Generally, women tend to find clean-shaven men more attractive than men with a lot of body hair. However, preferences vary and there are specific areas where some women prefer hair.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Overall Preference: Studies suggest that, on average, women find men with less body hair more attractive.
-
Specific Areas: Some women find hair on the areolae, pectoral area, and sternum appealing. This suggests that the amount and location of body hair are significant factors.
-
Individual Variation: Preferences are highly individual. Cultural factors, personal experiences, and individual tastes all play a role in what a woman finds attractive. Some women might prefer a completely hairless look, while others might find a moderate amount of body hair masculine and appealing.
-
Beards vs. Body Hair: The preference for facial hair (beards) is somewhat separate from the preference for body hair. The provided reference specifically noted no correlation between fertility and preferences for beard or body hair distribution.
In conclusion, while research indicates a general preference for less body hair among women, it's important to remember that attraction is subjective and varies significantly from person to person.
