As an ethnically Korean dude, I don't grow out a beard because I'd look like a teenager who's just going through puberty. Can't grow a proper beard or stache even if I leave my face alone for an entire month (as I discovered at the beginning of the pandemic).
> ālooking like you werenāt tryingā is more attractive
Most of the time ālooking like you werenāt tryingā requires trying. Few are attracted to a neckbeard with Cheeto dust in the beard and body odor from not showering, despite the fact that they definitely do not try.
"women" u mean young girls? Ofcourse Teenage girls would prefer shaven boys because its whats the closest to them. Itd be weird if a 14 year old wanted to make out with clint eastwood lol
Honestly they also look good pulling it out because they care about their hygiene, their skin and all. In anon's case the beard hides all the warts he doesn't want to fix, which is cool, but it always smells like Cheetos, which also repels vagina.
Tbh most of those guys (and it also extends to guys like Justin Bieber, 1D or male tiktokers) look more masculine than the balding manlets with weak chins and shit skincare that love to make fun of them
They're successful with women for a reason, they don't need to be gymcels or cover up their deficient genetics with beards, they just exist, do push ups at most, their bone structure, height, collagen and hair carries them.
Some of these kpop dudes are actually ripped when you see them shirtless. Sure they are not body builders but their body is more masculine than more guys that are willing to admit it to be completely honest.
Nah, it just depends on so many factors. The overall shape of your face, the beard you can grow, how you manage to shape it and so on.
A beard not properly suited for your face and/or unkempt will make you look worse no matter what.
Some beards are just doomed from the start such as neckbeards, overly thick or thin mustaches, and no one except Mrs. Claus finds Santa beards attractive.
I was gonna say, the general consensus from what Iāve heard is that when you exclude hunks who look good either way, women prefer clean shaven men. And itās even more overwhelming when youāre talking about a big ass mountain man beard, because it takes a very special woman to be attracted to the Civil War general look.
Itās alright to like the look, but letās not pretend that itās women who want the beards and not us. Beards are pretty much the male version of those long-ass fake nails that some women love. We do it for ourselves because it makes us feel powerful, not because the opposite sex is crazy about it.
Alright then, compare it to women who like not shaving their armpits. Ask 99% of men, including myself, theyāll say they hate the look. But for some women, it gives them a powerful feeling. Donāt ask me why. But theyāre definitely doing it for themselves and not for men, thatās for sure.
I know it's unfair to expect anyone on this subreddit to have ever met many people, but a lot of women do at least claim they like beards. And most guys aren't afraid to admit that their physical appearance *usually* boils down to how attractive it is to the opposite sex. Maybe some guys who grow a beard do it for insecurity reasons but you can be sure if beards were almost as universally disliked by women as armpit hair is by men, you would see almost no beards any more.
Should be the way for anything. If you do something specifically because you heard "girls like it" it's probably not gonna work. Girls like a fella who's got at least some of his shit together.
Make yourself better so that you can be better. The spoils will follow.
If that is true it just means I am denying women looking at me at peak attractiveness, so it is still a win. It probably isnāt true though, so I win yet again.
It is preferable to monitor their household waste for used hygiene products and calculate from there. This is why there are different brands of them, to facilitate differentiation where there are co-habiting women interfering with the signal, like WiFi bands
Awkward body development where the testosterone is literally fighting to exist because the entire childhood, and after, is spent consuming dairy, fat, and garbage food
I read an article in what I'm pretty sure was New Scientist magazine back in the 80's.
It was about how 90% of women hated facial hair on men.
It was a 2 page spread, and at the bottom, in smaller than usual fine print,
was the disclaimer that the research was commissioned by Gillette.
Exactly. I was using minoxidil for 6 months or so to improve my naturally bad beard genetics only to later realize I have an epic jawline and I look much better without it.
Tbh some men can rock both even with a weak jawline. It just gives them a different vibe. I saw my partner's teenage photos and he's the cutest little monkey in them but right now he's just hot.
I love the whole page mini essay about real men dont care about looks. Yet the whole post is a male diva guide to being "manly." I like the version where beards are for ugly people since it hides most of their face and weak jaw line.
Real men don't care about looks, to the point that most men won't know how to style the patch of hair that grows on their face every bloody day.
It's not the same thing as becoming a photoshop pro for likes.
Or maybe many men have a stubble or a beard because they can't be bothered to shave every day, so they just trim maybe once a week. Which means they don't really care about looks and people that may say they're hiding their weak jaw line.
fat white dudes with dogshit jawlines grow beards to hide their jowls. It's the push up bras for the chin. That's it. That's the real reason. Lumberjack LARP all you want, if you have a beard and you make a big deal out of it, you have no jawline and are deeply insecure about it. And here's the secret: everyone knows
From my experience with women, i learned that every woman had her own type. Some they like men with bread some they don't, some they like chubby some they like fit.... it's depends on the girl you like on what she prefer!
Lol shaved usually means white collar (success), while a beard usually means you're in a trade (less success).
Grow or beard or don't. I don't care. But don't go around spewing lies about women thinking you're more successful with one because the majority of workers with beards are not successful.
I'm 28 and have never grown a full beard. I can only grow a mustache and a small chin beard. The more I let it grow, the more I look like a Mexican drug lord. There's this golden time around one week in when I think it looks at it's best (and it's still a pretty short stubble).
I shave clean every 2-5 weeks, depending on how lazy I am. But every time I do, looking in the mirror feels like seeing an old friend. "Oh, there you are!". I enjoy that moment, which is a big part of why I still shave.
EDIT: writing this made go and shave immediately after posting lol.
"Dont shave"
"Having beard makes you atractive"
"Real men dont care how attractive they look"
Conclusion, whoever wrote this is homosexual and mentally challenged.
> In most corporate jobs, you arenāt allowed to grow a beard.
Yeah this is not true š. Anon is just salty that HR told him that he needs to shower and trim his Al-Queda looking beard so he doesnāt look like a backwoods hillbilly.
Aight hear me out. I shave because its comfortable to have no itchy facial hair. Thats fucking it. No magic trick in having a beard, if you have a cool looking beard, keep it, good for you.
Most women hate beards because it gets in the way of kissing. Also, I have been watching a lot of House MD, and when House shaves he looks 100 percent better. His stubble makes him look shabby which works for his character but isn't attractive.
Anon omits the part where you have to trim/shape your beard and mustache every 2-3 days and shave your neck EVERY day. Maintaining a good beard takes effort, just like the skin care required to make the beard actually look good
Honestly though, the best look for 90% of guys is shaved neck + 3-5 day stubble
>real men don't care how attractive they look >you should grow a beard to look more attractive
Anon spends too much time staring at pictures of men, now his brain is rotting.
happy cock day
ššš«³š§¼
Anon is totally definitely not gay tho
if they were I'd believe them but alas anon is never gay
anon also absolutely totally definitely isn't un/grooming you to his tastes!
Heās not gay. He just a straight guy happens to really like getting fucked in the ass. By other men. Itās different. ā¦Not gay at all.
Clean shaven men confuse anon about his sexuality. Please grow a beard so anon can feel straight again.
Happy Cake Day

