How do you deal with becoming increasingly masculine in your 20’s?

[Anonymous]

I’m 24 almost 25. Growing up I was never really masculine physically. That was my identity, clean cut sleek man. No hair, skinny fit muscles. When I turned about 23 my body started to change. I have hair growing every where now. My facial hair is thick and dark, showing through the skin even after shaving. Growing back before the end of the work day. My muscles are big and bulky now and I don’t lift weights. My jaw even appears sharper. It doesn’t feel like me. What are your experiences with this in your late 20’s, how did you deal with the changes, and how do you feel about it now?

I uh... did something about that. Lol.

For serious, there are options you can look into if it really bothers you, even though most are unfortunately expensive and painful.

Like laser hair removal you can do for facial hair (or any hair). It's supposed to be permanent but that really comes down to individual. Like don't do it if you aren't sure you want it permanent, but if you do get it some hair may grow back anyway..

For muscles/face shape, look into your lifestyle and genetics. You may be stuck with it if your parents/family are the same way, but if there's some variety you could probably get closer to what you want by adjusting some parts of your routine.

I'd rather stay a youthful 20s even now into my 30s because a) no muscles b) still greatly holding up metabolism and c) I'm just grateful to still pass for 20s at age 30 and hopefully when I'm 40 I'll only look a youthful 29 ,😈👀😋
So sure man ♂️ you can do all the growing up masculinity you like, yet I'll be over here as humble and merry as those Big Bang Theory guys who still passed for vibrant for their ages even in the early to mid seasons 📺📺

I was always a big guy, and never really had to work out.
In my prime I was 6', weighed 210, 56 inch shoulders and a 34 inch waist.
I could lift a bus.
That is why I started out as a truckie on the fire department.
I was a 1 man wrecking ball.
Nothing got in my way.
So, I really never changed other than getting older, and a bit wiser.

Bro I was all of those things UNTIL I hit my 20s got fat as hell for a while but I’m back down to a normal weight and fit again, for me I have to try a little harder to maintain a nice physique now
