That’s another way of admitting you’re gay, I guess.

I'm gonna come right out and say it:

A beard with no moustache looks weird.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Looks fine on this guy.

[–] ronl2k@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

A beard with no moustache looks weird.

Agreed. It looks like the man's face has been shortened.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Hey, he wants to look like a half-shorn scrote. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This seems like the first step in a multi step defence for when the contents of his computer are made known to the public. I mean, if the only thing stopping you from being fuckable to this guy is a beard.... YIKES!!!!!

Y'all making fun of this guy, but the fact is I've encountered several guys who turned out to be gay. And I don't have a beard.

Coincidence?

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

It’s super weird how they care so much about this shit. It’s like they made an HOA into a religion.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, you're gay mate. You just aren't into bears...

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thought you were talking about me for a second and I was about to say "No... no I'm very much into bears. Or rather I prefer when bears are in me."

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To hang out with the two wolves?

[–] DamnianWayne@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours ago

You're gonna have to ask the wolves, friend

This needs a follow up panel of Turkish dude and French dude making out and blushing.

Best I can do is lube up two buff men with olive oil and have them wrestle half-naked while other middle-aged men watch on the side.

Just another example of how the most anti-gay people must be in the closet because anyone who isn't should immediately know from their own experience that being tempted by other men says more about the one being tempted than the one "tempting" by just being there.

So these people that hear this shit don't think anything unusual about it, which implies to me that they can relate to feeling tempted and are thus in the closet themselves.

Of course, they (the followers) might just not be using any critical thought, which is why I'm going to keep saying it and do the critical thinking for them. If you hate gays that much, why do you follow people that are so obviously gay (or bi) but in denial?

Or if being gay is a choice, why don't more people who don't have a problem with it make that choice?

What a weird thing to confess. And in public, no less.

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 days ago

He probably didn't even realize he was confessing.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 153 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Does that conversely also mean that a woman with a beard does not need to wear a hijab?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

....are there any women here today?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 33 points 2 days ago

Inquiring minds want to know.

Transitioning most places
> shave
> makeup
> new wardrobe
> voice training
> hormones
> laser
> surgery
> therapy for all the times you get clocked regardless

Transitioning in Turkey
> shave
> congratulations, enjoy passing

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The fact that Turkish language doesn't have gendered pronouns makes this even funnier.

[–] railway692@piefed.zip 79 points 2 days ago

"You're the problem for making me horny" is giving Count Frollo energy.

Work on yourself, find a twink who loves you back, and leave the rest of the world alone.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

Okay, but the man has a point. Cleaning semen hair is not trivial.

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Man, that shit made me gay.

If it's causing you "indecent thoughts" it's because you're gay and like clean-shaven guys, my man. I guess gay guys who like bearded men are allowed all the eye candy they want there as long as they don't touch.

Sometimes, that's what it takes.

[–] Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

As a lesbian I can say with certainty that men without beards don't look like women.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Whereas, two gay men with one beard are a 1940s* married couple.

*est.

[–] Magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 days ago

Thank you, as a hetero sexual man I got so confused I almost turned gay. But you saved me.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago (12 children)

I don't know if this is disingenuous "reasoning" or, an honest position.

Ever since I came to understand that Flat Earthers weren't just trolls, like the way Birds Aren't Real folks ARE trolls, I've had trouble sussing out what's real and what's just bullshit "reasoning" to support bullshit ideals. I get now that I was just naive as to how incredibly stupid and evil people can be.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 55 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Flat earthers actually started as a troll, but people are really fucking stupid.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

Society obviously has a range of critical thinking capability. It used to be that every village had its idiot and the village knew who that was, and thus who to promptly ignore. The problem with the internet, is that all the village idiots found each other and started to form their own villages online. Along the way those that weren't quite as dumb saw the groups they formed and thought, "Gee, that many people surely can't be wrong", and the groups got larger and larger until they were big enough to actually cause harm.

Sometimes, the seed of that stupidity were jokes and trolls. Flat Earth Theory was one of those seeds. Trump's political career was kickstarted by 4Chan taking advantage of the same online landscape and legacy media's inability to stay away from a constantly expanding train wreck that generates infinite ad revenue.

He must be a fan of the popular Australian band 'The Beards' and their popular ditty: "If your dad doesn't have a beard then you've got two mums" and other excellent beard related songs.

Old mate probably just got lost in translation.

I was listening to a podcast the other day and it was saying that in some culture, I forget which, "a man" was defined as "wears a mustache and has a big hat" - because why wouldnt you have those if you could?

Funny how culture thinks it's the first and last word of a definition

So anyway, this guy has a beard and hat but no mustache, therefore not a man.

I feel like he needs that to be the case...

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago

It's okay, just say "no homo" after thinking the thoughts and ur good.
