A joint research team from Curitiba Catholic University in Brazil and Sitton Hall University in the U.S. recently published their findings on the link between male beard style, reliability and attractiveness in the international journal 「Acta Psychologica」.
The researchers showed six different types of photos of 171 college students and asked questions about reliability and attractiveness.
The six photos were largely divided into young men and the elderly, and each was divided into a beardless appearance, a neatly arranged beard, and a rich beard.
As a result of the survey, young men had many choices in the order of neatly arranged whiskers, rich whiskers, and bare faces.
In particular, the arranged beard was chosen about 73% more than the bare face.
On the other hand, in the case of elderly men, rich beards were a little more selected, and the arranged beards and bare faces were similar.
The researchers found that "there is a popular belief that beard generally increases male attractiveness or credibility, but only young men with light beard showed significant benefits.", he explained.
