My facial hair sucks
- Thread starter Blue Skies
- Start date
Moustache/chin are the only parts that grow decently for me. My cheeks/neck are very patchy and asymmetrical. I'm almost 24.
It is the "rugged" fad look for hipsters. People want to look like they can survive out in the wilderness. I think Daniel Bryan started it some years ago.

Not intentionally, but I can't say I'm surprised to see you avoid answering that question in the last thread 😂😂
Oh wow I'm popping your ignore cherry, I'm sorry to disappoint bro but I'm over the age of consent hope that doesn't ruin it for you!

Never heard of it, seems like many are recommending it here tho.
I'll research a bit.
I don't want any negative side effects.
I used to have a joke of a beard.
Now it's starting to cover my face evenly, finally. And that's since I fixed my diet. Still, I have one sad hold on the right cheek, I've been at war with it for a few months.
I also realized I get a 14 year-old oily skin the day after I eat too much Nutella.

I've had one since 2001 so maybe it'll come back around again in another 5 years
I feel you OP. Having to constantly shave because your facial hair is patchy, and can't let it be with a good looking beard, sucks.

I have fairly dense facial hair and I still go with stubble most of the year. For the couple of months that it's cold in Texas I'll go with heavier stubble/short beard but that's about it.
It's all about playing to your strengths. My hair started balding at 22 so I shaved it off and count on my facial hair to keep my head from looking like a giant thumb. If your facial hair is sparse and pube-y, then you'll be better off clean shaven.

I've always been jealous of my dad and brother's glorious beards. I can grow a beard but it isn't as robust as theirs.
Seems like my older brother took all the beard growing genes because my little brother can't even grow a beard.

It's not about masculinity, it's about coolness.
As a straight dude I've been sold my whole life that beards are cool.
Trust me, I'm not a bastion of manliness, I have a trademark vulnerability to me. Comes with being raised around women.
Replying so I can see what we are working with here.
Edit: I similarly don't grow a long of hair in spots on the side. I think you are good for a goatee though. Go see a good Barber, ask them for suggestions and have them shape it.

I had a patchy beard when I was a teen, then in my early 20's it filled out pretty well and looks good these days. All it cost me was the hair on my head, careful what you wish for OP. And if you are balding and can't grow a beard then I'm sorry, that's a brutal burden for any man to bear.
Hmm masculinity is just the male-specific version of cool.
I have advice I got from a commercial (so you know it's legit): Love The Skin You're In
Don't lose hope. I couldn't grow a real beard until I hit 30. Also, people, if you can't grow one just shave it; that patchy mess is not doing you any favors.
I thought my facial hair was shit till I let it grow, some bald patches are even gone by now, still have some spot without hair but it's not as noticable as before. There's a moment when I look like shit tho but I just have to wait it out till more hair starts coming out of places I thought it couldn't.
Oh I see potential here.

I wasn't able to grow a beard until I was like 20 and thank fucking god I did. I looked like a little kid without it lol

I feel like every guy owes it to themself to watch Queer Eye to see how far a good haircut and facial trim can take their look. Sometimes it is better to shave than keep a struggle beard.
This is what people who lack the ability to grow a nice beard respond with.