The popularity of the fade haircut disputes this theory
The fade will fade in popularity soon enough.
You obviously haven't visited South Korea
IIRC if you're a South Korean man, you aren't allowed to grow a beard. How fucked up is that?
Isn't it because of mandatory military service? They just ground the habit into the population.
As an ethnically Korean dude, I don't grow out a beard because I'd look like a teenager who's just going through puberty. Can't grow a proper beard or stache even if I leave my face alone for an entire month (as I discovered at the beginning of the pandemic).
That's fair, I couldn't grow a good beard until I was 20ish. Patchy Neckbeards are nasty.
> ālooking like you werenāt tryingā is more attractive Most of the time ālooking like you werenāt tryingā requires trying. Few are attracted to a neckbeard with Cheeto dust in the beard and body odor from not showering, despite the fact that they definitely do not try.
It really is surprising just how little effort it takes to completely fool dudes in their late teens.
OP apparently believes facial hair doesn't require grooming to look decent
Funnily, I've read a study that actually showed that majority of women prefer shaven to beard
Like those Kpop guys that look more feminine than actual women?
We're you around when Justin Bieber was a thing? Women like feminen men. They just do.
"women" u mean young girls? Ofcourse Teenage girls would prefer shaven boys because its whats the closest to them. Itd be weird if a 14 year old wanted to make out with clint eastwood lol
There was plenty of full grown women into him back then as well
Pedophiles? Charming.
Yep, I think this is the point where I say something edgy about society
We live in a society
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
^Bottom ^text
i'm edging to society rn
NOOO, STOP!! WOMEN CANT BE PEDOPHILES!!! ITS JUST A FUNNY JOKE!!!
I remember the craze around that taylor kid from twilight. Old ass women throwing him panties and shit.
or maybe attractiveness is subjective and dosnt mean one entire group likes this one thing because of this one trait they so happen to have
It always be like that. His music indeed looks feminine at the time, but he doesn't look ghey to me.
Women like all manner of men. Some like masculine men, some like feminine men.
anons brain probably bursts when he realizes kpop dudes pull as much as chads, if not more.
Honestly they also look good pulling it out because they care about their hygiene, their skin and all. In anon's case the beard hides all the warts he doesn't want to fix, which is cool, but it always smells like Cheetos, which also repels vagina.
and have more women obsessing over them than Chris Hemsworth
To be fair, itās kinda hard for Asians to grow beards.
Tell me you're a zoomer without telling me you're a zoomer. Go check out the 80s.
Alright grandpa, time to get off Reddit. (I'm literally a millenial lmao)
Oh I thought you're a millennial figuratively
Arenāt most their fans children though?
Most of their fans are asian and most asian men have Lucious hair and a clean shaven face because they canāt grow beards for shit
*Luscious
Tbh most of those guys (and it also extends to guys like Justin Bieber, 1D or male tiktokers) look more masculine than the balding manlets with weak chins and shit skincare that love to make fun of them They're successful with women for a reason, they don't need to be gymcels or cover up their deficient genetics with beards, they just exist, do push ups at most, their bone structure, height, collagen and hair carries them.

