funny cause this is how I've been going out the past couple of months.......with the stubble. I think I look like too much of nice guy when I'm clean shaven.....and look a little more tough or dangerous with the stubble. at least that was my theory, but I hadn't discussed it with anyone.

Interesting study...

I've experimented with this actually in the past.

I actually stopped doing the stubble, cause after field trials, I would get opened clean shaven and I noticed when i had the stubble i would not get opened. Now i do the cleaned up goatee. I don't know with my own personal look the stubble took me too far to an extreme look, for the targets I was going after, but that's at least my theory. maybe it just looked bad on me too.

Best thing is to try the different looks on different night and see.

Thing about it is, you do have to carry it right. i really think it has to go with your overall presence, demeanor, etc, or else it can actually hurt you.

Bad ass! To add my personal story here, when I first came to Stillwater I was always clean shaven. Then I was lazy and didn't shave for a few days and was told I look hot with stubble by a female friend. I decided to go to the store and get a beard trimmer to keep the stubble groomed and then shave along my jawline. Soon after I started doing this regularly I got compliments from several female friends. One in particular said "Sarah and I were talking and we both think that you have gotten hotter lately. Why is that?"

I didn't reply but I am pretty sure the facial hair was the reason. I really noticed the difference a few weeks ago when I was out of town and had forgotten my beard trimmer. I decided to shave completely because my facial hair was getting long. I immediately noticed that being clean shaven made my jaw look MUCH less defined and I looked way less sexual.

I agree with Top Dog that you need to find what works with you. I look young for my age so having that extra facial hair makes me look more mature.

No wonder I do so well with women...hahahah

I have lost track but I think I have only shaved 1 time in the last 6 years. That is a full shave with a razor. I have a beard trimmer and just keep my face trimmed with the stubble look.

There is no doubt I look way better with the stubble. I have told girls that I was going to shave in the past and they were like...ohh no don't do that. As if it would never grow back or something.

I also keep the stubble look because without it I look maybe 20 years old or something.

on a related note I told my last girlfriend I was going to shave my chest once and she said "Don't you dare do that!"

I've spent most of my 20's with nothing more than a little soul patch that you can barely see because it's damn near blonde...but just recently I grew out a beard. I haven't figured out yet if it's some thing I'm doing or if it's the facial hair, but the amount I'm getting opened up has increased...and a girl that I had a thing with a while ago was all over me Saturday and kept talking about it...

Several months ago, I was driving a girl home from her birthday at Dukes. I've known her forever, and she's gorgeous.

Anyway, she was sitting shotgun, I was driving dd, and her boyfriend was in the backseat. She was a little drunk, and I hadn't shaved for a few days, and the whole way home she had her fingers running up and down my cheek telling me how manly my stubble was.

At the time, it was a little weird at the time with her boyfriend in the backseat but regardless, she was tipsy enough to say exactly what was on her mind without giving a shit.
A little later that night she gave me a pretty clear and direct IOI. I never pursued it further after, given the circumstances.

I can't imagine the stubble did that for me on its own, but it probably didn't hurt.

I think this really depends on the girl. I have actually asked a lot of girls about this before I was in the game and the majority (probably 75-80%) said they like a shaved chest. That being said, if your game is tight it won't really matter because by the time she sees that you will be well on your way to sex.

OK now where is the study on pube grooming :)
