Why are many men growing beards again ? (lemmy.ml)

Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

When I was still in the closet, I grew and maintained a big beard as part of my attempts at performative masculinity.

Not saying that this is what's happening with most men who're growing 'em out, but sometimes I see a bloke with a well maintained set of facial hair looking absolutely miserable and my egg radar starts shrieking.

I'm growing it to see how long it gets until it gets too annoying. Every day I want to shave it off or at least cut it fairly short.

It tickles.

Actually it is now moustaches that are back. And sometimes mullets.

I’d love to have enough hair to grow a mullet. Not that I want one, I just want that much hair.
