If you are a man, you can grow a beard based on your personal choice.
You may want a thick stubble or you may grow a beard as artful as Khal Drogo’s.
It’s all up to you.
What kind of beard is right for you? It depends on what attributes you want to be associated with.
Here are some reasons why beards are awesome
- Health
Women and men suggested that men who have full beard seem healthier than men without any facial hair.
- More Attractive

If you want to be perceived as highly masculine, you may want to sport a full beard.

Women and men alike have rated that men having a full beard are best at parenting.
Conversely, men who have a light stubble or are clean-shaven were rated as the least attractive by both men and women.
So, if you’re a man, you may want to have that full beard on your face.
Health-wise, men can also benefit by having a full beard.
