I don't usually read trash like esquire, but this was particularly well put imho:

>Kate Winick: Beards are an evolutionary LIE. They lend masculinity to the weak-chinned, gravitas to the inconsequential, and ruggedness to the totally useless. Ladies, protect yourselves! Do not fall prey to the mysterious-looking gentleman who looks as though he could lift your entire body under his arm and carry you off to a bed he built with his own two hands. His furniture is from Ikea, he knows nothing of vintage truck engines, and he most certainly does not have a country house where you'll make pancakes and walk around in his flannel shirts. Men who look good without beards should be proud of their bone structure, and men who look significantly better with beards should have to carry around a small card to warn you that your male children will be unattractive until they hit puberty.

Basically, if you are fat or have shit facial aesthetics, then go ahead and grow a beard since it'll make you look better by hiding your flaws.

Beards are out right now. Scientifically proven.

http://rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/4/20130958

>Women and men judged heavy stubble and full beards more attractive when presented in treatments where beards were rare than when they were common, with intermediate preferences when intermediate frequencies of beardedness were presented.

also, every pleb has one. at least the moustache hype a couple years back was only a thing in some indie crowds.

Face it. If your beard is in any way worn because you feel you look 'rugged' or 'manly' you are wearing the equivalent of a fedora.
Especially ostentatious ones.
If you feel it somehow enhances your features then proceed. But in general people always use them out of machismo and should therefore not bother.

I get what you mean mane, neckbeards from reddit wear fedoras to pursue "classiness" which is not at all linked to the aesthetic of the look/outfit. They're using a fedora as a compliment to their personality (they wear it to seem intellectual). Same goes for tumblr kids dying their hair blue or something to seem "edgy", forgetting about how they look.

Beards are the same among young internet people, they're growing and wearing beards not because they like the look of it on them, but because they're seeking that manliness image and "rough" personality linked to "rough" guys who happen to have a beard. If you post a faggot wearing/doing faggot stuff who happens to have a beard I doubt they would be rated so bad by the teenagers in this thread.

most people with a full beard have pic related, mustache cut right above the lip line, but with a beard that big, something feels wrong and just funny to look at.

I treat beards like I threat sub-cultures.

There was a thread about mod culture and you could tell the faggots in there were just interesting in the clothing of mod culture and not the actually dimensions of the culture itself. How can you be A when you only cover yourself in A? You have to change both the external and the internal.

Beards are similar. Neckbeard autist MLP people are even better then the person in OP. Because they actually COMMIT to the fucking lifestyle of being a neckbeard loser. These pseudo vintage lumberjack tattoo hipster looking mothefuckers grow beards to fit in a culture that's whole premise lies around looking like pseudo vintage lumberjack tattoo hipster looking mothefuckers.

In my personal opinion I don't see a single reason why an attractive man should wear a beard, unless he can't shave it.

In my not so personal opinion, I haven't seen a single fashion show featuring someone with a beard for AW14 (and I've watched quite a lot already).

I'm actually normally against beards, but I do a break up beard (every time a relationship ends), this time thought I decided I wanted to get long enough to get a braid going. Been doing this all summer and don't plan on stopping.

Actually it would hurt your test levels. Besides the only way to significantly increase test to a significant degree is to get test shots, which are controlled heavily and must be prescribed by a doctor. Taking test boosters and shit is a short term thing and some of them don't even work. Also beards heavily based on genetics and not test. Increasing your test will most likely cause you to have some severe acne breakouts.

Full beards are played out imo. Depends where you live I guess but everyone where Im at has some sort of scruff/beard going on. I used to have a full beard, even bought beard oils etc (cringey I know) but I shaved it off one day. These kinds of trends are pretty cyclical eventually they just reach a point of saturation where so many people are doing it that it just becomes more effort than its worth. I still have a little stubble but the full beard look is over IMO. Gone the way of the undercut and tattoos. I think styled facial hair is going to make a resurgence.

>capable of growing a great beard

Since growing a beard I've received more attention and compliments than ever before. I found a girlfriend who loves my beard and loves to touch it and would be fine with me never shaving. I'm really going to miss it.
The worst thing is that for the longest time I listened to those stupid men's magazines and websites who write about how women want or love clean-shaven men and who claim you can't get a decent job if you've got a beard. They write that at most men should have stubble. But I reckon that since I stopped listening to their bullshit my life improved dramatically.

Anyway I'm going to miss my beard but I'll definitely grow it out again when I find a job back in my home country. I think if you're capable of growing decent facial hair than you should at least give it a shot once in your life. Just stop giving a shit about what Men's Health or Esquire think and embrace the beard (no homo).

Growing a beard is genuinely one of the best things I've done in years. It's increased my confidence, it's made me able to talk to girls and have them come near me, it's made me go from a weird aspie to actually fitting in with real people.

You're right when you say that it's a myth when people say women prefer clean shaven and light stubble, it's clear that a beard (when done well) is still as popular as ever. That and you make other guys jealous by having it, especially if they struggle to grow one.

Hipsters aside, to me the reason is that it implies that person has the balls to do something that isn't necessarily the cultural norm. It's the whole thing about how if you want to get noticed by people you have to be unique in some way. A beard is that. In a sense.

Ok, so it's in vogue at the moment, but even then, how many people do you see who actually go for it? Not that many really. Most people just have the unshaven look rather than a real beard.

Growing a beard was, for me, a good decision. The high points were the increase in confidence, being more sociable as a result of the confidence, and having more female attention as a result of being more sociable.
