Beards have become the bacon of facial hair: good, but not the be all end all that everybody treats it like now.

Yes, you are. Bonus, now you don’t look like a trend following moron. Good job on being a free thinker. The beard is the mullet of your generation.

Also: not everyone can grow a beard or a moustache. See: me.

On the plus side, if muttonchops ever come back, I’m your man.

Shaven face is the new beard. Good work, you’ll enjoy how it feels.

You know what women love more than a beard? Khakis and a clean face. Nothing says, “I have an adult job,” like a lack of facial hair and mild surrender in the eyes!

Every once in a while I get the impulse to shave my beard off, like I did a few weeks ago. I wish I could make myself remember how bad of an idea it always is. I look weird without one, and I don’t feel like myself when I’m clean shaven. Fortunately it grows back super quick.

I’ve been bearded for almost ten years. I’m never going clean shaven again. But if you have chosen to shave it off, that does not make you less of a man.

I’m terrible at beards as well. I’ve had a goatee for years because I don’t really have a chin, but that's all I can do.

I’ve had mine since 2013. I don’t think my face looks right without it.

My beard was repressed and kept short by my ex. Should have been a sign. Now it flows full and free and the lady love of my life completely supports my free-range facial fur.

I get mine trimmed about once a month. If it gets too long my naturally wavy hair causes it to do weird things, so I can only let it get so long before it starts causing trouble.

I’ve gotten more attention from women since I’ve had it, but nothing serious has come out of it, unfortunately.

Every time I see a meticulously-bearded hipster I want to punch them until they cry.

It doesn’t work on everyone though. I could do it maybe if I wasn’t bald, but I look utterly strange when I don’t have a beard.

I just started growing one. Going on three weeks now.

I look Amish

My beard is, I can’t grow a beard. It comes in patchy and gross. I also work in a restaurant so it I just keep it clean.

What was that little boy?

Just kidding. No, the way you behave makes you a man or not.

To be fair, my beard was anything but meticulous. :P

I can offer a beer gut, old jeans and grease behind fingernails.

Neither is mine, that’s how I try to differentiate myself from hipsters. Unfortunately I also love flannel shirts, so that doesn’t help.

Doesn’t take a lot to make a hipster cry.
