Poll: Peak Beard: It's now ok to panic

This is not a test people, this is the real deal. It appears we, as a society, have reached Peak Beard. How foolish we were to think that those halcyon days of hirsute frivolity, gayly dancing around trees with axes in hand and being able to carry around lunch on your face would never end.

Now we must accept our fate, that beards will no longer be that guarantee to smash any given pasty that takes our bearded fancy. If we could all hold hands and join together in a moment of silence to mark this monumental occasion, it would be much appreciated. We all know what is coming next - Peak Fedora.

Can a mod add a poll? I want to know how many people here genuinely have neckbeards and/or read The bloody Guardian.

You'll still be sexy to me, Skidder. Peak Beard or not.

What I find funny are douches who have beards yet wax/shave all the other hair from their body.

We still don’t really know the primary function of the beard,” Brooks said. “Some women are attracted to it, some are repelled. It is clear it is a sign of manliness, it makes men look older and also more aggressive. How much women like that depends, in a way, on how overtly masculine they like their men.

Women that claim not to like beards, are wrong and just don't know it yet.

You sod, I had to close the tab and read a depressing story on BBC to get a straight face back after seeing that. Giggling like a moron in the office.

ahh, and now to wait for all the fashionista's to shave off their beards in response to this threat tipping the balance back in my favour!

or alternately i could not care, quantum uncertainty prevents me from disclosing which opinion is the most accurate

Could say the same about beardless folk with hairy armpits. Man or Woman, hairy pits are ghastly.

I wonder if I filled a nosebag with Regaine and harnessed it to my chin, could I gain possession of a manly beard...

I'll admit finding it massively off-putting in women, but men shaving their armpits?! Do you shave your legs too?

I'm 25 nearly and still can't grow a beard

But I have a fiance and a child on the way so my child like face has somehow succeeded.

 

[Ingenious TROLL]

I was born with a beard. It's never coming off!

 

[Eurofighter]

Don't like beards anyway.

Heathen! Blasphemy!

Social media, gutter tabloid influenced society we have here.

 

[LOAM]

We need to find a more sustainable source of beard, passive beard even!

Beards are for life.
