A combination of polls shows that 80 to 90 percent of women prefer some amount of grooming for starters. Only 10 to 20 percent prefer guys with a completely unkempt bush; this means that going wild below the waist is not the default look. It may require less work, but you're not playing the odds.

Ninety percent of women reported in a survey that they like their male partners groomed down there. Another survey of 300 women found 64 percent preferred their guys trimmed, 16 percent preferred a clean-shaven man and 20 percent found the natural look best.
Data clearly show that women prefer men with body hair, a direct indicator of sexual maturity. Considering that this feature is present in both men and women, the same would be expected when males look for attractive characteristics in women.

In a separate study, women reported that their short-term sexual partners were more muscular than their other partners. The researchers suggest women have fewer requirements for muscular men.
The general consensus seems to be that parting on one's left makes a person look competent and masculine, whereas parting on the right makes a person look warm and feminine.
A shaved face makes a guy look younger and fresher, and suggests an easy-going charming personality. Women tend to find a jovial nature more appealing when choosing a life-partner, than serious or unkempt-looking guys. There's a reason all 'chocolate-boy' heroes in Bollywood are beardless!
In a recent survey we conducted, we found that 83% of the men we spoke to trimmed some or all of their body hair. In the chart above*, you'll see the breakdown of who shaved what.

Whilst most woman aren't adverse to a subtle slick back, in fact when worn like Justin Timberlake it's actually one of the hairstyles that women find the most attractive, but using so much product that your hair actually goes hard or done in such a way that you can see the physical comb marks that have gone through ...
As mentioned before in Perett's book, In Your Face: The New Science of Human Attraction, women show a stronger attraction toward men with a figure consistent with the ideal hunting physique: strong shoulders, narrow waists, and broad chests and shoulders.
Many women adore men who are confident and self-assured yet humble and grateful for the people around them. But a man who is cocky and shows no appreciation for the people or circumstances that helped him along the way to where he is now might not attract the attention of very many women.
In fact, seven out of ten women think that the "dad bod" is attractive, according to a recent Planet Fitness study. Not only did female respondents say that a dad bod is sexy, they also said it's an indicator of confidence and happiness — two traits that are definitely appealing.

Empirical studies, however, do not support the hypothesis that hairy males are more masculine in biological sense. For example, hairiness has not been found to correlate with traits that are associated with high testosterone levels like masculinity of voice or masculine body shape (e.g., Collins 2000).
A new study found that women perceive men with facial hair to be more attractive as well as physically and socially dominant. Women tend to associate more masculine faces with physical strength, social assertiveness, and formidability.

The Way It Looks
It's manly and bold, like a viking or a gladiator. It's natural and primal like an ancient warrior. It's hard to put into words because it's more of a feeling… like a tingle when you see a guy with long hair and you just know…yep—he's hot.
