This is the in thing now.
Call it hipster or whatever, but guys with beards are swooping mad fly girls in w'burg. Beating me out easily, and I'm fucking more than the average guy.
Some fashions really do demonstrate higher value.
It's a fashion thing. Guys who ignore fashion in the game could be limiting themselves greatly.

I rock a beard and can't complain. Some girls hate it but those who like it - if it's still unusual in your environment as it is in mine, then you have very little competition.

My guess is that the beard is popular, because it's something masculine in a sea of androgyny. A lot of the dudes rocking them are still mad weak looking.
Having a beard plus being a bit built might be the killer ap right now. Just make sure there's something to tone it down and suggest that you're not meathead.

I have a short beard-about a weeks scruff and long sideburns where I keep the hair longer
Girls really seem to like it-I get a lot of positive comments on it

I was just talking about this yesterday. There are lots of dudes with beards these days. but, just like in the normal spectrum, there are lots of loser dudes who happen to have beards.
if you're cool, fit, stylish, the beard right now is a major plus i think. but it depends on your circles. when i go to places that are 'cool' with the younger folks, they love the shit out of the beard. when i go places more aligned with my professional life, people are like whythefuckdoyouhaveabeard like that?

The hipster virus is very powerful in SLC; and I notice that every hipster with spaghetti arms has a beard. I think it has become popular because it doesn't require any effort to get one. These asswipes are sporting a full on Grizzly Adams beard but couldn't change a tire or bench their body weight if their life depended on it. It's easier to not shave than work out or learn a useful skill.
Fuck I hate hipsters.

Because I'm struggling to figure out the reason why after hearing that, I'm feeling like I'd rather get fucked in the ass by a Cape Buffalo than ever have to sit through dinner with you. Maybe you can figure it out for me. When you do, let me know. I'll be at Natasha's house."

He is talking about Williamsburg Brooklyn. I notice I get more looks with my goatee than when I'm clean shaven

Beards have always been popular in the North East.
When I lived in San Diego, I rocked a beard and was given weird looks. I started going clean shaven to fix that.
I like the scruffy look though. I take the clip off of my trimmer and get a nice 5 o'clock shadow look. I think it looks better on me than all out hipster cave man.

I'm 32 years old and never liked facial hair at all. For whatever reason (I always tell people it's because I don't have kids, but more than likely it's genetic), I have an extremely young face, and have been mistaken for being 10 years or more younger than I actually am. In theory, age (or perceived age) shouldn't matter, but when getting started with game, I was concerned that my youthful appearance might prevent some people from taking me seriously (both men and women).
I've tried growing a full beard a couple times, but had issues with ingrown hairs on my neck and the sideburns making scratchy sounds on my pillow while I'm trying to sleep. A few months ago, I started trying out the goatee/mustache combo. I'm pleased with the result, because it adds one more masculine quality to my overall appearance.
It's already become such a ubiquitous part of my character than when I shaved it off, I felt like I looked very strange. I immediately started growing it back and now it's fully realized again.
I don't bother asking myself anymore whether women will like a certain aspect of me, if I change my hairstyle or clothes or whatever. Now I just look at myself in the mirror and decide whether I like it or not. That translates into confidence, which is what attracts women anyway (regardless of what they think they like).

Androgynous hipster losers are growing beards as a subtle grasp for any semblance of masculinity.
Being masculine in their actions results in them getting shamed and in their weakness they resort to incorporating traditional masculinity.
The women love this. But what the men dont realize is that women shaming their masculine actions is just a shit test.
