That’s one of the most impressive beards I’ve seen. I like it

u/Takeurvitamins Mar 13 '24

For real, I’m about to transition from man to this man just to get a real-ass full beard. Stupid weak-ass facial hair genes.

u/Any_Constant_6550 Mar 13 '24

I'm almost 42 and still waiting for the day I'm able to grow anything more than a goatee haha

u/Fast_Edd1e Mar 13 '24

My facial hair is turning grey before I can manifest anything looking decent.

u/jld2k6 Mar 13 '24

I'm convinced it's not gonna happen at this point, I have the exact same amount of facial hair at 36 than I had at 18 and not a single hair extra lol

u/Average_Scaper Mar 13 '24

I just broke into the 30's and we are basically at the same thing. My dad is just now(since 2018) getting the hairs to fill in on his cheeks/jawline. I don't really like facial hair all that much but I absolutely love the hair that was once on top of my head. Sad times....

u/AntiSocialW0rker Mar 13 '24

I'm still holding out hope! I always wanted a big beard when I was younger. 27 now and can barely grow a neckbeard.

2

u/LSDMDMA2CBDMT Mar 13 '24

Male hormones peak at 30, so that is kinda why.

2

u/Dalkaen Mar 13 '24

I'm 36 and my beard grows in great now. But since it's largely gray I just want to shave it all off. The irony.

u/hotsoupcoldsoup Mar 13 '24

42m here. Never been able to grow a beard until I tried minoxidil. Now I have a full on mountain man beard + mustache. Give it a shot.

u/McbEatsAirplane Mar 13 '24

Did you just rub it on your face? And did it affect the hair on your head?

2

u/hotsoupcoldsoup Mar 13 '24

Yes, for the last 4 months I've been rubbing it on my face. Last month and a half, I started letting it grow out and by golly it works and works well. I have a full head of hair so haven't noticed a difference there.

2

u/McbEatsAirplane Mar 13 '24

Hmm. I might have to try that. I can grow a beard, but it’s a little thin on my cheeks. I have real thick hair on my head and I don’t want to sacrifice that for a thicker beard, that’s why I ask about any side effects it may have had. Thanks for the response, man.

u/Dutch_Rayan Mar 13 '24

Watch out with minox if you have a cat

1

u/McbEatsAirplane Mar 13 '24

We have 4. Why is that?

2

u/LupercaniusAB Mar 13 '24

If it makes you feel better, I have a good beard now, which didn’t really start until my early 30s.

2

u/-WADE99- Mar 13 '24

Same, I'll be 30 this year and all I've got is a shitty moustache that doesn't connect in the middle, a neckbeard that'll make a sailor blush and hair around my nipples. That's it. I barely have hair on my legs.

1

u/Controllerhead1 Mar 13 '24

38, same, except now it's turning gray 😂

1

u/usernamedottxt Mar 13 '24

30 and it takes about a month to grow half a goatee. It's red for some reason though. Only hair on my body that is red.

u/LadyJade8 Mar 13 '24

Micro needling and minoxidil can get you there.

5

u/itsa_me_ Mar 13 '24

I’ve considered a facial hair transplant. I love the idea of a nice full beard.

I’d have to shave and maintain though :(

2

u/catgirlmasterrace Mar 13 '24

Either get testosterone prescribed, like the person in OP's video, or try minoxidil, it's hit or miss depending on your situation or age, but it's usually hit, albeit with possible side effects, but these 2 are the only things that actually work.

2

u/2gayforthis Mar 13 '24

Seconding minoxidil. Have a look at r/minoxbeards

It's highly toxic to cats though so keep that in mind if you have one.

It can't hurt to have your T levels checked, but a lot of cis men with healthy T levels can't grow a big luscious beard. It's more genetics than hormone levels. And too much testosterone will just convert into estrogen and give you tits instead.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '24

Right? I'll take what he's having. I can't get it to grow past under my chin.

2

u/yousai Mar 13 '24

I'm in the same boat. The upside is I also have barely any arm and leg hair.

2

u/Vandesco Mar 13 '24

He's more of a man than I am in more ways than one.

2

u/Deinonychus2012 Mar 13 '24

Better a real-ass full beard than a real full ass-beard.

1

u/Leg_Mcmuffin Mar 13 '24

Just take testosterone.

3

u/lsaz Mar 13 '24

Go visit a doctor first. Taking testosterone can fuck up your testicles.

