Is having a beard based or cringe?

I think that's retarded. If you're sick, deformed, obese, etc., then it's in your best interest to address those. And a similar thing applies to keeping yourself clean and presentable.

Can you imagine growing a beard and still being this ugly? Lmao

Both
They're either a normal based family man like old times or a massive basedfag

Everyone is defective in some way, but people aren't machines to be "fixed." Our defects are what force us to be a society. I can't do everything, and neither can you.

*Onions fag
Fuck this shit filter

Okay. Go die of cancer then, because that's what's natural.

LOL fucking newfags. Gotta love the weekend posters

There are worse things than skipping chemotherapy.

I am an overweight, short 5'6", balding chinlet. Let me have one thing that people say looks good on me god damn it.

No. Beards are gross. They have the same texture as pubes because that's basically what they are. Food and drink gets stuck in them every time you have a meal. The ideal facial hair is stubble, because it's not long enough to be gross, dirty or make you look like a poser, but it's a good option if being clean shaven makes you look baby faced, which most clean shaven men under 30 look like.

I hope you don't go to the hospital when you break your arms neither, because that wouldn't be natural, and it's better for them to heal in a crooked way that will leave you permanently disabled. Or that you'll accept dying of pneumonia, since despite the fact that it's completely preventable with modern medicine, it would be unnatural. Come to think of it, I really hope you're not living in a house build with modern construction materials and machinery. That wouldn't be very natural, would it?

People did medicine and shelter-building before the modern versions, and if you want to do the modern equivalents well, you study the history of how they came from the natural world into the modern world. I'm not saying that a man should never cut their beard, but they should be confident in explaining why they do or don't, because they know and like the base that they're working with and want to be their best. Again, like coffee. Black coffee is good, but strong coffee with cream is better. If you appreciate the base, that makes whatever else you do even better.

I fail to see how that's a delineating factor. Obviously technology and humans as a whole arose from nature, that doesn't make modern inventions natural.

If you want to look like a hobo or an islamic terrorist, then you do you, but trying to justify it by appealing to what's more natural is brain-dead, since what's more "natural" is so obviously inferior in outcomes in so many cases, to the point that holding this up as some overarching principle is straight up irrational. I'll throw you a bone and say that there are things to learn from nature, and perhaps some of those lessons when applied would improve our quality of life, but it's not a given, and needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Again, like coffee. Black coffee is good, but strong coffee with cream is better. If you appreciate the base, that makes whatever else you do even better.

I'm not sure whether that's the case. You can hate black coffee and like coffee with cream, and it's hard to say whether your enjoyment would be lesser than the enjoyment of someone who also likes black coffee. Enjoyment is subjective, often times very relative to the person's experiences, and because of that here it would be unquantifiable.

Beards make you look generic as fuck. Beards are makeup for men.

t. twink that can't grow facial hair

You can hate black coffee and like coffee with cream

Not really. If you don't like coffee, why are you drinking coffee? Go drink something you like.

Men take care of their beards like newborn babies, retard.

But having a beard is itchy

Coffee with cream tastes differently than black coffee, so it makes perfect sense why someone can dislike one and like the other. There's a component of black coffee's taste in coffee with cream, but it can blend in with other tastes better, or certain aspects of it can be less overwhelming. If I try to draw an analogy, it's kinda like with spicy food. The spiciness can be good up to a point, but after that it becomes unbearable. You can see "black-coffeeness" in a similar way.

Weird way to describe circumcision.

Coffee with cream tastes differently

Yes, because you added cream. You like the cream, not the coffee. You'd be happier if you just admitted that you liked smoothies.

It's based when you don't put a huge amount of effort to it, I trim it once a week and keep it at about a 3 in length. My beard doesn't look huge or messy like those retards in the pic, it just looks like a full well groomed beard.

It's cringe because I can't grow one.

Cringe because dipshit Millennials with their "quirk chungus" sense of ironic humor ruins everything. I have no need to hide my jaw.

Someone can also like coffee with cream, but dislike drinking cream by itself. I don't know why it's so hard for you to wrap your head around this. What, do you think that unless you like unseasoned chicken, you don't actually like seasoned chicken, but the seasoning by itself? Do you often times consume ingredients of dishes by themselves to prove to yourself that you actually like the end product?

Basically no one chooses to have that wild ass length and style of beard anymore and so what you end up seeing, is a bunch of pansy boys who want to look tough, or they want to look rugged, so then they grow their shit out like that, but you can especially see it in guides like the one picture with the glasses.. total fucking pansy

do you think that unless you like unseasoned chicken, you don't actually like seasoned chicken, but the seasoning by itself

Yes, go eat bacon

Do you like raw bacon? If you don't, then do you actually like bacon, or just the heart that's used to fry it?

It is based; as long as it is a good beard and not a wispy shit one.
Since the 2008 economic cataclysm (and the early 10s start of the incel boom), beards have made a comeback.
The media have kept predicting the end of the beard trend, but in this globalist-incel hellhole, that's never happening.
Our beards are basically the only way we can display our masculinity. Even if many of us are doomed to being incel/NEETs.
As a baldcel manlet, I am basically obliged to have a beard to be even slightly respected by normcunts. I wish women would fuck me.

Beards like this just make me think of redditors desu, it always amazes me how someone so low t can grow a beard. All of these are too long, bottom left is the closest.

It's not cringe. Just don't be a beard oil guy. It's so easy to not be a beard oil guy. Just have your beard, don't grow it out too long, don't spend a lot of time and money grooming it, don't shave it in an outdated style, and don't talk about it.

It's cringe and no I'm not shaving mine, fuck off.

Beards for non-white guys
Clean shaven for white guys

Growing a beard is itchy, having a beard is not.

My beard and patch but I still have "Chad" cheekbone so clean shaven for me
