Can someone explain the current hipster beard thing
I'm living in a part of town that's right next to Houston's hipster mecca. I see this look fairly often. Usually the guys are wearing clunky old fashioned glasses, otherwise stylishly dressed, and then this huge beard that makes it look like they're one of the duck dynasty guys.
 I REALLY don't get it. I would think this look with be like a babe repellent, but I assume they've had the kool-aid too. Anyone understand this or know where it came from?

maybe it's a way to cover up those regrettable neck tattoos.

15 years from now there will be a new look and all these ex hipsters will wonder as we are wondering now.
I like the evolution.

What I don't understand is how any of these guys get women. What woman in the last 80 yrs. wants a man with a beard like that?

A surprising number. Which is irritating, since I can't grow any sort of beard worth a damn.
