Why do so many dudes grow shitty looking beards?

I notice most people with massive beards are either very attractive and the beard won't hurt, or already so generically unattractive it can't hurt.

I haven't been clean shaven since I was 16 years old and am 39 now. I have no idea if I'm good looking or ugly as fuck under my face hair. I'm leaning towards the latter. :laughing

I just assumed it was you in your avatar.

I posted a pic of myself with my turkey earlier in this thread.

That's Christopher Bowes, lead singer and keytarist of the awesome pirate metal band, Alestorm and generally silly guy

I have seen so many crappy looking beards on sports stars and just plain old folks. I am face hair deficient and can’t really get a nice one going so I refrain. I have always been of the mind that if it does not enhance your looks why bother?? Maybe I am a vein SOB.

However again and again I see these awkward and ugly beards.

Why??

Ladies I would love to know your take as well.

BODY SHAMER! BUDMAN'S A BODY SHAMER!

Shun him! SHHHHUUUUNNNN

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.

Shit. I just had 5days off so I let it grow.

I don't feel it's my place to tell a guy what fashion to pursue, however, my preference is for a very short beard or none at all. I spend enough time keeping my own hair out of my mouth--I don't need to be battling yours. And as much as I love the look of a 5 o'clock shadow, we're gonna have to limit kissing to a light peck or two if that's the case. My cheeks and chin don't need to be all torn up for the next week, thank you.

Sounds like my wife, but she doesn't like it at all. She especially doesn't like it when I go for the Wolverine or the Chester Alan Arthur look. (Really old pic and that's not my wife)

One of the greatest parts of working in tech for me. No strictly regimented uniform to wear, worrying about polished boots or if I scuffed one getting into the car and need to touch it up before I get into the building, no worrying about forgetting to shave every morning and carrying around a spare razer plus an electric one in my car and one in my desk at work, no need to get a haircut every week, I can wear gym clothes to work all day and then head straight to the gym after, whatever.

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.


I dunno, I think "men's fashion" should be an oxymoron.. except for emos like Eldritch, because.. well.. no one likes to hear a man cry :x
