The report, published Oct. 28 in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, examined more than 500 men from the United States and India. The subjects completed a survey that asked questions about their facial hair and gender roles.
Meanwhile, another study by social network Eva and Censuswide claims that men with "longer facial hair" are more likely to "fight, cheat and steal."
