Let's face it, men with beards just look a hell of a lot better. In fact, it's been scientifically proven by the Official Journal of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society that guys with beards are more attractive to women. Tsk, why bother with the science, if we already knew the truth about our attraction to a full beard, right ladies? See for yourselves below as Bored Panda has put together a list of hot guys with beards.
Plus, if any of you gentlemen are thinking about implementing your beard styles, there's no better time than Movember and No-Shave November - two great causes that ask to help raise money and awareness by not shaving in November. Movember encourages to grow a mustache through the month and help raise funds for men's health. As for No-Shave November, it's devoted to growing cancer awareness and raising funds by not shaving throughout the month and donating the money you would have spent on shaving and grooming to cancer prevention.
But enough with talking - scroll to our list of finest specimens of celebrities with beards below!

Well, he also wears glasses, have other type of clothing, bad makeup and, flash that makes eyebrows hard to see, bad lightning and unstyled hair. How can we compare?
Fang bite 9 years ago
Let's see the beard pic clearly has less shine, no glasses. Obviously he's more done up in the beard pic then the without beard pic. No makeup in the without hence the blotchy complexion. To argue the beard pic looks better when comparing a made up pic to one without make up is apples to oranges. Of course the make up making the more even complexion would look better.

They don't even look like the same guy. They give the "air" of two completely different guys. Left by far, guys that look like the right photo are really trying to make a statement about their masculinity, from a guy, that really knows what "guys" are really about. That is THE purpose of all this facial hair c**p. Statement being made, now YOU can have NO doubt that I am all male, meaning I AM NOOOOOOOOT gay, sorry ladies that is the truth.

Short hair/no beard vs long hair/beard. Hardly a fair comparison. Still, I think the clean shaven looks better because the long hair looks like it is dirty.

Between many of these pictures, quite some time has passed. Moreover, not all are comparable with regard to style, shooting quality, and atmosphere. And then: beards underly fashion standards like many other things. Many like them NOW because they are fashionable NOW. Do you also like hairy breasts like they were a sign of manlieness in the 80s? Probably now...but probably we would say yes in 5, 10, or 15 years. In additional, the pictures would be more creditable if they would not show celebrities, for who public opinion is biased already. Thus, the photos prove nothing, they are just an interesting collection of "with - without" photos.

I have to agree. The photos aren't exactly that fair but still in many cases I found the first photo, esp with stubble (and not beards) way more attractive.

I feel like men's beards are the equivalent of women's makeup, they hide a lot of your flaws and features. You could have bad acne scaring, and hide it with a beard just as easily and a woman could hide it with make up.
Arjan 9 years ago
It's more like an option to change the overall shape of your face, long beard for a wide/round face, short wide beard for a long face. There is plenty of exposed skin left to see if it's good or bad. For me it's just about not being bald on the top and bottom and on top I'm genetically screwed :)
