It's funny you say that because I've read criticisms that hipsters' beards are too well kept looking.

Also, saying that you shouldn't smoke definitely flies in the face of what a lot of players here advise.

Also, it turns out this is Gavin's Mciness, who has an enclopefic knolwedge of the kind of clothing guys should be wearing if they want to get laid.

Who is to say that growing a beard isn't a "gate-way drug" to bringing out more masculine characteristics?

What are you trying to do? Fit in amongst other hipsters, get laid, or be respected as a leader?

I define my masculinity as being able to gain and maintain the recognition and respect of my fellow male peers. Ironically, this runs contrary to fitting into 98% of groups and intimidates the hell out of lizards.

Real talk: Women intimidated by masculine men make shitty wives and mothers.

I stopped shaving when I was 20 when I realized that I could actually grow decent looking stubble. For the most part, I've kept it trimmed between light and heavy stubble. A few times, I've let it grow for 8 weeks into beard territory. Two times in the last 7 years, I've decided to give clean shaven a try. I think each time spawned the next 3 years of not shaving.

I don't even think I have a particularly soft chin or anything. I just prefer the way I look with facial hair and it makes me feel better. It's also something women can't do and I like that part of it as well.

Regardless of whether hipsters and weak guys have beards... Im growing one out anyway.

The trouble is im 17 and I also have very little facial hair for my age. I look clean shaven from a distance, even though Ive never shaved in my life.

I think it's because the way that hipsters get defined here are suburban white kids trying to be cool.. Kind of like "wiggers" in the 1990s (but those are now called douches".

They are seen here as court jester types.. Like not real men.

I really could care less about whether some guy is scrawny and rocking the hipster look if he's able to pull quality ass. In fact, I'm more curious about what that guy is doing that works if he isn't displaying the traditional/stereotypical masculine attraction qualities.

Anyway, These guys look much worse without their beards.

Growing a beard. The one thing women can't do as well as men...even in heels.




Just kidding. There's a whole list of things.

Damn, that is one weak chin. That guy should really invest in a chin implant, they're only like 4k and would do him a world of good if he's actually self-conscious about it and not just having a laugh

Most hipsters have pretty lame characteristics (most of which I had when I was a semi-hipster in my early 20's). But they can also be pretty fun in a drinking situation. Gavin is pretty awesome though.

He's one of the founders of Vice. He sold his stake in the company for millions and has since supported himself by being a writer. Mostly online magazines with a libertarian bent. A few years ago, he started his own media/advertising company and it's been a runaway success.

Gavin's the thinking-man's hipster.

There's nothing wrong with growing a beard, but the overly supplicating teddy bear attitude that comes with the beard is what makes it hipster rather than full on masculine or whatever. In the hipster world, if you like your beard you can keep your beard, as long as you follow the femdom behavior protocol for keeping female attention. I've never been able to wrap my head around the submissive tatted up, bearded guy and his short-haired, tatted, dominant girlfriend. They do seem happy, like they fought tooth and nail to invert themselves for each other, but it just seems so weird to me.

It's funny because if I tailor myself right, I can fit in with the hipster crowd. But as soon as I say what's on my mind, they know I'm not "one" of them. Or we'll agree on the beginning premises (down with society, do what you want, blah blah) until you get into the process and ethics of it. I've found myself using Roosh's "Danish nodding game" on American hipster girls in the past to good effect. The problem is it takes so much effort to hold in what I feel/want to say (so much for be authentic/express yourself :laugh:)

Also I've noticed hipster guys are overly loud and animated in their movements. Their feminine behavior overshadows their beard. They can be fun to vibe and joke around with for a little bit and for all their 'femininity', they can be surprisingly motivated to meet girls. It's just their approach involves way too much supplication for my liking. And when they proudly proclaim to me they're a male feminist because it's the only ethical stance and how I must join them, I just can't...

stop smoking American Spirits

I will disagree here and say American Spirits are a great cig since they're slow burning. Pulled a girl from her friends a few weeks ago and was able to escalate due to the American Spirits taking forever to burn.

I say grow the beard, but follow up with "beardly" behavior if it's 'masculinity' you seek. I can see how in brooklyn this could be counter-productive. There's a lot of talent there but the feminism is strong in that region. Probably why I still end up targeting foreign girls who don't give a crap about such house of cards philosophy.

This feminine hipster guy phenomenon is an example of the clown game needed to hold a girl's attention in this day and age. You have a masculine feature like a beard or (p?)leather jacket, but you need to act overly dramatic like a girl or the gay best friend to make the girl feel safe and find you fun.

when I disguise myself as a red pill in a blue pill capsule, I get more positive reactions from the hipster world. It's all about calibrating how much of your true colors you can show at that point.

Another positive about hipsters is I can legit nerd out without having them give me a glossed over, catatonic look. If you need to let out some 'beta' nerd ramble, find yourself a hipster.

DAFUQ is a chin implant? I keep discovering more and more horrid things about ways to modify the human body every day... :(

Ha, it's not actually much of a modification. It's just a little silicone implant they slide under the skin for dudes with seriously receding chins. The operation takes like 15 minutes and is pretty cheap. My brother had one and his profile looks 10x better.

Here to back-up the amazing wonder that are beards. It's the one thing a man grow in 6 weeks time that separates him from the mass of clean-shaven men and women. It's a secondary sex characteristic that marks you as a man.

I have a weak chin, facial scarring, and very asymetrical facial features - my beard helps to give my chin depth and smooths out some of the asymmetry.

You don't avoid being a "hipster" by not growing a beard; you avoid being a hipster simply by not being a pussy-beta stuck in late post-modernist ironic cliches.

There was some troll making a big deal about his chin the other day. I said that guys who aren't happy with their chins could just grow a beard to control what was happening instead of getting surgery.

Here's an example of the transformative power of a beard on a man's face:



More examples: http://www.collegehumor.com/post/6969087/10-reasons-you-should-never-shave-your-beard

I think beards can be more fierce looking and mysterious. They can be used to reshape the face, and the imagination often has to be used to get what is underneath.

I've noticed that when a hot girl where's glasses, I've found myself trying to imagine her without them.. so she got one extra pellet of attention from me.


Ive been wearing a full beard for years now about 1 months worth of growth trimmed . about 1/2 the time when i first meet a chick she tells me she doesnt like facial hair. Of my lays 90% of these women stroke my beard like a king after i fuck the shit out of them and tell me..."they dont usualy like beards, but mine is sexy". I own my beard. Im confident and dont give a fuck what people think , especially fickle bitches.

Yeah, girls don't like beards, short guys, fat guys, or poor guys.. That is of course unless the guy has game. Then all that shot goes out the window.

Girls are very disconnected from their own reality. There minds are thinking one thing while their pussys contemplate another.

The only thing worse than a hipster beard is a hipster with an old-fashioned "ironic" mustache.

The other day I saw an arch-hipster sporting the Val Kilmer/Doc Holliday mustache from Tombstone.

I was going to ask him if he was my Huckleberry, but then I remembered I don't talk to hipsters.
