I personally think the defining quality of the cuckbeard is how unkempt it is.
Betamen see a beard and think "manly" and then grow a whole bunch of pubes on their face, but put no effort into washing/trimming/shaping/styling them in any way. If you see an actually handsome man with a beard, even if he's deliberately trying to look a bit disheveled, he's still put some effort into maintaining the thing.
