Why do so many dudes grow shitty looking beards?

[Strigoi]

I have a beard because I don't like shaving. Haven't been clean shaven since I was 16 and working at McDonalds (23 years ago). Also, dudes like beards way more than chicks. I'll have random guys come up to me and compliment my beard. It seems like it's only chicks that work in retail that are way too young for me that think it's neat. My g/f loves my beard and would probably leave me if I cut it off.

I was at Disneyland earlier this month in line for Pirates and a dude commented on my beard. We came across each other a couple of other times in the line due to the way it curved and kept the conversation going. Our respective ladies were lol'ing at our talking of products to use.

I only take selfies with my bestest turkey friend now.

Hah, he's my shitty beard. Grew it for a couple months while I was funemployed fixing old cars and remodeling houses before getting a real job and moving to WA. Gone now.

Turkey hat mandatory to keep with the current theme.

I'm shaving in less than a week, actually prefer the shaved look. I Let it go for 2-3 months and just not a fan, 3rd time I've tried and it's not for me. I don't like how it grows in toward my lips and I cannot stop playing with it and then get chapped lips.

I can go 3 days between shaves no problem and often will just 'shave' with a set of clippers and no attachment, essentially clippers on 0.

Crappy beards among celebrities are a way of saying 'I can get laid while looking this crappy, I don't need to work at it'.

 

[corndog67]

Have you priced a razor lately?

The dirt look is in apparently.

 

[budman]

Man... I stepped in it :jaded

All the beards in the thread look good.

I think the term 'shitty' was probably the wrong choice. :laughing

I don't care BTW. Everyone owns their own face.

Roman face, it medieval times it was called Roman Face. In ancient Rome, at age 21, it was law that all men had to undergo a ritual first shave as their right of manhood.

It was an interesting contrast to the Egyptians, who removed all hair in extensive shaving rituals including their body hair. The Romans, while demanding a clean face, thought a lack of serious body hair on a man was some kind of sign of illness or deformity.

Around 120 CE when Hadrian was Emperor, he grew a beard to hide the fact that he was pretty ugly :laughing, and the demand that Romans shave faded off with the memory of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty.

I have a beard 'cause shaving sucks. Plus my wife likes it.

 

[Yakoo752]

I have seen so many crappy looking beards on sports stars and just plain old folks

I have a beard 'cause shaving sucks.

I resemble both statements

I'm only week 1 into my winter beard. I will likely shave in the coming weeks. I tend to grow it out some for ski season. Start around thanksgiving, shave it in March.

 

[Kurosaki]

meh, on beards. I could if I wanted to, facial hair grows quick and even. But even after 3-4 days, I feel like an animal took residence on my face and it drives me crazy.

Hell, I shaved yesterday morning, and should have shaved today and I'm probably gonna regret it around 5PM.

It's a thing.
Happens in November and everyone with a public facing job gets on the bandwagon.
They'll mostly be gone again come December.

Wikipedia:
Movember (a portmanteau of the Australian-English diminutive word for moustache, "mo",[1] and "November") is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.[2] The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at Movember.com.[3] The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health."[4]

 

[Climber]

One observation over the decades, and this doesn't apply to all but is more of a general observation is that men who are in stable relationships are more likely to have beards, many of those men shave those beards when they become single again.

I have a goatee because I am the wazzuFreddo from the evil dimension.

It's a thing.
Happens in November and everyone with a public facing job gets on the bandwagon.

A manager at work used to push that. He's say to me "Blankpage you going to grow a mustache this time right, everyone else is" me "fuck no". Seriously how dumb is that, give money is you want to but growing a mustache for awareness is as dumb as Hawaiian shirt Fridays, witch another numbnuts at work was pushing.

It's all cool until you get a foot long face pube in your food.
