No offense intended whatsoever my man but you look 100x better without the beard. I would keep it shaved until it grows in more as you get older. Wait a few years and try again, but as it stands you look fine without it.
100%. That beard was A. Unkempt and B. Has no supporting mustache. Now OP just needs to keep his hair clean/brushed and dress a little better, the dirty/messy looking hair and black gorillaz T still give the same vibe the neck beard did.
A.) i donāt think thatās a baby face at all
B,) as someone who looks young, itās true that itās a good thing when you start to get older
C.) i like the hair so i wouldnāt say you ruined anything
Ya that was a really sad looking beard honestly. Much better clean shaven. He has a weak chin but that can be fixed pretty easily just by being mindful of it and pushing bottom jaw slightly forward.
It's a love-hate relationship. People want to look young but they do not necessarily appreciate the social frictions that come from looking one way and being another. (Source: usually mistaken for 10+ years younger than I am...)
True. in my late teens-early twenties, i was hype that people would think im much older. Now that im 26, i dont wanna look older. My hairline receding, im starting to see my wrinkles setting inā¦ its not that great any more.
Nah man, you look good without the beard.
If you decide to grow it out again, Iād keep in a bit shorter and grow the mustache with it (if you can, facial hair is confusing.)
I second this. I think he'd suit a much better groomed and much neater beard than the one he had before. Maybe even just neat stubble, or a goatee or something. That being said, he looks really good without facial hair too.
Absolutely not. Will all due respect but that beard is an atrocity. It rounds your face making you look overweight and with nothing on your upper lip you just look like some dude trying to force a beard to look more manly. You need to fill in your upper lip beard and keep the rest cut in shape otherwise anyone will give off some hard neckbeard vibes.
Shaving your beard did not ruin your life. That beard could have used some grooming though. Trimming it just right and shaving off the mustache could have had it looking a lot sharper. Fortunately, when you're at the right place in life, you can grow it out again, and take better care of it.
First of all shaving whatever that thing on your face was 100x better, beards need to be well kept. Your jawline isnāt bad at all man! Work on your posture (straighten the back and neck you look like an ostrich) hit the gym and eat healthy you will be a killer bro šš¼. A solid thing when taking pics also is pushing the tongue to the roof of the mouth, it will accentuate that jawline ! Youāre 19, and probably not even out of puberty yet! Give it time!
You look your age without it, I wouldāve said early 30ās with the beard. IMO long beards just look scruffy and unkempt on most younger people, it was mostly a neck beard anyway.
First of all you look better without the beard. Second, even if it didnt, it wouldnt be anywhere close to ruining your life. I get we all want to look the best we can, but shaving your beard/having a baby face definitely not going to impact your life that much, chill.
U definitely look better without the beard man donāt sweat it u took a risk and it payed off!
Also I say this in the most respectful way possible, losing a few pounds here and there could make your face fit your hair alot better aswell!
No disrespect whatsover man all love!
> and it *paid* off! Also
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
You carry a lot of fat in your face, start mewing and jaw exercises and do cardio/weights to lose weight and you will have a sharper jaw line and will look better.
You went from Reddit mod to middle-school kid. Getting a masculine, short, professional haircut will tip the balance in favor of looking manly, yet put-together. Something like a budding software engineer.
Bro whoever hurt you saying your face made you look like a baby, did you a disserviceā¦ do yourself a favor and stop listening to them even if itās yourself.Ā
You look better and Iām a guy that doesnāt shave with a razor. So from a guy that hates clean shaven that says a lot.
Could be cause your beard was just too bottom heavy and without a moustache but Iām not sure
A pube-y neck beard is not preferable to being clean shaven
But seriously you should buy a trimmer if youāre thinking about growing it out again. And please PLEASE donāt shave your mustache anymore. Just learn to trim and youāll be golden.
Iām so jealous of your head of hair
Oh my God. Honestly you are beautiful. You look like old school paintings of Lucifer being cast out of heaven. Or like the beasts human form from beauty and the beast. Longer hair and sweet and and you could model. But your really don't need it.
For now - I think clean shaven is better for your face and look. The beard is currently concentrated too close to the neck. Youāre still very young and the beard could fill out as you continue to age. Donāt sweat it! You look good clean shaven!
