I love a man with a nice beard.

good for you man. a beard is exactly what you need now that you're unemployed. it will keep you warm at night and hug you and tell you everything will be alright.

Ive been living in cities in America for 22 years and have never NEVER heard anyone say:

>>I was made redundant last week.

How are you made redundant? Did someone coerce you into doing something you had just done? That sentence has no meaning.

Like saying:

would you ever go even as far as to do

>>8016036
I'm a britfag and over here it's a nice phrase which corresponds to "being let go".

I had an 18 month contract with the company I worked for and they've been downsizing, they chose not to renew my contract. My position was no longer available. I am redundant.

It does make sense, even grammatically.

>>8016058
What kind of beard are you going for OP? Picture related?

>>8016036
It's a British term to mean laid off.
'We now have a machine to screw the lids on the toothpaste tubes so your job is now redundant'

>>8016073
Think Billy Mays plus 2 inches.

YOU'VE BEEN MADE REDUNDANT?

I FEEL YA BRO, THEY JUST MADE ME REPETETIVE.

MAYBE WE CAN START A BAND.

I've had some kind of facial hair since I've been able to grow any. OP, I think you'll find just growing that mother fucker as long as you can is quite rewarding.

Depending on how it grows, how well it covers your chin, the size of your moustache, will suggest how best to style it if you want to. For example, not everyone's moustache will meet with their beard, in which case a tidier beard can look better.

>>8016144
What do you do about patches where nothing grows? like under the chin or part of the neck?

>>8016130

THEY MADE ME REOCCURRING, CAN I JOIN TOO?

had beard shaved off
kept it trimmed real short, was kinda baller
shaved clean for a while
grew sideburns
grew sideburns to under ears....
grew mustache cut in the sideburns
shaved mustache
cut sideburns to 3/4 of the ear

I think beards are overrated.

People need to start respecting the mustache. If you have the balls to walk around with a full mustache like a cousinfucking, webfooted hillbilly, I will respect you.

My old employer didn't make me redundant, they just sold the building I worked in.

They still needed me, they just didn't feel like paying me anymore.

>>8016239

Some people cannot grow mustaches; I, being one of those, stick with sideburns.

lol at americans shitting bricks over redundancy

>>8016278
>americans
>redundancy
the us doesn't use that terminology, idiot.
they say "laid off"

>>8016321
i know but you have to admit how funny their reactions are.

I shaved my beard down to a "designer stubble" this morning after reading that long-ass beard thread on here the other day. Possibly yesterday.

My chin feels naked D:

Anyway, beards are awesome. Grow a fucking beard.

>>8016278
People aren't used to hearing it put that way because in the US you're more likely to have your employer give you a false bad review acting like you don't deserve to be there.

I got a bad review while exceeding expectations. The old lady next door to me got "retired" when she was still depending on the income. The kid on the other side of me was told his term of work was "completed." Basically the only people who kept their jobs in that area were the pointy haired bosses.

We all knew they just plain didn't have a place for us anymore, the CEO of the company even spelled this out to us a week prior.

Why were they so motivated to do it this way? I think it also has something to do with the fact that not a single one of us ended up being eligible for the unemployment insurance we had been paying into. The retired lady was supposed to be retired, never mind that she needed that money for food and rent. The kid on the temporary contract was temporary, the years he spent there didn't mean anything. Me? I wasn't eligible because I left voluntarily on good terms - mind you that I was given a bad review while exceeding expectations and had my performance called 'unacceptable' by people who had been rubber stamp approving my performance the entire time until that point.

beards are bamf. if i didn't have a vagina i would grow one of these motherfuckers and be a complete beast.

>>8015990
don't throw your life away OP

4chan is obsessed about beards. I don't understand why.

>>8016581
because beards are great things.

Yeah man grow that beard and keep it until it's long and gray. Personally I can't wait for my beard to turn white.

>>8016581
because they are either pre or mid pubescent, or effeminate girly men that could not grow one, so they live vicariously through badasses and OPERATORZ

BEARD!
been working on this cunt since christmas

>>8016614
Fuck yeah. I'm 25 and have a beard, and I get grey hairs. At the moment they look random so I pull them out, but once I get enough to have that 'salt and pepper' thing I'm leaving them in.

>>8016668

yeah but you havent been working on getting a job

have fun being unemployed

>>8016668
sorry but you gotta do better man, wtf is that? can you only grow on your chin or what? that's not a beard, that's some bumfluff.

>>8016686
Believe me I do
>>8016691
no man, its my glorious squarebeard!

>>8016756

Guys like you give beards a bad name.

Just saying.

>>8016756
Fucking hideous.

>>8016778
aww, thats just mean
how come?

