Movember's Sexy Secret: Women Choose Staches Over Six-Packs
22 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Single women prefer men with facial hair over sculpted physiques.
- The outlaw moustache style ranked as the sexiest.
- Clean-shaven look ranked last, with only three percent of votes.

As Movember inspires men to grow impressive moustaches, new research suggests this facial hair trend is a major hit with single women. A survey of 2,500 UK women indicates a strong preference for men with moustaches over those with sculpted torsos, with seven in 10 women favoring facial hair.
The outlaw moustache, characterized by its shape that extends slightly past the corners of the mouth, emerged as the top choice, securing over a fifth of the votes. This style was notably associated with actor Pedro Pascal. Following closely were the classic chevron moustache, reminiscent of Tom Selleck, and stubble, which rounded out the top three.
This shift in preference signifies a move towards appreciating personality and character over conventional aesthetics. Dating experts suggest that moustaches convey confidence, maturity, and individuality, resonating with women seeking authenticity. Conversely, the clean-shaven look has fallen dramatically out of favor, ranking ninth out of ten.
