My goatee might not be majestic or massive, but it compliments my face well, and all sideburns do is make me look like a teen trying too hard

I'll take what I've got, at least I'm not rocking just a soul patch, right?

minoxidil fixes this for most people. just saying.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Minox allowed me to enter the awkward phase.

One day I'll grow through it.

Don't fret beardless man. Its evolution. Who needs a crumb catcher?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow look at this fat cat over here who can afford to lose crumbs

Oh it catches spit. It also catches feces when you flush the toilet as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly the toilet flushing thing is stupid. You're catching the shit particles regardless just by shitting.

If you can smell shit the particles are already in your lungs. Along with the myriad of other "gross" particles that just naturally exist in the air like pathogens, mold, skin cells, etc.

If you're that worried about it I expect to see you wearing a hazmat suit 24/7

You jest, but I have whipped out the NBC gas mask because of a rank fart before.

Legit considering getting my beard lasered off because I have such awful genes for beard hair.

The moustache is fine though, I get to roleplay as flanders to make my GF laugh because she's the more outgoing one :3

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

My beard genes are primarily neck beard and pencil mustache. Hasn't stopped me from growing out in the past.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I kept my face shaved until my 40s because my facial hair always seemed sparse and thin.

But then a few years ago I just let it go for a while, and now I have this big thick beard that is never going anywhere. Wavy hair plus length suddenly looks full!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmm. I'm 39... does something magical happen on your birthday. Patchy thin beard since forever, thinning top of head, but a thick chest, leg and bottom carpet :S

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m not sure there’s a good way to know without trying. I never even tried a short beard because it never looked right until I got past the “long enough to look good” threshold.

But that doesn’t mean never trimming a single hair, or anything extreme like that. I don’t like mine to grow out to the sides, so I’ve kept the sides trimmed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Once mine gets to a 5mm it's very thin and embarrassing. Believe I'd love to give up shaving, and save some money too ;)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I see myself in this picture and I don't like it :-(

I guess Depressing Comic Week is becoming A Thing™.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Or in this case, eugenics comics week.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I don't like it 😢

I can grow a decent amount of facial hair. Unforturnately, it's just curly enough to look scraggly, but not curly enough to pack in nicely on itself. But it's red hair in contrast to my normal dark brown hair, and I don't want to waste it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

You might be running out of ink, drink more blood of the witch

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago

Hopefully it's not Curly enough to have a tart for a wife and violent tendencies

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, an ironbeard.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can't grow facial hair for shit. I grow out a moustache after Thanksgiving so i can have a Christmas moustache, but after a month of growth i only get a caterpillar moustache. I also grow a playoff beard whenever the Blues make playoffs, since shaving that nasty fucker is a perfect silver lining when they get bounced. Other than that, i am clean shaven every other day of the year. I already have a baby face, and. trying to grow facial hair makes me look10 years younger in a bad way

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have the opposite problem. I've had a beard the vast majority of my adult life (32M). Whenever I shave my wife will constantly pester me to grow it back since I look like 6 years younger. Add to that I start to actually notice how age has affected my face and end up growing it back very quickly lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have to grow mine out because I have permanent 5 o'clock shadow and it hurts my wife's face.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Oh yeah I get that as well. I've just been told the beard strengthens my jaw some which works very well. I have red/auburn hair and so is my beard which i think definitely helps it look better for me with the beard lol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I keep flipflopping between shaving and letting it grow. I think I look better with a goatee; but I was getting sick of having my face hair going into my mouth when eating.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Just trim your mustache to match the top line of your upper lip. No more food concerns, and kissing is better too. I can't stand having my mustache cover my lips, even though it looks pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I've kept a beard for years, but I've always trimmed and maintained it short enough that this isn't a problem, with the bonus that it also doesn't look scraggly. It's a happy medium.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If I let my beard get long enough, the neckbeard cowlicks collide and make random waves and spikes stick out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Ugh, I have a spot on my chin that the hair grows in a spiral, so I always have a cowlick.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

Do you happen to own a spaceship named the Bebop?

[–] [email protected] 136 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

I disagree. Both matter.
