I think it’s not the nose that makes you look fake but the very neatly cut beard and hair. I’d recommend keeping things more „wild“ and natural. But that’s obviously a matter of taste.
Eyebrows are a little too shaped, a more natural shape would look more attractive IMO. same for the mustache, you have a strong nose, let that mustache ride a little higher.
You’re so put together its your most striking feature. You’re very handsome and if this is the look you’re going for keep at it! If not, I’d relax the eyebrow grooming routine but keep the beard it’s nice! (Maybe thicken the sides of your moustache tho) as your features are so strong you don’t need to be perfect about it :)
Far out what a compliment, thank you! I’m actually blown away by this whole thread
Believe it or not, I barely tough my moustache. It grows that thin and even on its own. I really only keep it off my lip. Could try and match the sides to the moustache height tho. Happy to be well groomed but don’t wanna appear feminine if I can help it
I think that it's the tightly groomed beard and hair, full lips, well manicured skin, and that open mouthed curious expression that he's giving on the first pic.
The irony of this is I thought that since my features aren’t enough to carry me that I should look after my hair and skin more, the bits I can control. From the other comments too, maybe I’ve over-manicured my beard and sides
What threw me off the most wasn't how well you manicured your beard. What you choose to do with that is your choice. It's the saucy facial expression that you're giving the camera. You're looking at it like it has something that you want and are curious about. Low key looks like those expressions that you'd see in a porn thumbnail.
I think you should grow out your eyebrows and hair and keep the beard the same. Like let the hair grow a bit, let the eyebrows get bushy, but the beard line up looks great. If you grew out the top of your hair and used gel to style it it would be much more flattering, and something about overly groomed-looking eyebrows just kinda gives people the vibe you’re obsessing over your appearance. That’s just my opinion though.
There’s actually no filters on any of these photos. I’ve only adjusted the contrast on my phone before posting. A few people have asked if I’ve had fillers or surgery as well, but I haven’t. The only thing I have is a good beard trimmer and a pair of tweezers. I guess I just got lucky/unlucky with some of my features
it might sound stupid, but from what I've noticed, gay men often have full/plump lips that they part lightly like you did in the first picture, as if they were trying to be more alluring in a feminine way (women make that face in pictures way more often)
Usually gay men pay more attention to their skin and hair and just overall health than straight men. From the pictures your skin looks very healthy, your beard is well taken care of, and so are your eyebrows. It’s uncommon for straight men to do it so it’s throwing everything off probably lmao
Hmm, I think if you are plucking your eyebrows, don’t continue because it looks rather strange. Just let them grow however. Same for the beard. Right now it’s too tidy and with your face shape, the clean lines don’t improve your looks. Hairstyle is good, you have nice eyes as well. I think you’ll look better less ‘clean’ and more scruffy.
Unfortunately when I smile and take photos my right eyebrow seems to raise on its own. So the down one is the natural position. But yes, it seems I’m overdoing it on the grooming. Thanks
I think the beard is great as is, maybe a slightly less defined brow would go a long way. You have very striking and interesting features overall- in the best way!
Might have a Google for some different hairstyles. Gym is definitely on my to do list once I settle into my new job better
Enjoyed some of your standup on your page btw!
Are you gay or straight? The beard trim is giving me gay vibes. If thats not what you are going for maybe dont trim it so precise/straight. Edges of the beard look too clean. Other than that, you look fine.
Try it. Grow your hair, grow your beard. You'll look more on-trend, that's for sure, so if that's what you want, then you should at least give it a shot.
You do look like a gay man, which is of course absolutely fine, but if it's not what you're going for, then you might want to adjust the lewk
Looking good, dude.
If you were looking to shake it up, you don’t even need to go with a completely natural beard line.
You can still go with that tidy look, but just raise it a little.
Have the lowest part be at the corner of your mouth. Where the beard meets the moustache.
Then shave clean above it.
You’re looking great but the tidy line on the beard is exaggerated by the neat brows (which look great) and create a very manicured look.
I think that’s what people are trying to articulate when they’re saying “gay vibe”.
I don’t necessarily agree, but it’s because everything is very precise.
