Or clean shaven?
-
clean,weekends go this route,,,
-
A bit too prickly for me.
-
Let me tell you guys: women LOVE this look. Buy a beard trimmer and go for anywhere from 0.4 to 2mm. (Jason has longer in this pic, probably 4-5 mm) The difference in amount of women that approach me when I have a stubble beard vs when shaved clean is significant.
The ultimate look is of course very short trimmed hair (1 mm or less) + designer stubble. Don't shave your head entirely bald because most don't like that look and most gay men do (I'm sure Bay will confirm) and they let you know :P
-
A bit too prickly for me.
You prefer clean shaven? It's funny, when I'm walking around with the stubble, I get approached by girl after girl, when I'm shaved, I basically don't get approached lol
It is a major pussy magnet 8)
-
A little bit of stubble is attractive, I just don't want to finish up with a red raw mouth area after I lock lips with a too stubbly man. But yes clean shaven all over from head to toe is to attract the men, not the women.

Perhaps Booty can confirm or clarify,
But with regards to guys like George Clooney, Don Johnson, brad Pitt, this guy could work at a waste management or water purification plant have hair, no hair, beard, no beard, money, no money..
He'd still have no probs attracting women,
-

I remember an old interview he did saying the reason was the visual he had of his character was that ''he rarely woke up in his own bed." True story. 1995.

You need a beard trimmer, any one that has enough length settings (because it depends on the person what length looks best) will suffice. Don't buy Philips though, they are generally crap when it comes to trimmers.

Yes, but make him clean shaven and his attractiveness will go down. Still high since he simply has major charisma of course. When he smiles, you smile.

Remington is a brand you can't go wrong with.

The cheaper ones would be fine just as well.

as a lazy, infrequent shaver. i don't purposely have the 'designer stubble' look, but when i do shave, i get two to three days window of looking awesome 8)

You think you look better clean shaven?

I like to be clean shaven...face....head... .ball bag..... feels sort of free... ;)

Since men dont were makeup or have long hair, facial hair is the only way men can hide or enhance facial features.

stubble boosts the size of the lower jaw and signals that a male is sexually mature.....rock a 5 oclock shadow all the time......i hate being clean shaven
-
You think you look better clean shaven?
better with a couple or so days of growth before it starts looking like shit again. i keep promising myself i'll shave but i never do until i really have to cos i hate shaving

Buy a beard trimmer and keep it like that 24-7 8)

Booty: head hair: 0.5 or 1 mm? Other women may reply as well 8)

Get some iron filings and glue stick it to your face.

I don't think it would make much difference.

I don't think it would make much difference.
It definitely does, right around 0.5 mm is where it stops looking bald.

I have designer stubble. It was "designed" so that I wouldn't have to shave.

You're worrying too much - do whatever you feel looks the best, women can sense confidence, they don't give a shit as much about the look as they do as the confidence you exude.

dont be a fool...thats like saying being tall,,, or having a good build ....or symetrical face means nothing..... . There is a reason for everything and why certain things work and dont work..
just like women with full lips signal higher estrogen levels and are more attractive to us ...
stubble boosts the size of the lower jaw- aka high testosterone levels- high test levels- better genes- better genes-women want to mate with you instead of that other clean shaven jackass.
.... 3 days is optimal, shave the part around the cheeks and keep a bit underneath the neck to cast a shadow..

Wow. You totally missed the point.
Women are going to find either find you attractive, or they aren't. A fucking stubble beard isn't going to be the difference between you getting laid or not 99% of the time.
Different women are attracted to different things, so you may as well just go with what you PERSONALLY think looks best, as that is going to make you the most self-confident.
Worrying about what particular style women are going to find attractive is the kind of shit stupid ass kids do.
Just dress decently, be decently groomed, and go with whatever look makes you most confident. You're theory of "these things work on women, these things don't" is utter stupidity, let alone your "3 day growth is optimal" horseshit. 3 day growth on me is a full fucking beard, on someone else it may barely be growing in.
Some women like facial hair, some don't. So do whatever the fuck you feel like, more than likely it's not going to make a difference.

Confidance is sexy as hell. But then so is when a guy is shy. I agree though, shaving your body from top to toe is too high maitenance and reminds me of romper stomper for some reason. I like a man who can be confidant to not care sometimes and be casual enough to have some stubble.

Honest to God after reading the title of the thread I refused to open it (the video). It's not hard to find out what he did just by some of the postings in thread. Obviously he couldn't (or didn't want to) make money being a personal trainer so he resorted to that. Pathetic.

not counting head, that would definitely add to it. but with enough practice probably wouldn't take more than 10 extra minutes.

