男性鬍鬚中的學問:會說話的鬍子
Ever wonder if growing facial hair has a purpose beyond making it easier to play "Spot the Hipster" at trendy urban coffee houses? Apparently it does.
覺得鬍子除了作爲裝點時尚的元素再沒有別的作用？很顯然不是！
While modern may might grow a beard to intimidate opposing batters, prehistoric men grew beards to keep warm, intimidate enemies and protect their faces from punches. Plus, ancient civilizations saw beards as a sign of honor, and women today — while admitting they find bearded men to be 67% as attractive as clean shaven men — consider guys with full facial hair to be more respected, powerful and of higher status.
與現代人用鬍鬚來恐嚇對手相比，史前歲月中男性的鬍鬚還有保暖和保護自己臉部免受拳頭傷害的作用。另外在古代中胡須代表着榮譽和更高的社會地位，現代社會延續了這一點——雖然有67%的女性覺得大鬍子男人一樣很有吸引力，但是那些麪皮白淨的男性則更受尊敬，更強大，也更有社會地位。
But not all see hirsute men in a positive way. According to research gathered by Online PhD, beards can predict whether you’re a badass or board room material, and can have people seeing you as less generous, caring and cheerful… and older. Another reason to fear the beard? Possibly.
但是並不是所有的人都認爲毛髮濃密是好的。根據Online Phd收集的數據研究表明，通過鬍鬚可以預測你是一個壞蛋還是一位董事會成員，同時還能分析出你別的方面：慷慨，小氣和心情，當然更能據此猜測你的年齡。另一個擔心鬍子的理由？也許吧。