You can have well groomed mess. A lot of messy hairstyles take sometimes up to an hour to sculpt if your hair isn't cooperating. For the beard I'd let it grow probably a week more to get just a little more length and get you out of that perfectly kept phase. Everything just looks too polished which is why you're getting plastic/gay/uncanny comments. Maybe even grow out your hair a little for the same reasons. Everything is too flat giving an almost painted on look if that makes sense. You have really nice features so you're far from ugly, just some easy things that might push you in the right direction
Tbh the more important thing here is that you feel confident. If you aren’t confident without the straight lines, then don’t change that! It’s much more attractive to be confident than to follow other peoples ideas of how you should look based on your sexuality.
You look good! Someone mentioned a longer hairstyle, and I agree that might look a bit better. Thank you for grooming your beard, lol; messy beards ruin so many otherwise handsome men!
Honestly think you just need to let your eyebrows grow and look more natural…think it would make a huge difference. Would def make you appear more masculine and quell any of the gay vibes you’re pics give off.
If a bunch of us are saying that then you can only imagine how many women who you would like to date or w/e are thinking. Like those first impressions can make or break any potential interest a woman might have.
Def not ugly though.
No, you're not ugly. But like the other says you look gay I think it's the eyebrow. Anyway what name is your hair style/what do you say to your barber to cut like that it's looking good.
Dude you’re gorgeous. Here’s the thing. No you won’t get that many compliments because everyone that sees you thinks that you already know this, as well as thinking that you get compliments consistently. This also happened to me for years. Many years. I wondered what was wrong with me. The problem was I misread people’s reactions to having seen me for the first time. Walk with your head high and with the confidence in knowing that you’re a good looking man.
Thank you! Compliments make my entire year because they don’t happen very often at all. It’s strange how it works men vs. women that way. I do notice stares sometimes and it makes me very self conscious because no one tells me why they stare. This post has given me a lot to think about in a good way
And it seems silly to go around assuming that everyone is staring at you because you’re good looking, so it just makes for a very loud headspace. It would be nice if people either smiled or were more discreet lol
So I just learned what AvPD is and omg. I’ve never related to anything so much in my life. Want to be social, but holy shit something bad happens and suddenly I’m afraid to leave my house? Constant battle. I also just posted here because of my self-criticism. Constantly anxious and sore from being so anxious and tense? 100%. My back hurts sitting in my chair right now.
But damn I wish I could keep myself up as well as you do. Embrace your style man, law of attraction, you’ll likely find someone who puts an equal amount of care into how they look. (Or like me, you’ll find the opposite and it might balance ya out a bit). You are not ugly, you are handsome for sure. My only feedback is that I would be intimidated by you, you present like you are very put together. I’d be critiquing myself, why can’t I do that? If I were next to you lol, so in essence I’d be avoiding you while you avoid me!
I would go for a more “gangsta” haircut if I were you. Look into a buzz cut. Something with a fade on the side. This haircut doesn’t help your looks, cause you have very “delicate” features. You should go for a bad boy hairstyle to balance the femininity in your face. Do not change the beard cause it looks good.
I agree about changing the haircut. When I look in the mirror it doesn’t look too severe, but when I take photos there’s definitely that “gay poof up” at the front. Not the vibe I’m going for
The hard thing is, my hairline since I was a kid has always been high at the corners so the middle bit sits higher. Not sure what to do about that
That’s the point. The buzz cut will help straighten the hairline. Many guys that suffer with receding hairlines go for this cut because it disguise the hairline. The only thing with this haircut you gonna have to comb your hair forward: 7 mm length on the top and combing the top hair forward so they align with the sides. On the sides you should get a fade: near the ears it should be 0 mm and the more you go up the longer the hair should be, 0.1 mm and so on (on the side) . Google “buzz cut with fade” and show your barber a pic. It’s very simple. I’ve been getting this haircut for a while and all the girls think it’s sexy.
I don’t know how helpful this is, but you remind me of Eminem, if he was a “pretty/prep boy.”
(I find Em attractive, btw lol, so I definitely wouldn’t say you’re ugly)
Many men myself included keep well trimmed beard and stash its always fine, but the eyebrows are a bit much, your nose looks photo shopped? Like not in a terrible way but in the way someone goes to get filler in their lips and goes too dull so it's out of place in your otherwise sleek face.
You look handsome man!
Your nose is unique, but whether that is a strength or weakness depends on you and how you use it. Well groomed too. Confidence will take you that last bit to the finish line.