>>8016802
meet
>>8016801

>>8016778

no, ironic hipster beards give beards a bad name

>>8016756
thats not a fuckin beard it looks like a tee for your face to be punted, nigger

>>8016869
At least he can grow a proper one. Also PBR is quite decent.

If you want to wear a beard then you should consider becoming a full fledged beard man.

1: Gain some weight. Be heavy enough to pack a gut, if you don't want a gut then building up heavy muscle is an acceptable substitute.

2: Own a gun. You should own a gun anyway, but all legitimate beard men own guns. If the government oppresses citizens out of owning guns where you live then you can instead meet this requirement by defeating a dangerous animal or nigger with bare hands or small bladed weapons.

3: Learn survival skills. If you were suddenly deprived of human civilization, how long would you last?

4: Learn to fight. Watching MMA on TV does not count. Your best choice is old fashoned boxing, because if your fists aren't good enough then it's time to switch to your gun.

5: Talk to girls. Talk to guys. Talk to strangers. It doesn't matter whether you get laid the first time, you will have friends sex and popularity sooner or later because you will be making yourself worthy of it.

This is what a beard man is like. If I see one more politically correct skinny vegan wearing a beard I am going to grab the special edition U2 iPod out of his hands and smash into a million pieces with my heavy duty work boots.

>>8016869
If the beard isn't attatched to an ironic hipster, then it isn't an ironic hipster beard. Beards are bigger than that. Beards are BETTER.

>>8017356
By shaping the beard on both sides to steer it around the bald spot. Just form a line where you carefully shave off facial hair in specific areas, you can go with whatever you want as long as it is even on both sides.

I dated a beard man once. He was great. He had a big ginger beard and I loved it.

>>8017356
You need to give it more than 2 weeks to grow. Give it 1.5 - 2 months before trimming it. bald spots and patchiness will usually fill in by then.

>>8017408
it's pretty big. My imagination tells me it would look terrible.

>>8017434
Why did you cheat on him and break his heart you horrible slut?

>>8017434
Was he a beard man or just a man with a beard?
Please rate on the following scale:


+10 beard man beard <------ neutral ------> hipster beard -10

Problem /r9k/?

blxlxl

I want a muttonstache because facial hair is awesome.

>>8017479
Its a girl.

>>8017142
You sir, are a champion of the ways of the beard and I commend you for it.

>[ ] Beard
>[ ] girlfriend

pick one

>>8017527
Do you seriously think I look like a girl?

>>8017559

You could ask me this a million times and I will always choose the beard.

>>8017559
whatever. i gots both. :)

I started growing facial hair in November. Had a full beard for awhile, but it didn't grow in very thick or even on the sides so I had it trimmed down to how it is in the pic now.

Pic was taken last month at a bar to celebrate mustaches and facial hair.

I'm thinking of trimming the beard down to a goatee next time I go get a hair cut.

>>8017559
I have both. Your argument is invalid.

Grow your frizzy hair out really long, grow a beard and never wash it, wear only black clothes with band names on them, and blast metal in your 1989 Civic. Talk often so that people can hear your nasally voice, and be sure to breathe only through your mouth. You will be knee deep in pussy.

Clean shaven, well-groomed, cheerful guys with nice haircuts NEVER get any pussy. The only way to get your dick wet is to browse 4chan every day while letting your hair and beard grow long. Trust me.

>>8017684
>Grow your frizzy hair out really long, grow a beard and never wash it, wear only black clothes with band names on them,

Fuck yes

>>8017680
That's probably the most attractive woman I've ever seen in my life. Is she still married? Hot damn.

>>8017705
Dude you must be really awesome, let's get together and play some power chords and double bass drum. Then we can smoke weed and talk about how high we are until my mom gets dinner ready for us. Then we can drive around town flipping people off and cursing all those well-groomed, beardless dudes with girlfriends.

I just shaved today =I
I am going to take care of it and go the hans gruber route.

>>8017719

Even I almost missed the sarcasm in that post. Oh the internet.

>>8017673
YOU HAVE GIANT LIPS.

Nice mustache, tough.

>>8017742
Sarcasm much? I don't even do drugs.

AWWWWYEAH
Beard o'clock is it, chaps?

>>8017673
bodily avatar of the pringles guy

>>8017673

LOL xD HOW IRONIC

>>8017673
IT'S BEAUTIFUL

I've been growing my beard for 2 weeks now. Haven't shaved since exams started. You, kind Anon, have given me a goal.

PIG DISGUSTING

>>8017775
Yes I do. =/

>>8017821
Never thought of that, but yeah I do kinda. lol

>>8017835
I never understood how facial hair can be ironic.

>>8017988
Glad I can motivate someone.
