No Nazi haircuts are racist and oppress immigrants

Brian I'm sure you wear something that's trendy, whether it's your shoes, denim, or whatever.

Everything we wear was/is/or will be a trend at one point, I'd bet someone out there has a similar look and style, we're all not unicorns.

If you feel like you could be getting better results with women then do the real work and approach more.

If actually learn about watches, clothes and shoes it'll make you a more interesting person in genera. If you buy an $10,000 watch it will force you to be careful, and thus will help you to pay more attention to details. Same with an expensive pair of shoes.. You'll have to take time to clean them and keep them in good shape. These are things that make you a slightly more interesting/attractive person.

edit: back to the original topic. Beards are awesome. Ever since I've had a full beard I've been getting way more girls than without.

I think opinions will depend on where you're from. In the UK, undercuts, hair back, and beards are extremely common at this stage to the point where I'd feel embarrassed to have it. It looked good for a while though, but it's been killed out.

I'm in my late 40s, and balding a bit on the top.

Maybe about 5 years ago, I decided that short hair works a lot better for me in kind of disguising the balding, and soon thereafter, I started to sport a kind of around the mouth beard. I think that it is good for me, but then about a year ago, maybe right before Halloween, I started to do a full beard (but cut short), and my GF protested when halloween passed but I continued to maintain the full beard.

I hand trim about every couple of days and allow the around the mouth part to be a little longer than the rest, and if I let it grow out too much then more grey shows, which personally, I prefer not to have too much grey showing at this point in my life.

Even though my GF complained quite a bit in the beginning, she has come around to accepting the whole situation, and she should because it is my choice anyhow (even though I do consider her opinion on some of these grooming matters and I don't want to give up too much discretion to inevitable henpicking attempts).
