If skinny tattooed youths with thin beards no longer cut their eyes, and thick-bearded brutals are found only on the pages of a tumblr, welcome to modern reality, where the demand for beards clearly exceeds supply.
Over the years, beards have experienced a wild rise in popularity and have become a must-have for any self-respecting fashionista. Those who did not grow beards bit their elbows and compensated for the inferiority with their mustaches, carefully twisting them with cosmetics from proliferating barbershops.
But, like anything too fashionable, beards will soon sink into oblivion and here's why.
They make you older
The bearded young man on the skateboard looks cool except in the photographs. In real life, such a guy, who can be given all thirty from a different angle, causes perplexed glances from those who do not know that a beard is cool.
A grown man who looks exactly like a grown man should behave accordingly, but this is not always the case. The beard imposes responsibility and patriarchy of character should grow with its size.
Everything passes
Honestly, would you be wearing the skinny pants and orange lace-up sneakers that you happily wore in 2007? So the same thing can happen to a beard, and although tattoos are no longer put to anywhere, one day your office life will force you to bare your face and show others your true essence.
Stop being like
The beard is a mask that makes you look like thousands of exactly the same mods in parks and redwings. Meeting your counterparts on the subway is already a familiar thing for you, but think, was this what you wanted as a teenager?
Think, maybe while you are young, you should show the world your youth, and put off your thick beard until you are a little over fifty.
This is ridiculous
A man who wears his beard like a brood hen will cause nothing in women but bewilderment and irony. A real man can wear a beard, but not smear it with oil in the morning and talk to the company about how life changed with the acquisition of a head of hair on the chin.
Big disappointment
French academician Pierre Bourdieu wrote about the social logic of taste: "social identity is the difference between members of society, and the difference is determined by the average number of similarities."
If this saying is too difficult for you, then think about how many you will actually surprise with your thin beard (even if it is thick and black - no one cares about this) except for your mother and your girlfriend, who dreams of brutal stubble rather than merchant shovel.
Yes, and you are unlikely to become a lumberjack, even if you put on a hat on the back of your head and a red plaid shirt.
