i can grow a beard but i choose not to? I shave every three days because the most I like to have is some stubble.
Rather have people see my sexy facial structure than a big bush

>>9919816
confirmed for shit bone structure and bad genes
these beards are walking memes fucking normie

>>9919779
The aspect that most people hate about this is the combination of short sides with the large beard. That middle area is very awkward looking, it ruins the unkempt nature of a bearded man when you have to shave your head weekly, it's completely contrasting.

>>9919779
This needs to stop, but I like the idea of a beard. At the very least they should stop shaving the sides and slicking back so hard.

Are there any examples of different beard styles?

tired of these shit bush beards. pleb shit genes

fuck off

Question, is this haircut (or any variation of short sides/long top) acceptable without the beard?

>>9920886
yes

>>9919816

>this insecure loser actually hides his deformities behind a tangle of facial pubes

get blacked, cuck

>>9920920
Ok that's good. I have to follow some pretty specific hair regulations for my job, and the haircut pictured there is basically the most effay cut I can get while still remaining in those regulations.

I'm guessing the average age of beard detractors in this thread and board in general is 16-17. Either that or they just have bad genetics and can't grow a decent beard. There's no reasonable reason to be THIS fucking angry at natural facial hair growth. There really isn't. You can tell me "oh, I can grow a beard, I just choose to shave" and that still wouldn't justify you being so hateful towards, of all things, fucking facial hair.

>>9919979
>>Run away in shame
this is the part of your post where i knew you were /fa/

>>9920997
I'm 21 and am a "beard detractor." I can grow one, just personally don't think they look good. They look ok if it's not as massive as the one op posted, those look super try hard and meme tier ridiculous

>>9921061
Do you think before you type? Would you actually speak like this in public? If I were to ask you in real life what you thought about beards, would you be able to validate your reasoning without using buzzwords like "meme" and "tryhard"?

>>9921097
Fair question, but an equally fair question is do you get this buttmad in public?

>>9921097
Irl I would say I think these big bushy beards are ugly as shit and looks ridiculous.
Or that they're hoping on a shitty trend

>>9921140
No, because normal people that I interact with on a daily basis do not speak or get so hilariously upset over trivial nonsense the way you and some others do over their facial hair preference.

>>9921097
Lol you must have a shit facial structure so you hide it behind an ugly meme beard

It's absolutely fucking retarded. It's usually wanna be alpha cunts who think having a beard makes them a man. Or effeminate fags who want to be /fa/.
It's like all the faggots suddenly woke up and thought, being a faggot is acceptable? NO WAY MAN, I'm unique, I'm going to be manly as fuck and grow a lumberjack beard, even though I'm a massive bender

>not shaving one a week
fucking plebs, hope on the new trend already

>ppl being elitist about shaving

>>9922627
most not good though

only a fraction of men can actually grow an aesthetically pleasing, uniformly full beard

I only have a beard because i 'm balding and have a buzzcut :( im not a trend hopper guys I swear.

>>9922785
who cares what we think

bitches love it

>>9922785
So, you're LITERALLY a knob head? A tiny fat erect penis with pubes on the bottom?

Just kidding, I feel being bald/balding is an excellent excuse for a beard/facial hair.
>im balding as well

Y'all pissed cause ya can't grow a full beard with no effort like I can.

Not him, but you're an ass for letting that fly over your head. Every man who doesn't have access to shaving tools grows a beard, that is the natural appearance of man. Denying the beauty in that is naively comical.

Then a bunch of people decided to use blades to keep their faces bare. That's been the dominant trend. Beards can look great but they're harder to patiently grow and maintain, its just most dudes who can grow facial hair aren't man enough to handle it and it handles them.

First post in this thread - but wtf why does /fa/ hate beards? Like the whole slick back side shave hipster shit I hate too but seems like you guys really fuckin hate beards like just in general (I don't have a beard atm but sometimes I let it grow out, suits me at a good length)

>>9922814
iktf.. I had a huge 8 month old homeless looking beard that was really red and I had to shave it because I found the general beard culture to be annoying as fuck.

>"sick beard my brother!"

>>9922869

>beard culture

Are you autistic?

It's just a fucking beard holy fuck.

>>9922863
because when you see something too much it becomes a meme. so many hacks are walking around getting le hipster cred for looking like a lumberjack. it's a shit meme that needs to die.

>>9922863

It's 'cuz /fa/ is mostly edgy 17-19 year old faggots slobbering on rick owen's dick.

>>9922883
what if i dont do that trendhopping shit and i just have a nice beard

>>9922878
>It's just a fucking beard holy fuck.

I know, I feel the same way. Unfortunately though, being 23 and having a big beard means that every single fucking person is going to make some retarded comment when you see them. It gets annoying af after the 6th month of hearing the same 6 comments repeatedly.

generation y is cancer. they don't know how to be men so when their biology grows them a beard they get all hyped up and it becomes fedora tier autism when they see eachother. *tips meme beard* i want off this shit planet full of memeing retards.

>>9921182
You have shit reading comprehension, buddeh

>>9922896

Never happens to me. I usualy just get a few compliments and that's that. No jokes.. No comments. No annoying questions. It might be because I look aggressive.

>>9922902
>it becomes fedora tier autism when they see each other

This is what I was referring to >>9922878
These random faggots would approach me at bars and stuff and try to talk to me solely about beards. 90% of the time they were nice/cool it just got old after a while.

