  I don’t know what real means anymore

    In this case real means not emotionally stunted.

  Plus of course if you don’t put on stupid amounts of muscle you retain the ability to scratch your own nose. Seriously some of the guys at the gym, watching them try their names is a site to behold. The ideal body shape is not the Hulk

  Same with beards. You’ll get a lot of attention with a nice beard, but not many girls perse

    I will say as a trans chick who used to have a denial beard, women did love it, but that’s because I conditioned it. I got so many comments about how they wished more beards were that soft.

    Mind you, I also followed rules 1 and 2

        Rule 1: be attractive Rule 2: don’t be unattractive

      That was also my experience, I grew my beard a couple of time, just to see how long it goes and also laziness. I never cared with specific beard products or trimming it and stuff. I washed it with the same head&shoulders I use for my hair. In my country is normal to great with a kiss in the cheeks so it was a somewhat common occurrence that a woman would feel and comment how soft it was. But that was it, their are impressed by the softness not the looks of how long it was, this was only guys, guys were impressed by the size of the bears and all. That is not to say that woman necessarily prefer shaved face, in my experience mostly (in my country that is) prefer a trimmed beard. I guess it is more mature or mainly. My now wife certainly preferred me to just trim down the beard instead of shaving it.

        That’s fair. And the fact that I was following rules 1&2 probably explains the rest, because wow you would not believe how blatantly people can hit on you without you noticing when you hate your appearance

    Beards are for for your wife, not for meeting girls.

    Married men know what I’m talking about.

  Can confirm. I’ve gotten exactly one comment from a woman about my physique a couple years ago. I get comments from dudes fairly often. I do still think about what the woman said to me like all the time though.

    Wow! Way to just trivialize the appreciation from the homies!

    But yeah, they probably know and understand what you went through for your build much more than others. Or are simply less intimidated.
