IT'S OFFICIAL - WOMEN FAVOUR FURRY FACES OVER CLEAN SHAVEN FELLOWS.

The year of 2016 has seen a huge increase in beard popularity. It's no secret that most ladies prefer the rough rugged appearance a beard grants it's wearer, there must be something in the hair (see what I did there?) that keeps the females attention. After a quick Google search I've pulled together some rather interesting facts which confirms that lovely ladies favour a furry face over the clean shaven look...

This year beards are literally booming in popularity and are showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Razor companies have taken a nose dive in sales, whereas beard care has become big business. Simply labelling the bearded as a 'fad' or 'phase' would be unfair and completely incorrect. Many of us, me included, see our beards as a huge part of our lifestyle, and thankfully the females rather dig them too. Whilst what kind of beard women like does vastly differ, from the stubble look to the lumberjack, it seems the ladies love a good fondle (of the beard that is!).

Recent figures show that beards are becoming more widely searched on adult websites, so much so many sites now have a category specifically created with beards in mind. For the few ladies who were brave enough to answer an anonymous sexual preference survey formed on the popular forum site, Reddit admitted to having a beard and tattoos fetish, with even more females adding beards into their preferences when using online dating websites.

Not only do furry faces look great, but they can also 'up the ante' when it comes to certain bedroom activities. Kissing hairy faces is said to set your senses tingling, so you can imagine what else our tickly face forests are capable of between the sheets. When making out a beard makes great use of wandering hands, and speaking from the 'beardies' perspective it feels pretty good too. Beards are said to make a gentleman look strong, mature and in control, which are often positive points that many females desire from a relationship. Bearded men are said to make the perfect marriage material too, as beards = testosterone, which in turn equals maturity. Growing a beard doesn't happen overnight either, so lots of patience are also key. Patience being a positive trait for the married life.

So, in short, if you're packing a beard like a king, there is a Queen out there for us all, if you haven't found her already. So next time you're out and about and catch a lovely lady checking out that face fuzz, she's probably more invested in your furry face and a cheeky kiss beneath the mistletoe then you first thought.
