Know This About Beards:

Elysium Revisited: Stubble Is Great!!

WOMEN DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT!!!

This simple fact explains the existence of the whole 'seduction community' (a ridiculous title I hate). Every woman in my life told me the same thing - stubble is unattractive - shave, shave, shave. Use a frickin tweezers if necessary. But then... why do men have beards in the first place? If women ACTUALLY preferred babyfaces, even a tinsy-weensy bit, then babyfaces had a genetic advantage over beardys. Over time babyface genes would predominate, right?

You're right Sebastian, frickin right. So why do my genes have a gameplan far removed from the opinions of the women in my life? My genes desperately, desperately want me to have a beard. They lodge an objection, in unison, every morning. Hmmmm... Could it be, COULD IT POSSIBLY BE?!!!!?, that girls prefer beards, or at least stubble (an indicator of beard-growing potential).

Yes, it turns out - nature knows best. The Telegraph headline shouts it: WOMEN PREFER MEN WITH STUBBLE FOR LOVE, SEX AND MARRIAGE.

Women participating in the research rated men with stubble as tough, mature, aggressive, dominant and masculine - and as the best romantic partners, either for a fling or a long-term relationships.


Facial hair may have been sexually selected by females on the basis of associated male success, despite its threatening appearance. Clean-shaven faces therefore may suggest appeasement, as well as being an obvious sign of sexual immaturity.


STOP! Ponder the words. Let them sink in. For beardy's/stubblers: tough, mature, aggressive, dominant, masculine, success. Now, contemplate the words affixed to babyfaces: appeasement, sexual immaturity.

What women say they want and what they respond to in the real world are completely different things. Grasp this and you've grasped a great deal. Go to sleep, we'll talk again soon.
