    This is me, except replace the second photo with Robin Williams in Jumanji after he comes out of the game.

      You could achieve the one in the left with some grooming then, yea?

        Nah, the hairs don’t cooperate. If I cut away all the curly strands that stick out, I have no beard.

      You can work with that. I got a shitty lower heavy beard that doesn’t connect my mustache correctly.

      On the sides of my lips it just won’t grow. You can hopefully trim yours down to get dapper.

        My moustache only grows on the sides of my lips lmao

      • Apeman42@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I feel you. I have to let the far sides of my mustache grow out longer than the rest so they bridge the gap to the beard.

    I have pretty much exactly McGregor’s beard in this pic. I never realized it could be the object of beardly ambitions, and I never seriously considered the distress of a man who isn’t able to have the beard he wants. Thanks for the new point of view…

      I’m in my mid forties, I have the beard growing ability of a 13 year old girl. I would fucking love to be able to grow a thick, bushy beard. But alas.

      Guess my massive wang makes up for it.

        If it helps, I can’t stop growing a thick bushy beard, but it gets itchy, and the individual hairs are so coarse it’s like steel wool. Rasps the skin off my lips if I’m a day late in trimming.

        And now in my early 40s it’s growing out my nose and ears too (and I can see the first signs of those crazy eyebrow beards old men get). Sometimes a loose nose hair gets up between by nose and my throat, and it’s like flossing your sinuses with a cheese wire.

        Let’s trade. I resigned myself to my beard (shaving irritates my skin so much that I stopped bothering), but I never actually wanted it. Though I’m not sure if I’ll like my face beardless after so many years … I got quite a bit older and fatter.

    I couldn’t grow a beard until my mid thirties. Don’t be discouraged if you’re younger and don’t have full growth yet.

      Yeah, my beard comes in thicker than Obi-Wan’s. Now I have the joy of lasering it all off, yay 🙃 lol

  • ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    My facial hair doesn’t connect at each side of my mouth, so I literally have a beard and moustache as opposed to just a “beard”. It sucks

  • FoxyGrandpa@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Actually you can use minoxidil on the face and get more beard hair, beards aren’t effected by amgrogenic alopecia so it stays when you stop applying minoxidil

      WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE

      Now I’ve just gotta find where I can fucking get it and how much it is.

      • omgboom@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Just buy generic on Amazon or whatever. It does take a good amount of time before you see results. I’ve been doing it for a year and have considerably more facial hair now than before, but it was 3-6 months before I saw any difference

      the stuff that prevents hair loss? seriously?

      source
    • CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Is there something that does the reverse? I’m not personally a fan of the look and feel of facial hair (for myself that is), and I find it annoying having to shave all the time only for the hair to come right back before too long.

      source
    • ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I tried it for several months, but I saw no change.

      Minoxidil can cause heart palpitations so that’s not the best idea, that can get the oil in your eyes, mouth, and cuts

      THANK YOU! I’m slowly getting a widow’s peak and desperately want the full Riker beard before I lose my hairline. I’ll see if can get some of that stuff!

    • birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Wouldn’t finasteride also work? Or is that more for the hairline?

      source
      • ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Finasteride only really effects hair on the scalp, since beard hairs isn’t effected by the chemical that finasteride protects against.

    Sprry but using Pedro Pascal as the “bad facial hair” example?? Are you nuts???

    Everyone on my dad’s side has nice thick full heads of hair. My grandfather on my mom’s side was bald. Guess how I ended up….

      With a hairy ass?

    • Aggravationstation@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      My dad is bald at the back, my maternal grandfather was bald at the front. As a result I’m what’s called bald as fuck. Thick beard though.

      Yeah, I knew we needed to look at hair.

      Mother’s-father is always the indicator. (Morfar?)

      I don’t know the genetics of beards, but that’s how the genetics of the penis goes. Your mom’s side of the family determines the shape and length because the X chromosome encodes it, and the Y only activates it. Nature has a sense of humor, doesn’t it.

      source
  • BigPotato@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Beards? My hair starts at the top of my head and ends at my toe knuckles. My beard hair goes up to my cheek bones, down to the underside of my jaw and entirely down my neck to connect to my chest hair. I have to regularly shave my neck, shape and trim my beard.

    I mean, I like my facial hair just fine, I just wish I didn’t have random solid white patches where my body decided to quit due to stress on me.

    I’d really rather shoot myself than deal with grooming my face in general but I’d rather limit the parts I have to shave if I must.

      That is the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard

  • chunes@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    My beard is even fuller than the one on the left. No bald patches around the soul patch and no thinning on the cheeks or sideburns. You better believe I’ve rocked that shit every day since I was 20. It’s one of the few things I don’t take for granted.

    source
    • wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think I grew mine out before 20, but it’s stayed on because it absolutely made me look older.

      I tried clean shaven a few times since and I end up looking like I’m 16 again. No thanks.

    Men with any amount of facial hair is sexy.

    I like men. I like hair.

    I don’t have a connector in the middle.

    It just gets whispy and scraggly. It does not grow in.

  • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Huh.

    Well of course I know that beard on the left!

    It’s on me!

    Same length and growth pattern, was actually going to trim it a bit this weekend, but uh, despite my head hair being basically the same as Ewan’s (color, waviness), my main jaw line and sideburns and jet black like Pedro, as are my eyebrows… but my moustache is about the same color as Ewan’s.

    … So clearly what that means is I as attractive as both of them combined =p hahaha! /s

  • Paddzr@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I have been rocking Obi-wan beard for the past 20 years, my wife probably wouldn’t recognise me without it. Mine is just darker brown.

    Yes, it’s great. I just got to occasionally trim it but I can go for months without touching it and it just… Works. Till the moustache gets too much in my mouth.
