i'm pretty tired of hearing about beards. what is the deal with them? i guess a kind of accomplishment? i don't care who has one, how it looks, or how many people think it's funny to talk about someone's beard. i've never understood it. facebook pages dedicated to beards because .. that's funny for some reason. photoshopping beards can be cool, but i really just don't care about them. i'm glad we had this talk.

sounds like someone is having some beard issues

The thing is, beards were pretty unacceptable for a large portion of the 20th Century, outside of biking enthusiast clubs. This is why people are excited that you can wear beards again in various social spheres.

more like, stupid college humor that everyone has to follow because that's what's trendy now.. ironically. fuck if i care about someone's beard like it's some kind of statement or joke. fucking hell

I grew a beard because I thought I'd look good with a beard and it was true and my beard hair grows fast making me bristly at the end of the day anyway?

It wasn't an act of serious social criticism, and in fact it's nice that I can grow a beard now without it being perceived as a cultural statement.

This is true, although the 60's into the 70's had a period of liberation for all facial and scalp hair. Before it all got put back in the box, by those selling you razors and zealous females that hate beards.

young guys should only grow out their beards if it grows nice and thick. if it looks like ratty pube patches... well, i'm just gonna say that people judge based on things like that.

But do they?

what a fucking hipster