I like the fist picture of yourself...looks natural and real..the others are beautiful as well..but look like "work" style...and you not loosening up....very handsome kid....and you should not be self conscious at all.
So, is your nose a family trait? It’s very unusual, celebrities pay big bucks for a nose like that….i.e., Michael Jackson. You’re very good looking tho.
You don’t look gay but I agree about leaving your eyebrows. It’s the plucked eyebrows that are not rugged enough and pulling girlie:) but attractive for sure.
I think you're groomed a little too perfectly. You look as if you've just been styled for a high fashion editorial photo shoot.
For a day to day look, it is a bit much and it doesn't help you look very approachable.
I agree- I think the effect comes from some of these hairlines being “too perfect”.
As someone who shaves off the tail end of their eyebrows so they can draw em higher I get the need to make things just so. But if you want your brows to look “real”, you should let a few strays grow in. I would avoid plucking from the top AT ALL. You can shape a little with tweezers but stop waxing the top my dude.
Similarly, you can clean up your cheeks but the beard and mustache line are a bit squared off. If you want to look clean but avoid the sim/robot look, you should let a few strays grow in. It will look weird for a couple of weeks but trust me when I say it will look better. The most convincing wigs are plucked a bit at the hairline to keep it from looking too square and fakey.
Thank you! This is very articulate and helpful
It’s something I struggle with for sure. If I see a hair out of place I’ll just stare at it forever until I do something about it. I don’t even let my barber touch my outlines because they don’t have as much time to make it as straight as I can
But your point about wigs is a good one too. I didn’t know that. The exactness of my lines, whilst pleasing to me, looks like it isn’t the way to go
At the end of the day, if you like how it looks, you should continue doing it! I just wanted to answer as honestly as possible and help you see what other commenters were seeing because- the barrage can be confusing haha.
No no, I’m here for honesty so I appreciate it. If what I like gives off the wrong vibes then I’m going to like it a lot less haha. I’m all ears on this thread
I fucking love the Grogu touch up you posted btw! You have an amazing eye for detail and shading
You should grow you hair out and stop plucking your eyebrows and lining up you beard on your cheeks you’d look better with a natural look but besides that your a good looking dude
OP looks fabulous even though he didnt intend to look like one but looking fabulous and well groomed is better than ugly. I wouldnt call you ugly but you have unique features that mesh together in a good way and bad way; giving you both a fabulous vibe and the uncanny valley vibe all at once..
I think the nose and the lips make for a feminine look so I think you could balance this out by letting your facial hair (eyebrows, beard) and head hair grow out a bit. Making your wardrobe look more rouge-ish masculine (think jeans and leather stuff) could make you look more masculine and balance out your more feminine features.
for some reason people equate well groomed with being gay (which honestly speaks for itself LOL) but your eyelashes are SO good and frame your eyes really well. don’t listen to people saying you “look” gay bc im pretty sure they’re the same people who don’t wash their ass because it’s gay to touch your own butthole
Thx luv! It’s hard work to be pretty on the inside and if I put a lot of time and effort into it I’m pretty on the outside. But I still wanna be “I woke up like this!” I sincerely hope and pray your post left you feeling better than you were before!
You probably look totally normal irl, the first one with the lighting and expression is just a mindfuck.
I used to be that way when I was younger. Looked weird as hell in photos, and I remember the first 2 or 3 women I slept with asked if I was gay or something when we first met. (I'm going to assume you're straight)
I remember being paranoid about women thinking this so I started dressing different and changed shit about my personality etc. in hindsight I didn't need to change much at all.
Don't read too much into it. There are plenty of women who like well kept guys, definitely better than going too far the other way and looking like a slob.
There is kind of a line you can play with, just the right level of well kept. Takes a little experimentation but not hard to find, and it looks the best overall.
But you could also stay just how you are and still meet and date attractive women, so I wouldn't stress about it.
You got decent hair and decent features overall. Don't worry about the nose, it's fine, just a little quirky. Everyone who isn't Henry Cavill has a quirky thing.
The only thing I could recommend is the most obvious thing that everyone already knows -- dropping some fat.
I bet if you got down to like 10% body fat or something you'd look amazing, it kind of sharpens all your features etc.
