i know this because i grew a beard shortly before this and was pissed off about it. then there was the lumbersexual thing or whatever shortly thereafter and that pissed me off too because i am literally a lumberjack

cowards hide behind beards

It's probably (pic related)'s fault.

Just don't act like a nu-male or wear gay clothes. You're a lumberjack by trade so really it shouldn't be a problem.

How fucking stupid
>t. Can't grow a beard

Unless it's trimmed nicely (chin line, kept under control) it's literally just laziness.

Who is the guy in the forefront?

why?
he's pretty cool

no, i know. thank god i don't need glasses for vision. but there were times i felt like i couldn't go to the grocery store after work, especially when wearing a flannel, because i didn't want to be confused for a faggot

Some faggot

Beard covers a strong jaw. It's like makeup for betas. You can have one and still be handsome, but know that you cover your jaw line. (it might be better for you.)

i assume it was somewhere around the time you realized you couldn't grow one

>t. weak chinned faggot who needs a beard to cover it

It’s a way they can be manly without doing anything manly.

A beard can be grown by any man but you can tell if it is a virtue signal by looking at the man. Just because these effeminate jackoffs decided to not shave it doesn't put a stigma on a beard.

They wear pants, shirts, eat food, etc. Look at the man and then judge them regardless of how they try to hide their weakness.

Dude, this is why I shave every day now. Nothing against the based males that still rock the beard. There's just too many faggits that have them now.

I used to say that only operators should be justified in growing beards. It's a privilege and operators have earned it by being actual badasses.

right around there

Good point.

Most people still look fine with beards, but these cucky soy boys are using beards to try to hide their soy faces.

A scammer.

The ultimate kike, he was able to brainwash several Sup Forumsirgins into buying his game.

I've been struggling to figure out a reason why numales all take pictures with their mouths agape like in the OP. It's one of those things that once it's pointed out to you, you can't unseen. Thanks POL! Anyways, my working theory is that it is a way for the numale to signal that he is ready and willing to accept the semen of his Jewish overlords orally. Like a good little soy goy.

Post axe or gtfo

>having a girly tame beard instead of a wildman wizard beard.

Pissed me off too. I’ve had mine since 2004/5. Longer than most of you have been alive.

>Tell nerds that you are making the best video game ever

Sounds pretty alpha to me desu

A beard is an easy way for a beta to have something to show them as being a man.

Even though they might proclaim they don't need to show off masculinity, it's still important to them. Otherwise they would deem it some sort of form of patriarchy or male chauvinism or something and not grow one since women can't and that's unfair.

In other words, they have nothing else to prove they are otherwise a man, so they resort to the only thing that is socially and publicly acceptable to display and is a defined symbol of what a "man" is since women and children can't grow one: a beard.

Then again there's people that are just lazy and some people that are just trendy and do it because it's the thing to do. Beards go in and out of style: unfashionable in the 50's & 60's, fashionable in the 70's & 80's, unfashionable in the 90's & 00's and now fashionable again and probably for the foreseeable future.

I would say however probably 95% of people with a long beard, not trimmed enough to define their face or jaw just look unkempt. It's lazy, hiding something, or they think it looks good or is cool when it doesn't or isn't.

Not grooming or trimming a beard though is just slovenly. It's like wearing ripped jeans or anything but a plain shirt: it's childlike, looks disheveled, and shows you for who you really are. Just as you can judge a man by his shoes you can judge him by how he grooms himself.

It's simple, they are trying to show 'inclusiveness'. Think about it for a second, the reason why they do what they do in the first place is because they were never allowed in the man tribe. So, they were forced in their weakness to find some other group to take them in. This leads to compromising everything about themselves for the new group to accept them.

As to the mouth open look, it is an involuntary response of joy, a silent hoot if you will. In real groups of like minded people who actually belong together you will see them shout out as an expression of belonging.

For these rejects though, they can't actually verbalize sounds because they know their grip on the group is tentative. They do not want to draw attention to themselves BUT they want to signal their joy.

So,... they take stupid open mouth pictures.

>beard
>flannel
Lel hipster

The beard has always been a sign of someone who doesn't take care of themselves and doesn't care about their image.

Real men don't wear jeans/t-shirts and have beards, they shave everyday and dress smartly.

