Beards and Dating

No-Historian-6391 · 2024-04-23T03:25:47+00:00

Depends on the person, the beard and the women.

Successful-Gate921 · 2024-04-23T04:28:44+00:00

I wasn’t able to grow a beard fully until I was 27. I later was able to grow a full beard and I love how it looks and makes my face look. However, I have only been on a handful of dates over the past 3 years. It has not increased my chances. Confidence seems to be the best way to achieve this. Sadly my confidence leveled are non existent after trying online dating…. Best thing is just to be comfortable with who you are.

Yes, ever since my beard has grown it boosted my atteactiveness and i started to gain lot of attention from women

However, remember that its just an opener of a door. Girls will not just fall in love with you suddenly because you started having a beard

If you haven’t tried it out just go for it. For me I definitely look way better with a beard - and have been complemented by multiple women for it. And many of them told they have find beards very sexy and attractive. However, there are some women who very much prefer the clean shaven look. So it just depends on a lot factors lol. Do whatever you feel the most confident as.

I think it depends on your facial features, face shape etc. if you have a real baby face a beard would help tremendously. Lots of women like beards just keep it well kept and don’t grow it out long.

No-Dependent-8401 · 2024-04-23T14:01:39+00:00

Depends on your facial structure and the type of woman you are going for. Generally speaking stubble is apparently the more objective look, however I think the goatee moustache combo for me makes me look best.

Some demographics prefer certain type of beards. In my experience black women for example like a thicker beard compared to stubble.

Apprehensive_Sea_634 · 2024-04-23T14:52:20+00:00

5'9 175 lbs in good shape bald and I think the beard has helped. Currently banging lots of 30 yr Olds and I'm 45. Having a good job and nice car helps.

Ok-Shock8867 · 2024-04-23T16:48:16+00:00

Doesn't matter. Some dudes look good with one, some don't. I've had women tell me they hate facial hair because it sucks while kissing. I've had others say they're only attracted to guys with beards.

Rules of thumb:

(1) If it's patchy/has that pubescent teen look, no. Stay clean shaven unless you can actually grow one.

(2) On population average studies, women do skew towards liking some facial hair on guys. Some stubble. Shows that you're masculine/healthy/have testosterone.

(3) Bad jawline = beard helps more.

(4) Overall, your personality trumps any of this. This is mostly a dating app swipe optimization. If you're fun to be around, no woman is going to care at all.

Beards subcommunicate a good long term provider vibe. if you want women to think your sexy? grow stubble up to a five oclock shadow.

Ryan Gosling on an average tuesday is a good example. not a beard, but definitely not clean shaven either.

Cactus2711 · 2024-04-23T08:44:10+00:00

Every guy is different. I look too intimidating/intense with a full beard. I can only rock stubble or a short goatee to come across as sexy and approachable

Corn619 · 2024-04-23T10:34:59+00:00

I have found growing a modest beard to be an overall good thing. Most women compliment it. I do work outside and it helps in the winter. Heck even in the summer with sun damage to my lower face.

Potential_Virus_8704 · 2024-04-23T17:49:44+00:00

I’m bearded. Been hard into dating last 2 years and I’m very aware.

Thick long beard was very polarising. Usually attracted those who were into bearded men and generally women that were 23+ and a lot of gay men.

Close to face beard seems to be the best for me.

Clean shaven on the other hand seems to be the most ideal when it comes to girls 18-21, generally speaking. And still stands strong 21+.

That being said, that’s if you can afford to not cover up half your face. I can’t.

Go for clean shaven or close to face beard IMO, if you’re trying to be attractive to as many people as possible.

If you wna be polarising, beardmaxx

KimJongUhn · 2024-04-23T17:54:00+00:00

If you have a weak jaw/chin then it will help, otherwise light stubble is better

Eros_Abundance · 2024-04-24T14:47:59+00:00

I read you are tall as fuck so you can go for the Viking style, some girls are definitely into that. Also a beard helps if you don’t have a perfectly symmetrical face (as in my case, I keep a stubble and it seems to work).

This being said, as long as you are in decent shape and well groomed, maximizing your looks will make an almost insignificant impact on how many girls you actually sleep with.

The biggest leverage you can have is to believe you are the best fucking man she will ever meet on this planet (we are talking about narcissist level delusion here lol).

The single most common trait that all the guys I know who are good with girls have is that they never second guess if a girl likes them and if they get a rejection they blame it on the girl and they never take it on their self worth.

