debate users 'DumbDude43' and 'Nick Obre' on whether beards are based or cringe - a question for the ages

[timewave0]

You can’t really make a blanket statement about the aesthetic value of beards because it depends on so many factors — face/head shape, cleanliness of the beard, thickness, and so forth. If you have a weak chin and jaw, beard will almost always be better than no beard. If you have a middling facial structure, beard is probably going to be better but it depends. If you have a very strong jaw and chin, you’re going to look good either way so it doesn’t really matter. A gross and unkempt beard will never look good.

I have a beard most of the time because I hate shaving and my skin is sensitive, so I’m better off just using a trimmer. I maintain it enough that it doesn’t look unclean or scraggly.

Going by about 75% of the "Beta Male Facial Expressions" topic, yes, it's cringe/soy now.

beards are based but some soys use it to hide their soy face therefore making some people think beards are cringe when they are infact based

 

[Barry McKockner]

I like my beard, but I'm an unfortunate bastard who looks terrible without one.

It depends on where you're seeing it. If its just a random guy on a work site its probably just easier for them to have a beard.

If its on social media like YouTube or Instagram its a way for an insecure man to hide his weak chin or fat face.

 

[God of Nothing]

I'm one of those people who still looks like they're in their teens, so I have to keep it grown out.

 

[Death of an Ego]

I like mine. I don't give a fuck what you do with your face.
