Similarly one may ask, what does a goatee symbolize?
“Imagery often shows Pan or the Devil with a goatee,” says Allan Peterkin, the author of One Thousand Beards: A Cultural History of Facial Hair. The New New Goatee sometimes symbolizes brainy gravitas. This is most notable in Chuck Todd, NBC's chief White House correspondent.

A stubble is any length of hair which is long enough to be seen, but short enough to not fully cover the skin beneath. Facial hair growing from the chin directly beneath the mouth. This is meant to resemble the hair on the chin of a goat. Also called a "chin puff" or "chin strip". (Also see: goatee.)
Is a goatee attractive?
Goatees are DEFINITELY not cool or attractive. I'd much prefer clean shaven, or anything for that matter, to a goatee.
