The more beard grows, the less attractive men are

Australian scientists have shown, women are often fascinated with boys with moderate beards and well cared for.

A new study by scientists at the University of New South Wales (Australia) shows that the more beards a man has, the less attractive they become. That means, the overpowering "hair" on the face, on both sides of the apricot, stretching down the jaw, mustache . will make them become less attractive in the eyes of the opposite person.

Test subjects (including 1,453 female and 213 male) were shown a series of photographs of the man "smooth beard" , carefully groomed beard - not too long, to the beard " cloud type " by renowned researcher Charles Darwin.

The results showed that the participants of the experiment looked for more images of "smooth beard" men , followed by carefully groomed beards.

Experts found that the novelty of the beard is an important factor, deciding whether or not the person is attractive.

In contrast to history, experts discovered, in 1853, men of that time tended to have more sideburns. By 1877, this style had lessened, instead of sideburns and mustache.

In 1892 marked the "golden" of beard when men to bear on many parts of the face such as the apricot, chin, mustache . The tendency to bear this also peaked between 1917-1919.

However, like fashion, the tendency to beard will change. Researchers from New South Wales found that the tendency to be stubbornly enchanting always made women love. However, it is a trimmed beard that is not suspended above the lips to allow food to stick, nor should it lie under the collarline too much.

Researcher Robert Brooks told the Guardian: "Like fashion, a beautiful beard, style will make men become masculine, more attractive in the eyes of the opposite. On the contrary, too much beard, The long beard, which will grow wildly, will make the person in front of you feel a very sloppy ".

The study is published in Biology Letters.
