Preferred in India: Clean shaven men
NEW DELHI: Urban Indian women prefer to smooch clean-shaven men but men with stubble also score well for their sex appeal, says a recent study.
The 2009 AC Nielsen survey, which interviewed over 1,000 men and women in eight Indian cities recently, discovered that clean-shaven guys topped the women’s choice.
“Across Asia, men and women frown on the full-bearded look. Indian and Thai men favour moustaches and stubble, but the most desired style in India is the clean-shaven look or a goatee.
“A whopping 72% of women respondents in Mumbai and an even greater 83% of female respondents in Chennai are more likely to kiss a shaved man.
“In Mumbai, 64% of women say stubble increases the sex appeal of a man,” reported the Times of India, quoting AC Nielsen’s findings.
According to the survey, women found that men with facial hair were old fashioned, which made them less popular among the urban females.
Well, as for the men, the survey found that 90% of Indian men prefer to be clean-shaven but only 55% had a clean-shaven face, added the newspaper.
The study also found that in cities like Bangalore and Chennai, men took about 30 minutes to shave while in Lucknow, capital of Uttar Pradesh, it was done within five minutes. -Bernama
