I have to disagree! I know of many gay men with great beards. Even cross dressers have beards. Some men just can’t grow facial hair & that’s genetic. I’m a woman & I don’t look at a man with a beard or mustache to decide if he’s a man.
To me a real man is there for the people in his life. If he can’t do the job himself he makes sure it’s done by someone who can. If the man is a father he’s always there for the children until he leaves this earth.
I was once asked by a male co worker why women were attracted to guys that drove pick up trucks, wore jeans, rough around the edges, “red necks”, country boys, cowboys, etc (they do come in all races)
I said because a woman knows she will always be taken care of. Most likely f those men know how to fix anything. They will stand up to anyone to defend their woman, mother & children. They don’t care about impressing strangers. They like the simple life.
(I understand they all don’t fit in this box.)
They are also not competing with their wives to be the "prettiest" or "best dressed". My husband is all man. He is not perfect...luckily, I am not perfect either. When we had almost back to back Hurricanes, he came in pretty handy. I had a working generator with air conditioning. I even had running water. I knew that no matter what that together we could survive. A lot of women have been mislead too. Society told them they could have it all and have it all at the same time. You can't. Something suffers.

Yes, this is so true. I've made a conscious effort to not be like that - striving to be the prettiest. I'd imagine that an excessively vain partner would be a huge turnoff to women.
If you can grow out some facial hair. That is distinctly a male characteristic.