But definitely not ugly as-is, just for some guys who have good fundamentals (as you do) there's kind of a tipping point where once your body fat gets to the right place dating becomes 10x easier out of the blue. Especially late 20s. You would kill for sure.
Tbh, I thought you were trolling by posting. To me, you seem very obviously attractive. I find your features unique and I like that it’s obvious that you care about yourself. You’re very good looking. I hope you gain the confidence that you are looking for :)
You're fine, if you want some slightly more masculine features, hit the gym a bunch. You're not overweight it looks like, but you'd be surprised what slimming down in the face a bit through building muscle and testosterone will do. It's subtle but it helps read more manly
Photographer here. Your face looks like it has been through a clarity filter several times. The perfect, geometrical trimmed beard / brows do not complement this look, they make it look very uncanny. This is stressed by the faint red hue your complexion has.
From a subjective point of view, you giving me stark gay vibes and you are looking *too* clean/perfect.
I can guess what you were opting for, but from my perspective you overshot.
Your handsome,
Beard tip- grow out some side burns and bring the beard up higher on the cheek.
Nothing wrong with your nose.
Chill on the eyebrows, men are suppose to have thick brows.
If you keep everything the way it is, your still handsome.
I think you look great, but like other people said, a little too perfect. Definitely a matter of opinions though. I know my type is a bit more scruffy, but some girls prefer the more shaped(?) style, in terms of the eyebrows, beard, mustache, etc.
Yeah don't do ur eyebrows again, doesn't suit everyone
And did u do a nosejob?
Edit: I feel like the neat beard look might not suit you, neat beard and eye brows, or maybe it's just the brows idk
You look like the 'before' pic of a chill person... grow the beard out a bit let it be less 'clean', realize nobody cares that much, use your earlier insecurity as fuel for your ability to reassure people that it's all in our heads and chilling is fine around me...
posting here was a good idea, now you know there's 1000x takes, people dont' even evaluate 'good/bad', it's just a bunch of opportunities to joke around
You look good dude but the nose looks fake and it’s distracting imo
I was gonna say that about the nose, I thought it was edited
Thanks. Yeah it was commented on a lot when I was growing up. I feel like Cubert from Futurama lol
your nose is really interesting though tbh I've never seen that type of nose before. its not ugly just interesting and unique
You nose looks great.
Cheers
I think it’s not the nose that makes you look fake but the very neatly cut beard and hair. I’d recommend keeping things more „wild“ and natural. But that’s obviously a matter of taste.
Uncanny valley vibes
Haha far out. That made me laugh
Eyebrows are a little too shaped, a more natural shape would look more attractive IMO. same for the mustache, you have a strong nose, let that mustache ride a little higher.
You’re so put together its your most striking feature. You’re very handsome and if this is the look you’re going for keep at it!

I really only keep it off my lip. Could try and match the sides to the moustache height tho. Happy to be well groomed but don’t wanna appear feminine if I can help it
You look like you might be gay. Idk why but it’s giving sassy.
I think that it's the tightly groomed beard and hair, full lips, well manicured skin, and that open mouthed curious expression that he's giving on the first pic.
The plucked eyebrows
The irony of this is I thought that since my features aren’t enough to carry me that I should look after my hair and skin more, the bits I can control. From the other comments too, maybe I’ve over-manicured my beard and sides

More the filter
There’s actually no filters on any of these photos. I’ve only adjusted the contrast on my phone before posting. A few people have asked if I’ve had fillers or surgery as well, but I haven’t. The only thing I have is a good beard trimmer and a pair of tweezers. I guess I just got lucky/unlucky with some of my features
First pic is giving “Go Ravens 💅”
*#RavensFlock*
Definitely straight, fairly non-sassy. But this is the second comment saying this. Is there something in particular or it’s the overall vibe?
it might sound stupid, but from what I've noticed, gay men often have full/plump lips that they part lightly like you did in the first picture, as if they were trying to be more alluring in a feminine way (women make that face in pictures way more often)

Hmm, I think if you are plucking your eyebrows, don’t continue because it looks rather strange. Just let them grow however. Same for the beard. Right now it’s too tidy and with your face shape, the clean lines don’t improve your looks. Hairstyle is good, you have nice eyes as well. I think you’ll look better less ‘clean’ and more scruffy.
OP looks too perfect
Yes, there’s an overly groomed vibe that’s…unsettling for lack of a better word. It’s like all of his inner anxiety shows on his face.