Wrong. Science actually supports this. Minus the 99% part of course. I would love it if people/women didn't operate based on those kinds of things, but most are drones that simply do.
Since I have some stubble, I've even been hit on by some of the GF's of friends I've known for whole my life and who've been together for 10+ years.
-
Since I've actually studied psychology and have seen boatloads of stuff that'll make you shake your head, here's another one, again pertaining to women only: first impressions are everything, meet her for the first time well groomed, looking all good with fancy clothes and you are basically set. You can dress like a complete slouch later without much harm, the first impression is what stays and apparently, what defines you. This not only pertaining to look but to everything basically.
Do the opposite and chances are major there won't even be a second time.
Your remark about women liking confidence also isn't correct, since confidence is something you only get to see after getting to know someone real well. Anyone can act confident in a one off way. It's actually arrogance they seem to like. No one else noticed women seem to get really interested once you start ignoring them? Give them a lot of attention, not interested, give them a bit, then ignore, they'll go for you hard. This is apparently how many women's brains work.
I've seen some mind boggling stuff during my studies.
-
Well,a stubble doesn't conceal the jawline.
So a man may sport a strong jawline and facial hair-two markers of virility....instead of just one, when he's either clean shaven or has a full beard. ;D

This is true for most guys, unless your Gerard Butler but there are a a load of little things you can do to make one big thing that will change how women react to you, take the average slobby guys, messy hair, beard, bad dress sense, poor dental hygene etc, lets say for each thing he changes he goes up maybe 5%.
Get a groomed Haircut that suits his face
Shave stubble to 0.5mm and keep it every day
Bleach Teeth
Get a tan/fake tan
Lose weight to get to 8-14%bf, defining your jaw, chin and cheekbones
Lift weights to add Lean mass
Buy a wardrobe with stylish clothes that FIT
Work on your vocal diction
Dye your eyebrows if they are light for more defined thicker brows and then shape ( a little homo but hey it works)
Improve your posture
All that can be done in a few months, sans adding slabs of lean mass, but even 5-10 pounds is enough for most guys, the odds start to stack up on top of each other until you go from slob to stud.

Correct - thats where this little line came in -
Just dress decently, be decently groomed, and go with whatever look makes you most confident
Which evidently most everyone glossed over, obviously you can't go out looking like a total shlub.

Lee Labrada once said this in a seminar: "You want to look tons better? Drop 10 pounds, get a tan, and a haircut".
He was right.
To the posters in this thread: do you people not have corporate jobs? You can't walk into a boardroom looking like you rolled out of bed with stubble on your face, or meet a client or vendor or customer without shaving. You look like a bum. I've never met one senior level executive that rocks the stubble at work on a weekday. Not saying they aren't out there, but if they are, I haven't met them. I've never once shown up into a boardroom with my customers in there and not shaved (and on the flip side, I've never seen a higher up in my customers' office not shaved). Why is that? Because if you have your shit together, you shave. You make sure everything is perfect. You are detail oriented. You don't roll out of bed and decide to go get a purchase order for 500K units.
And remember: executive level salary trumps stubble for picking up chicks.

Dude... you're on a BB website. How many people do you think actually have jobs, let alone are working in an any kind of job where their facial hair is important?
Besides, usually the one asking these questions are people in their early 20's who are more concerned with what makes women wet than their bank accounts. (Which is pretty funny, considering money is the ultimate aphrodesiac.)

A) Women don't know much you make unless you tell them
B) she could be making more than you
C) if you do get the woman because of much you make, you just may lose the woman because of how much you make---I know of a man paying 24k a month in child support and still can't see his kids.
D) people need to stop focusing on that "one thing", there is no silver bullet. There are many paths to Rome. There are a multitude of different reasons, a shallow man will attract a shallow woman. So, if complain that all she was about was your money, that probably was all you let her know you were about.

Im assuming they are talking about 1 night stands, in which case a wallet full of money and expensive clothes usually help find those kind of women.

