Will you ever see an article in gynomedia making fun of womens body problems?

Why the hell you want that on your face? A total nuisance with no point to it…

Facial hair is a secondary sexual characteristic. It means that the male has passed puberty and is available for mating. The ancients often used the phrase ‘beardless boy’ to refer to the immature.

Women who prefer hairless men tend to be closet lesbians.

Hipsters decorate their beards with glitter and ornaments and sh1t. That’s a serious abuse of facial hair and should be discouraged.

The current decade long fascination with growing a beard is repulsive to me.

I don’t see why it matters to you in any way.

I understand you’re point regarding certain fashion trends disrespecting certain people who have accomplished something to designate themselves in that way. For example, I won’t wear a cowboy hat. I didn’t grow up on a farm or ranch and don’t want to give the impression I do. It’s not a costume, it’s a uniform in away. The same with certain military and police habits. But I don’t see a beard as part of a uniform in any way. You see to associate beards with certain stereotypes of people. I’m supposed to change how I look to fit the stereotypical image you have of me?

I don’t see how it’s a nuisance or why I would care what men in the 1700s think of my beard. It is salt and pepper (85% salt). I don’t go months without a trim, about 2 weeks tops. I also grew my hair out, even though it’s probably too thin up top to be fashionably acceptable. I’m not dead set on keeping either on any sort of principle, just what I felt like doing.

I get the point of going against whatever the current fashion trend is, of purposely not fitting in, but there is also value in doing whatever you want to do. The point is, don’t think looking a certain ways makes you the same as others who might look that way. That’s one of the hangups I have with women. Then tend to believe that looking a certain way is as good as being that way. You are a professional if you look like one. You’re classy if you dress the part. You’e not a slut if you don’t look like one. It’s not a coincidence that women love Halloween, Las Vegas, Rodeos, etc as they are all oppurtunities to pretend to be something you’re not.

Ok. Then do it.

Well that’s ok, because what is supposed to pass as my “beard” looks like the aftermath of 2 rabid squirrels that raped a badger on my face.

hahah! You DO rate to wear a beard Grumpy. If even there is one grey hair in that beard, YOU RATE.

I think Gays can also rate to wear a beard without looking like a fool… because of BEAR culture. They wear it right, unless its some twink with patchy peach fuzz — trying to be a BEAR… NO, that is not proper, shave your face

I dont support whatever view that is or where ever you heard it. No matter who you are, if you wanna wear a Cowboy hat, do it.

In the American Friend, Denis Hopper wears a Cowboy hat in Berlin the whole movie. Whoever doesnt like it can eat it.

This isnt directed at you NArwhal. You’re probably handsome as all get-out in a beard and the look suits you.. dont shave bro. The rest is a rant….

As far as a beard goes… its the context. Aren’t you in the UK? Beards are probably way more lax and acceptable up there. Stateside, beards have long been associated with Hippie-culture and bad hygiene. My main beef with them is that this is the 21st Century. Its not only out of fashion, it doesn’t belong in this Era. What happened is that some a-hole Major League Baseball player 10 years ago grew a damn beard and was on National TV… then a few others did it — THEN EVERY DUMBASS 20 year old in American, whether he could grow peach fuzz or bear furr — grew a giant unkempt beard to declare to the world that he is producing semen.

That was fine, it should have been a passing seasonal fad but it didnt’ stop… it continued for an entire decade effectively ruining the beard look for ALL the people who normally RATE to wear a beard.

The truth is this. its 2019. For the last 80,000 years you had no choice but to look like a caveman. Then one day, some Tom Hanks Cast Away looking guy took a rock and rubbed that trash off his face. It caught on. Soon we were using Arrow Heads to shave. Then metallurgy availed us the Scissors. Finally we got mass-produced disposable razors.

So for all history, Men have been fighting to become hairless. I assume because of the MISANDRY and assault on Masculinity in America, the general male psyche has rebelled. Its last bastion on male appearance is the beard so they hide in it.

But dont be mistaken, the ONLY reason Beards are accepted and came back like this is because the beard makes women wet themselves.

