Full beards are great. I can go a week without any maintenance and still look presentable. Any other style of facial hair is just too much effort.

Coreidan,

It’s a lot less presentable than you think. Reality is people aren’t going to saying anything because they don’t want to be rude.

Black_Char,

It's completely presentable and you thinking it's not is your own opinion. Beards will always be a thing. They grow on our faces and we don't have control other than shaving. Idk about you but I am a man. My facial hair is coarse and I have sensitive skin. If I were to shave everyday like society wants me to I'd have razor burn and rashes all over my face. What's more acceptable some facial hair? Or open wounds on my face?

Also beards went away for several reasons, Off the top of my head I can think of 2.

  1. WWII and gas masks. Facial hair was causing gas masks to have gaps and not work properly, which is when the military enacted their facial hair rules.

  2. JFK vs Nixon debates were aired on TV nationally. When this happened people liked the way JFK looked clean shaven because at the time even a 5 o'clock shadow would make you look "dirty". So the ceos and corporations adopted that and made it a work place standard.

Beards are acceptable, beards are natural, and i find it's really only those who are jealous they can't grown one that have issues.

Alk,

That is the wildest take I’ve ever heard. Full beards can be presentable, professional and clean. A beard goes with a suit like peanut butter goes with jelly.

I mean, beards are in fashion for several years now, aren’t they?

I personally started growing a beard, because my skin is easily irritated and I don’t like walking arround looking like a pizza. Luckily I also think I look better with a short, well kept full beard. Beards either take time or look like shit though in my experience.

Hides my fat face.

Again?

Swallowtail,

I hate shaving and I think it’s a waste of time. I think facial hair can also act to make your appearance more visually interesting if you prefer to keep your hair cut really short like I do.

nomadjoanne,

Lol, of course Lemmy posts this picture.

Nikls94,

First there was WWII, when all men had to be skinheads. Those men continued shaving, and this became a culture handed down to their boys. Now, we’re rebelling against the elders who fucked up everything, so we grow beards to show that we’re different to them.

For me, it’s sheer laziness. Can’t be arsed to shave more than once every 6 to 10 months.

Do always find it funny when folks react strongly when I do shave. It’s hair growth, not a personality.

Steak,

My step dad is 50 and never amounted to anything in his life so his big thing that he has is his beard. He takes pictures and grooms it and its so so so stupid and it bothers me so much because he’s overweight and has done absolutely nothing worthwhile with his whole life but here is like oh yeah my beard is looking so great noone can grow the kind of beard I can. Like alright Dennis how about you go back and finish grade ten and get a real job other than selling pills.

z00s,

Same reason I wear a brown onion on my belt

The +5 charisma buff was too hard to pass up.

Marin_Rider,

I’m lazy and can’t be fucked shaving regularly

Unpigged,

I get awful razor burn and I hate shaving. Grow beard, trim the mo' every now and then, go see my barber for a tidy up when it starts getting too wild. So much easier

CaptPretentious,

I’m slightly less fugly with it, I hope.

But I grew up admiring beards. So I finally decided to grow one over COVID only to find out I got screwed genetically in that area too.
