However, one survey found that beards, just like most trends, are going out of style soon… and not just because bearded men realized the importance of shaving.
Men who have beards are more likely to cheat on you, says a study.
The video social network, Eva, commissioned research to find out whether there is a link between facial hair and bad habits such as fighting, stealing, and cheating. Researchers also surveyed women with their preference between bearded men and clean-shaven men. Censuswide conducted a nationwide survey of the U.K. population and the results were interesting.

But before we go into the logistics of the research, remember that correlation does not mean causation. There may be other outside factors involved in the results of the study. The survey found that 45 percent of men with goatees confessed to enjoying fist fights, and another 40 percent admitted to having stolen something (is it a macho man thing or what?). Forty-seven percent of long-mustachioed men confessed to cheating on their significant others (are the mustaches really that irresistible?). Furthermore, 43 percent admitted to having been fired before. Meanwhile, only 29 percent of clean-shaven men admitted to enjoying fist fights, and only 17 percent confessed to cheating.

To add fuel to the fire, between a gray-haired man and a bearded man, 35 percent of women responded that they’d rather date a gray-haired man. Even more, 44 percent found beards unclean, and 39 percent had a fear of food getting stuck in them. So, when it comes to dating preferences, 62 percent prefer their men clean-shaven as opposed to bearded. Well, it was good while it lasted, but like everything else, it’s time to trim this trend and start over with a clean slate.
