Depends where you grow the beard.

Definitely or definitely not. Not entirely sure. Sorry.

Maybe, if you grow it while in a gay bar.

If you are sucking a guy's dick while you are growing it then they might think you're a bit gay.

Absolutely.

Every second person in their twenty's has one now. They are quite popular in America and the UK. But you never really see someone from mainland Europe with one

Grizzly has a nice one, he only grew it out after 30 though. I hate 20 sumthing gobsheens sporting weird beards/fluff.

Clean shaven is the new beard growing.

A lot of my female people have a dislike for facial hair.

I believe its a good thing to have if you are considering a career as a Trade Union leader.

I kind of liked Russell Crowes one in the film Noah, didn't think much if the film though.

Actually just had a good idea..if we get enough people on board then we can change the name of this site to beards.ie ?!?

Thinking of getting rid of mine, everyone has one nowadays, some people even have two or three so they can sport a different look on alternate days.

Seeing as you're the kinda of man who looks for approval to grow a beard, maybe you shouldn't grow a beard.

In fact are you even really a man?

Either that or I'm a woman with a very serious facial hair problem.

I was only shaving once a month. Was out last weekend and half the guys had a beard. That was it for me.

My beard was due to laziness and not a "fashion statement". Since then I've shaved every 2 days and it will stay like that.

No beard for me for a long long time.

Be original and DON'T grow one.

Hande hoche!

Grow a fu manchu.

Never go for the neckbeard look. Beloved of 'competitive gamers' and grown men who read comics.

Don't think so. Sonny had a decent tache back in the day.

Jesus!

Lot of nonsense fired out these days on why growing a beard is somehow the height of masculinity. When it really isn't. It just happens if you don't shave. In fact, one could argue that a good shaving routine and regular grooming is a far more gentlemanly pursuit than growing the type of whispy and ugly beard so popular these days. Looking like a hobo isn't a good image.

No. It's not like you need a degree in metaphysics to grow one. You just don't shave for a while. Most of them look so tatty and unkempt; downright unattractive to be honest.

It's called Feminist Studies actually.

You'll fall into one of four categories

1. Ironic Hipster
2. Obese Neckbeard
3. Hardy looking woodcutter.
4. Unkempt and scruffy looking dole-scrounger

Its most likely you won't fall into category 1 as most of the hipsters are all now shaving their ironic facial hair because so many other people have beards now (as evidenced by people shaving their beards "because everyone has one now :rolleyes: ")

If you enjoy late-night gaming sessions, arguing with people online about religion, heavy-metal music, and have a chain attached to your wallet, then I'm afraid you're going to fall into category 2.

If you are in your mid-30s to late 40s, built like a brick ****house, are about 6ft 3 or higher, have large shovel-like hands, then you might just pull it off and fall into this category. People who fall in here are Dan Balezarian and Gordon D'Arcy. Most neckbeards think they fall into this category, but are merely deluded.

If you don't fall into any of those categories then I'm afraid its most likely you're into the final category. You look like a bum, your beard is a source of humour to others and will act as a human repellent to women, job interviewers and bouncers.

Gordon D'Arcy is only 5'10, and I suspect you just can't grow a beard.

No, if I stop shaving, then gradually over about 10-14 days a full beard appears on my face, as if by magic. It unfortunately throws me into category 4. I suspect you fall into category 2.

Yep, that's me. You sound like a lovely person btw.

I actually can't grow a proper full beard, but that's no reason to be a dick to people who do grow one. I'd doubt you'd say any of that to men with beards, keyboard warrior.