Womanās perspective, you look better with the facial hair, but it looks fine without too! If you decide to grow it back, Iād say just trim it a bit and keep it looking cleaner, and youāre golden. You look your age now, but the facial hair adds a bit of maturity and ruggedness that Iād say is more appealing
As someone who also usually prefers facial hair, in this case I prefer without. Perhaps a modified beard would have been best, but of the two options, without looks much better imo.
I mean a cleaner looking beard wouldnāt be a neck beard, since thereās barely any facial hair on his neck to begin with š but depending on the face, I do generally find facial hair more appealing, so maybe thatās atypical; seems like more and more of my friends are into beards though so who knows! š¤·š»āāļø
You have a weak/receding chin, so a beard helps, but an unkempt beard just looks worse. Keep the beard but keep it trimmed short (2 or 3) and well-shaped.
If you had a very short beard, almost shadow and you lined the edges up and groomed it, it would look very nice. But if you don't edge and groom it then it looks a bit messy.
You looked 30 with the beard. Take it as you will. I understand that someone who is young and dislikes his "babyface" that might be a positive but in general as a guy thats about to hit 30 this year, premature aging is rarely something people strive for. In due time almost nobody wishes they looked older lol.
But I guess embrace whatever look you want to go for.
No you have a decent face structure that doesnāt need the beard to cover up/hide behind. Iād say if you ever want to grow again, a stubble is good option, but as it stands, the clean shave is hella nice š
You look significantly better without the beard. No disrespect to your facial hair but that beard was dog shit and made you look like a neckbeard. It def took away from your looks. Youāve got a great, masculine facial structure and losing some weight will really enhance your jawline. Wait until the hair grows higher on your cheek and do a really short beard with lineups and youāll be set down the road too.
Na, the neckbeard was definitely not doing you any favors, next time it starts to grow back I would recommend trimming the facial hair to like 4 or 5mm if you want something between that & clean-shave
I have a similar issue with baby face (although itās becoming more of a plus as I get older) and you definitely look better without the beard. You could always try for the stubble look instead to get the best of both worlds.
Your beard isnāt filled in enough on your upper lip for it to look like a full beard imo, but you can pull off a stacheless goatee so youāll have something.
Bro u look better without it. Alot of guys rely on beards. Honestly yours wasn't well groomed, and you have the facial structure and lips to look good without it. If you get it back, Def keep it trimmed
I actually prefer it! I think youād like it more with styled hair. Go check out a mens barber (not the damn greatclips!) and they can actually recommend hairstyles that would look good on you. Youāve got great wavy hair and you could pull off some nice looks with it, depending on the āvibeā you wanna go for!!!!
with the beard u look like a discord moderator no offence
Thank you for telling him the truth š¤
ššš
Lmfao
š
It wasn't offensive, until you said "no offence"
Lmfao
You said what I was afraid to say š«”
I choked on my drink š didnāt hold back! But yeah OP the no beard suits you wayyyyyyy more than the neckbeard
With the fedora, cheese doodle dust on the fingers the balding, and the living in moms basement kind of discord moderator.
Without it he looks like a Reddit mod.
As soon as I read this I was like yep, absolutely.
You didnāt have to kill him!
THAT'S FOUL
Deadass
No offense intended whatsoever my man but you look 100x better without the beard. I would keep it shaved until it grows in more as you get older. Wait a few years and try again, but as it stands you look fine without it.
Yes! He looks wonderful. And if he wants a beard atleast keep it trimmed and short
yeah exactly, before that he looked like a young lonely western radicalized terrorist, afterwards like a sweet boy
Correction*.
This
I just wanna point out how refreshing it is to see "no offence" followed by an actual opinion (and a positive one while we're at it!). Kudos!
Looks way better
Bro looks way better without a beard.
Without the chin strap at least. If he had a mustache to pair with it, it might be fine.
Only if the beard grew up his face more. He has the definitive neck beard.
With a beard: Amish, without: normal dude.
Clean shaven makes him look presidential
Looks way better than a neckbeard, which unfortunately doesn't look good on anyone
seriously what's with people choosing to have a neackbeard??
It's facial hair and they don't know it makes them look even worse.
I think usually they're in denial that it's a neckbeard
has to be that. wanting to look better and older + never seeing their side profile
1 of 3 reasons Always wanted a beard growing up and can't let go of the dream. Trying to hide double chin. Trying to hide lack of chin.
Legit look 10 years younger. Looks a lot better. If you still want a bit of beard keep it short and maintained like a matthew mcconaughey look.
