Guys, what's stopping you from growing out your hair and beard like in the pic?


There are various reason why a man don’t grow his facial hair like this:
1) NATURE: he may have scarce hair, with thin and sparse hairs so a think beard like this can’t be grown;
2) PREFERENCES: his personal preferences don’t match this kind of style;
3) ENVIRONMENT: like Muslims that generally grow long beards, there are other cultural (or work) context that discourage the growth of a beard;
4) LAZINESS: it requires time and patience to grow a beard and maintain it, sometimes one has no feel for that;
5) HEAT: a beard makes you feel more heat on your face. If there’s 35C-40C outside the last thing you want is to add more sweat on your face because of the hair.
I'm 23, which means I'm a part of the group of guys who don't have a fully connected beard yet. Instead I keep it at 3mm, which actually has drawn the attention of many girls around me. Also, my hair is so thin that if I try to grow it out I end up looking like a 5 year old girl. Those two combined would make me look like some kinda chupacabra freak job. So I keep the sides and back a little shorter and then finger length on top with the 3mm beard. It's really the only style that suits me.
It doesn't look good on every man.
If this guy in the pic even shaves it, he will still look good.
Really depends on how a guy looks like.
I prefer trimmed ones or even clean shaved.
I like facial hair on men more than the clean-shaven look. A short beard makes every man more attractive to me and a longer beard looks good on some guys.

I have too many "blank spots" (no hair) on my face for a full beard. During the 80's I did grow a goatee (it was Showtime and the Magic Johnson era), but it began going grey.
You cannot imagine the near torture of plucking single hairs out of your chin and upper lip! It was easier to shave it off.
I tried that for a while but with my kinda like afro hair and messy facial hair I'd look like a lion xD... plus it makes me look so much older... and people get a little angry at me when I'm not well groomed lol
lion style is a good name for it lol
Yeah but most people have a cooler name for it.. Caveman hahaha
Beards are itchy and feel dirty. It's like constantly feeling like I've gone days and days without washing and all my pores are clogged. Even if I really scrub my face it's only temporary relief from feeling dirty.
I do tend to grow a short beard in the winter. But it gets to the point that I can't stand it any more so off it goes. It's a lot colder when it goes, but it's worth it. (yes, a beard really does keep you a lot warmer in the winter, especially if it's breezy)
I don't grow a beard because I can't stand it. 5 days is the longest I have managed to go without shaving. It just feels dirty to me on my face and I have to shave it off. I don't know if I will ever be able to stand the feeling of having facial hair.
Mine would come out ginger and two tone is not really a good look lol
strangely that photo is a dead ringer for a mate of mine lol.
Although he spends a crazy amount of time on his beard.
I would not look good with that look... I might be a little vain...
have you tried it?
the beard or hair
I tried growing a beard once, several years ago. It was blotchy, scraggly and it turned a deep brownish red color, compared to the rest of my head that was blond. I don't think anyone would want to see me in a beard again.
Laws of physics and biology- my beard's already longer than that, and I can't grow it *in*. Nor can I grow it and make it shorter. I could probably do the hair, though.
My beard comes in all white and I look like Samta Claus
that looks cool too
Mine does too
@Sparkie460 yes, but you are old 😂😂😂😂
Yeah I know but you don't have to rub it in
@Sparkie460 I'm right behind you kicking a nd screaming all the way to the nursing home.
I'm skipping the nursing home and just falling into my grave
@Sparkie460 yes, the bad food and the sing alongs would be worse than death.
Hahaha
Nothing grows between my goatee and cheeks. Nothing grows between my cheeks and my ears. Nothing grows between my mustache and goatee.
Can't grow sideburns, chops, full beard, etc... Only a mustache and goatee that doesn't connect.
The short answer to what stops me... DNA.
genetics, actually a LOT of guys can't grow perfect beards until they are almost 40-50
It doesn't have to be perfect a few patches and thinning can still look good with proper trimming
patches? nah its not just patches like its full on they can't grow thick bushes of beard hair you can still see skin through all of it no matter how much they let it grow out.
Trust me beards are my favorite think to hold onto while skinning, its alarming how rare it actually is to see a full beard like that image on someone younger than 35
Would love to grow it out.
Just looks shit on me.
have you ever tried it?
Been there and done that before I look like a Swedish Viking
not anymore?
I have a long beard and I don't plan on cutting it short or shaving it off any time soon. Though once my hair started to thin and wound up with scars on it from a serious injury I just started buzzing it.
Who says anything it stopping me? That looks like my beard.
Nothing is stopping me. My beard is exactly like his. Only difference is that mine is reddish.
Guess I'm too young. My beard is slowly developing but I'm not entirely sure if it could fully developed like that because I've never met my biological father. I could just have shitty genetics.
I work in a profession that deals with a lot of seniors. A lot of seniors prefer to deal with men who are clean-cut. However, I have nothing against growing out my beard and mustache.
I just can't grow that kind of facial hair lol It's not in the cards for me.
i habe male patter baldness and never could grow a beard. i wouldn't anyway as they are gross. beards are statistically full of food amd fecal matter
It is Summer. I just shaved my goatee off so I can blow on my brow and keep cool if I need. Winter it might come back.
I can probably comb my hair like that but my beard just doesn't grow fully and rich so I rock a stubble and stache
Well it depends on many things. Someone look better with long beard the other one shaved. also the hair material matters... some are really hard to grow and look after.
I grow out my beard in the winter but it's too hot here in the summer for my face fro
I grow a beard in the winter for extra warmth. I can't stand having long hair anymore
Ability I just can´t grow a full beard so I cut it off.
I get too hot
grew my beard out for just over 6 months once and now I can't go for more than 10 days because of how annoying it gets.
It's uncomfortable, and I look better without. And I don't wanna date you, so I have no reason to look like that. A lot of girls don't like it
Absolutely nothing, I've had my hair and beard longer in the past
I tried it once made me look like a homeless person. I hate how my beard would be itchy and I grew out my hair once and it looked terrible.
It gets too hot and as my facial hair grows I feel compulsion to pluck at it and I definitely don't want to do that.
My beard is longer than that, hate long hair though
Me personally, I just don’t like all that facial hair on me. I don’t look good with it.
Need trimmed hair and can't have a beard in the military.
I have a beard I don't dress or look for other people I do it for me
Nothing's stopping me from growing out my hair but I just don't like how beards feel.
My step daughter doesn't like breads between her legs.
I hate dealing with it and when it rains it covers my eyes
Line of work and genetics.
I'm from a military family. I keep my haircut short, and facial hair cut, clean, and presentable
Lol i have schoulder lenghth hair and medium beard.
Do you like my hair and beard?
Like the beard but you should try growing your hair to medium length
I don't because it gets too itchy and uncomfortable.
I do then I get it cut
The heat, and I like short hair.
Nothing does but I don't want to. By choice.
I don't want to cut my hair this short.
Nothing. I have that look
Because when it gets too long it itches...
Nothing, i did! :)

Nothing. I've had a beard for the last 20 years.
I have long hair but I can't grow a beard.
Not cutting my hair and not shaving my beard.
Blonde hair = weak facial hair
Nothing stopping me. That's how I look.
Hell, I ain’t scared. Just look at me!
