We've hit "peak beard," it seems. :D

According to Science, Beards Are Just About to Start Becoming Unpopular

By: Chris O'Shea

Attention hipsters and men in general: We have reached peak of beard popularity. It's over. The beard trend has been going strong for years, but you can mark it's on a downward slide. In a new study, researchers in Australia found that while women still love beards, the more there are, the less attractive they become. We have saturated the face of the human male with hair, and now we're paying the price.

The reason for beard overload? It's evolution, actually. The team — led by professor Bob Brooks — found that hairy men are up against something called "Negative frequency-dependent selection." This is a term that refers to the evolutionary process where the attractiveness of something is dependent on its popularity. In other words, the more often something occurs in nature, the less we desire it. How fitting is this, by the way? Beards, the mark of the hipster, have been declared dead because they're popular, a term that makes most hipsters melt into a puddle of flannel and suspenders.

Clean-shaven is never unfashionable, and it has the benefit of annoying all sorts of extreme religious types.

This is true. Still, I do envy the blokes who can pull off perfect, no-tangle, sheeny, almost flawless Jesus-quality beards.

See I could have told you guys this was coming. As soon as I start doing something it is immediately no longer the cool thing to do.
 
I'd love to take a match and some lighter fluid to those bad boys. The high pitch screaming would induce definite moistening.
 
Where I live beards are just a way of life, unless you need to do a fit test.
 
I wish I could grow one, but I just can't get the crazy mountain man look I want out of it.

The AZN genetics make it too much like a horse mane, little too straight, lil silky looking, zero burl on it.

No burl on the beard = :( mountain man.

It would be awesome for a pei mae though who was a mountain man in his own right...and unarguably as gangster.

Which I might do when I get a little older just for fun....I mean it would be fun to tie a PBR can in one of those when I go to SF just to fuck with the hipsters.

that's great, but i don't care. i have a beard because i don't like shaving and i've had it since well before it was cool. being "uncool" will not make my beard disappear.

Oh I don't shave LOL not once since I left the military. I run clippers over it on a 0 guard every few days because I'm vain and I know the kind of beard my face grows doesn't work for me....at all. But no shaving...that shit is horrible.
 
i run clippers over mine only when i feel like it.

which isn't often.

though i did buzz it down to stubble recently. it was the first time in like three months, maybe.
 
The beard stays. Nobody would recognize me without it. Shaving and cutting my hair short are my emergency backup plan in case I need to pull a major casino heist and fade away into the crowd.
 
you might want to trim the mustache a bit or learn to enjoy food without melty cheese and/or sauces.
 
it's alright for cheap, shitty beer.

and i just made myself remember schaefers. also, a cheap, shitty beer. less than three bucks a six back in the day.
 
i've never had a PBR.

I've had one, it wasn't terrible I wouldn't like pay for it, or drink it by choice. But if it was PBR or Bud Lite, or Budweiser, or Coors Lite. I'd go with PBR. So better than piss-water, not so bad I would refuse to drink it if somebody else was paying.
 
Honestly, I kinda like PBR. It's nothing special, just an American lager. It's not complex, just easily drinkable. On tap out is much better than in a can, but that goes for all beers.
 
And I would still have my full beard if I wasn't trying to get hired on at some professional type places.


I also had mine long before it was trendy and hip.
