Men with beards are smelly, scruffy and not to be trusted, says a poll of 2,000 women. They also reckon whiskers make a fella look older and lazy.

　　Eight out of 10 women said bearded blokes were a complete turn-off.

　　Only seven per cent would consider kissing a fella with facial hair.

　　One in five said the clean-cut look made a man more stylish, while half said a beard aged a man. A quarter said it made him look unhygienic and unkempt.

　　A spokeswoman for razor firm Bic, which carried out the poll, said: "If you want to impress a lady, growing facial hair is not the way to do it."