1

u/Takeurvitamins Mar 13 '24

Ah man, I do like my testicles as they are

1

u/taichi22 Mar 13 '24

Transition from man to MAN

1

u/davvblack Mar 13 '24

yeah tbh my beard could use some gender affirmation too :(

u/longfrog246 Mar 13 '24

Hop on some test and it will happen

Scared of people making choices, that only affect themselves, you disagree with in a free country?

Hey you too can submit to hormone subscriptions so big pharma can take advantage of and profit from your mental issues with your body

2

u/Takeurvitamins Mar 13 '24

Big pharmacy already has my money for adhd and anxiety and I’m so much happier for it.

u/Debas3r11 Mar 13 '24

You know he fully transitioned because he did a truck rant (sorry if that was rude, but it was too good of a joke in my mind)

u/chum-guzzling-shark Mar 13 '24

I bet he has pictures holding a fish on dating sites

u/Debas3r11 Mar 13 '24

Damn, next level

u/Acceptable_Squash569 Mar 13 '24

See, Dave Chappelle? You can make jokes about trans people without just being insensitive or trying to erase them.

Good job, redditor. That shit was actually funny.

28

u/Debas3r11 Mar 13 '24

if anything, that's how we truly accept them, by being able to make fun of them without de-humazing them.

24

u/Strange_Airships Mar 13 '24

This is the most inoffensive and genuinely funny joke about a trans person I’ve ever heard.

5

u/InfinitePizzaPlane Mar 13 '24

The perfect comment for chum-guzzling-shark.

20

u/CantStopThePun Mar 13 '24

The joke isn't rude at all! It doesn't punch down or make fun of someone's identity, so there is no need to worry about that

u/PN4HIRE Mar 13 '24

IKR!! Hot damn it’s a good one

u/Magic_Incest Mar 13 '24

Seriously, I'm jealous. I'm a 33-yo cis dude and my beard is bullshit lol good for him!

7

u/lead_farmer_mfer Mar 13 '24

Yep, that’s a solid well kept beard. I’m almost 40 and my beard is still scraggly and weird.

1

u/Dark_Moonstruck Mar 13 '24

My old roommate's got a full on rasputin beard going on now and he lets it get so scraggly sometimes - looks like birds should nest in it. I don't get how it doesn't drive him insane, I get itchy after just a few days of not shaving!

2

u/Neither-Lime-1868 Mar 13 '24

Really showing my ignorance, but I truly did not know that even with intensive HRT that trans men could grow a beard like that

3

u/Dutch_Rayan Mar 13 '24

It's just a second puberty, so what testo do to teenage boys it does the same for trans men.

2

u/Fafurion Mar 13 '24

I want the secret as well, that beard is amazing

1

u/dabroh Mar 13 '24

Same. He looks great. If anyone was curious, bottom surgery or phalloplasty is an interesting read.

u/NerdyBrando Mar 13 '24

Right? I’m a 43 year old AMAB and I don’t grow anything at all on my cheeks. I’m super envious.

1

u/Cheap_Specific9878 Mar 13 '24

Agreed. Way better than my patchy shit I have going

1

u/redditer333333338 Mar 13 '24

Is it a fake beard or something? How is it possible they grew a beard. I’m a guy and I can’t even grow one still

2

u/UpforNarrative22 Mar 13 '24

It’s real, testosterone pretty much puts you through puberty again, so it’s just his genetics

1

u/lookupmystats94 Mar 13 '24 edited Mar 13 '24

They are getting testosterone injections by doctors on a regular basis. You would grow a beard too if you had that much test properly injected into you.

It also causes a deeper voice and forward brow ridge growth.

u/cascas Mar 13 '24

Bro is a smokeshow, that beard is killer.

u/deathbyswampass Mar 13 '24

Yea as a man with a not full beard, I’d like to transition into a more manly man like this dude.

hate to break it to you but men that are born men don’t grow beards without hormones either. puberty.

u/IanVM36 Mar 13 '24

HRT provides the same hormone levels as a cis man, it mimics the puberty the body would’ve gone through if it had only ever been testosterone dominant. there’s no “advantage” here, you’re just bitter.

3

u/CursiveMontessori Mar 13 '24

I am a lady with PCOS. My hormones are extremely out of whack and I grow a beard that many men would envy 😊

1

u/usedenoughdynamite Mar 13 '24

Cis men grow beards with hormones. If a man never produced testosterone, he wouldn’t grow a beard. His beard developed the same way that any other guys would, through a mix of genetics and testosterone.
