Why do all bearded men look like grandfathers? Even if they are in their 20s they look really old, like Santa Claus or grandfather old. I mean those with huge beards, not 1-2 day beards. I had a classmate who was 21 and I always thought he was almost 50 and talked to him like an older person. Why do men have beards?
This guy looks around 45-48 without beard and at least 70 with it, maybe even 80.
without a beard
My problem is that I can't see a bearded man belonging to my age group, only as a grandfather or father's generation. Even if they are younger than me. I could never date with anyone who grows a beard because he will look very, very pedophile for me. The same is with pencil mustache, I would immediately break up becuase of that (if they don't shave). It looks sleazy, like a younger version of pedophile. It isn't very good that I look like a child, despite being far above average 4chan user age. Is it shallow? Would you break up if your gf did something to her face?

help me, why do men do that?

because the ability to grow a beard is one of the last symbols of virility and masculinity left in a world drained of traditional institutions, roles and values.
Granted, 21 year olds shouldn't have full beards. Even when they can grow lucious, lost at sea chin manes, beards ought to indicate wisdom and experience more than be an fashion item.
But fuck it, if he's man enough to pull off a Bret Keisel, he's man enough for anyone.

>Why do men have beards?
We like them.
They're manly, we're men, seems like a good fucking match.
Also, because I don't give a fuck if some girls think beards are shit, because some other girls like them.
Also keeps my face warm in winter.
I go bear mode with weight, beards and hibernating in this fucking cold.
Beards give +10 woodcutting skill.
Also, society has been very anti-man. Beards are the cure to counteract the feminazation of men. It's our way of rebelling.

Not just +10 to wood cutting but at least +15 frost resistance.

Why do all the leftists hipsters have a beard if it such a manly thing?
>>17777391
Because society tells them they need to be clean shaven to get a job.
Their parents want them to get a job.
"For some reason, they didn't hire me. Guess I'll send a couple of applications out tomorrow on my daily starbucks run".
They don't want jobs. They want someone to walk into Starbucks, see them on their laptop and suddenly "discover" them and all their hiden fucking talents.
Hipsters are cunts, mate.
That said, I know this one guy at work who loks like one, but is actually pretty chill and a hard worker. Massive beard. Actually has a comb for it. A beard fucking comb.
Dude's cool as fuck.

>Men with beards look much older
Yes, and many many women have huge fetishes for older men and have daddy issues.
Men like young women and women like older men.
Plus it's gratifying to feel general respect from people from having a good mane.

A sad attempt at inverting traditional masculine symbols. I work in forestry, we're all bearded men in flannel shirts. The joke goes that we have to live up to the lumberjack stereotype to reclaim these things from metrosexuals.
