How about “it’s easier then shaving everyday”?
8 years later - yup. Look at this thick, manly symbol of my lack of fucks.
You can tell a good developer/sysadmin by the length of their beard. If they don’t have to shave to get a job that means they’re 1337
Yea. You can go 3 weeks without trimming and it just looks kinda full. You can go one day before a clean shave looks like you don’t care about it.
Exactly. My lazy ass shaves every 2 to 3 weeks when it starts itching. In the summertime more often since a beard sucks when you try to wipe your sweat off…
this is me. would keep in summer but it just gets uncomfortable. have a lot of stubble through the summer.
It’s not about hiding a weak jaw line? Jokes aside, it is interesting that a lot of the masculine activities we may have naively agreed were intended to attract women, are to repel other men and avoid competition.
Well what does my mustache say? That I’m sad the craft beer bubble burst?
Aren’t we all?
My kid didn’t think I look enough like a real dad so he harangued me until I grew a beard. And hey it grew on me and eventually even on my wife. Well you know what I mean.
Then it grew on the dog. It grew on the couch. It grew on the house and the neighborhoid block. It grew on the town, the county, the state. It grew on the Earth, the sun, all the way to Oort cloud. When it grew on Sagittarius A* we stopped keeping track.
With a little more ridiculous imagery, that could’ve been a Shel Silverstein poem.
Well, except he didn’t write it…
Beards are makeup for men, change my mind.
Do nothing, and voilà! No makeup.
Do nothing, and voilà! Beard.
Beards take effort to remove, not to grow, and exist completely independently from human fashion and technology
Beards do take effort if you don’t wanna look like Robinson Crusoe.
Not that much effort. I trim about every two weeks. My GF puts on makeup every day.
Beards are way easier than makeup
not looking like robinson crusoe sounds makeupy to me.
Wtf
Also, shaving hurts.
As in the occasional cuts or like actual constant pain? Not judging or anything just mildly concerned.
General razor burn. I have pretty sensitive skin, drawing sharp metal over it repeatedly irritates it.
Appealing to prospective partners is not why I have a beard. Improving my standing with other men is not why I have a beard.
I have a beard because…I like it. It’s for me. I was clean shaven for a year for a job and hated it so much I quit.
If you don’t mind my asking, why do you think you hated it so much? Just hate the way it looks on you specifically?

It made me look 10 years younger and I’d prefer to look my age

Shaving is annoying. Occasional razor burn and cuts aside, it’s an “all or nothing” style. If you miss a spot, it sticks out against the smooth skin
-
Having to do it daily sucks especially for people like me who get 10am shadows. Post-shave stubble looks bad. Post-#1 trimmer stubble looks the same

It’s relaxing to scratch a beard and it doesn’t feel good to scratch a freshly-shaven face.
I trim my beard once a week and I can do it half asleep. it stays relatively nice and if I miss a spot, it mostly blends in. Sometimes during the week I will trim the couple of hairs that grow a little higher on my cheeks but even if I don’t, it doesn’t look too bad.
