The[DS1]  survey revealed most U.S. women prefer a man with facial hair over a clean-shaven face (58 percent vs. 42 percent, respectively). Millennial women showed a particular panache with a 71 percent preference. In general, 65 percent of women find facial hair attractive, and 57 percent describe men with facial hair as masculine or handsome. As far as style, stubble topped the preference list, and a well-groomed beard was a close second.

Completed interviews were weighted by several Census variables including age and geographic region, to ensure a reliable and accurate representation of the total U.S. population.
