The identity and beauty of a beard

[@StanVanalstine]

Beards are a true issue when it comes to how society views them.I personally think that all men should have beards but that's just my opinion.

Great video

[@manxkin]

I like to garden and play the piano and sing along with the oldies. I like to grill and ski and scuba dive. I like black coffee and red wine. I like to smoke a pipe and I like English blends and aromatics and I have beard. My beard does not define who I am but is a part of who I am. Part of my identity and the beauty of a beard.

Who cares what women think? Having a manly beard is a manly obligation.

[@supjoe94]

I love how you are humble about your beard. People think that you have to grow a massive beard to be a man, but its what each individual can grow. And thank god for the women who love beards.... cause our beard hair is no different than the hair on our heads

[@mikeymike4000]

Thanks for that

[@academiaidrissi]

real and deep words of a true bearded man ! i see my self in each thought ! the bearded has many personality and psicological aspects... and one of them i think, is just what you have brought, its about beeing yourself, authentic, and not just try to be what woman would like us to be, see... a man that builds his self in what woman want him to be ( or others ) is a week man.

[@mikeymike4000]

Thank You! It means a lot

I could never have no beard, Id feel very insecure and naked without some form of facial hair. I really feel the beard for a man is part of him, its not like the head hair, because it says alot more about the character of a man to me, integrity, honesty to your gender, decisiveness and maturity. My beard lives, and its form is forever developing, year by year.

yes I agree, I have been bearded for over 30 years. I have always been that short guy with the beard. Recently I let it grow long and and I was blow away by all the people who came up to me to tell me how much they like/love it. It is white, curly and, I think, beautiful. I hear "hey Santa" a lot and I think of it as a compliment even though I'm a bit thin to be the Clause.

Dude you seem like such a cool guy.

A response to manxkin: Well put. I play guitar, scuba dive and ocean kayak. I teach 5th grade, surf, take care of my 88 year old mother, am a brother to 4 sisters and 1 brother. I restore old vw's and love watching the NASA channel. I have a beard and long hair but that does not define me. I am trying to practice buddhism. A key principal is the teachings is impermanence. We are constantly changing and can not hold on to the past. Having a beard is a just one of the wonderful aspects of our journey through this world. ZenDog

nice one

[@TheSteezyCheese]

At this point I barely think about my beard as a statement anymore! I feel like it is just part of me, and when people comment on it I am surprised to find they usually think it is cool.

[@thebeardchannel8342]
