We have pubic hair so it retains our scent in order to attract mates.
The thing is, while driving just before I was thinking of the ratio , how much do hairy furry cromagnon men get laid comparing to the smooth,stylish ones?
Then, maybe I'm just about to fix that world problem as well, because men will realise how they're having lower sex activity because women cant be bothered to go through all that prickly bush and she cant even really see his face (that's covered with that hair) )
Men wish to increase (perhaps) that ratio and they're thinking "I'm having more chances by being the cromagnon" but they're not realising it's working against them ?
Here are some unique examples.

And here are the beard categories

My husband is mostly a stubble guy, although occasionally he ventures into wildman category. It‘s not scratchy though. He sometimes has a goatee, which I rather like, but it requires precision maintenance. One thing about beards and such though......they grow back.
On the other side of the argument I know of 2 friends, one shaved his beard and his missus told him to regrow it as soon as possible. Whether to hide his face or general fluffiness I don't know.
The other grew a beard after being together for about 4 years, he suggested shaving it but was told to keep it if possible.
So there's all sorts in this world.
However, I can appreciate the beauty of a well-groomed proper beard and am not mad at the "old-school hairstyle with a neat beard" look. "Lazy" beards outright disgust me, I think a lot of men don't realise that looking after a beard is actually not much less work than keeping your face clean shaven.
