Attack of the Facial Hair: Beards are BACK!
Remember those days when men ached to read the latest issue of Details, have nice haircuts and unshaven faces? Buckle up because the days of straight boy metrosexuality are over!
Boys across the country are laying down their razors and fighting back against metrosexual revolution. It’s back to feeling like we’re kissing mom’s sewing needles.
If you were dating during that small window of metrosexual history, you will remember the trend wasn’t so bad. Did we really mind looking into those faces with trimmed eyebrows and smooth chins? Hell no! Now guys are proud to show their man mess in the face area.
My boyfriend calls his scruff “neck diarrhea”—you know, the kind of beard that only grows loud and proud from the jaw down. But that doesn’t stop him from letting his stubble see the sun way too often.
Beards are back and the grungy lumber jack look is en vogue. From high powered male celebs to that annoying, but oh-so-sensitive poet type, all the dudes are sporting it. I think men were tired of women telling them how to look.
Of course it’s OK for women to have magazines and TV shows and movies and telling us to be hairless. Maybe we ought to fight back. If you’ve got a guy with a beard, how about refusing to shave your legs and pits until he relents and goes running back to the razor?
And if you’re a beard hater, like me, kill the urge and remember it’s not safe to run with scissors. Negotiation is key.
Our next target: the wrath of the ‘stache.

Personally, I love bearded men and I find it rather sad that it is usually met with such disgust.
All you ladies who don't like the "grungy lumber jack look"… that's fine. Just send those men my way.

WHO IS THAT THIRD GUY?! SO GORGEOUS! And I too am glad about beards coming back. But not mustaches. Mustaches are not sexy…

that look works SO well
i esp. love men with 5o'clock shadows
but a huge mountain-man beard is a little too much

I am not a fan of the facial hair. It looks good sometimes, sure, but I don't like feeling like I'm kissing sandpaper. Luckily, my BF can't manage to grow facial hair yet XD (Much to his dismay of course)

I love little scruffy beards, but moustaches… just no.

Some men suit beards more than others.
I have full beard and like it because it changes my perception of me – its not about fashion or trying to promote anything and the idea it is i.e. your idea is pretty damm shallow and completely subjective.
Comparing beards to arm pits / legs is completely different and childish to assume otherwise .
If you dont like beards so be it – no one is forcing you too but realise that men have as much right to be men as women do .
Wizards, Pirates, Gods , – some of the most powerfu male archtypes had beards throughout history why should it change now just because women see them as fashion accessory instead of human being ?
