Last year I had short, spikey hair and shaved basically every day. I had a moderate amount of success with women. This summer though, I let my hair grow out to medium length and just mess it up, and I shave like every two weeks (I get a full beard in about 4 or 5 days) and I have a noticed a HUGE difference in women's reactions. Lately, whether it be at parties, in the classroom, whatever - I can't even make eye contact with a woman! I think so far in four weeks of class/parties I've seen ONE girl looking at me and making good eye contact.

So my beard is coming off and I'm getting a new hairstyle, but I just wanted to warn you all how important it is to shave and look clean!

Nice... when i was in a LTR like 5 years ago my girlfriend told me she liked me with a goatee, I thought it looked horrible but she insisted i have it... She also got pissed off when i worked out. Needless to say back then i didnt get much attention from the girls. Now im clean shaven, have short spiked hair, have very little bodyfat and smile alot. Girls are always smiling at me and sending me signals... now if i could just get some confidence and work those chicks id be fine !

lol, is this some kind of revlation for you guys? It's simple, looks is for attraction. What people look for if they want a serious relationship is personality.

Nah I knew that, but I personally thought it was all crap. Guess not.

Also, I was going to go back to the clean shaven look, but my (male) friends all liked the look, saying that it was "rugged" and that I "looked like a man". So, yeah, don't listen to most guys for advice about women I guess.

I think the point he's trying to get accross is to show that you have good hygiene and grooming.

Of course different looks vary for different people.

It doesn't matter...

You guys don't get it.

The reason why you aren't doin well with the shaggy hair and scruffy look is because you believe in your mind that you won't do well...

I just got the # of a model/bartender and I was wearing sweatpants, hadn't shaved in a week and looked like a bum. She just called me from Vegas to say that she looks forward to seeing me when she gets back...

I am not the best looking guy around. I am average.

The difference between me and you guys is that my personality is becoming well groomed. It doesn't matter what you look like as long as you have got a personality that attracts women.

Get out in the field. Approach women. Learn what attracts them and you won't have to worry about looks...

The only reason why a short haircut and being shaved works better for you is beause you (in your mind) believe it will. And when your not shaven or looking clean you doubt yourself and your abilities.

I'm every woman's type. Shaven or not.

I've gotten much more attention since letting my facial hair grow out some. I usually clip it every other day with a beard trimmer set on 1. Giving straight up advice to be clean shaven is wrong since different looks work for different people.
