To think we've reached peak beard time.

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?

Surely it's time for the tache to make a comeback now. We're in Germany where you can't move for them - ugly as sin but that's part of the attraction isn't it?

sparkling there will be gullible fools who buy that though Grin Obviously regular shampoo for the hair on top of your head just doesn't cut it. No pun intended.

Has anyone noticed that the surge of popularity of the beard, and indeed beard size, has a direct correlation to the demise of female pubic hair?! As more young women seem to favour the fully bald look, men's faces get hairier. It's a curious relationship. I reckon that when these beards are no longer hip, the bush will be back with a vengeance. Trend forecaster moi.

But of course sparkling Wink Now picturing a bearded man saying seductively "Because I'm worth it."

Don't come to Essex. Small boys with man buns. Beards on every second man. Skin tight cropped trousers. Brown loafers. Shirt and tweed waistcoat.

I think peak beard was about two years ago

I'd say peak beard was when Tom Cruise got together with Katie Holmes.

DH looks better with a beard. It gives his face definition and makes him look more rugged. But we're middle aged so it's more sexy Geography teacher than hipster.

His theory is that for lots of people the beard thing started with Movember, and men realising that they looked better or liked not having to shave every day. Could not have been more surprised when the whole hipster beard craze started

Apparently young women do like them and man buns. They have no taste.

In London I think the beards are getting more numerous even though people talk of peak beard
I hate them all on any age
I particularly hate the comedy ones that seem to be popular

I have one colleague who looks like a walrus

And one who I'm wondering if his beard is stick on, short but still seems to appear and disappear at odd times
His head hair is silver grey and his beard is dark brown

I LOVE beards on men - it's so sexy and masculine. I came of age in the 2000s when it was all waxed chest skinny jeans wearing pretty boys. Blech.

Give me a nice hairy chap any day!