>that pic
Please go to bed
Haven't you seen the hangover

Fucking hate nu-males especially ones from shitblue and the sjw/antifa faggots.

I use to be proud of my full facial trimmed beard because most of the dudes in my group cannot grow them well.

it a sign of masculinity but if your are slim or fit you will still look gay

I don't trim because I don't know how.
I look like an imam

What's with numales and that cock holster face

>paying for (((razors)))

when people who had lost all other masculine qualities started to grow them as a last desperate attempt to affirm their masculine status (but in a non-offensive way, that could not somehow construed to be sexist misogynist or toxic :(((((( )
same thing with the craft beer and crafts obsession.
All are things that are OK by themselves but are ruined by desperate nu -(no)-males.

beards are for muslims, faggots and Santa

This is the answer right here.
A properly maintained beard can be very attractive if the person involved isn't a cuck. The problem is that it's a traditional sign of msculinity that gets used by people who don't fit the image, like how lumberjack plaid shirts became associated with skinny hipsters.

It's a case of the clothes making the man, when it should be the other way around.

>Imitation
Alpha has beard. Beta sees beard and mimics Alpha.

Look at this rat.
Atleast they've been patching the game trying to bring it somewhat closer to what was promised

A well groomed mustache is really the patrician choice, unless you are blessed with prime beard growing genetics. It's refined but masculine, and a hell of a lot more unique.

I'm from Chicago and I would guess that 40-50% of other guys I see walking around have some sort of beard. They're common to the point of being an eyesore; most guys simply look dirty and lazy wearing them, especially that 'manicured stubble look that's become so popular. It actually looks like shit, like you were too lazy to shave and too impatient to grow a full beard.

Beards, especially the face-pubes that so many commies and muslims are sporting nowadays, just give the impression of being utterly uncivilized. I truly do not like being totally clean-shaven because it strikes me as effeminate and a kind of infantilism, but I do think some measure of facial hair is necessary.

Get a beard trimmer set, use the biggest guard that comes with it. Run it all over your face after combing everything up, go against the grain and go slow to get all the random hairs.

Then give it a day, take a shower, put some lotion on it. On the next day take a look and see if you are happy with what you have, if not, repeat with the next smallest guard. Eventually you will find a guard you really like and that will be the base. Clean shave your neck, trim up your lip and you are good to go.

when lumber jack hipsters was a thing

I'd kill to look like that :((

this gay guy from massachusetts on my fb always posts selfies and coments about his lumbersexualness and gayness

>faggotry

when have you seen a young, attractive guy with a moustache?

I've actually heard lumberjacks these days don't grow beards because they use mechanical saws for cutting trees and not axes and the beard can get caught in the machinery.

...

>Unless it's trimmed nicely (chin line, kept under control) it's literally just laziness.

trimmed is one thing, that stupid shit where they curl it like the second fag in ops pic is, well, stupid

...

minus the superman tier genetics.

t. numale with beard

>t. not a real man

nothin wrong with a good beard, lad

*block your path*

You can still wear a beard and not be a cuck beta. Just don't dress and act like them, you are good to go. But if you feel like them while having a beard...i have bad news for you memeflag user

It didn't in the places where beards were traditional already. Just urban retard areas where they appropriated white rural culture.

he's homing in on a dick in that pic

idk like 2013?

My grandfather had one, and it didn't look bad on him. I guess that was the style between 1950 and 1980.

Yes, continue to post pictures of fictional characters you larping faggots. In the real world, real men are clean-shaven.

It started in 2005. The trend is almost over, though. Just watch, clean shaven is the new masculine-again.

Who is this turkish bull?

It hasn't really. Numales just grow them a lot now but I don't think they've "ruined beards". It's not like you see a genuinely masculine man with a beard and are like "lol look at his numale beard"

looks like his head is on upside down

mine too.
Asking because despite being a beardlet, I can grow a mean moustache, it's just that I look like an 80's gay porn extra

When they started using a curling iron to make it look pretty.

perfect

it basically just a fashion and culture thing
if men in your country don't have for habits to have one they are fag that's all

Stop being so hung up on images and what other people think about trends. I have a short cropped beard and it makes me look cool. Nobody would ever call me a "numale" or whatever there fuck. It accentuates my razor sharp jaw

Soap operas are designed to serve women the types of guys they want to bone. Nearly all of the 'sexy' ones have this very short style buzz-beard. Big beards never happen. Clean shaven guys are husbands, dads or businessman types you are only supposed to find mildly attractive.