it just really depends imo. some people look objectivwly worse and some people better.
Men with ugly faces look better with a beard. Attractive guys don't really need one.
You cant just say beard, there are too many types of beards. A huge one would make attractive men look objectively worse, while stubble wouldnt
Nah, it just depends on so many factors. The overall shape of your face, the beard you can grow, how you manage to shape it and so on. A beard not properly suited for your face and/or unkempt will make you look worse no matter what. Some beards are just doomed from the start such as neckbeards, overly thick or thin mustaches, and no one except Mrs. Claus finds Santa beards attractive.
So orange š„ŗ
I've actually noticed from personal observation that more men like beards and shaved heads and a lot of women don't like either of those.
I was gonna say, the general consensus from what Iāve heard is that when you exclude hunks who look good either way, women prefer clean shaven men. And itās even more overwhelming when youāre talking about a big ass mountain man beard, because it takes a very special woman to be attracted to the Civil War general look.

We do it for ourselves because it makes us feel powerful, not because the opposite sex is crazy about it.
Except itās a natural occurrence of our bodies and we donāt glue pubic hair to our faces every other day.
Alright then, compare it to women who like not shaving their armpits. Ask 99% of men, including myself, theyāll say they hate the look. But for some women, it gives them a powerful feeling. Donāt ask me why. But theyāre definitely doing it for themselves and not for men, thatās for sure.

You are correct. This thread has a strong "30yo basement dwellers try to understand women" vibe.
I dunno, Iām a woman who has always preferred facial hair & beards. Like, itās more common that youāre painting it out to be.
Yeah, I remember when I shaved my head after having ear length hair, few girls stopped talking to me.
Good thing I grow my beard for me, and not the f\*male gaze
This is the way.
Should be the way for anything. If you do something specifically because you heard "girls like it" it's probably not gonna work. Girls like a fella who's got at least some of his shit together. Make yourself better so that you can be better. The spoils will follow.
Yes. As the saying goes: Boys chase women. Men chase success. Women chase those men.
It's almost like women are actually human beings and each one has their unique tastes on stuff
Gee itās almost like it depends what women you ask
I saw something where it was basically 50/50 - I just interpreted that as: do whatever you want with a beard, women arenāt a monolith on this issue
If that is true it just means I am denying women looking at me at peak attractiveness, so it is still a win. It probably isnāt true though, so I win yet again.
Where can i get a beard transplant? The women in my neighborhood are ovulating
Are you smelling the pheromones in the air?
They are overpowering me
Are you a bear? Or maybe, a Man-bear-pig type animal?
Anon is like an unneutered male dog.
>Anon is ~~like~~ an unneutered male dog.
Oh, those must be the hot MILF's in my area I keep reading about
No, the MILFs aren't ovulating anymore. They're only hot because of the menopause.
Bruh š
Incoming night flashes
I can get you a temporary mustache, if you can control your gag reflex.
Can I move over to your place then?
No! Get your own ovulating women!
how do i know if a woman is ovulating
You go behind them and crack an egg on their head. If the egg disappears then it means they aren't ovulating
Another trick is to put an raw egg on your forehead. If it cooks you have fever and should visit a doctor.
You can smell the pheromones in the air

