You might literally be lacking masculinity :?
(like.. biologically)


Definitely talk to your doctor about getting testosterone injections, for some reason, you might not be producing enough testosterone.

I have black hair literally everywhere on my body and If I go unshaven for a week, I have a beard so I usually just trim it like in my display image, that's a goatee I had grown for one week. Dark Caucasian or tanned people tend to be darker and a lot hairier than blondes for some reason but if you are a brunette or raven haired, you should definitely speak to a doctor.

Another possibility that you might want to look into is applying Rogaine which can stimulate hair or hair follicle growth, applying it on your face for twice a day for six months to a year may stimulate beard growth.

Definitely speak to your general practitioner first as they might know and if it comes to, you might have to have testosterone injections.

I remember reading before that blood vessels being too close to the skin's surface can interfere with facial hair growth. I used to know a guy that had what look like a reddish birthmark covering the majority of his face, and I never saw him have any noticeable facial hair growth on him either. That must have really sucked for him cause it would've been the perfect way to hide most of it too.

Maybe you should hang out with younger/shorter girls.

I'm just an 'old creepy guy' when I try to talk to women under 23 ish.

Women, as a rule, generally want guys to be within 7 years older than them and no more.

I am attracted to slightly feminine men, and it always worried me, because I wouldn't want that, to signify they were gay or bisexual.

Rubbish, I have dated women for 25-30 in the past year and mainly find women in their late 20's to be more attracted to me than younger girls.

My ex is 13 years my senior and we had a very happy relationship for three years. The last guy I've been involved with is 14 years my senior. I like older men in general, but age has never been the main issue, as it isn't for a lot of girls. I've never heard about a "rule" like that... :roll:

Besides, why women under 23 ish specifically?

Bah! I don't think I'm less of a man and need bloody injections just because my face and chest aren't covered in pubic hair!

I thought most women hated body hair on men?

Actually they don't do injections much. Now there's creams and a small implant as the most common.
Unless you're trying to do steroids

I've always been attracted to "feminine" men as well. I don't like beards or body hair and I greatly prefer a slim physique. I've actually even had crushes on actual gay guys. :shrug:
