20 Times When a Longing for Perfection and a Beard Turned Men Into True Machos

How do you change a man’s appearance beyond recognition? It’s simple — grow a beard. Men with well-groomed beards look much more manly and are definitely not suffering from a lack of female attention.

We at Bright Side couldn’t just pass by these cardinal transformations and are now sure that a beard can perform miracles.