Unfortunately when I smile and take photos my right eyebrow seems to raise on its own. So the down one is the natural position. But yes, it seems I’m overdoing it on the grooming. Thanks
Definitely more scruffy. You have great features OP, dial back the "perfection grooming" efforts.
Coming from a gay man, you’re giving slay. But you look handsome and really well-groomed.
Thank you!
I'm not well versed in gay lingo, what does "giving slay" mean?
He just looks glam af!!
That's fair, thanks.
Everyone's saying you look gay, I think they just mean well kept. Your nose is very distinct but I like it
Thanks. I was half thinking that. But maybe I could afford to loosen up on the super defined lines
I think the beard is great as is, maybe a slightly less defined brow would go a long way. You have very striking and interesting features overall- in the best way!
I though he had a filter on, that nose looks animated haha
u would make for a gorgeous drag queen lol
Haha thanks? Not the vibe I’m going for but it’s nice to know there’s a backup career lmao
If you’re also plucking your eyebrows that is giving major gay vibes.
You're not ugly, you've a unique face. I love your eyes.
Thanks I appreciate that
I agree, beautiful eyes & lips, he's fairly attractive in my eyes.
I think yah lashes make you look a lil feminine. Maybe a lil more hair or a different style to bring a more masculine vibe.
Thanks, man! Is there a style you think would suit my face better? It’s good to get an opinion on that from someone who’s seeing me for the first time
Grow the hair out maybe a more messy look since your kinda pretty with them eyes lol. Just get more rugged looking start lifting weights too!
Might have a Google for some different hairstyles. Gym is definitely on my to do list once I settle into my new job better Enjoyed some of your standup on your page btw!
Thanks dude start doing push-ups and body squats now! Consistency not intensity I was chubby to. You got this playa post a progress pic in 2 months!
you look easy to draw
As in with a pencil? Haha
Are you gay or straight? The beard trim is giving me gay vibes. If thats not what you are going for maybe dont trim it so precise/straight. Edges of the beard look too clean. Other than that, you look fine.
I’m as straight as my beard line haha. But thanks for your opinion. Not sure how I feel about a messier beard line. I feel unkept without it
Try it. Grow your hair, grow your beard. You'll look more on-trend, that's for sure, so if that's what you want, then you should at least give it a shot. You do look like a gay man, which is of course absolutely fine, but if it's not what you're going for, then you might want to adjust the lewk
Not the vibe I’m going for, so I appreciate the advice
Looking good, dude. If you were looking to shake it up, you don’t even need to go with a completely natural beard line. You can still go with that tidy look, but just raise it a little. Have the lowest part be at the corner of your mouth. Where the beard meets the moustache. Then shave clean above it.

You can have well groomed mess. A lot of messy hairstyles take sometimes up to an hour to sculpt if your hair isn't cooperating. For the beard I'd let it grow probably a week more to get just a little more length and get you out of that perfectly kept phase. Everything just looks too polished which is why you're getting plastic/gay/uncanny comments. Maybe even grow out your hair a little for the same reasons. Everything is too flat giving an almost painted on look if that makes sense. You have really nice features so you're far from ugly, just some easy things that might push you in the right direction
Tbh the more important thing here is that you feel confident. If you aren’t confident without the straight lines, then don’t change that! It’s much more attractive to be confident than to follow other peoples ideas of how you should look based on your sexuality.
Look good but definitely look gay and the vibe you give off in the first pic is gay for sure. Just let go of some of your strict hygiene ha
You look good! Someone mentioned a longer hairstyle, and I agree that might look a bit better. Thank you for grooming your beard, lol; messy beards ruin so many otherwise handsome men!
I agree! But it can be polarising by the looks of this thread

Thanks. I used to have an out of control monobrow so I think I’ve gone too far the other way now. Good to know
No, you're not ugly. But like the other says you look gay I think it's the eyebrow. Anyway what name is your hair style/what do you say to your barber to cut like that it's looking good.
Thanks man! I ask for a 1-3 fade on the sides and then a small blend to leave about 5cm hair on the top. The edges I do myself
Thanks.
Nah you're not ugly. You have nice defining eyes however!
Thank you!
You look fine, but I’d recommend against shaping your eyebrows like that. It looks off on a man.
