    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

    Grow a proper beard, a full on Gordon Darcy job, if you go for a goatee or somesuch you'll just look like an attention seeking queen

    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 ?!?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,091 ✭✭✭Antar Bolaeisk


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Grow a fu manchu.

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

    Any relation to Sonny?

    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.
