Beards!

The Backwards Man

This is something which we are going to have to address sooner or later. The current fascination with beards, I'm sorry folks, but those aren't really beards. A five 'o clock shadow does not constitute a beard. If you're going to grow a beard it's like growing tomatoes or strawberries, grow the bloody thing right! This is a beard

It's all about self esteem bro. The longer the beard the less self esteem. Simples Ask anyone!

Duke O Smiley

Longer the beard the more axe murderer you are

Old sailors and mountainy sheep farmers and union reps are allowed beards,anybody else it looks wrong.
Particularly on a twenty five year old.

Exactly.

You don't grow a beard. You earn it

Subcomandante Marcos

Beards and tattoos, disguising the absolute vapid banality of hispters and gob****es since 2009.

The shorter the bread or lack of a beard, the greater the Mangina.

Beards are gross. Manky looking yokes especially the ones that look all wirey and pube like. Alright Ronnie drew, swear to god, the sooner that trend and the douchebag knot dies a death, I'll be a happy woman

Would you not even go for this?

That's a beard

KungPao

The main problem is that some people are growing them as they are fashionable now rather than because it suits them. Hence you see many wallies out there that just have big pube faces.

It's not too bad, just not my cup of tea!
My oh sometimes lets his grow a few days without shaving and I hate it because he looks like he would be arrested if he was anywhere in the vicinity of a school or playground. Sometimes when he shaves he will leave a moustache and tell me he's going to grow one. Even though I know he's only trolling me, it still winds me up. If it came to him going through with it, I would happily shave it off while he slept.

Q. I didn't know you were growing a beard!

A. I'm not, I've just been lazy the last few days.

I shave every other day - just to give the auld skin a break. But all the beardheads that I know are basically sexual introverts or complete pervs. Having read over this I realise that I'll encourage the wrath of the manufactured indignation omnibus.

Unless you are a personal friend of Kris Kristoffersson, Merle Haggard or Chase from Falcon Crest you'll face no wrath from me

Ok then! I take it for granted that you are not afraid of being found too barefaced!
Why hide a beautiful face?

Jesus Wept

Had a **** beard before it was popular mates.

When McGregor becomes unfashionable.

They look ridiculous on some people though.

Jared Leto grew one and bizarrely it just made him look like Katy Perry with a beard.

OldGoat

Can't wait for the beard to become unfashionable so that mine once again becomes a rarity rather than the norm.

Crooked Jack

I love my beard. couldnt give a fuck how it looks. I just hate shaving and love scratching it. Even when it's not itchy. Sometimes i keep pens in it too.

geraardo

I have a beard because i hate shaving

conorh91

It's far better than the metrosexual phase that happened back in the early-mid noughties.

I see no problem with it myself, apart from the awful ginger beard phenomenon.

WoollyRedHat

I don't identify myself as growing a beard, or being part of a hipster/trendy movement who wears it as an accesory... sometimes I have hair in my face and sometimes I don't.

BMJD

I have a beard because I am awesome.

Have you ever looked back at pictures of parents when they were young and EVERYONE had a long mop of hair? It's gonna be the same for this generation

"daddy why do you have a dead animal on your face?"

Because the top of my head is bald and I want to feel part of the hairy gang.

Another thread for jealous people who cant grow beards.

Mr. CooL ICE

I was making stupid threads about beards before making stupid threads about beards was cool.

circadian

I'm currently rocking an awful beard, I'm also rocking two broken arms. Once I have movement restored I'll be delighted to be rid of the bloody thing.

Too many Keanu Reeves style excuses for beards these days too

NyOmnishambles

Ginger beard wearer and proud here, though I am actually ginger so it doesn't look too out of place, not like those weirdo genetic freaks whose beard is a different colour to their hair

I shaved mine off a while ago as I didn't really want to be associated with all the gobsh!tes who have it because it is trendy

I have had one on and off for years because it suits me and it also makes my handsome baby face seem a little older

Saipanne

I've had a beard for about ten years. And I'll probably have one for another ten. I couldn't give a **** about trends.

Im like that, though it was much more pronounced when I was in my late teens. My beard itself, was multiple colours. A deep ginger from ear to ear across my jaws and chin. Aryan blonde mustache and anything on my neck was as black satan's soul. I looked like an upside down german flag.
Add into that dirty blonde hair, dark back hair and pubes of such a bright red i could read in the dark with them.

Boom_Bap

I've been growing beards for about 15 years now.
Mainly from lazyness.
I can't even remember the last time I've had a clean shave, it's been a few years now.
I would occassionally trim it down with a 'raw' blade on my trimmers if I have to look tidy for a work trip, or if I get p*ssed off with it.
It's at the stage now where I need to get it tidied up a bit, trim the ronnie to stop me chewing on it, and take a bit of weight out of it jowls to make my head look less fat.

Beards rule. Mrs. _Bap is also a fan of it bizzarely.

i think beards are great

Beards look good when you have a suit on, but not sports clothing. Beards make tracksuit-wearers look shifty & unreliable. Tracksuit wearers, take note.

I thought tracksuits did that without requiring a beard.

I never find an issue with the heat when having a beard,
