20 Bright Examples That Show a Beard Can Change a Man’s Face More Than Plastic Surgery Can

There is an opinion that men with beards not only look older but are also perceived as people with a higher social status. While, for some people, thick hair on the face is a way to hide cosmetic imperfections, others use it to increase attractiveness. And it’s mostly the female part of the world who can say whether that goal has been reached.

We at Bright Side saw, through the example of internet users, how different can one person look with and without a beard.

Do you think a beard makes men more attractive or does it depend on the person? Perhaps you can share a photo or 2 from your own archives.