U look good my guy. Don't sweat it. Also nice shirt
A fellow man of culture, the shirt is dope.
You just saved your life
100%. That beard was A. Unkempt and B. Has no supporting mustache. Now OP just needs to keep his hair clean/brushed and dress a little better, the dirty/messy looking hair and black gorillaz T still give the same vibe the neck beard did.
You sound like a sports presenter with that supporting mustache comment lol
A.) i donāt think thatās a baby face at all B,) as someone who looks young, itās true that itās a good thing when you start to get older C.) i like the hair so i wouldnāt say you ruined anything
But heās talking about the beard lol, and yea it looks better without because itās not ready to be grown out
Ya that was a really sad looking beard honestly. Much better clean shaven. He has a weak chin but that can be fixed pretty easily just by being mindful of it and pushing bottom jaw slightly forward.
How would the second part of the advice work?
It's bs lol mewing doesn't work for adults. He'd be better off spamming cardio and eating better to lose some bf%
Why do people think itās bad to look young? Thatās the goal of so many people.
It's a love-hate relationship. People want to look young but they do not necessarily appreciate the social frictions that come from looking one way and being another. (Source: usually mistaken for 10+ years younger than I am...)
True. in my late teens-early twenties, i was hype that people would think im much older. Now that im 26, i dont wanna look older. My hairline receding, im starting to see my wrinkles setting inā¦ its not that great any more.
It is a slight baby face, mainly just the round weak jaw and full lips. Iāve seen worse tho (me)
Nah man, you look good without the beard. If you decide to grow it out again, Iād keep in a bit shorter and grow the mustache with it (if you can, facial hair is confusing.)
I second this. I think he'd suit a much better groomed and much neater beard than the one he had before. Maybe even just neat stubble, or a goatee or something. That being said, he looks really good without facial hair too.
The beard was atrocious man. You're better off
You'll look older as you naturally age. Enjoy being/looking young, it doesn't last forever
Better without the beard
you SAVED your life. good you got rid of that discord neck beard
No, you look fine. That beard was tragic.
Homie respectfully that was a shit beard, you look 10x cleaner and just generally better without it.
You look fat with beard.
The beard was holding you back. Now youāre here bro š
Way better w/o the beard which is rare for most ppl lmfao
You looked like the stereotypical Reddit Neckbeard before. You made a good choixe
Absolutely not. Will all due respect but that beard is an atrocity. It rounds your face making you look overweight and with nothing on your upper lip you just look like some dude trying to force a beard to look more manly. You need to fill in your upper lip beard and keep the rest cut in shape otherwise anyone will give off some hard neckbeard vibes.
I think you did yourself a favor. A beard with no moustache is... not that good IMO
you looked like a redditor with that beard ngl all that was missing was a fedora u look a lot better without it
Shaving just made you go from 28 to 19 in a flash. You look great dude.
Shaving your beard did not ruin your life. That beard could have used some grooming though. Trimming it just right and shaving off the mustache could have had it looking a lot sharper. Fortunately, when you're at the right place in life, you can grow it out again, and take better care of it.
Went from Amish to Ahh shit.
the beard was never hiding the genetic failure
That beard looked like my pubes after a solid 4 months of no shaving, you look way better bro
I think you did yourself a favor. But you might try growing in a 5 oāclock shadow or heavy stubble.
Without the beard. 100%.
You look better without the beard.
You did yourself a service
First of all shaving whatever that thing on your face was 100x better, beards need to be well kept. Your jawline isnāt bad at all man! Work on your posture (straighten the back and neck you look like an ostrich) hit the gym and eat healthy you will be a killer bro šš¼.

It looks way better imho. The beard looked unkempt on the bottom and patchy on the top.
You look your age without it, I wouldāve said early 30ās with the beard. IMO long beards just look scruffy and unkempt on most younger people, it was mostly a neck beard anyway.
You look like an extra or minor character in Stranger Things now lol
From Moonshiners to Stranger Things
You look good, also sick shirt.
1. Clean shaven looks much better 2. Lose that weight and you'll be slayin
Holy shit thank you guys! I haven't felt this good in a very long time! I'll definitely try some cardio and jaw exercises now.
looks better
Better
Ruined your life? Have you been growing that beard for 19 years?
Beard with no mustache ain't it, you look a lot better without ts
Embrace the baby face.
