Why do girls like their partner to keep a beard?

[Anonymous]

Just seems I have more intimate encounters when I'm clean shaven; women buying me coffees, successful approaches at bars or clubs, women approaching me, one night stands!

But have has zero luck when I keep a beard. I tried the medium stubble look, heavy beard, faded.. Yet none of my experiences while clean shaven are replicated. I have never successfully picked up a girl while keeping a beard, I mean 0!

Now my conclusion is i look better clean shaven, however whenever I get into a relationship, my girl wants me to keep a beard.

You think I've uncovered a subconscious preference for women to keep me in their reach?

Please share your experiences or thoughts

You've already mentioned that you've come to the conclusion that you probably look better clean shaven. So I will start with the second reason from a woman's perspective. A clean face says you care about your hygiene. This doesn't mean that if you have a beard that you don't but beards have the reputation of collecting dirt, dust and food/drink particles. Sometimes beards can say to a woman: messy, unkept, unhygienic. A woman has to guess whether or not your hygiene is good when a man has a beard. After you're with her, she knows, and then, wants you to grow the beard.

I'm similar as far as experiences go but I've never dated a single girl who wanted me to grow/keep a beard. That seems pretty unusual if you seem to get more social attention clean-shaven.

I figure your girl just really likes beards even if it doesn't look so good on you to most other people.

Strange, they never wanted you to keep a beard? My relationships were within the 20-25 range where they all wanted beards (5 girls in a row) , they've also met me clean shaven, wonder if it's age dependant

It might also be partially culture. I only seriously dated a few women in the US before mostly dating in Japan. In Japan, I think the clean-shaven look is more popular than the beard look.

I've definitely heard before... I think for many Asian cultures, beards seem dirty or a sign of not taking care of yourself... a Korean girl once told me that the average Korean can't really grow proper full beards so many chose to shave it

Here it's actually a common dress code that we are clean-shaven at the workplace. So usually a Japanese guy with a beard is either a retired old man or a guy with no job. That's probably why it isn't considered so desirable for women. Probably the second reason though is that we don't grow such cool facial hair. I tried growing mine out and it looked like I had 5-inch long thick and curly pubes growing out of my face. :-D
