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

I'm not gonna lie... I was tempted to replace Obi-Wan with Riker

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's also true. Also, Leonidas from 300 was the reason I grew it out, but it's all curly and hoboish.

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I got Rikers beard and Picards hair line.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly that's kinda hot

[–] DBT@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] fascicle@leminal.space 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The trick is to cut just enough so it looks like pubes

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 8 points 3 weeks ago

If I wanted a ballsack on my face I'd go to grindr.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 1 points 3 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...

[–] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I got the best of both worlds. Incredibly thick hair, but just sparse, with cheeks largely uncovered and full beard at neck. I use real razor blades, because they're the onyl thing that cuts without nicking me, but they still tug like shit because they're so thick.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

wow. so it's long enough to pass for a beard

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The hard part is stapling your scrotum to your chin.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Let's trade. I resigned myself to my beard (shaving irritates my skin so much that I stopped bothering), but I never really 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.

Keep the wang, tho.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 12 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

On the flip side, now it's easier to be a twink :3

(either way is valid!)

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

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

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Sorry but using Pedro Pascal as the "bad facial hair" example?? Are you nuts???

[–] FoxyGrandpa@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

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

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Well here's hoping generic is available here in Canada on something not Amazon. I live on an Island so things are a bit of a bitch getting delivered. Thank you though <3

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So it took the time for you to actually grow hair before seeing it?

[–] omgboom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It works by increasing blood flow to the area that you apply the medicine to. As the blood flow increases it slowly starts to stimulate hair growth in previously dormant hair follicles, but it's a slow process. At about 3 months I started to notice new small fine new hairs coming in. At 6 months those small hairs had grown into longer, larger hairs, and at the same time new small fine hairs were forming underneath them. At a year, most of the patches that had no hair in them before now have a pretty decent amount of hair and you can't really tell they used to be completely bare. It's a long process

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

the stuff that prevents hair loss? seriously?

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 3 points 3 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.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] candyman337@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

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….

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago

With a hairy ass?

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I knew we needed to look at hair.

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

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 3 points 3 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.

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.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

That is the sexiest thing I've ever heard

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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.

When I initially grew it, I was a supervisor at a supermarket. After the beard, it was shocking how often people would accept my verdict on returns and such compared to before.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 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.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Men with any amount of facial hair is sexy.

I like men. I like hair.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 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 are 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

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't have a connector in the middle.

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

Soft boi lyf. 🫡