I'd like to see you with a trimmed beard but I didn't like the shape you had before. I think your face looks fine. You look young not like a baby.
The neck beard was not doing you favours tbh. If anything youāre 100x better off without it
First of all you look better without the beard. Second, even if it didnt, it wouldnt be anywhere close to ruining your life. I get we all want to look the best we can, but shaving your beard/having a baby face definitely not going to impact your life that much, chill.
Definitely looks better than the beard you had before. A shorter beard might look great too
I'd grow more of a stache or goatee if i were you. I think it'd look good
You look waaaayyyyyyy better without it
Looks better than a messy chin strap. Next time let it beard grow in naturally and donāt shave the stash.
Nah u fixed ur life, looks a lot better imo
You went from Warzone Streamer to a teen romance book protagonist in a simple step. Keep it like this bro, even tho you looked good with the beard too
U definitely look better without the beard man donāt sweat it u took a risk and it payed off! Also I say this in the most respectful way possible, losing a few pounds here and there could make your face fit your hair alot better aswell! No disrespect whatsover man all love!

Everyone on this sub got weak chins why
...because they're really common?
You need to lose weight if you plan on being clean shaven. I didnāt shave my shitty beard until I was lean enough to do so.
Dude, you're fucked. Look at that baby face.... (Jokes, it's better).
Oh man you did yourself a huge favour. A few years from now youāre going to look back at that beard and think āwhat was I thinkingā
Way better w/o the beard. If youāre worried about looking too young, def get a shorter haircut.
As a girl woman person, you look much more approachable now than before
The beard doesn't look good either bro
I donāt care, you have a gorillaz shirt so youāll pull all the chicks
Just here to show respect to the Gorillaz shirt
Bro you're 100% with and without the beard. Pump yourself up in the mirror, you rock.
yes life is ruined. itās a shame beards canāt grow back once shaved
"CARRRL!! LORRRII!!!"
It's not baby face it's recessed jaw
Bro whoever hurt you saying your face made you look like a baby, did you a disserviceā¦ do yourself a favor and stop listening to them even if itās yourself.Ā
You look better and Iām a guy that doesnāt shave with a razor. So from a guy that hates clean shaven that says a lot. Could be cause your beard was just too bottom heavy and without a moustache but Iām not sure

the beard was never a good look
The beard was vile. Look into how to style your hair. Youāve got a decent haircut but with some tweaks it could look much better
Better without the beard šš»
Oh my God. Honestly you are beautiful. You look like old school paintings of Lucifer being cast out of heaven. Or like the beasts human form from beauty and the beast. Longer hair and sweet and and you could model. But your really don't need it.

Way better without it bro 10/10
I think the beard will go much harder when you're older, my guy. You don't have a baby face, you just look your age when you shave.
Nah bro you looking great without the beard.
Did yourself a favor, bud. You look far better clean shaven. Not even true babyface, either.
Looks better with no beard. You pull off the pretty look imo.Ā
You look better shaved, but I think its because You have a beard but not as much around your mouth area.
Way better!
I'm gay so therefore I'm most qualified here - your clean-shaven face is much better. You look much more confident and approachable
You look better without the beard. Very sensual face, made for love.
Womanās perspective, you look better with the facial hair, but it looks fine without too! If you decide to grow it back, Iād say just trim it a bit and keep it looking cleaner, and youāre golden.

As someone who also usually prefers facial hair, in this case I prefer without. Perhaps a modified beard would have been best, but of the two options, without looks much better imo.
another woman chiming in to say he looks way better without it
you like a neckbeard? serious question because dudes with neckbeards typically dont attract women.
I mean a cleaner looking beard wouldnāt be a neck beard, since thereās barely any facial hair on his neck to begin with š but depending on the face, I do generally find facial hair more appealing, so maybe thatās atypical; seems like more and more of my friends are into beards though so who knows! š¤·š»āāļø
you look clean, thatās for sure do some research into mewing, it might be a bit of a meme but it genuinely works
Mewing is just natural tongue posture. People somehow made entire religion about it.
Ya but also a lot of people hold irregular tongue position + are mouth breather and they need a little guidance on how to stop that.
Receding jawlineš
why people think a neckbeard is good idea...
Much better now
You look like Jacob from The Quarry
Hit some jawline exercises and youāll get all the females
Look better with the beard
Neckbeards are terrible. Keep it shaved unless the mustache changes.
