I (22M) noticed that when my face was slimmer but I had no beard, I didn't get as much attention as when I had a beard (my face was slightly puffier so I grew a beard to cover it up). I was really interested by this, and shocked...I got attention from hotter girls just because of a beard

I'm Indian background so maybe beards are expected on us dudes (here in the UK at least) but I wouldn't even say my beard is that good compared to some other South Asian dudes around here.

Anyone else experience this?
