No, I'm not talking about guys that can actually grow them and male them look decent like Harden and Keuchel and Fitzpatrick. Those are fine I'm talking about hipsters. All these random young baseball guus and general douchenozzles that walk around looking like they have a bag of Scott Tenorman's pubes glued to their faces. If you can't make it look even decent, don't do it. It doesn't make you look cool. And before anyone asks, no homo, and I'm of the age group that I'm talking about (28). Anyone else with me? Disclaimer: final thread-starting straw was Sam Dyson's insertion into this game.
If it's true that these guys look like idiots with those beards, then you should encourage more guys to have those beards. It will make you look better by comparison. See: Costanza, George on pigmen
Sorry -- I don't really care. It's just a fad, but I don't have to touch their faces, and it just makes them look more anonymous and similar. Meh. Funny (to me) side story. When I first started teaching college, oh these many years ago, I would show slides of all these great scientists from the late 19th century in certain courses, and a student asked, "Dr. B-Bob, why did all these guys have those long beards?" I said, "It was just the fashion of the time." And then in deadpan, "The great scientists of your generation will have really large, ill-fitting pants." They furiously copied this into their notes. Little did I know what was coming: the return of beards and skinny jeans. Yikes.
Screw beards. You white boys get to have everything. White guy in a beard= hot girls thinking he's trendy, a model, or a manly man. Non white guys with beards instantly give girls terroristic fears. I remember I used to love the undercut. When it became a trend and I saw so many girls saying every guy should have them, I went for it and as soon as I looked in the mirror I realized I didn't look like any of those model looking white guys, instead I've been conditioned my whole life to see myself as a savage who used to take white mans scalps. Same thing with beards. Damn my hairy euro genes. Body and facial hair is worthless. My ancestors were already the future. Hairless bodies and no facial hair. I wonder as we all evolve if were going to shed our worthless body and facial hair and start to evolve darker to this region basically recreating the first nations all over again in image rather than genetics. That's kind of trippy. That or we become goobacks. But anyway yeah man, **** you and **** beards.
Now that you mentioned it, I've never seen a Native American with a beard. Or at least that I can recall.... B-bob, I know a chemistry professor that looks like one of the guys you're describing.:grin:
I never really cared for dyeing hair goth black or with the goofy red streaks, tattoos stem to stern or piercings in every orifice; probably because as a black guy it's a slightly bigger gamble with my social and professional credibility, but if we got through the '90s with that crap we can probably handle a little extra facial hair nowadays.