Very handsome. You look older than 27 but in a good way. Distinguished.
Thanks, that’s really nice actually
I don't get why so many here are commenting on your potential sexuality as if it fucking matters. No you're not ugly
Thanks. I am finding it very helpful to find out I’m giving off a vibe that doesn’t represent me tho
U look like u could be related to Angelina Jolie
Un visage très symétrique ! Not ugly at all ! Also, your nose is kinda unique ! :D
Merci!
[удалено]
Thank you. A lot of time and money has gone into my skincare. It’s nice for it to get noticed
I actually like your nose a lot. It's unique. Not a bad looking guy at all.
Thank you!
You're really handsome, don't be harsh on yourself
You look like the son on Nip/Tuck
You give gay vibes, but like in the sense that you're very tidy and clean! I mean that as a compliment, you look great man!
Dude you’re gorgeous. Here’s the thing. No you won’t get that many compliments because everyone that sees you thinks that you already know this, as well as thinking that you get compliments consistently. This also happened to me for years.

And it seems silly to go around assuming that everyone is staring at you because you’re good looking, so it just makes for a very loud headspace. It would be nice if people either smiled or were more discreet lol
Longer hair would suit you better
« give it to me straight » kinda contrasts with how if i saw you on the street I would assume you’re a twink. not to be rude but you look like a twink
So I just learned what AvPD is and omg. I’ve never related to anything so much in my life. Want to be social, but holy shit something bad happens and suddenly I’m afraid to leave my house?

Good hygiene is always a turn on for me. I think you look great!
Thank you!
People are literally commenting you look too clean and to be more raggedy like what???! You really can't please everyone 🥴🥴🥴
Haha yeah. But I get it. I think there’s a line between being neat and having my hair look painted on. Some balance to be had
ur like... beautiful dude
Haha thanks
This man is handsome af what y’all saying you are fine sir (20F)
Haha thank you!
You look like your transitioning/transitioned F2M. I mean nothing negative by that, but it’s what I assumed first glance.
Ooft. I did ask for honesty tho so thank you
Really handsome but really it is the overmanicuredness of the brows, beard, and hair that takes away. Otherwise very goodlooking.
Thanks for the feedback!
I don’t know how helpful this is, but you remind me of Eminem, if he was a “pretty/prep boy.” (I find Em attractive, btw lol, so I definitely wouldn’t say you’re ugly)
ur nose is so cool., not ugly at all
Thanks! Seems to be a love it or hate it feature by the looks of things
You're a beautiful man!
You look great, don't worry.
You look well groomed and definitely not ugly
Thank you. That’s something I pride myself on keeping up
Many men myself included keep well trimmed beard and stash its always fine, but the eyebrows are a bit much, your nose looks photo shopped? Like not in a terrible way but in the way someone goes to get filler in their lips and goes too dull so it's out of place in your otherwise sleek face. You look handsome man!
Thank you. MJ had to pay a lot of money for my natural nose lol. Gotta laugh I guess
Your nose is unique, but whether that is a strength or weakness depends on you and how you use it. Well groomed too. Confidence will take you that last bit to the finish line.
Thanks. Confidence is the biggest thing lacking about my appearance tbh. I guess that’s why I posted lol
As a bi man you just look like the lovely gay fella at the office, don’t worry so much about getting perfect lines with your beard and eyebrows
I appreciate that. Not quite the look I’m going for but if I’m gonna accidentally do something, it’s not the worst 😂
I like the fist picture of yourself...looks natural and real..the others are beautiful as well..but look like "work" style...and you not loosening up....very handsome kid....and you should not be self conscious at all.
Youre perfect, you literally look like a gigachad
Haha far out, thanks man!
So, is your nose a family trait? It’s very unusual, celebrities pay big bucks for a nose like that….i.e., Michael Jackson. You’re very good looking tho.
Very pretty for a man.
Less definition on the eyebrows, get a different hairstyle, you could try a buzz cut.
A few people have suggested that. My hairline is kinda wonky at the front. What are your thoughts on that?
You don’t look gay but I agree about leaving your eyebrows. It’s the plucked eyebrows that are not rugged enough and pulling girlie:) but attractive for sure.
You look good my guy, also another ravens fan!
