Researchers from the Australia have found that the world may have reached ‘Peak Beard’ It seems that the popularity of facial hair among Hipsters, Lumberjacks and Outlaw Motorcyclists means that beards are no longer unusual enough to be attractive.
In the study, researchers found that when test subjects were shown a succession of clean-shaven men followed by individuals sporting light stubble through to Darwin-esque face-fuzz, it was the second group that rated more attractive.
However, the opposite was also true, and when the test subjects were shown a succession of photos of men with facial hair followed by clean shaven men, it was the un-bearded individuals that were deemed better looking.
Novelty, it seems, is key to the attractiveness of beards. Either way, 'Peak Beard' (like 'Peak Oil’) is a real problem - think of the children and act before it’s too late.
