I'm 21 and I suffer the same problem as you. :(

I want longer sideburns and hair on my chin but the only thing I can grow is a moustache. Sucks don't it? :(

don't worry, accept yourself as is. shaving's a pain anyways. If you want to look less wimpy hit the weights. ;)

Shaving doesn't make the hair grow back thicker or anything, but I think it makes it more visible. You take off the ends leaving only the thicker base inside. So, it grows out straight and such. At least, thats what I think. Facial hair is ok, not good, not bad. You look a lil more rugged, but then my sideburns suck! Gotta shave em like every 4 days. Plus, my legs have more hair then any other asian I've seen. Looks weird.

Boy, I'd love to trade places with you. Being the hairy beast that I am, I don't particularly like shaving every single day.

Heh... my girlfriend INSISTS that I shave once she can feel any type of stubble. I made a deal with her - she shaves her legs, I shave my face :p

Really though, I've had full sideburns for a year now. I can't grow a full beard or mustache though, just small patches of hair :\

not to offend any asians or anything, but whats up with you guys growing them chin puebes?! I had an asian friend who obviously wasn't very hairy, so he let whatever he had grow out on his face. It ended up all long and curly, like puebes! AWFUL!

I'm 21 and I've had a full beard since I was 17. Or rather at least I've been able to grow one. After a while having a full beard gets irritating. I guess Sluggo is right about the testosterone thing too. I'm balding badly, I have tons of facial and body hair, and my build is naturally muscular even though I rarely excercise.

Sorry. Short of hormone therapy, you're not going to be able to crank out any more facial hair. Although you will get somewhat furrier as you get older; I couldn't grow much of a moustache until a year ago or so (I'm 30). Trust me, shaving every day is a PITA...if you want to look bigger and scarier shave your head and start lifting weights like a fiend.;) Gives you that Oddjob kinda look if you get big enough.

Believe me, shaving is NOT fun. Yes, the rug look is nice, but it's a trend. If you want a badass look now, get your nose pierce or something... at least that's temporary.

Same reason why some people have obscene amount of body hair (especially back hair)... genetics. Were you really that stupid to realize that? or were you just acting stupid for a laugh?

Just remember what you are wishing for boys. You get the ability to grow a beard and you get ass hair, ass crack hair and gorilla back. This would also include the hair that links your beard to your chest hair. Some guys shave their necks to their neckline.

Be thankfull you have less bodyhair/facial hair, it's a blessing. The grass is not greener on the other side of this fence..

no, your wrong. thats an old myth. hair is made of dead cells, therefore it won't make a differance if its cut or not.

Yeah, the grass is not greener over here. You don't wanna come over and I'd trade places with you in a second! Shaving takes time and if you're lucky too, it'll hurt. :D

of course i don't want a hairy back or chest. just some facial hair not just for toughness but a mature look.
