Razors Edge ★ Posted March 14, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2020 ...or the related lumberjack look? I see a LOT of dudes now with these types of beards, and last weekend, during the nice weather, I spotted a hipster bearded dude running shirtless on the trail in front of me. What struck me as EXTRA odd was that he was completely manscaped on the bare parts yet super bushy in the beard area. I feel like that's WAY too much of a contradiction.

JerrySTL ★ Posted March 14, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2020 Like anything fashionable, it's silly. The shorts and hoodies in the middle of winter is another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted March 14, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 14, 2020 I cut my longer than normal beard off last week, as I got tired of messy eating. Now I just look like I need a shave, and that is fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted March 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 14, 2020 They would not be getting any action from me, if I was single and looking. Facial hair is a turn off, for me. My husband is cute with one week scruff, but beards and other long facial hair is a no go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted March 14, 2020 Share #6 Posted March 14, 2020 I had a bushy beard when I was younger, if it irritated an old fart that was just a plus. I'm sure the kids today feel the same. The too small sports jackets look stupid to me, but again the wearer probably see's irritating an old fart as a plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted March 14, 2020 Share #13 Posted March 14, 2020 My son has a big bushy beard. I assume it is because his wife likes it. It looks ridiculous to me. Whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just notice my dearie's beard. Seriously, I don't really notice men in that kind of way anymore. I notice if a guy in my age, if he is fit or not. I'm gauging the guy more on health rather than coolness or attractiveness. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like dearie's beard because it suits his facial features (beards don't suit all guys) and it's not long/bushy like those hipster dudes. He keeps his beard neat and very trim. Dearie has had beard for the past few decades. In his younger years, he looked Mennonite German. I never set out to go after a guy with a beard. It just happened...he was the righr combination. Beard is just the icing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted March 14, 2020 Share #18 Posted March 14, 2020 Not a beard fan for me. I think they are a good look for older gents. Not a fan of the hipster beards and they look hot as hell to me. I like to feel the wind on my face. So, no for me, but don't care what others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a longer beard would be a hassle ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted March 14, 2020 Popular Post Share #20 Posted March 14, 2020 If they have a beard like that and don’t know how to run a chainsaw it’s just wrong. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted March 14, 2020 Share #21 Posted March 14, 2020 Other than being mostly gray, my beard looks like that now. Is probably longer. And I have exactly zero percent care about whether anyone other than my wife likes it. So, you know what? Ask yourself why you really care. Seriously. I could post something negative about any person’s appearance. But why? How they look doesn’t affect me. A hipster’s beard has absolutely no impact on your well being or sense of style superiority. Or does it? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted March 14, 2020 Share #22 Posted March 14, 2020 If they and those who hug and kiss them like it, it's fine with me. It's not for me, though. I occasionally get lazy and let my beard grow. Within a couple weeks, it's scratching my neck and has to be shaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted March 14, 2020 Share #23 Posted March 14, 2020 I usually go every three weeks and get my hair cut and beard trimmed. I’m not going since my wife came home. I’m getting a bit bushy, I don’t care. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted March 14, 2020 Share #24 Posted March 14, 2020 There is a young man at work that is a complete hipster. Skinny pants, kinda short cut, fancy boots, super tight sports coats and a neatly trimmed beard & Rollie Fingers style moustache. I talk to him frequently, nice kid and I always think, man this kid rocks the hipster thing. I grew a beard a couple of years ago and my wife prefers it. I’m fine with it but I keep it trimmed fairly short. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted March 14, 2020 Share #25 Posted March 14, 2020 You know, I mostly hate trends, and the people who jump on them. That said, beards just look right on a few people here or there. From a hygenic standard, Coronavirus lives in beards for at least 8 weeks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going since my wife came home. I’m getting a bit bushy, I don’t care. Since 1996, I’ve shaved my beard exactly one time. It was about 7 years ago. Horribly looking face neath that beard. Won’t voluntarily do it again. But mostly I’ve kept it short and manicured all these years. But when I had my shoulder surgery last July, I decided to let it grow out and see how it looks long. I still keep it manicured, but it’s quite a beard for me. Mrs Z has put braids in it several times. Looks wild. Going to do that for the next Celtic fest I attend. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a guy ages, if he has beard, it helps if he has beautiful shaped head when going bald. A photo over 18 years ago: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