Let’s put it like this:

You grow a beard: 5% improvement

You develop an “I’m a God” self image: 80% improvement

(I made up the numbers, but try it out and check for yourself before judging)

ROBYoutube · 2024-04-23T05:16:47+00:00

If you think growing a beard has helped or hindered you getting dates, you don't understand why you're succeeding or failing.

TRTGymBro1 · 2024-04-23T10:39:52+00:00

Of course all of this stuff helps. But most important is how you feel about yourself. A beard won't hide your lack of inner game (your beliefs like: women like me and want to fuck me, I'm hot, I'm sexy, I can have any woman I want).

notmyrealusernameok · 2024-04-23T11:37:59+00:00

Yes yes yes!!! I also shaved my head (was going bald). These two steps have literally reshaped my life. I’m in my late 40’s, tall (6’3” / 245 lbs), dad bod and funny but never felt that I attracted a lot of women….i was the cute guy to most women but not sexy or handsome. I matched with a younger woman who I felt was completely out of my league. We went out and she said I “had” to shave my head and grow a beard. She told me once I did that the dating world would change for me. I typically don’t like to follow appearance advice but because she was so attractive I gave it a chance. We didn’t work out so I started looking again. I can’t believe how right she was. It’s been just over 60 days and I’ve been with more women during this period than my entire life. I’ve never experienced this much success and interest from women….honestly it’s a little overwhelming.

Practical_Window_919 · 2024-04-23T11:51:11+00:00

A beard in and of itself isn't attractive, but it can be attractive depending on several things. One being your face. You might find that a beard brings out your facial features in a more favorable way, but it can also hide them by putting too much attention on the beard. It all depends on how the beard looks, and how you look. Secondly, beards can look very sexy, but only if they are maintained, and that your beard is full and symmetrical. If you don't have that much beard to work with, you're better off not growing a beard.

lookma24 · 2024-04-23T14:23:27+00:00

I think you should grow a beard because you want to.

Getting girls is a secondary result.

If you are doing stuff to get girls, you are doing it wrong.

Trey2022 · 2024-04-23T15:18:27+00:00

I feel like it depends on yourself. My beard starts to look patchy if I let it get too long. I also don’t like the way I look with my face completely shaven. So I keep stubble instead. Whatever you feel confident with will translate to the most success

jaboni1200 · 2024-04-23T18:09:18+00:00

If you do keep it trimmed and we’ll groomed. If it’s not a full beard shave it

tilldeathdoiparty · 2024-04-23T18:16:37+00:00

There is no answer to this, we don’t know what you are like, look like or how your beard grows. The women you are interested in attracting might like or dislike the beard on you, far too many nuance to this question.

If you decide to grow out the beard, keep it well kept, looking like Sami Zayn will work against you but if you have a specific look and style it can work wonders. Have your hair cut work with the beard, too often they aren’t on the same page and looks goofy.

Beards are a lot of work, I have a short beard due to a weak jawline and I have to trim and adjust once to twice a week and the greys are uncontrollable at times. Beard oil, conditioner and other products to keep it looking fresh, but this is a chore you have to stay on to look good with it, it’s not something you can leave for weeks without adjustments

Elbynerual · 2024-04-23T20:26:01+00:00

I saw an actual scientific study done a few years ago where they determined that short stubble was more inclined to be viewed as a candidate for short term sex, and actual beards (even short ones) were more associated with long term relationship material.

But keep in mind that all women have different opinions, and some just don't like facial hair at all.

Dasher83022 · 2024-04-23T03:27:03+00:00

I don't care for them, and most women I know personally don't like them either. That being said, some women apparently go crazy for facial hair. I think some guys do look good with them, but most don't. They either grow them just because they think they'll look better with them, and then don't, or they grow them and then have no idea how to maintain their facial hair. Sometimes both.

billoverbeck00 · 2024-04-23T09:03:39+00:00

When I was younger I had the mustache and goatee combo and most girls wanted beards and now that I have a beard the goatee and mustache combo came back in style what the hell man lmao I personally didn’t notice a difference at all

RtistUno · 2024-04-23T04:32:43+00:00

Beard definitely makes you attractive. You look like a prehistoric hunter and all the animals and women and other men are scared of you, because you can slit their throats.

And women are attracted to such strong men because, if they choose to come under your protection and you choose to take them under your protection, that ensures their survival and their kids’ survival and. Women are ultimately survival creatures.

And you dont get women if you have beard and a pu$$y attitude. You get women because you are the man and if she chooses to miss the opportunity with you, then she will regret it and you will anyway find other woman very fast.

Beard is a small component. Your innate manliness and you finally accepting and imbibing that in your own life is the main attraction point.
