Beard length
Beard length is determined by the rate of growth vs the rate of loss. Most people reach a terminal length where these two rates are balanced and no additional length is acuired. The photos of men with extermely long beards are abnormal. The typical beard does not grow that long.
I myself have had a beard for 6 years. At about 4 years of growth, I reached a terminal length where my beard stays the same length.

Now if you could demonstrate that if by attaching an artificial beard to an otherwise passable woman you would make her more attractive to men, or at least that men would be neutral in their selection with respect to this variation, then you'd have a point.
