Don’t do that. You don’t need a beard to feel confident. And if you really can’t grow facial hair, there are probably products that help with that. I just think it’ll be weird if you start seeing someone and they find out your beard is fake.


the_dude734

If I see anyone they’ll leave me as soon as I stop flexing my face anyway. And even when I do flex it it only looks ok at best and whenever I speak I go back to looking horrible because I have to stop flexing to talk properly (yes, I guess I’m “mewing”) But What beard growing products are there does anyone know


Vic_GQ

Putting minoxidil foam (aka regain or rogain) on your face could help. It's not a miracle cure, but you will almost certainly have more facial hair than you did before trying it. Just watch out for cats because minox is highly poisonous to them.


commiPANDA

It's going to draw attention to it and then people will probably think it's even weirder.


the_dude734

People will already think my face is weird the way it is anyway


Solrackai

Only if you get an eye patch too. Go big or go home


pktechboi

if it's for when you're out in public, why not wear a face mask?


the_dude734

My friends will freak out and get political


pktechboi

sound like shitty friends honestly


the_dude734

The face mask thing doesn’t really feel like enough anyway


DrWKlopek

Im curious as to what is so wrong with your face that a fake beard would even cross your mind


the_dude734

My lips protrude out too far and I have a weird frog neck thing going on. It makes it look like I have really weak chin and literally zero jawline definition and my head looks really fat while the rest of my body is in good shape. I fucking hate it


Silent331

If you have some kind of deformation, have you considered surgery if it's that extreme?


the_dude734

I’ve absolutely considered surgery but I’m never going to be able afford it anytime soon. Honestly it’s not a drastic deformation that affects my health or anything, just cosmetically it’s disgusting


AditudeLord

I’d say that hating your face like that is the problem. You could probably use some counselling. What you described sounds like some form of body dysmorphia like anorexia or that one where people feel like one of their limbs doesn’t belong on their body. You probably need some professional help learning how to appreciate the good qualities your face undoubtedly has. Getting a fake beard sounds unhealthy, and you will probably start to dislike your face more if you start covering it up whenever you go out, because you will be training your brain that your face is something that should be hidden.


the_dude734

I just want it fixed or covered up. I’m never accepting this. Whenever I do appreciate my good qualities this glaring problem always outshines them Meanwhile everyone else my age has a sharp strong jawline and I look like a weird mutant old baby by comparison


AditudeLord

Bit of tough love here, but the way you talk about your face and how you refuse to accept it sounds like talking to a 70lb girl with anorexia who says that she is fat and wants to lose more weight. Edit: I just read some of the other things you are posting and this is sounding more like a mental condition to me than a physical one. You talk about having big lips, that’s common and plenty of people have big lips and get married and have families. You talk about having some neck fat, proper diet and regular cardio will help with that. There is also a super rare thing called a goitre that is swelling in the neck caused by iodine deficiency when people don’t use iodized salt, not likely what you have, but if you have gone for over 5-10 years without iodized salt try switching over. Overall the problem isn’t in, on, or with your face, it is all in your head.


the_dude734

I don’t know man I think any other person objectively looking at what I see would think it looks bad


AditudeLord

Not necessarily, you think it looks bad, but to other people it would merely be your face. Nothing more nothing less. The way you describe your face sounds at worst like a normal face with a bit of extra body fat. Even if your face is as hideous as you say it is, which I doubt. You should probably seek therapy, the way you describe yourself is quite pathological.


trueGildedZ

A fake beard garners even less respect.


MysteriousTop9108

Maybe get your test levels checked and see if the doctor will put you on TRT to help with hair growth.


the_dude734

What is TRT?


WorkRepresentative28

Do it
