Beards

The Wild Bunch

Mumford and Son and their folk hipster ****e have a lot to answer for

Helping ugly blokes pull

Should make them illegal. Big bushy wirey beards have no place in modern society

Has this not been done about a thousand times at this stage?

You have beard envy sir. It's not your fault.

Turtyturd

Consider them a warning sign OP other wise you might just find yourself checking out a lot of effeminately dressed men.

No beard envy here. I sport quite a fetching one thank you very much. I have one due to being lazy however. Shaving is a hassle I don't need in my life. A once a week trim is grand for keeping from looking like a hobo.

Mumford and Sons are hipsters? And responsible for big beards? And big beards help ugly blokes pull?

None of these things are true.

The ones that look like pubes are just distracting,I always think what bits of food have you got in there.

Yep, because they're an obscure underground band and they invented beards.

Thread abounds with bearded defensiveness.

Why are men with beards in tv ads portrayed as complete thicks?

My ex girlfriend seemed to think so too.

I didn't agree, it was a big turn off. Especially the way it hurt my groin when she went down on me. :mad:

Seen her last week. She's obviously on the immac now.

I'm convinced I started the trend

People with beards are hiding something and cannot be trusted. Especially men.

I'll say one thing they are wile handy for scratching your arm or hand when you are busy gaming.

I mean that alone is enough for me never to shave again

people had beards before mumford & sons you ****ing moron

I think it's the sudden explosion in beard wearing that might the subject of the OP's ire. It just shows that they don't really suit most men. For every fetching example that is well-groomed and suited to the face of the wearer, there are 5 examples of scraggly growth that look like a nest of matted pubes have been super-glued to a victim's face as he slept. Awful things.

And that's not even talking about the horrors of the neckbeard.

Beards are extremely hot. Mumford and fcking Sons have nothing to do with it.

They kinda suit a certain type of person as well.

So when you see a young, skinny, fey student type gambolling down the road with a Ronnie Drew face rug, it just looks a bit strange.

After the glorious Conchita Wurst, I think the rest of you should go home and shave. It's over.

Just seen a post about beards.
I’m 28 years of age and I can’t grow a beard for some reason, I can get a goatee going but never seem to grow hair on the lower cheeks or locks.
I always found this odd and I’m the only male in my family with this issue.



It can be handy as I don't have the shave frequently which is a blessing.



Anyone else unable to grow a full-on-beard? Do you think it's a medical thing or just genetics?


(I do have a pair by the way)

I have a bald patch under my chin, nothing grows there

I hate beards. Just a note to young lads with atrocious big beards, you look ridiculous and it ages you really badly. Just saying.

It's also interesting to note that 98% of the Forbes 100 Wealthiest men are clean-shaven. Having what looks like a dead squirrel stapled to your chin isn't really the look needed if aiming for the C-Suite.

I feel sorry for beards. There they are, just sprouting happily out of facial follicles because that's what they do, and some of their face farmers start a cult, with feeble slogans on pinterest, pinterest! While others just shave or beard unselfconsciously along, regardless of fashion.

blacklilly

With age and maturity I have come to fall in love with beards and hair in general.
10 years ago I loved clean shaven men with hairless chests. Now I love hairy men:)

Cupcake_Crisis

I'll not have a bad word said about beards. Amazing things. Wonderful, sexy, beardy beards. I'll be devastated when this beard trend dies out.

No, looking like a slimey boy man well into your 60's is much more preferable.

Make sure to bleach your wig and open the top button on your pink shirt because ties are for the peasants!

Beard - a woman who acts as a gay fellas boyfriend, so he won't be found out.
Saw one at a wedding a couple of years ago. This lad, who was very camp, prancing around the place. Saw him sit down at the meal, and he had his arm around this wan. She looked so uninterested, was probably there to lend her gay friend a hand and get a free day out.

He wasn't fooling anyone.

I find the beard bandwagon perplexing too. I'm all for a bit of facial hair (raaar!) but big bushy beards like Brian Blessed, Grizzly Adams and Santa Claus... what has caused such a surge in these?

jonnny68

Unless your an aul fella they are wrong on every level

The kind of beard trend prominent among young men these days is rather like the trend for non-hipsters to do their best to dress as hipsters but not fully adopting the lifestyle and therefore acquiring an out-of-place style in society.

Pwindedd

It depends on the guy I suppose. We've a lad in work with an amazing beard, has the piercings, tattoos, skinny jeans, devil may care attitude going on. He rocks that beard. Our GM tried to grow one - oh dear god - "here's Johnny...."

I have noticed the increase in mug-rugs, a definite trend, and will therefore subside soon. I eagerly await the return of the toothbrush moustache. There's a look that'll take some pulling off.

Husbands not allowed a moustache/beard. No man should have more hair on his chin than his head.

we'llallhavetea

beards are lush, the bigger and bushier the better! it should be against the law for men to shave their beautiful beards. (well, unless their beard is sparse and whispy) maybe i'll go in as an independent pogonophile for the european elections and change the country for the better.

Of those, I'd say that 90% of them are ass-holes.