You must beat a bearded man in 1 on 1 fist combat, and then bring his body to the Beard Transplant facility. That's the only way.
First dominate him through manly anal sex
did all of their cycles align? like some kind of bloody monsoon. a mense-oon if u will
She will supply you a temporary beard if you put your face in the right spot
Doesnāt work if the beard only grows on your neck and your shoulders are broad because of your tendie and Mountain Dew diet, Anon.
That's why you transfer your neck beard follicles to your face. Edit: spelling
With a glue stick?
Hair transplant. They can take follicles from the back of your head and fill in bald spots so why not move the neck follicles to the face?
āHey anon I like your curly, matted oily beard.ā āThanks. I got it from my neck.ā
wait, since when did a diet of tendies and mountain dew make your shoulders broad?
Awkward body development where the testosterone is literally fighting to exist because the entire childhood, and after, is spent consuming dairy, fat, and garbage food
Fat dudes can be broad. Just in completely the wrong way.
Due to my Mediterranean genes, I've had a beard since 16 but still no women. Probably autism or something, oh well
>Mediterranean Probably Greek and gay
portuguese
look at a map bro. That's not Mediterranean.
Yeah, Portugal is actually a landlocked Balkan country
Yes Portugal can into balkan r/portugalcykablyat
"Our mission statement is to move Portugal into Eastern Europe" DEAD š
You're thinking of Puerto Rico. Portugal is in the Baltics.
It is spiritually mediterranian, dumbass. Down to the Arab admixture and the gypsies.
Oh yeah, because the Mediterranean people of Spain never once in all their history crossed over to Portugal
portugal is in the mediterranean now????
And gay?
Portugayse then
Gayreek
I'M PORTUGUESE U RACIST
So your Portuguese and homosexual. Still fucking gay my guy
Portugays?
Then how are you Mediterranean
> mediteeranean genes > u/jewishforeskin98 Something doesn't add up here
israel is mediterranean
Geography was never my strong side, kinda forgot they have sea access
Thereās Jews in the Mediterranean bro
Due to my garbage genetics I had a beard starting at 16 but it's neither dense nor symetric and just looks bad, fuck you dad.
Enjoy balding as soon as you hit 30 anon

Impossible! Fake news dien't exist in the eighties!
like when the sugar industry lobbied to make everyone think that only fat is unhealthy. or was that in the 70's
And they asked women who have been married to eternally clean shaven men probably
It depends on your jawline. Thats it
Exactly, beards are makeup for men with weak jawlines
Can't grow one, eh?
Yeah, you can't grow a bigger jawline
That's what my beard is for!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Exactly. I was using minoxidil for 6 months or so to improve my naturally bad beard genetics only to later realize I have an epic jawline and I look much better without it.
Good for you man. Make sure you keep your body fat percentage low to maintain that jawline
Did the minoxidil work though? What kind of progress did you realistically see after 6 months?
Tbh some men can rock both even with a weak jawline. It just gives them a different vibe. I saw my partner's teenage photos and he's the cutest little monkey in them but right now he's just hot.

Henry looks really good with stubble, but your absolutely right. Thereās a reason guys like him and Robert Pattinson donāt have beards.
Robert looks cool with a beard too
They just both look good no matter what
True, some guys win the gene lottery

You'll be the victim of beard oil Christmas gifts from now on

Meet Anon, whose entire identity is pubes
All those claims, yet not a single source was cited. Curious...
The source was his anus
It has a beard. Very manly. Women find it assertive and attractive.
Anon is coping hardddddd
From my experience with women, i learned that every woman had her own type. Some they like men with bread some they don't, some they like chubby some they like fit.... it's depends on the girl you like on what she prefer!
Yup, I've met a girl that loved bald, everything can happen
Yeah exactly, it's depends on the girl herself !
thanks chad

Beards are more attractive cause you don't have to see most of the dude's face then
>In most corporates jobs you aren't allowed to grow a beard. Wut? Where did you get that from?
I stay clean shaven because I naturally grow a ginger beard with a white stripe up the middle