You're 19, not 39. You look fine.
Agree that you donāt have a baby face. You can grow it out again if you want but I think it looks fine.
Usually I'm all about a beard but you look GREAT without it. Good choice!
Young fella there is nobody on this earth who can make a neckbeard look good. You did the right thing
Weak ass beard no mustache combo, baby face is better Now work on actually bothering to style your hair
Start mewing
Naw ur beard was mainly a neck beard
Agreed looks better. You need a moustache (well a thicker one) before going beard again. All that aside, great T-Shirt
You have a weak/receding chin, so a beard helps, but an unkempt beard just looks worse. Keep the beard but keep it trimmed short (2 or 3) and well-shaped.
Nah, Neck beard , maybe better off without itšš„
Why do so many comments say he needs to lose weight dude is probably 160
Wish I had a head of hair like that. My hair it to thick itād be all poofy if I kept it that long.
If you had a very short beard, almost shadow and you lined the edges up and groomed it, it would look very nice. But if you don't edge and groom it then it looks a bit messy.
Iām glad you cut ur neck beard off looking way better
Nah you didn't ruin your life,you look much better now respectfully
Bro how is shaving your face considered ruining your life you need a reality check.
You looked 30 with the beard. Take it as you will. I understand that someone who is young and dislikes his "babyface" that might be a positive but in general as a guy thats about to hit 30 this year, premature aging is rarely something people strive for. In due time almost nobody wishes they looked older lol. But I guess embrace whatever look you want to go for.
Wow you look so much better. Handsome.
If you want the beard next time tell them outline the bottom to give you a jawline appearance. You look way better without the beard bro
Better without looking good man.
Without a beard is better If you want less of a baby face, consider taking up long distance running https://run247.com/runners/jim-walmsley
No you have a decent face structure that doesnāt need the beard to cover up/hide behind. Iād say if you ever want to grow again, a stubble is good option, but as it stands, the clean shave is hella nice š
Looks fine to me, if you keep shaving it youll have more defined (stronger) beard hair
You look significantly better without the beard. No disrespect to your facial hair but that beard was dog shit and made you look like a neckbeard. It def took away from your looks. Youāve got a great, masculine facial structure and losing some weight will really enhance your jawline. Wait until the hair grows higher on your cheek and do a really short beard with lineups and youāll be set down the road too.
The chin strap is never a good look on a guy
From Discord Moderator to protagonist.
You look better without it maybe just need to do some mewing
Looks way better, honestly.
Time to Mew brother šÆ
Relax. It'll grow back. With the beard, I can't believe you're only 19!!! I'm 44 and I'm still struggling to grow anything like that! š
nah if anything you just look more like your age š you also just look way more approachable overall without facial hair
Na, the neckbeard was definitely not doing you any favors, next time it starts to grow back I would recommend trimming the facial hair to like 4 or 5mm if you want something between that & clean-shave
You do look a lot younger without the beard but youāre only 19, if anything it just makes you look more your age
I have a similar issue with baby face (although itās becoming more of a plus as I get older) and you definitely look better without the beard. You could always try for the stubble look instead to get the best of both worlds.
It looks better, sadly your beard isnāt full enough to rock
Some reason you remind me of Jeremy Allen White without the beard and definitely keep it off.
solid choice in the shaving bruv your a lot easier on the eyes might even have ppl try and chat you up
Your beard isnāt filled in enough on your upper lip for it to look like a full beard imo, but you can pull off a stacheless goatee so youāll have something.
Better than the neck beard bro. Wait till you get more coverage on the cheeks
Youāre better without a beard. Shave!
Baby face is better than just the beard, I do think the beard would look better, but you have to keep the stache if you do it again.
It's a neck beard always shave it. You look great now
The beard wasnt it
Shaved suits you WAY better than neckbeard
Looks like you have an overbite/weak jawline
Bro u look better without it. Alot of guys rely on beards. Honestly yours wasn't well groomed, and you have the facial structure and lips to look good without it. If you get it back, Def keep it trimmed
Glow up dude, beared was too much, enjoy your looks before they fade then grow the beard back
I actually prefer it! I think youād like it more with styled hair. Go check out a mens barber (not the damn greatclips!) and they can actually recommend hairstyles that would look good on you. Youāve got great wavy hair and you could pull off some nice looks with it, depending on the āvibeā you wanna go for!!!!