>>9922911

i think even the plebs are starting to realise how fukking dumb it looks. the beardy twats will probably be gone in a year or so, enjoy sniggering at them while you can

But beard is ugly unless you are 50 or more, and combined with an undercut it's just... wow.

>>9920773
Side burns are always shit, those people are telling you to get rid of them

shave them

I feel like lots of you simply just hang out with the wrong people and project their behaviour on the rest of said 'bearded population'.

If you're constantly surrounded by 'fedora tier beard culture douchebags', that might actually say something about your own personality and/or vibes you're giving off.

i understand the hate towards the idea of 'beard culture' and these massive beards with an undercut and slicked back hair. this is indeed a trend.

what i dont understand is the disdain for beards in general, separate of the bacon/craft beer ordeal.

basically this (>>9922862). it is the natural appearance of man.

>>9923298
the crazy thing is beard people actually believe this lol

I don't mind the beard but I'm pretty sick of the shaved sides slicked back hair + beard combo.

No /fa/-girl is actually attracted to bearded scum, who cares about normalfags.

best post in thread
enjoyed reading but it so fucking polar of a discussion almost noone really looked at the issue from this angle. the slickback-yeard-look is totally overplayed and maybe a way for goofy looking guys to achieve a manly/badass look, thus an easy target for all the cheeky nandos to hate on. i myself am growing my hair out and have to put my hair back as well because i reached the "awkward" stage between mullet and 90's grunge length. Plus, a beard which i also intend to grow out until the end of the year(d).

>>9921164

This thread is reaching top tier autisim. The only irl meme they should be worried about is those sailor tats. At least you can grow your hair and shave a beard.

Dudes who hate on other dudes who have beard only hate because grills love beards nowadays.

Beard is a certain style anyway, especially if it's like OP-pic.

>>9924625
why are you projecting so much

this whole thread is about whether beards look good, my opinion is that they sometimes can.

my opinion is also they some people, like the people i described, cant pull off a beard. i hate seeing it because they have a beard just because its the popular thing to do AND it looks bad on them.

being able to grow a beard is like having not evolved from fucking monkeys at all

>>9924642

>>9924652
I doubt many people are doing it "because it's popular." Maybe you see it more these days because information is being spread like crazy, but I can guarantee that beards were always "popular." Those kids are just doing what they feel like. Every man should try to grow out a beard at least once in their life.

You've got some fucked up ideas about masculinity if you think something as arbitrary as having the genetics to grow a beard automatically makes you manlier than those who can't; a real man wouldn't save all those pictures just to validate his style choices on a Mongolian knitting image board. You're literally as bad as the fat cunts over at tumblr who claim only real women have curves, maybe even worse. Fucking christ man.

Grow a beard by all means, but make sure you aren't a mid-twenties city dweller whose biggest struggle is getting tattooed all over your body. Justify it by actually having a difficult job or wait until you are actually an adult (e.g over 35).

the true true

The beard 'trend' is at peak plebosphere right now.
Given they take so long to grow, I imagine there'll be stragglers for a good few years.
But the treatment of beards is just embarassing. Even I'm guilty of it, casually laughing and saying 'Great beard!' when I don't even mean it. It only encourages the late bandwagoners. Worse still are those that think it is the measure of manliness.
As someone said before, it is a fedora for your face.

The only kind of beards I like are the white ones old rich dudes grow when they stop giving fucks.
Beards are inherently fuzzy due to th texture of the hair, so they have a relaxed look and make sense in a relaxed context.

These people pairing them with pompadours are treating them as a phallic symbol. May as well start walking with a cane while chewing on a cigar. These guys would be wearing fedoras or peaked caps if they were so eager to thrust their quiffs forward. It's crude.

Jeff Lebowsky looks alright in a beard. It's way more congruent than the phallus collector's way of wearing one.

>>9935145
*weren't

Beards were a mistake

The beards can go for all I care, but that short-sides-high-top undercut is the best thing to happen to male hair in a while. When done right, it's just naturally flattering to most men since it makes their faces appear more square. Definitely a big step up over shitty short gel spiked hair, faux mohawks, or overgrown-sides-and-shit-on-top that everyone used to rock in the early to mid 00's.

>>9935271
first one, just because my beard gets thick instead of long

though if your natural hair growth is stylish, you can get away with just about anything

Beards are definitely trending right now; yes, i get that they grow naturally and so, but the point is, most males are letting their beards grow these days, that's undeniable and why it is "trendy" right now.

And another thing to point is, most men also have shitty beards: bald spots, shitty coverage, bad styling etc. The list of mistakes males do about it is big. While the man in op's picture is very memey, he actually has a pretty damn good beard; few men can grow one at such an age. People may bitch all they want but his beard genes are sick. Even a stubble does wonders to give a more masculine look even on men with good jawlines.

Lumberjack culture indeed is pretty fucking cringey, with all these urban nerds who never did a blue-collar work on their life getting sailor tats, big beards, plaid shirts, craft beer on the hand, the whole package, forcing that masculine appeal you know. It will eventually. But beards won't, since you can have one while not partaking in such subcultures.

To sum up: lumberjack hipster culture is gay; low-test fuccboi culture (who infest this board) bitching about beards is gay too; beards won't die since they grow naturally just like hair but the bigger ones like op will probably go out of style someday.

>>9919779

Sorry you have to hear it from me, but in 30 years, there will be (almost) no atheists and no leftists anymore. Because those people don't reproduce and haven't done so for several decades. this will all die out during the next decades.

Instead, you can look forward to a majority of conservative and religious people - those are the ones that actually reproduce.
