

2 other studies about facial hair, I just read.
They also answer questions or comments that people have about: "what if you have great jawline"; what if you have a feminine featured face", etc..

Study 2. source: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jeb.12958
This other study. showing females the faces of 36 different european men. Most of them likely most are regular/average looking faces.
Kinda same findings as opening post study, but a bit more indept. It also tested morped faces (more feminine and more masculine morphing of the faces).

The graph in the study says it all basically.
Y-axis (vertical axis): shows the attractiveness rating
X-axis (horizontal axis): shows the morphing of the faces to more masculine or feminine, or unmorhped (the middle).

As you can see:
- heavy stubble on avarge always wins (the safe bet)
- light stubble is bad if you have a feminine (bitch) face; but if you have normie masculine face or masculine face it works perfectly also.
- full beard is good if you have a feminine (bitch) face or normie face; but if you have masculine face then somehow full beard doesn't work good.
- clean shaven, somehow is the worst one always.

study 3 source: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsbl.2013.0958

- The "full beard" results, on attractiveness. Is highly/significantly influenced, by how popular having a beard is by other men. When it's more popular it makes it somehow look significantly less attractive overall.
- Clean shaven, remains overall the shittiest on the attractiveness scale, no matter what other men do. Only does it become a little less shitty if alot off men go full beard.
- And the light stubble and heavy stubble, remain most attractive looking. No matter what.

I have a full beard but its only there to cover my weak chin and jawline. Without the beard I am ready to KMS. It's THAT BAD.

This most likely also depends on jawline, as beards improve on jawline pronounciation in most cases aka medium or weak jaw, however act negative on strong jawlines