I unironically have a doctor strange style goatee

>i am literally a lumberjack
are your colleagues bearded or shaven?

>t. too poor to afford a razor

i look like pic related.
Do i have S-tier phenotypes?

>mine too
?
I've never seen my grandfathers and even my father with a beard longer than 4-5 days. My grandpa only had beard after my grandma died and he kept it as grief for couple months. Communists were gentlemen back then with shaved face and clean short haircut.

When cucks and betas started having beards i.e. around the time normies started being PUA ALPHA MALES

The high power men on the top usually are clean shaven. The rest grow and (optionally) groom their beard.

It was first ruined by hipsters, then hipsters turned into cucks and are now on the path to devolving into soulless bugmen.

Beards are only numalified when the person has a chronic t-shirt problem and is either skinny or skinnyfat and below 40 years old.

Older men with Beard? A-okay
Fat (working class) men with beard? No problem
Muscular men with beard? Fine by me
Literally any man who can close their fucking mouth when they take a picture and doesn't come off as a massive faggot who needs to tweet fucking anything that ever happens? You're probably okay

The day it was revealed that chinlets grow beards to hide their insecurity-inducing non-chins

They have definitely ruined beards. Calling someone a "beardo" is now as "bad" as calling someone a faggot. Without fail ALL males who are under the age of 40 are utter SWJs. Like a manager I know at a restaurant I used to visit, he used to be cool, but once he grew a beard he became a ridiculous gossip of a man, more woman than man really. And he made the restrooms gender neutral, which means women now pound on the locked door like crazy while you try to take a quick piss. It's useless and stupid virtue-signaling, wearing a beard. He lets the bitchiest woman on his staff dictate policy left and right, and coincidentally it all happened after he grew an ironic beard.

That guy looks like a manicured faggot.

Operators? Like military?
I'm a lazy piece of shit with(had for couple years till I decided I have to look good for this girl) an unkempt beard and I'm not afraid to show it.
Shaving is real for the rich. It's a new think that came with the industrial revolution and people wanting to look rich.
I'll try it out. My beards starring to get thick again. Honestly didn't even know beard trimmer sets exist.
Thought people just stood in front of the mirror tediously trimming with nose trimmers.(my daddy died in my teens)

I look almost exactly like this guy, sans the mop top.
I don't think hair works on androgynous anime faces

in the left pic he has a chin tho. Must look weird because how asymmetric his upper face is .

Beards always look shit on men younger than the age of 30, no exceptions, I don't care about your excuses, you aren't special

Also, beards are so commonplace that women are now viva la differance when it comes to clean shaven guys. I have always hated beards for how they feel, but they also make me look bad, less trustworthy.

Almost never, but that's because American society is so retarded that it has virtually shamed them out of existence with the whole "hurr durr u look liek a pedo" false meme.

The fact that hardly anybody wears it is something I find appealing. Being clean-shaven is for wagecuck normies, being bearded is for hipster fags, muslims and sjws. To have a mustache in this day and age you have to be a little eccentric and have the charisma to come off as dapper and charming rather than creepy.

My own 'stache admittedly isn't amazing, it's pretty close to Bronson's (I have a much better jawline though), but I have seen guys with legitimately shitty, pube looking staches with qt girlfriends, so it's not impossible.

True

Cheked.

>considered beards in america

WOHAHAHA!!!!111

And he'd look even uglier with a beard.

I grow a thick moustache, and even curl the tips sometimes, but get too self conscious at a point and just buzz it off.

Clean shaven is the best. Plus, why do you want to please the sand niggers?

I think you really got it with the first two paragraphs. Have a (You).

To further what you said, I’d add that I think the rise of craft beer culture can partially be explained by the same mechanic. Brewing and beards are all that most “men” have left in a society that sees them as so stupid and childish that they essentially need a playroom (the man cave) segregated off from what used to be a man’s castle. Deep down in their hearts, they know they’ve been castrated by society and these things are their only way they think they can retain their intended spot in society.
