Beards are to hide your weak chin and weak jawline.

>>14757787
Long beard, dyed hair and wife beater is the ultimate cringe
CrossFit pls leave
And pls eat some carbs

>>14757790
>>14757791
>>14757792
Not a single one of you has ever grown a beard. You don't know what it means to have one. What it means to be proud of your own facial hair.

>>14757810
Okay chinlet

Beards are for fat guys to hide their face fat

>>14757813
>>14757816
The cope is real. Stop making excuses. Grow a real beard.

>>14757819
I don’t want to hide my face shape

>>14757810
My ass
I pulled full blown Jesus Christ for easily 5 years
Beards are now cringe, because both incels and metrosexuals took them to cringe levels
There's nothing spiritual about your beard other than being kind of insecure about your face or your masculinity

>>14757831
It's not about "hiding your face". Let me try to explain this to you. The beard doesn't just improve the faces of those without a chin. Trust me, if you have a good chin, you're gonna look great with a beard.

>>14757833
>letting other people dictate whether you should have a beard.

You're only proving my point. Beards are natural, they also look great if you take care of them.

>>14757846
Lol it’s funny how you’re talking about natural yet that guy is on mega roids

>>14757848
Admittedly it was not a great image. But still.

>>14757819
Show us your glorious beard then (with a timestamp).

>>14757846
That's even worse
If you put that garbage on your beard, you are part of the problem
How was your wod today?

>>14757938
It looks pretty patchy. It's nothing compared to the pics you showed us of other guys with breads albeit it's not too bad.

>>14757787
The long beard is dead. Time to go back to <1 inch. It takes way less work to take care of, and you don't look like youre stuck in 2017

>>14757938
Looks like me from 2 years ago. Eat less. Anorexia does wonders for our body (because we're the same person)

>>14757929
>Weak thinspo fags detected
Coping fatty detected. I'm not a skelly, I go lift 3 times a week. Stop munching burgers, you're ugly.

>>14757963
>It takes way less work
no, you have to trim it everyday
i have a long beard and don't do shit with it except comb it once in a while

>>14757983
Lifting 3 days a week is fucking nothing lmao I hope you’re doing hour long cardio for the other 2 days otherwise you’re yes you’re indeed a weak faggot

>>14757997
Ah yes, cardio, known for building strength. I do swim 2 times a week as well, but that's more for cardiovascular fitness than anything else. 3 times a week is more than enough when you do a full body workout, which is what I do and what is also extremely common. There is in fact no significant difference in muscle gain after 2x a week training frequency, assuming total volume is equalized. Maybe try stepping in a gym for yourself for a change, so you don't have to humiliate yourself online.

>>14757997
I mean at least he's not fat

>>14758003
I mean most boxers don’t lift weights at all and strictly do cardio every single day yet they would shit on your “Strength building” in a fight so yeah enjoy deluding yourself into thinking your wasting your time doing anything beneficial

How do I cope with having no beard connectors? Even if I grow the corners of my mustache longer to cover the empty spots it looks like shit.

>>14758100
Is it really that bad? Have you tried just letting it grow for a month?

>>14758100
Just shave and lose weight

>>14757938
>this is someone who you discuss "fashion" with

>>14758032
Stop outing yourself as a lazy slob who never worked out in his life. Every professional athlete does strength conditioning, especially MMA fighters and boxers.

>>14758150
the only real time boxers/fighters lift weights is if theyre planning to fight in a higher weight class than their currently are since theyll build muscle to increase weight in the processs. having bigger muscles in fighting is a detriment becuase bigger/more muscles means more energy required to throw punches which tires you out faster and makes you slower. thats why the main focus of fighting training is cardio and being able to make it to the final rounds. lifting weights doesnt build fast twitch muscle fibers needed for fighting sports, it makes you slow

>>14758172
Strength training builds fast twitch muscle fibers (as opposed to cardio which builds slow twitch muscle fibers) which is precisely why every boxer does strength training in some way or another. It's amazing with how much confidence pseuds will spread their idiocy.

>>14757986
>trim it everyday
No, you trim it once every week or two, and you can use an electric razor with a guard, instead of free-handing a razor or using scissors like you do with a big beard. (I had a long beard, trimming it sucked, so I never trimmed it)

>>14758176
no boxer does push ups for strength training, they do it for endurance training. how would lifting any free weight be helpful to being able to punch fast and on average about 500 times in 15 minutes? the only time a fighter would ever use weights is using 1 pound hand weights while shadowboxing

>>14758176
He is clearly autistic, stop arguing with him.

>>14758172
By the way, for some detail, I never fought professionally, only did amateur martial arts, but even we were trained in a mixture of speed, power and cardio. It's for example very important to build a strong core to protect yourself from kicks and punches and thus you will engage in a variety of core building exercises, not just crunches but also back raises, squats, deadlifts. Triceps and chest exercises are also very important, so the OHP, bench press, dips were utilized a lot. This and much more.

>>14758191
You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Stop pretending like you know things and just admit you're talking out your ass.

