Is your other half proud of his resting itch face?
Does his lady tickler also tickle your fancy? I said FANCY.
Well, it turns out that men who sport facial tufts are viewed as better partners -and the science on this is pretty conclusive.
According to the study published in the
Journal of Evolutionary Biology; out of the 8,520 women asked, a mind-blowing 8,520 (every last one of them) preferred the man with the beard when asked to rate men with and without facial hear on a spectrum of 'relationship longevity'
Guys with bodacious beards were considered better long-term partners while those with a shortage of scruff were viewed more as short-term dalliances.
Turns out that beards blur the lines between masculinity and femininity. A jawline that can cut glass indicates high levels of testosterone rendering a man all sorts of casual when it came to putting a ring on it.
In short, beards can mask a very masculine face which points to maturity, ergo, a better long-term suitor
or they can balance out a feminine face that could be perceived as "not manly enough" for a life partner.
So next time your furry friend is unfurling his face forest, try to spot if it's a decoy for his exceptionally angular jaw or if he is simply masking his more sensitive side.
