I know exactly what you mean but the words "bacon culture" make me wanna go live in the woods forever
oils and creams can feel great in a beard, but the real reason to have a big beard should be laziness.
Yeah I have some oil I use sometimes. I mostly just hate the marketing around the stuff its almost always toxic masculinity.
Yeah. I'm not here to buy manliness in a can, I just want my beard to behave! I don't need some short fiction conflating Vikings, fantasy dwarves, Santa, and fantasy Vikings taking up half the package.
Plain old food grade coconut oil has never done me wrong, but maybe just because I'm an uncultured pleb.
i cant stand the garbage print on very male oriented products. i damn near shit the shower extra high the other day with my partner while reading one of our products. the very casual, not even clever alpha like "dude joke" commentary was out of this world. its basically "smell good, girl will fuck" sorta message. and im hell bent on ending this motherfucking shit.
Is there actually any reason to use them? I don't know what they do or if they're a scam.
I use beard oil and it keeps it soft and smells good. My beard is pretty wiry/curly and can get crispy if I don't keep it oiled. Then I comb it out and it looks big, full, and soft.
They smell nice and feel nice. I think oils also help prevent your hair from breaking when brushed.
But mostly I use them because I like smelling nice.
I don't understand why some guys think all women prefer beards. I don't like beards myself (still I don't base my judgements on looks so it's not like I'd turn a guy down just because he has a beard.) but most other women I know are split like 50/50 on it. It's not some major manly thing that will make or break who you find attractive.
a professor one time told me that the more men that have beards, the more women prefer men who are clean shaven, and vice versa. with this knowledge, i was able to deduce real radical centrism (and thus find facial hair that is always attractive): mutton chops.
Hell yeah, mutton chops!
Haha, that professor makes it sound like women like men who rebel against trends. I guess that's true when it comes to my preferences but I can't speak for all women.
the professor was talking about the different types of natural selection, i can't remember what that one was called, where individuals choose partners who are "against the grain" but i guess that is one possible example of it in humans. wouldn't surprise me if there was some truth to it but i guess it was probably worth more as an instructional example than as a hard fact. still a fun bit of trivia
As someone with a beard, and thus, often exposed to beard culture, there is a common joke among beard bros that they grew a beard to be attractive to women, but are mostly complimented on them by other dudes. Kinda like when gym bros joke about how their muscles often only get direct attention from other gym bros.
So there is at least a streak of self awareness in the culture.
Good! People shouldn't change their looks to get approval from others anyway. I'm sure your beard is rad as fuck!
Sadly, I had to take off most of it. I work hospital sanitation, and the masks we use for the covid wards can't seal over a beard.
I just want this shit to end. I'm vain as hell! I wanna look pretty again dammit!
Also all the deaths. Those are bad too.
I'm grateful for your beardy sacrifice, comrade :chavez-salute:
Honestly I think it’s more just that certain male facial structures just look better with a beard. So what happens is there’s some dude who’s clean shaven and has shit luck with women and then grows a beard and suddenly women are messaging him on tinder for once and so he tells all his bros “chicks dig beards”. But it wasn’t really the beard itself it was just his jawline looked better with one.
this is fembeard erasure
im sure theres at least a dozen, and they are valid.
thicc beard, thicc booty. manly man!
longing for when I can shell out 4000 bucks to get my beard blasted off by a laser
The only reason anyone should have body hair is because of pure laziness like god intended.
This is your brain on marketing and zero self awareness.
I like my beard because laziness and it’s clear that my body wants to grow one (regrows so damn fast) and it pairs nicely with my olive skin tone and rugged jaw line, but I hate shit like this. I just want a goddamn wet shave not a marketing pitch on a twelve step beard regimen, barber!
Is this guy getting a check for making this shit? Does he have sponsored posts or something? It's either that or he's out of his fucking mind. I could not imagine scouring your living area looking for objects to make the same 2 jokes 100 times. But if I got paid more than my shit ass stupid job then 👀
Beards make me look too basic. When I had a beard I'd see other brown haired, brown eyed lads around my age with a beard and think fuck, I look exactly like that. I like my jaw and chin though so do prefer a clean shave, I just don't do a good job of maintaining it and end up with a fashionable stubble most of the time.
It sucks. Especially the market of selling oils and dumb crap like that. Beards themselves though rule. I hate shaving. The hair on my head is straight but my beard is all thick and wavy and when shave with a razor its a mess of ingrown hairs.
some survey found that women preferred brad pit without a beard than with. it's usually men that find beards to be more attractive.
Correct. Personally I present a handful of interesting studies and see if she appreciates them too.
im fully aware that surveys aren't good but idk it's the only data i remember seeing about this topic
It goes in cycles whether being bearded or clean shaven is more in fashion.
Maybe as we get fatter beards will have more staying power.
some survey
Say no more, running to the bathroom to shave right now.
Seriously tho, it's just a part of fashion like haircuts, it comes and leaves popularity with the seasons.