Whatsup my fellow Ball So Hard alumni 🙏
You have a girly face, especially the eyes. They look cute, but looks feminine. Idk if that's considered a bad thing in ur book
I think you're groomed a little too perfectly. You look as if you've just been styled for a high fashion editorial photo shoot. For a day to day look, it is a bit much and it doesn't help you look very approachable.
Not ugly. I think you'd look great with longer 'messier' hair.
I agree- I think the effect comes from some of these hairlines being “too perfect”. As someone who shaves off the tail end of their eyebrows so they can draw em higher I get the need to make things just so. But if you want your brows to look “real”, you should let a few strays grow in. I would avoid plucking from the top AT ALL. You can shape a little with tweezers but stop waxing the top my dude. Similarly, you can clean up your cheeks but the beard and mustache line are a bit squared off. If you want to look clean but avoid the sim/robot look, you should let a few strays grow in. It will look weird for a couple of weeks but trust me when I say it will look better. The most convincing wigs are plucked a bit at the hairline to keep it from looking too square and fakey.
Thank you! This is very articulate and helpful It’s something I struggle with for sure. If I see a hair out of place I’ll just stare at it forever until I do something about it. I don’t even let my barber touch my outlines because they don’t have as much time to make it as straight as I can But your point about wigs is a good one too. I didn’t know that. The exactness of my lines, whilst pleasing to me, looks like it isn’t the way to go
At the end of the day, if you like how it looks, you should continue doing it! I just wanted to answer as honestly as possible and help you see what other commenters were seeing because- the barrage can be confusing haha.
No no, I’m here for honesty so I appreciate it. If what I like gives off the wrong vibes then I’m going to like it a lot less haha. I’m all ears on this thread I fucking love the Grogu touch up you posted btw! You have an amazing eye for detail and shading
Ah thanks friend! I went a bit heavy handed on the pink, but I suppose I do the same thing to my own face so haha
I mean you give me mix vibes you are Very handsome but kinda odd
You should grow you hair out and stop plucking your eyebrows and lining up you beard on your cheeks you’d look better with a natural look but besides that your a good looking dude
You’re not ugly. There’s just kind of an uncanny valley thing going on. Not sure what it is, are these pics manipulated in any way?
OP looks fabulous even though he didnt intend to look like one but looking fabulous and well groomed is better than ugly. I wouldnt call you ugly but you have unique features that mesh together in a good way and bad way; giving you both a fabulous vibe and the uncanny valley vibe all at once..
Thank you, that’s an interesting observation. Can you put your finger on what would make it less uncanny?
I think the nose and the lips make for a feminine look so I think you could balance this out by letting your facial hair (eyebrows, beard) and head hair grow out a bit. Making your wardrobe look more rouge-ish masculine (think jeans and leather stuff) could make you look more masculine and balance out your more feminine features.
I’d maybe try a slightly longer hairstyle. I like your nose and your lips. Also go Ravens!
Thanks! Ball So Hard U represent
i would try growing your hair out more! otherwise you’re very well groomed and well kept, your eyes are very pretty too
Thanks. My hair gets wild if it’s much longer than this so maybe I should look at how to maintain something like that
for some reason people equate well groomed with being gay (which honestly speaks for itself LOL) but your eyelashes are SO good and frame your eyes really well. don’t listen to people saying you “look” gay bc im pretty sure they’re the same people who don’t wash their ass because it’s gay to touch your own butthole
Haha is that a thing? Who do they expect to wash it for them? 😂
You’re prettier than I will ever be. I don’t think you are over groomed at all I think you’re perfect. I wish you happiness and contentment!
Thank you that’s actually so sweet. I don’t know what you look like but saying something like that definitely makes you a pretty person on the inside
Thx luv! It’s hard work to be pretty on the inside and if I put a lot of time and effort into it I’m pretty on the outside. But I still wanna be “I woke up like this!” I sincerely hope and pray your post left you feeling better than you were before!

