Why women love guys with beards



Like it when your man has a little facial scruff? According to new research, it could be because it makes him look like a total badass.

A new study published in the journal Behavioral Ecology found that guys appear more intimidating to other dudes when they have beards. Researchers found it has something to do with the way it makes his jaw look-a beard makes a guy's jawline look bigger, which can make him seem more aggressive when he's upset than a guy with a clean-shaven face. (Interestingly enough, the look doesn't intimidate women at all.)

On the flip side, other studies have shown that people think bearded guys seem more intelligent, confident, and mature-it's just when a guy gets angry that he looks intimidating.

So basically, if you want your guy to seem really smart and confident, and like he won't take crap from anyone, encourage him to grow a beard. Sounds like a win-win to us.
