Stubble or a light beard can suit some men and be sexy on them. It's not for everyone, though, and a lot of the guys I see with a beard would probably look better without.

I had mine before the Hipsters started growing them and will no doubt still have it when they have all shaved them off again. Meh.

So the correct conclusion is pig fugly men need some accoutrements to be attractive to women.
I am classically good-looking and charming so would get a 10 even in the first scenario.

With the ration of men to women in the over 70s he won't have a problem getting a woman if he was single considering the fact he is on telly and isn't poor.

Anyone seen those guys sporting a Dali? I thought it was a one off when I first saw it but I've seen a few now.
Don't know what that deal is...

Due to Darwinian selection and the 'peacock' effect, make SERIOUS money, flaunt it and women of all types and ages will literally throw themselves at you, irrespective of your looks, age, background, history or beardage.
From the book/TV series 'Human Instinct' by Dr. Robert Winston (who has 'always' had a beard) ..
"Women on the whole, prefer high-status ambitious males. How do these men show women their status ? They display symbols
of their financial and social superiority. I am reminded of my trip to Los Angeles to make the programme on sex in the
Human Instinct series. The BBC had arranged for four fashionable women to sit at an outdoor cafe on a smart Beverley Hills
boulevard. They were given cards to score the next male to drive up and sit at the next table on the sidewalk. Unknown to them,
my producer had persuaded the cafe owner to keep the table for me. I drove up in an old banger, a Ford obtained from one
of the local film studios. I wore a jumper and torn trousers, with dirty sneakers. When the ladies held up cards like
ice-rink judges, my four scores were 0, 0, 1, 0, average 0.25.
The next day I had a manicure at a beauty salon and a shampoo and haircut done by Laurent, who does
Gwyneth Paltrow's and Meg Ryan's hair. I wore a twenty-five-thousand-dollar set of cufflinks borrowed from Harry Winston's,
a thirty-thousand dollar diamond studded watch from Cartier, and a Versace suit and tie from Rodeo Drive.
And I was driving a brand-new open top Bentley worth a quarter of a million dollars. As I walked past the same
table and sat down, the cards went up: 10, 9, 10, 10, average 9.75"

Why anyone would want to look like Lord Kitchener on that "Your Country Needs You" poster beats me, unless they're gay and want to attract fellow clones.
