Currently going for that axe murderer/ sexual predator/ roosh beard.

[–]HighAngleAlpha03315 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I've got a well maintained tactical beard. Women love it. Its not clever or ironic. I dont look like some faggot barista hipster. Women always ask to touch it and my go to response; beards are like boobs... You can admire them but don't touch without asking. Inevitable I end up grabbing her boobs as she strokes my beard.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This article is getting sooooooo much publicity. I swear Gillette is funding the PR for this. Some women like beards, some don't. One study doesn't tell us anything. Figure out what you feel most comfortable with it, and use the confidence to meet women.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

I can't grow a decent beard, so I'm waiting for moustaches to come back, but not hipster moustaches, I mean common man moustaches.

[–]HighAngleAlpha03312 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

You're waiting for it to be cool so you can be another anonymous member of the herd? Its your goddamned face. Grow your stache out and fucking own it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Looking like you know what's fashionable is very important. Don't preach that "just do whatever makes you comfortable!" BS.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Looking what you know what is in is important yes.

However so is standing out from the crowd.

How does one do this?

By adding elements that arent yet in style into elements that are already in and making sure that they do not look out of place/they look good.

You do not want to leave the impression that you are just another mindless drone. You want her to think that she barely sees x item with y item together but that they look good.

You must help us start the movement brah. I carry a strong mustache and sideburns. Been told it makes me look like i have authority by both strangers and familiars. Without facial hair though I look 15 again. The downside of having handsome but youthful facial aesthetics

[–]christiefrontdrive 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's about confidence. I'm more confident with stubble > beard > clean shaven. With 3-4 days stubble I look killer. Clean shaven I look like a 12-year old burn victim and I lose some frame.

[–]fletch6261 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I have had a beard since the time I could grow one. Mainly because I look like a 12 year old clean shaven.

[–]ScottBlues1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Same here. I'm 18 but I look 12 when I'm clean-shaven...then last year I stopped shaving: now, with a full beard, strangers say I look 23-24 ish... Beards are God's gift to us MEN, it's not a coincidence women can't have them ;)

[–]Endorsed ContributorRedBigMan4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well most women... There are a few circus performers ;)

[–]tenin2010br1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I can't grow a beard to save my life, I just feel lazy when I don't shave. Probably the longest I've ever gone is 5 weeks without shaving and it didn't grow much. I keep clean and I feel great and look great, despite looking like I'm in 7th grade. It's just about being confident with the look you can best pull off.

[–]Glenbert1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

No man under 30 should have a beard. It's like getting sleeve tattoos and then going to work in finance.

[–]Phaint 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Agreed with "beard" but not stubble. Don't rock over a 3 in a place of business.

[–]justthrowmeout0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

A 3?

[–]Phaint 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–]Nerd_Destroyer-1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Fuck you, plenty of young guys have enough testosterone to grow a professional beard

[–]Glenbert-1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

And so do their sisters. It's a matter of having the requisite life experience to say, "fuck it, I've earned this."

About 10% of men under 30 have earned that right. And 9 out of 10 of them were in the military.

Ergo, scarcity.

[–]dousche0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Beards in moderation will always look sexy, as it looks masculine. The only difference between a hobo and a hipster is that a hipster makes his beard look attended. Chicks love a guy that takes care of himself.

[–]siwhoaks0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Have a beard since last year ,grown post break up in a going my own way situation , I've noticed when out it is a conversation point, and at some point some normally drunken ladies will roll up and want to touch,nuzzle my beard...if it was clean shaven I would not have lady's rubbing against my bristles! It is a matter of choice for ladies, some simply do not seem to care as I've never found having a beard not makes any difference to my success with the ladies. It does however get in the way of kissing and eating out etc but again some ladies just don't care.

[–]astronautwerewolf0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Growing a beard was hands down, by far the best thing I ever did to boost my SMV. I'm just sad I waited until 26 to do it.

[–]red-guard0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Those comments are GOLD!!

[–]SouthAfricanGiant0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I do a shave once every 4 days.

Firstly I love shaving with my DE and spending time shaving. But after 4 days I have serious stubble which is great for when I want to go out a look a little more manly. But facial hair irritates the shit out of me so I usually get rid of it ASAP.
