Im Having A Rant..."Beards"

[The Equalizer]

I kept a short beard a few months ago. I really don't mind having one myself, and for most of the posters on this thread, it seems that they have had beards for years, if not decades. I think the big issue stems from the 'hipster' culture which seems to be prevalent across the UK.

A 'hipster' can be spotted by a combination of factors:

1. Beard. Usually quite large, but well kept.
2. Check shirt. Usually red.
3. Tight trousers which accentuate the lack of musculature in their legs.
4. Thick black-framed glasses.
5. A quiff or combover haircut held in place by huge amounts of hair product.

A good place to spot a hipster is 'The Defectors Weld' pub in Shepherds Bush. They usually drink craft ale.

It's natural for blokes to have beards, I don't know why some people are so anti.

Besides, shaving is such a pain in the arse.

(Pun intended).

I'm nearly 30, have a big beard and drink ales including craft beers. However, I am far from hipster.

I don't match points 2-5 though. So maybe you need the full set?

Beards are a sign of loose hygiene. I got my wife to shave hers off. Enuff said.

Best analysis I've seen for ages.  And it describes me to a T - well, maybe apart from the hairstyle!

I used to have a Brazilian housekeeper. She was useless at making the beds but very tidy downstairs.

Guess I'm lucky since I have a wife who really doesn't care whether I have a beard or are clean shaven.  So I do what suits my fancy.  Last October grew a beard till Movember.  Then shaved it off and grew a cowboy stash.  Everyone had a good laugh with that one.

Your right shaving is a pain in the backside, but so are Haemorrhoids.

I'm sure some women read this web site, do you think we could have their opinion on beards.
Me, I can't stand them!

Then try looking at them sitting down, you will feel a lot better.

I hate beards. Only weirdos have them. Those wet slobbering lips through all that facial hair is revolting.

Beards are not my Cup of tea either. I once met a Russian Woman in a bar in Moscow, with a seven o'clock shadow, who asked me if I had read Marx on Communism, I replied " no I haven't, but I have red marks on my trunk."

I have a beard because one  I have a bit of a weak chin and two I worked a job for four years where I had to be clean shaven so I am making up for lost time. I find the people that complain about beards tend to be the ones that can't grow them.

I started this thread as I read somewhere last week that a group of students at Hull
University had been for a while carrying out a survey on Hygiene.
It turned out so they say that men with full beards were a lot more unhygienic than clean
shaven men, in most cases men with beards had a slightly more unkept appearence
clothes wise, unpolished shoes, but most of all dirty or long fingernails, and in some cases
suffered from body odour...
Im not for one minute insinuating that the beared posters on here are a scruffy lot... :hook:
Just saying like as im a clean shaven tidy sort of fella, well for most of the week anyway.

I once kept a pet Goat that had a Blokey.

I know a bloke that keeps a goat called Ivor..

I have to be honest and say I really don't care what other people do with their chins as long as they are comfortable. People who choose to talk about others looks are welcome to wallow in trivia.