Are you getting sanctimonious in a thread on how scurred men can make themselves prettier for women? By not shaving? Brother, please!
Let me answer:
1. yes they can. Your car/job/house are all clear indicators of net worth potential. Women who don't know how to spot this usually wind up with under-achieving men.
2. if she is, then she will value a like-minded individual who is career driven and can support her career ambitions by providing a robust contact network. Smart wealthy women don't shack up with dumb-assed kids. They do fuck them on the side though, so not all is lost for you panty-waisted nancy boys.
3. very true. But true for every one-sided reason a woman marries a man. If she marries you for looks, you will lose them. If she marries you for the size of your junk, you will get impotent. If she marries you for your sense of humor, life will jade you and rob you of it. If she marries you for excitment, she will tire of you and get bored. A woman knows why she marries a man. No one else. You can't help why she chose you. So money or not, it's irrelevant. Whatever you have that attracted her is fleeting. If love doesn't blossom from the union, then no amount of gilding the lilly will save it.
4. I completely agree. But we were talking about shaving. Which is dumb. And I just trolled. But you ruined my trolling. And now I'm angry about that and am melting down. Thanks bro-meo.

Women want the cock. plain and simple.

I agree, true. But at some point those companies have to deal with companies that do have standards. And maybe those companies' are a customer.
So let's say you work for one of these "hey, we don't care if you shave" companies. And you're the senior VP of sales. And you have a meeting with your customer...it's Wal-Mart. In Bentonville. You know those people shave (FYI, in case you don't).
So, do you:
A) shave, because you know you're company standards are not the standards that corporate America plays by, and try to put your customer at ease
B) don't shave. Fuck Sam Walton and his gang. I'm going in hairy, and if they don't like me because of that, screw them and their money. Maybe they'll think I'm edgy.
I'll answer it for you. You didn't get to be a Sr VP by being a child and stand-off-ish. You'll shave.
So why bother growing it out? Just shave the damned thing if you have a job that's important.
If you drive a truck or work in a warehouse or at the IT help desk, then go ahead. But when you face forward for your company outside the building, you have to play ball with the common denominator.
Are you just trying to jerk my chain Grape? ;D

Lee Labrada once said this in a seminar: "You want to look tons better? Drop 10 pounds, get a tan, and a haircut".
He was right.
To the posters in this thread: do you people not have corporate jobs? You can't walk into a boardroom looking like you rolled out of bed with stubble on your face, or meet a client or vendor or customer without shaving. You look like a bum. I've never met one senior level executive that rocks the stubble at work on a weekday. Not saying they aren't out there, but if they are, I haven't met them. I've never once shown up into a boardroom with my customers in there and not shaved (and on the flip side, I've never seen a higher up in my customers' office not shaved). Why is that? Because if you have your shit together, you shave. You make sure everything is perfect. You are detail oriented. You don't roll out of bed and decide to go get a purchase order for 500K units.
And remember: executive level salary trumps stubble for picking up chicks.
Maybe in America it is like this, I don't know. Over here, a suit isn't a requirement, high level staff go to work in jeans and t-shirt, and I'm sure stubble would be no problem as well.
The whole suit thing is passé. You are judged on skill and performance, not on how you dress, at least in that domain you are.

A tan makes anyone look better.

Where is "over here"? And what "domain"?
A high-water mark is what the folks in the regional offices of Proctor & Gamble, Coca-Cola, or any large bank or investment brokerage dress (like Credit Suisse, etc...).
I agree with your statement though - nothing looks more out of place than a suit in a business casual environment. Dress to your company's culture or you risk being ostracized. If everyone just wears a t-shirt and jeans, then don't wear a $800 tailored jacket.
The suit thing isn't passe. On the contrary, it will always be in-style. But it has its place. For example, my customers and vendors in China ALWAYS wear suits. They would see my not wearing one as a massive sign of disrespect to their office and passion to drive their business.
I would never show up to an interview NOT wearing a suit. I will always wear a suit to my first visit to your office. I will always wear a suit to visit a customer. I will always wear a suit to visit a vendor. It's a show of respect. I might take the jacket and tie off in the meeting if it's a bit much. But my first impression will always be one of respect. You will never be at fault for over-dressing to your first meeting. You WILL be mis-judged if you under-dress for that first meeting. You can always take a jacket off and relax. You can't make jeans and a t-shirt look better if you misjudge the dress code your customers want from you.

You sound like a power bottom, Im getting a distinct Will Brink vibe from you.

Sorry to have ruffled your feathers, "Army of Bum". No harm intended.
I guess they don't make you wear a suit to the soup kitchen down at the Church Shelter for battered husbands such as yourself, then?

Being a salesman changes things, they are generally dressed business-style yes. But I can't imagine a well-groomed stubble beard to be seen as not acceptable. High level people have beards just as well.

Depends on the business... My business it's perfectly acceptable to have stubble and the whole bit.
Other businesses are more classical in appearance and it would go over less enthusiastically.

Elvis is very classically handsome.
