Can we ban beards?

Why do so many men have beards now.

It's a fashion, R1.

After sex they would have to scrub their beards.

Hipster thing

They are also filthy with countless pathogens.

Never kissed a man with a full beard. just men with stubble that hurts. would love to though as long as it didn't have a funk to it.

Men with hot beards should be honored.

Beards? So 2016, next

On many men with average looks, a good beard can make a lot of positive difference.

No, but we can ban OP!

Problem solved.

Why? Men with beards are hot.

the whole scruff thing needs to go bye-bye.

Or maybe it can just stay and you can turn your eye toward the clean cut men because they still exist.

Beards only exist because women liked them, selected for them. They have no purpose other that women thought they were sexy. It's similar to women having unnecessarily large breasts. They're far larger than they need to be to nurse babies. Males liked them big to resemble butts. Butts used to be their main attraction to women before human's ancestors started standing up.

Agreed that many an average man looks hot with a beard, they'd otherwise have a weak jawline.

No, they're not.

[quote]Where did the story about beards being “as dirty as toilets” come from? Rather than a peer-reviewed study in a scientific or medical journal, the research involved a TV news crew swabbing "a handful" of beards in Albuquerque, NM. The samples were then tested by John Golobic, a microbiologist from Quest Diagnostics, who declared on KOAT-TV, "I'm usually not surprised, and I was surprised by this." ... After the story went viral, some commentators pointed out that although there was no reason to doubt what Golobic found, the approach to the study fell far short of the best science.

It's amazing: wash your face, and if you have a beard, that too, and then all the germs and poo get washed away.

"Beards only exist because women liked them"

No, R16, you stupid bitch. They exist because they are part of a man's body. Beards have long been fashionable to other men, you ninny. Your myopic interpretation of human evolution is sillier than a Warner Brothers cartoon.

I dig them. I'm so glad that they replaced the Metrosexual look where men were plucking their eyebrows and shaving all of their body hair. That was a gross phase.

"It's amazing: wash your face, and if you have a beard, that too, and then all the germs and poo get washed away."

Poo in your beard? Is this a new thing amongst the younger set? You crazy ass kids will do all kinds of freak.

I've had a Van Dyke, goatee, and full beard hiding my weak chin for decades. Do not see the correlation between white male privilege and wearing facial hair....

There isn't a correlation. It's just another race baiting topic on the DL. Business as usual around here.

Isn't everyone so over the whole beard thing yet? Hasn't this fad run its course?

I do think laziness contributes to how long 'scruff' is lasting. I'm guilty of it myself.

OP is a sociopathic Republican.

"Hasn't this fad run its course? "

After 40,000 years or recorded history? No, dear. It hasn't.

of, not or

Beards are fine. If you don't like them, shaving is a quick solution. Tattoos on the other hand are disgusting and permanent. We cannot "ban" fashion statements. But following the ridiculous concept, let's "ban": tattoos, skinny jeans on men, steroid inflated douche instaho bros who pose hunched over to maximize the look of their contracted "abs" they are so proud of, people who can't look away from their cellphone for more than 10 seconds at a time even when sitting at the dinner table, and rude trollposters who try to make everything into "racist!" or "misogynist!".

You sound just like Janis Ian, R29. Jealous that you can't hack it with the pretty boys.

Beards exist because they make life easier for men.

I've had a beard most of my adult life (I'm almost 70 now) and I can't imagine having to shave every day.

Tattoo covered steroid queens in skinny jeans are "pretty boys"? Oh my. There is nothing to be jealous of. They're disgusting and a total turn off. I like normal looking men, which seem to be getting harder and harder to find as everyone becomes a clone instaho.

DL disagrees with you then, R32. Endless threads jizzing all over them are all over the site.

Created by 2 or 3 posters daily.

Beards are a symbol of white men not wanting to shave, op, that’s all.

Refer to r31’s post. Beards also keep one’s face warm.

Yes, and it is unfortunate R33. People seem to be attracted to whatever the latest fad clone "look" is, and usually it is not a particularly good look in my opinion. That's why I commented that it's getting harder and harder to find men who look "normal" to me, because the norm has become, sadly, looking like a instaho clone. But to each his own. What I think about the world at large doesn't mean shit.

Are you rich r36? Or hot?

If not...no, it does not matter what you think.

I enjoy the millennial clone look.

White male privilege? My sides. Let's keep in mind a lot of these privileged bearded white men are truck drivers, mechanics, poastal carriers, and bus drivers. Just like everyone else. Not my fault my ancestors fucked who they fucked and gave me white skin and the ability to grow a great beard. Fuck off already.

R39, I see they didn't burden you with a sense of propriety...

i think we've got a winner in r12

there's nothing wrong with beards.

A hot straight dad with a backpack is hot. especially the ones I saw in college getting their late education.

^oops wrong thread.

OP please stop.

Please... No!

OP crawled out of Lipstick Alleys toilet

Women have makeup, men have beards.

Love beards, love stubble. Both are instant hard-on for me on the right guy.
