"Using annual data on British beard fashions extending from 1842-1971, the author found that mustaches, and facial hair in general, are more frequent when there is a good supply of single men of marriageable age." https://t.co/3IRTA5llir
Is this why mustaches have made a comeback? Data from 1842–1971 suggests mustaches are more frequent when there is a "good marriage market for women," ie there are plenty of single men of marriageable age. No info on the mullet resurgence, though. http
Ok so men grow mustaches in times of economic strife to signal masculine sex characteristics to women. No big deal. https://t.co/2IOpquYnjE https://t.co/uSRsG2utuT

Huh. A study of 150 years of British male facial hair found that men have more beards, moustaches & sideburns when they find it hard to get a partner. And that they shave them when it's easy to get a partner, presumably from a fear of desertion? https:

Sounds a touch over simplistic to me but assuming this is referring to this study https://t.co/oc8KIFxvLS it's only looking at British beards between 1842 to 1971. https://t.co/VM6SobenNB hypotheses that it's due to men trying to appear dominant to other m

"Men shave their mustaches, possibly to convey an impression of trustworthiness, when the marriage market is weak and women might fear sexual exploitation and desertion." https://t.co/t6iWU60mf6

a, vandaar. In landen met wettelijk geregelde veelwijverij zie je ook veel mannen met baarden. Daar worden ze langer, die baarden. https://t.co/lP9erarFWO
