To think we've reached peak beard time.

[Vagabond]

Young men, with tightly woven, manicured beards, that have been trimmed within an inch of their lives. I find them quite unattractive and slightly pubey.
Do young women actually like these beards?

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

Quite like a bit of hair on the chest and when DP removed his downstairs hair, I just laughed. But hair on the back? No!!!

[Sparklingbrook]

Absolutely no to a hairy back.

[Sparklingbrook]

I do quite like a moderately hairy chest.

[TheStoic]

Love beards on men. LOVE THEM. Send all the bearded men to me.

[nolongersurprised]

I like beards. Pre DC I liked the pretty, skinny, androgenous type of look but now that I've grown up I do like a beard and chest hair. DH is sporting a beard and it suits him.

[user1471439240]

Beards - making ugly men semi shaggable when combined with skinnies, since 2012.

[IWouldLikeToSeeTheseMangoes]

Yeah there is the odd exception where someone really suits it but in general beards are very aging

[Sparklingbrook]

There are so many times I see a man with a beard and think there's a good looking man under all that lot, and probably a younger looking one too.

[BeingATwatItsABingThing]

Bleurgh! No! No! No! DP probably would grow a beard but I kick up a fuss at slightly too much stubble. His face is gorgeous! Why cover it with pubes?!?

[LadySaladinForge]

I've always had a thing for facial hair on blokes so the trend wasn't to bad for me.

BUT I much prefer grungy/metal beards than the over manicured 'perfect' hipster beards. Always have. Thankfully DP has this (complete with long hair).

Yeas, I too could give some of them a run for their money

Yes, I think Simon's a good example of someone whose beard makes his face look more defined

[bibbitybobbityyhat]

I hope we've reached peak beard. Was watching Graham Norton earlier. His full grey beard is so incredibly ageing.

[MistressDeeCee]

I can't stand those big achingly trendy oh Im so hip lumberjack beards. & they put me in mind of a face full of pube hair. I quite like a very neatly trimmed short beard tho

& those pics up there are rather nice...

[Amethyst81]

I think the full 'Irish terrier/foxhound" beard look is really boring now, its still popular down my way and all the young fellas have it, they all look the same, complete with coiffed side parting hairstyle and a sleeve of tattoos. I saw a young goth the other day and it was refreshing to see something different! I don't mind a short trimmed bit of stubble but surely those full beards are itchy and uncomfortable?

[tinkletinklelittlestar]

Well, I don't like mine.

[GuinefortGrey]

My dad had a beard his entire adult life... until he retired about 4 years ago and then he shaved it off just when beards actually became fashionable.

Even after 4 years he still doesn't look like "my dad" clean shaven, it's like he's forgotten to put his trousers on or something!

[thecatsarecrazy]

My sil boyfriend looks like this

[ClopySow]

I hate the beard trend. I've always been a big fan of rugged hairy men. I see facial hair and immediatly think phwoar the see the skinny jeans and tattoo sleeve and feel sad.

[Slipperywhippet]

This is slightly off on a tangent but to all the people who have a DP with a beard...Is there any truth in beards making certain activities better?

[Sparklingbrook]

Ooh Keep-nice pic. YY to clean shaven as far as JT is concerned.

[Wriggler79]

ExH thought it was a sign of being 'a man', however to anyone that saw him without one it was blatantly fucking obvious it was a sign of having no chin whatsoever and needing to cover up the fact. He also tried to make it all about Vikings. I hear from the kids he has a huge beard now and goes to the event where men with nothing better to do style their beards into the shape of things like boats.
He tried to convince me I was being unreasonable not to want to kiss him when his tache hung a good 1cm over his top lip. It makes me want to vomit when I see that on men.
DP likes to watch competitive eaters on Youtube (). There's one who makes a big thing about his beard on there. He's got the overhanging tache thing going on, it makes me gip. He's a waste of space. His girlfriend looks quite nice, you get the feeling she'll have had enough at some point though.

[KeepOnPlodding]

Sorry Sparkling it has to be clean-shaven!
