What does /fa/ think about beards? And, have you ever

i think they're stupid, i say that as someone who isn't a beardlet

well-kept, overly sculpted beards are shit at this point
however rough beards that make you look like a viking are still cool

>>11712724
pretty bad
light stubble is very effay though, otherwise you should just shave daily

>>11712733
>i think they're stupid
Why, tho? Do you just dislike the look, or that beards are trending now, so normies ruin it for you?

I'm currently growing one now. But I'm just curious of how it will look after a 3 month time.

>>11712765
i dislike the look, i dislike normies growing them, i hate seeing fat white guys get it lined up to their ''''''''''''''''''''jaw line''''''''''''''''''''''

the only ones that i've ever seen that looked halfway decent were always models or people shilling beard oil

>>11712751

The only thing they will make you look like is a jihadist.

nearly everyone who has a beard does so because they're not actually that good looking/have no jaw

otherwise why would you want to hide half of your face?

if you're good looking don't grow a beard

Beards are fine. You won't get many supporters of beards here because the average age of posters is 16-19, so the Peach Fuzz Brigade comes out in full force projecting their envy / insecurities.

>>11712765
Don't listen to the teens in here, keep growing it and see what happens. That's the only way you'll know if it looks good, the opinion of children on a Japanese cartoon board doesn't matter. I bet you people in real life around you think it looks nice. I agree that beards did become trendy, but really, how can you outright despise something that's natural? Facial hair is a natural thing. And people say guys do it to hide their flaws, so the fuck what? Why does that matter to you at all? Why are some people here filled with nonsensical hatred to a thing like hair on a dude's face? It's crazy to me. I don't mind people vocally objecting, but the way some people here voice their opinion about beards is hilariously overbearing.

I'm 39 years old, I've lived through a few fads, let me tell you about beards.

When you look back at your old pictures, the only kinds of beards that will not make you go "lol those were weird times" is pic related style.

Fad beards are much worse than fad haircuts because most people follow fad haircuts to some extent, so it doesn't look too out of place.

Each and every one of you trying to rock the ye olde 19th century boxer/haberdasher/butcher/lumberjack look, you already look laughably out of place today (since that fad died a few years ago) and you'll look progressively worse as the dead fad is fully rejected by even the most isolated places such as Toronto and Muncie and Adelaide.

Your beard should never be longer than your hair on your head, sorry kids. No, you don't look like a viking. You just don't. Put away the mora. We're not in the forest.

>>11712898
I do agree with you, but I feel the ones who grow it 'normally' far outweighs the ones who grow it like you mentioned. We shouldn't let a few people taking it too far dictate how we feel about all facial hair styles. But, yknow, outrage culture and such. Everyone ends up despising everything.

I still love guys who has a beard and im jealous mine grow really thin.

I dated a guy who has a beard but i keep on asking myself if hes still attractive without them.

If there's enough coverage and it's well maintained it looks fine. I've tried growing one in the past but always stopped a month in because it was always too sparse. 5 years later I'm trying again and the coverage is finally there. Starting to look alright.

>>11712979
Definitely keep at it, that's the hardest thing. You might question yourself along the way, worrying what others think or if it's not growing fast enough / thick enough. But, you have to keep letting it do its thing, until you see some sort of results. There's always an awkward phase when growing a beard, but don't let anyone (especially people on here) bring you down during the process.

>>11712724
It's cool if you are over your 30's. Before that you rely too much in your genetics.

>>11712724

Overly-maintained beards are both played out and stupid looking, at this stage. Also, if your beard sticks out too much further than the hair on top of your head, you look like a retard, OPs pic is case in point: short sides, and then the head flares out, looks fucking ugly.

I say this as a bearded man, of course, eleven years or something at this stage. It's a little annoying that people who used to point and laugh at a beard are now desperate to grow one, but I guess that's the fun of fashion :D

almost 2 months now. first few months suck. all your holes and patches stand out a lot. they do fill in though once the hair gets longer. give it 3 months to judge what your beard is capable of. start growing and forget about it pretty much. I'm gonna keep on going for the hell of it. it's like when I was a teenager and wanted long hair, just to see how it was. this is the adult version of that.

>>11715421
you should get your hair trimmed, its puffing out on the sides and it sort of highlights the lack of hair around your temples.

>>11715674
growing it longer on top brosef. gotta deal with it.

>>11715421
To be honest, your beard would look better if it was trimmed shorter. It looks decent now, but the thick dark areas on the cheeks contrast too much with the thinner, lighter chin area. It would be more flattering if it was more uniform. Don't shave or shape it though, because it suits you.

btw, are you the guy who posted all those pics of himself in that 2007 thread the other day, or do y'all just look similar?

>>11715921
holy shit you are observant. yeah usually my facial hair is well kept. but I'm just letting it go full hobo for a year to see what happens.

>>11715927
I flippin knew it. Also, if you're gonna do a hobo beard, get some different glasses. You don't look like a tryhard now, but if you kept those glasses and grew your beard out, you'd look very 2013 tryhard.

>>11715937
yeah I haven't changed changed my style of glasses since about 2005 lol. everyone keeps saying change the glasses. I just don't know what to even try. I've never had anything different. before this I had oval lame nerd wire glasses. benefits kick in December.

light stubble that is both consitent in thickness and well shaped, if done right it enhances your cheekbones shadow improving your face aesthetics.

if you have a beard it's probably because you have a weak jawline and everyone knows this by now.

Things that make you look like a sub-human animal

>facial hair
>long hair
>barbarian genitals
>too-large clothes
>not being white

It makes the list, so beards are automatically shit based on thousands of years of cultural evolution

Most men look better with a beard (hides imperfections and makes you look masculine), but a lot of men can't grow a proper one.

It's sad seeing a bad beard on someone, like a tryhard baby boy, but apart from that nothing is wrong with beards.

The ideal size and shape for genitals can be strictly defined as "as close to average as possible." This is agreed upon by both men and women. The further you deviate from the norm the less good it looks, large or small.

shaped/styled beards are so cartoonish I cannot take them seriously

>>11712724
I have a beard (apparently because I'm a closeted metal head), but I'm not particularly interested in beards. Mine is fine, but "beard culture" runs the gamut of mildly humorous (dollar beard club), to hip young pastor looking to build "good" men, to so hopelessly up its own masculine ass, that I can't take it very seriously. Fortunately, paired with my long hair and my "just stumbled out of 1970s Yosemite" fashion sense, I think I look decent, but that said, I do think a beard can work with a number of /fa/'s dominant aesthetics given the wearer is a bit older.

I mean, there's an upper range, but this is true for pretty much everyone. We can even look to our primate brethren for evolutionary evidence; humans have by far the largest penis of all the primate species, which suggests our ancestors selected for more well-endowed mates. Bear in mind this is merely a question of sexual preference, not aesthetic preference. And yes, cultural norms can dictate both preferences, as they did with the Ancient Greeks.