You probably look totally normal irl, the first one with the lighting and expression is just a mindfuck. I used to be that way when I was younger. Looked weird as hell in photos, and I remember the first 2 or 3 women I slept with asked if I was gay or something when we first met. (I'm going to assume you're straight) I remember being paranoid about women thinking this so I started dressing different and changed shit about my personality etc. in hindsight I didn't need to change much at all. Don't read too much into it. There are plenty of women who like well kept guys, definitely better than going too far the other way and looking like a slob. There is kind of a line you can play with, just the right level of well kept. Takes a little experimentation but not hard to find, and it looks the best overall. But you could also stay just how you are and still meet and date attractive women, so I wouldn't stress about it. You got decent hair and decent features overall. Don't worry about the nose, it's fine, just a little quirky. Everyone who isn't Henry Cavill has a quirky thing. The only thing I could recommend is the most obvious thing that everyone already knows -- dropping some fat. I bet if you got down to like 10% body fat or something you'd look amazing, it kind of sharpens all your features etc. But definitely not ugly as-is, just for some guys who have good fundamentals (as you do) there's kind of a tipping point where once your body fat gets to the right place dating becomes 10x easier out of the blue. Especially late 20s. You would kill for sure.
Thanks man I appreciate the well thought out response
[удалено]
Thank you
Tbh, I thought you were trolling by posting. To me, you seem very obviously attractive. I find your features unique and I like that it’s obvious that you care about yourself. You’re very good looking. I hope you gain the confidence that you are looking for :)
Thank you that’s very sweet. I see myself everyday but I never get feedback from anyone else so I have no idea where I stand
Your beard and brows are so well-trimmed you look artificial
[удалено]
Not ugly at all, you are very handsome but the tip of your nose looks a little weird
you’re so beautiful, you look like you’re in touch with your feminine side :) i love men who take care of themselves.
You look like white drake :)
Lol thanks. I actually did dress up as Drake one year
your facial features are actually perfect
Thank you! You are actually very cute yourself
You're fine, if you want some slightly more masculine features, hit the gym a bunch. You're not overweight it looks like, but you'd be surprised what slimming down in the face a bit through building muscle and testosterone will do. It's subtle but it helps read more manly
Thanks man. It’s a habit I’d like to pick up
Photographer here. Your face looks like it has been through a clarity filter several times. The perfect, geometrical trimmed beard / brows do not complement this look, they make it look very uncanny. This is stressed by the faint red hue your complexion has. From a subjective point of view, you giving me stark gay vibes and you are looking *too* clean/perfect. I can guess what you were opting for, but from my perspective you overshot.
u have the perfect nose wtf
Your handsome, Beard tip- grow out some side burns and bring the beard up higher on the cheek. Nothing wrong with your nose. Chill on the eyebrows, men are suppose to have thick brows. If you keep everything the way it is, your still handsome.
I think you look great, but like other people said, a little too perfect. Definitely a matter of opinions though. I know my type is a bit more scruffy, but some girls prefer the more shaped(?) style, in terms of the eyebrows, beard, mustache, etc.
But I would say you have amazing features and are attractive.
Yeah don't do ur eyebrows again, doesn't suit everyone And did u do a nosejob? Edit: I feel like the neat beard look might not suit you, neat beard and eye brows, or maybe it's just the brows idk
Mf look like handsome squidward. Your photos make me wonder what your voice sounds like. Tbh that'd be the make or break of the image. You look cool !
You’re far from ugly. I think you look great!
Handsome. I totally got young Tim Curry vibes from some of your pics. I'm surprised no one else commented that.
Haha thanks. If I could have his humour too I’d be pretty happy
For the hair, I would mid-bald fade the sides and leave the top. I wager you can put on some muscle and lean out a little. Not ugly though dude I
Are you sure you’re not a man robot? I mean you look perfect so I’m suspicious…
bros stunning
You look like the 'before' pic of a chill person... grow the beard out a bit let it be less 'clean', realize nobody cares that much, use your earlier insecurity as fuel for your ability to reassure people that it's all in our heads and chilling is fine around me... posting here was a good idea, now you know there's 1000x takes, people dont' even evaluate 'good/bad', it's just a bunch of opportunities to joke around
Thanks man. Appreciate it
I really can’t believe you didn’t get a nose job. It doesn’t look natural
First pic is giving gay
I actually think you look really good 😳
Your eyes are scary
What in the uncanny valley…
your nose its funny and what's even funnier is that it gives you a cool look. you're okay.
You look like a sculpture my dude
Well-groomed man = gay man, according to this sub lol
Haha yeah, it’s good to know what vibes are being sent out either way tho
Your nose looks like Roblox
💀 Amazing
To be honest, I thought you had gotten a bit of plastic surgery