>>14758204
oscar de la hoya, one of the greatest boxers, never lifted weights

>>14758208
That's straight up a lie, lmao. Please stop posting.

>>14757892
lol shit beard

>>14758223
And here from an interview with the man himself:

Q: Anything different about your preparation for this particular fight? You said Quartey is peligroso--dangerous--always coming at you.

A: Oh, yeah. My physical workout has to change completely--my weight training. My last fight we didn’t train the body to be strong, to have power. We trained the muscles to tone up, yes. This time we have to train ‘em to bulk up, get stronger. So that’s going to be a big difference.

*

Q: So what changes with the weights?

A: Less reps and more weight.

And that goes for the rest of you as well. I might be fat. But at least I had the balls to post what I actually looked like.
No one here has a right to judge me unless they actually post how they look.

>>14758414
I'm just saying, theres a lot of people saying I look like shit. But I don't see a lot of other people offering up how they look. They might look even worse, who knows?

>>14758422
They don't post their pics because they don't seek validation from random online strangers and are also not dumb enough to post a pic of themselves on a forum associated with Nazism.

>>14758429
I posted a picture because someone asked me to retard.

>>14758422

Beards are for modern men who are so emasculated that they have to simulate manhood by accumulating symbols of masculinity. They have to cosplay men. They're male drag kings.

These hairballs probably own straight razors, because it's the manliest thing to not shave your beard with.

>>14757787
Beards have been popular this entire decade you moron, and wtf are you on about "they're not marketable". An entire industry has sprung up surrounding beard grooming and care.

Stubble is the ultimate sign of masculinity
You get to show off your facial bone structure and the ability to grow a full beard
Most people who grow full beards are just hiding their weak profiles and facial features

>>14757810
Post yours anon

>>14758491
Or they're paranoid about facial recognition and the ubiquitous cameras of the panopticon

>>14757787
The horseshoe mustache is the ultimate masculine facial hair. Unlike a beard which hides your weak chin, to rock a horseshoe you have to have the ability to grow a full beard, AND have a chin that won't look pathetic while exposed. A beard is a cope for men with bad faces. Horseshoe mustaches have been replaced instead by super feminine males desperate to cover their weak chins and jawlines with hair. It's literally contouring– like females do with makeup– but with hair.

A horseshoe mustache. Thick facial hair, exposed chin. Maculinity perfected. It shows off your strong male facial features, and your strong male facial hair. Most corporations don't want you to have a horseshoe, because it's not marketable. Because horseshoe mustaches are intimidating. Because it's manly. I wish more men weren't scared to shave their chin and let their mustache grow. I wish men could be free to show how manly they truly are as much as they want. But you've fallen for the emasculation propaganda.

>>14758853
aka the gay mans mustache

>>14757787
I will take the bait
>The beard is dying
They have been saying that for 10 years now

>Most corporations don't want you to have a beard
I was an intern in a company that employs 5000+ people, and almost all the lower management dudes in their 30s had medium to long beards, I know the evidence is anecdotal but even I believed the statement before that
If you have a weak jawline like me, grow it, if you base your entire personality like a lot of dudes do, kys

What are you talking about you retarded pol guy? Everyone has beards. All those feminine males you guys hate have beards.

Yeah thats why we have a massive industry growing for specifically beard growth, right? That's why society has allowed you to have this train of thought, right? That's why you can find so many models with beards, right?
You're a fucking sheep. You're a clown.

>>14757790

>>14759331
Yeah I've had success with it. Been on for about 8 months and the majority of my hair is now terminal. I have a few areas that are still kind of thin, and I have one patch that's about the size of my pinky tip. When I first started using it I could grow a moustache, goatee, sideburns, and a little hair on my left jaw. I now have had full coverage for 5 months or longer now. I keep it shorter than 5 mm cus the one time I tried to grow it I found it too thin for my liking. Will grow it again when I'm ready.

>>14758859

>>14757787
I don't understand why /fa/ hates beards so much and saying beards is chinlet/jawlet cope but they also judge bald people while you can argue that hair is gay alien skullet cope. I feel like anyone who aren't after eboy faggy aesthetics are being called copers in this board these days

>>14760399
I've been here irregularly since 2010. The board's demographic has really shifted since then and most of the old guard has abandoned this place long ago. You see remnants of it here and there with the occasional ironic Rickposter, but that's about it. Nowadays we have this weird mix of Redditors who think this is /r/mfa and autistic zoomers. I can say with absolute confidence I haven't seen a decent fit by one of the posters here in years.

>>14760415
4chan in general is getting shittier and shittier everyday. I don't really know, perhaps we're growing old, or maybe these cringe normie zoomers really ruined this place. I think the latter is probably true cause I'm still only 22 years old and I've been on this board since I was underage

>>14760399
Unironically reddit and TikTok Zoomers.

