Men with beards are ‘better boyfriends’!

Is it time to ditch the razors?

Sorry fuzz-free chaps, men with beards are better in relationships – according to a new study!

It asked 8,520 women to place men, with and without facial hair, on a scale of ‘relationship longevity’, to see which of them were perceived as long-term relationship material.

The experiment was carried out to determine how women rate men’s facial attractiveness.

And it resulted in beardy guys being the most popular!

So maybe that’s why the Duchess of Sussex always gazes so lovingly at Prince Harry…

The research paper, published in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, states: “Results showed a significant interaction between beardedness and masculinity on attractiveness ratings.

“Our findings suggest that beardedness may be attractive when judging long-term relationships as a signal of intra-sexual formidability and the potential to provide direct benefits to females.”
