    What Do Women Think About The Growing Movement Toward Big Beards?

    More and more men are embracing the movement toward bigger and more substantial beards. But is this really in their best interest for attracting a mate?

    A New York Times article discussed a research study that asked women which level of beard they found most attractive. The University of Queensland in Australia surveyed more than 8000 women worldwide to find out what the result was. Can you guess what they preferred? Let's see if you can get it right?

    If you guessed "Scruffy Stubble" you were correct! But then why are companies making a killing on selling products to men for bigger beard growth? Well, I asked a few of those lumberjack-looking men what their M.O. was. And for all of you men out there reading this, let's gather some more data!

    From my poll of 9 different men with substantial Santa beards, half of them preferred their long beard because they liked it. They all agreed that their girlfriends either hated it or "didn't mind." And the one's who chose Easiness did NOT use beard care.
