Seems having a beard these days is associated with being an edgy liberal hipster. Associated with man buns and beard oil. You're actually the counter-culture right now if you're clean shaven or trimmed to a stubble Anyone else thinking of getting rid of their beard? |

I can't remember where I read it, but some woman posted that beards for men today serve roughly the same function as padded bras did for women in the 1950s: They imply a level of virility and sexual prowess that the wearer does not actually have.

Wow. The OP is going to shave his beard, that he grew because for whatever reason he wanted a beard, based on his perception of what other bearded men are?
OP is gayer than the hipsters that scare him into saving. |

I tend to grow a beard in the winter when it's cold, and it comes off to a mustache or a mustache and a goatee when the weather warms up. I can't see changing it for people I don't give a fuck about. |

It's real easy to tell the difference between a bearded hipster and a man with a beard.
It's a fad to them, they are just trying to look like a man, not a twig boy hipster. |

The beard trend jumped the shark when stupid t shirts and memes started coming out about how bearded men are superior to those with out. Or how women love a man with a beard. And to top it off with that faggot ass tv show about beard grooming.
If your manhood is determined by a beard then you're not really a man. |

I think beards can be cool. I even tried to grow a beard once but is was an Apache beard. A patchy here and a patchy there and looked like crap.... I am used to shaving clean every day. I'll let it go a day or three if I'm not working though.

31 years here. About a year or two ago we past a beard contest at The Mohawk for hipsters on our way to Stubbs. Wife laughed and said I should enter for oldest continual beard in Austin.

I have rosacea, so my beard is functional.
I'd hate to have to cover so much more face and neck skin with $20 per container specialty sunscreen. I'd go broke from all of the sunscreen I use just on my face from spring through the end of football season. |

Meh, don't care. The topic of this thread falls into my "irrelevant file."
I first grew a beard in 2008 right after I got out of the Army. I absolutely hate having to shave every morning. It's so much easier for me to maintain a short beard. |

I find it odd that there is so much opinion on what other men do, how they look, what they do with their hair, etc. I couldn't care less, I've had a beard so long I forgot what I look like clean shaven.

In two years, the hipster beard will be gone, replaced by something else. Monocles and Alpine hats. Miami Vice couture.

Every male under thirty-five at our local Lowes store sports a full beard. Looks like a convention of Al Borland wannabes.
 Attached FileEvery male over the age of fifty at the same Lowes is clean shaven. Looks like a gathering of real Americans who know a thing or two about grooming.  Attached File.......and none have tattoos. |

They are trying to op. One day they will wake up and feel too masculine and get rid of them so have no fear.
Yesterday I woke up a big beard long hair, and today I woke up just shy of pube beard.

It appears to be a fad. Just like the popped collars and pastel polo shirts in 1982, the Eurofag pony tails we put up with in the late 80's, the tribal armband and tramp stamp tats that nobody no longer gets, the shaved head, goatee, wrap around sunglasses and being 50lbs overweight look that dominated the past decade......
The beard thing is a strange phenomenon though. We've all had them before and nobody thought anything of them. Now it's a "thing", and people fuss over it like it takes special skill to grow one or something. We'll be on to the next thing in a year or two. The beard oil and glitter companies will long be out of business and we'll find something else to gravitate towards. And we'll bitch about that too.
