The Hobbit Movie: Men's Facial Hair Bonanza!

What am I looking forward to most about The Hobbit? Men's Facial Hair Bonanza, baby!

At a press conference about the movie, multiple male cast members had already begun growing their own lovely facial hair. The lineup (albeit limited) on display of hairy male faces was absolute heaven. All bias aside, every one of them looked perfectly delicious with their facial hair growth.

As for the movie itself, stills and trailers have shown a fabulous array of facial hair, sure to thrill and delight the most discerning men's facial hair lover.

Ahh, what I wouldn't have given to have been on set, if only for a few moments, surrounded by all of that luscious facial hair! Ya know I would've resorted to bribery with my delicious (and quite addictive) homemade dark chocolate brownies in exchange for some face rubbins. mmmmmmmm. It would have been a win-win for all involved.  :-)

Unfortunately, the first installment of The Hobbit is almost a year away, with the second installment to follow an entire year after that. Talk about prolonged foreplay. Sheesh.

Sadly, I am sure the bearded cast members, now home again, have shaven off all their lovely facial hair. *pouty lips* Pity.

Some of the cast members, such as the UK's own Richard Armitage, seem to routinely sport some type of facial hair in real life and in various roles, so there is that consolation prize for those of us who just can't get enough.

*CORRECTION: The cast members went home only for a Christmas break and the filming has once again resumed. It is scheduled to continue on through July 2012, so facial hair lovers rejoice! We have many more months ahead of that luscious facial hair to dream about!

What is a Face Rub/Face Rubbin'?

For those who see me use the terms, but are unfamiliar with them:

Q-What is a "face rubbin"?

A-When a gentleman with any type of facial hair (scruff/5 o'clock shadow included) gently rubs it on the facial cheek of a lady. A "neck rubbin" is the same concept, but is performed upon a lady's neck. This is more 'dangerous' and should only be indulged in with extreme caution as lips have a tendency to wander and perform other actions that close to a lovely lady's neck.

Mustaches in the New York Times

The article details the struggle of the mustache over the years and some of the famous faces it has graced. Most importantly, is the powerful explanation of why a man should grow a mustache.

Fun Photos of Men's Facial Hair

My friend Clark just sent me a link to these fun and amazing photos from Newsweek of men's facial hair.

The stories are entertaining, and the photos are awe-inspiring.

Thank you Clark - you darling man, for spoiling me so!

What do YOU think of the photos?

Scientific Fact: Men with Facial Hair are Best

An interesting study was done that has results that support what I have claimed for a long time. In an article titled “Women Prefer Men with Stubble for Love, Sex, and Marriage” by Roger Dobson, some interesting details about the study are revealed.

Faces of men with various stages of facial hair growth were shown to women who were then asked to rate them in terms of their perceived masculinity, potential as a long term partner, and social maturity, among other things.

The men who got the highest ratings were those who had light stubble. Clean-shaven men got the lowest ratings. The study was conducted with Brits, and the researchers plan to expand the study to include other countries as well.

I wonder how I can participate? Bearded men will definitely get higher marks with me than stubbly men, which leaves me wondering if in America I would be the exception or the rule?

So, as I have always said, men with facial hair are ultra sexy and desirable – and this study from England just proved it!
