Well...i guess that's not strictly true - i don't like ALL men with beards (Santa may be cute but i don't get an overwhelming desire to kneel at his feet - although i would consider a little begging for reasons other than his beard - but i digress).
IMO there is definately something extremely attractive about men with beards. Perhaps it's the fact that (most) women can't grow a beard that makes a bearded man seem so - well - masculine. But that's not the only reason i prefer men with beards. After all there are lots of other things about men that make them men - but you won't find me swooning at football matches, sweaty socks, or hairy backs (just kidding guys!)
Judging by the number of "this is gonna make you really attractive to women without cutting your face to ribbons" advertisements on TV, i'm guessing my love of the beard is not something i generally share with others of my gender. With the exception of the seriously swoon-worthy Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) in LOTR - even the box office falls into the "most women prefer face-scrapers" doctrine. Take "Cold Mountain" for example - (SPOILER WARNING - miss the rest of this paragraph if you haven't seen Cold Mountain yet) - brilliant film but Jude Law walks the length and breadth of America to get back to Nicole and the first thing he's going to do is shave the beard!!! you gotto be kidding me, right?!
Naah...give me the beard anyday - although i have to concede it helps if its on a face belonging to someone tall, dark and handsome...did i mention slightly sadistic and... well ...you know the rest.....
