Sad times...

Hirsute men have been warned their attractiveness to potential partners may fade as facial hair becomes more prevalent, in a scenario researchers have called โ€œpeak beardโ€.

Research conducted by the University of NSW finds that, when people are confronted by a succession of bearded men, clean-shaven men become more attractive to them.

MILLIONS of men are about to pretend a shaving accident caused them to remove their beard.

โ€œIt got burned off by the embers of an expensive cigarโ€
After the UK reached beard saturation point when one of Boyzone got one, men are desperate to remove their facial hair without appearing to be weak-willed fashion victims.

God damnit, I was about to make a thread on evidenced based beardyness/attractiveness at work based on this.

Whoever the **** gave these guys grants to do that study, needs to take a long hard look at their financial priorities.

Imagine writing the grant proposal....lol

Mine's a bit pointy, but it's definitely not a 'peak' as such.

Research conducted by the University of NSW finds that, when people are confronted by a succession of bearded men, clean-shaven men become more attractive to them.

This process also works in reverse, with men with heavy stubble and full, Ned Kelly-style beards judged more attractive when present in a sea of hairless visages.

Women in "we want whatever it is that we haven't got" shocker. ๐Ÿ™„

(It's just commentary, don't go reading any bitterness into that) ๐Ÿ˜‰