I dont play the game, most because Im former infantry. In the Marines, we shaved. It stuck with me. Believe me, I could use a beard because Im BALD as fvck but I refuse to grow it on principle. As grumpy said, only Wogs grow beards. LOL. We call them POGS in the USMC.

Narwhal, sounds like you have a classy White beard happening. That is 100% perfect man. I wouldn’t shave it. The SAGE beard bro. It suits you. These BEARD tirades are aimed at the HORDES of confused boys, not men like you. Growing a beard doesnt make you a man at 18… shaving it daily makes you a man.

I think Ill probably grow a thin one at 40 when some salt comes in.

I suppose it’s similar to your RATE thoughts on beards. I don’t get on people who wear hats who haven’t earned it, but they look like posers to me. It’s cultural appropriation to me.

Probably not. I look like Lebouski with thinner up top, curlier, and greyer.

Not even close. I’m about 400 miles south of you in Houston. I’d agree that beards used to be associated with bad hygiene, but certainly not now. There are hipster beards for sure, but facial hair has been more of country attitude for probably 7 of 8 years now. I’d say men are about 50/50 in having some form of facial hair.

Being that Dallas is full of hipster types, I can see where you’d see it more of a hipster thing.

No, men have always been fighting to set themselves apart from men. Obviously, when being clean shaven was difficult, it was a sign of wealth and means. Now that it is easy for anyone, it doesn’t show that. Men have been trying to look different then the crowd throughout history, and that means all sorts of changes to facial hair as well as hair in general. Heck, men wore huge white haired wigs back in the 1700s on purpose. That was clearly was not an attempt to become hairless. Although I doubt back hair has ever been considered desirable.

Even today where men are shaving their chest and nether regions, that’s clearly a fashion thing, or just trying to make things look bigger.

Ok. Then do it.

LOL. Funny last part. Good point Narwhal. Go Astros! Saw them playing yesterday for a minute.

I should refrain from my usual chatterboxing … y’all have heard it all before.

Tough day up here in Dallas though. The homeless and ex-penitentiary dudes somehow all gravitate to the damn parking lot in front of my store to hustle tourists out of their parking money, loiter and panhandle. So sick of this crap.

Sometimes, after watching them work random innocent people for an hour, I get tired of it and I go out there and tell them to leave. I also have security contact numbers to get them out… the react time sucks though.

So this one is trying to make it difficult for me today… wanting to fight. So Im giving him my usual “get a job, have some shame, lecture.” (he’s black by the way of course) when all the sudden here comes random Black girl (who cant mind her own business but sees a white guy lecturing a black man so she wants to fight now too) ….

Fuvcking hell! I should not be out there but I feel helpless as this crap goes on, it deters business. They want nothing other than to turn me into a villain, provoke a fight and get my life ruined for beating up black people… race baiting…

I get disheartened because after all these years… I dont honestly see a change for the positive on the horizon. What I see is me leaving this city because you cant run a business in the fuvcking ghetto and no one wants to visit businesses in the ghetto…

There is a silver lining though. Crazy racist black lady and homeless black guy (who were about to start a real fight with me) WERE SUDDENLY STOPPED when a old black lady stopped her car and told the woman to go away. She stopped traffic totally, behind her there were two mid-aged white blue-collar guys in their truck watching the whole thing too so at least I had back-up. One of them told me to nevermind these idiots and let them go on with their sh1tty lives.

I’m reminded of the guys here that say, never help anyone, never try to be a good Samaritan. Never put yourself in any situation… You end up getting metooed (that also happened to me the other day but no one listened because they know its BS) or you end up on 6’clock news as “White Racist Male attacking defenseless black woman and homeless man” ….

Anyway… theres my dear diary for the day. You try to promote civility and ask dirt-bag parking lot hustlers to move on but nearly end up doing 20 years and get your life destroyed. Gotta love Dallas these days… this is what its come to.

That’s why I said that. I know you’re a good sport. Plenty of Burly Men wear a beard just fine. I need to get off my soap box. LOL.

[EGParticipant 1860]

I haven’t seen my bare chin in over five years. I only shaved it then because of a Halloween costume. Prior to that it was over ten years. I was born with a beard.