>>14760432
People claim /pol/ ruined 4chan, and while it left its mark, I think /soc/ put the nail in the coffin. You see it on /fa/ particularly well, because fashion is on a very fundamental level about communicating an identity, but on other boards such as /lit/ as well: they're being dominated and swarmed by zoomers who are in their late teens and early 20s and are in that phase of their life where you build an identity for yourself, and thus are more interested in maintaining appearances and discussing superficialities rather than substance. I say /lit/ because almost no genuine discussion about literary content happens there anymore, nowadays it's all "what philosophy do you follow?" and "what books make me seem /lit/?", which is a stark contrast to several years ago.

>>14760437
Ah, I remember that /pol/ wave across this board, posting on /int/ was annoying back then. I get your point, nowadays this place filled with zoomers who are seeking validation and sometimes they're doing so by judging someone's look. Trolls were always existed but people were usually backed their insults with solid argument or memes which actually holds advices, or at least funny. I think the rise of inceldom contributes to this a lot, or it's the other way? I can't really tell

>>14760389

>>14760450

I remember acting exactly like these zoomers when I first came here when I was 16 back in 2013
I miss actual fashion discussion and good waywt
Nowdays all I see are endless arthoe threads, eboy threads, those ezra threads that belong on /lgbt/ and beard/tattoo/apple(wtf) hate threads
And either more girls started visiting, or they have become more attention hungry
/blogpost

>>14760498
Shut the fuck up nigger

>>14760498
The girls started visiting because 4chan actively allowed for beta worship to foster on /soc/ and other boards. In short, zoomers are cucked.

>>14760556
What exactly got you mad nigger?

>>14760498
It's because they grew up on instagram and tumblr so they only know how to post like they're on instagram and tumblr.

>>14758908
Ha I had an internship in a advertisement company, quite small but worked for all bigger companys in town as well as the neighbour towns, anyway the boss told me to shave my beard he does not want costumers think muslims work for his company. Better times back then.

>>14760498
Well I have never went to this place for seeking attention/validation cause I have realised that I don't belong in normalfag groups back then anyway. I visit this place for memes, cool clothings, various cool-looking guys and girls aesthetics, worthy fashion discussion that actually improved my social and romantic life, etc. Now it's filled by things you've mentioned, I mean who the fuck is ezra anyway? Also don't forget incel, lookism, and blackpill threads with all those negativities. This board was never been really 'kind' but back then this board was the place for ugly guys to improve their looks and being comfortable on their own skin, now zoomers are trying to eliminate ugly guys from this board lmao

>>14760591
IDk bout that, the "If you're ugly why even try" threads have been here since the very start

>>14760596
I know but I feel like back then it was like a meme, you rarely see a poster who reeks of depression like these days

>>14760608
That's only because it was before dating apps so even if you were ugly you knew how to talk to people more or less. Todays Incel is yesterdays turbo incel. It's like that picture of "The worlds fattest man" in the 40s being smaller than the average american these days.

It's like that but with social ineptness. They literally have no idea how to ask someone out unless it's over social media. So when someone calls them worthless they actually, really do believe it.

>>14757813
is this photo-shopped?

I hate beards, well more like I hate wearing a beard, I have very fast growing hair, so I already have a little beard 3 days after having shaven it off to 0.

>>14760612
>dating apps
Ah yeah, imagine consumed by these. Online dating is a meme and I don't live in a country where dating apps are very popular so maybe I kinda underestimated the problems of these zoomers in the west. Still shouldn't behave like shit tho

>>14757787
No, it's because no manly men are actually wearing beards, because there are no manly men. So when you meet these guys, they're a fucking joke. And that's not to even begin talking about the (j)oyboy 3rd wave male feminists who do rock beards on their star wars tlj youtube podcasts or instagrams.

>>14760495

>>14760622

Damn am I really that ugly?

hate to ask it here because thread's such a shitshow but I don't think it really deserves its own thread. My girlfriend complains that my beard is very scratchy but insists that I don't shave it because she likes playing with it and how it looks. I've been washing it with this beard wash I got from the drug store but it still feels silly to me that beards require a special shampoo/soap to get clean. Anyway I'm not sure it's actually done much for the softness.

TLDR my beard is too scratchy for my girlfriend, how do I make it soft? Would normal hair conditioner work? pic unrelated

I shave because I have an actual jawline. Whenever I see bearded men all I can think of is soi cope

I have a beard sometimes but all these fags mythologizing facial hair are most unlikely unbearable BACON AND BEER assholes or fat losers who think they're traditional despite still not knowing what to do with their lives at 30

>>14764323
Hm yes these are clearly the thoughts of your average rational citizen.

>>14757787
Where have you been for the past decade? Beards are completely marketable and popular, you can buy a zillion kinds of beard oils and beard thickening shit.

lol this fucking thread.

A beard is not a replacement for a personality.

All these dudes look like Hugh Jackman but y'all think all you need is the beard and not the effort of exercise and styling to back it up.

REAL QUESTION HERE...

Why do they open the mouth? Why every single idiot from college has this kind of pictures opening the mouth in their fb?

>>14764488
They try to look "friendly" and "welcoming". They try to make it as silly as they can because they're coping for how ugly they are so they try to make it look goofy.

>>14764255
Beard oil and beard balm. Comb it in by pressing the bristles straight against your skin to drive the oil all the way through the beard.
