You’re white though. I know for me, I still don’t even have much hair on my legs. I had no back hair until about the age of 30…and no chest hair until after college. I was never very hairy. It is like my body just finally hit full maturity.
It makes me think that most guys are not really grown up until mid to late 30’s…for real…in all areas.[/quote]
I find this very interesting and in some ways promising.
I met a state-level champion bodybuilder and he told me similar things. He told me he couldn’t hold on to an ounce of muscle until his mid 30’s. While probably somewhat of an exaggeration… I do wonder if it’s no coincidence that a lot of top guys are in their mid to late 30’s these days.[/quote]
just to develop this slightly: does anybody else think that muscle looks better as it ages? Up to a point, obviously, but guys in their late 30s and 40s muscle always looks grainier and denser than younger guys.

Of course you have quite a bit more meat on your bones than Sam Jackson, but I can definitely see you mellowing into a similarly graying Bad Motherfucker in another couple decades.

It?s been scientifically proven that women prefer men with facial hair[/quote]
…and as we all know, there is no better scientific critique than esquire. I also got an “ooooh-whee!” today…which I understand is woman talk for I want that thang.

I’ve been able to grow a beard since I was 19 and my Dad (44) still can’t grow a beard. He can grow a kick ass mustache though and I can’t. It’s so weird.[/quote]

I think so too man. All the biggest, strongest motherfuckers are in their 30’s and 40’s. Some of that is because it takes so many years (decades) of hitting the iron to reach those levels, but I think some of it is just that “old man strength”. Once a man gets past his 20’s he seems to not only get hairier but stronger. I dunno if it’s denser muscles or better neurological connections or what. Makes me optimistic about lifting as a life long endeavor though.[/quote]
Ahahahahaha! I am indeed late to the party. That pic is full of win. I agree with Chris: a potential liability nightmare of Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction-esque proportions if some clown on Facebook actually tried to snort HOT-ROX (even near a hot box), but full of win nonetheless.

Can I toss a bet out their that you’re probably balding? Most people I know who are able to grow full beards very young also tend to bald early too.
I am not sure what changed, I was a very late bloomer. So much that I actually grew another inch in my 20’s. The patches eventually just filled in. Well most of them…If I trim it to short it can look a little patchy. So I don’t trim it to short.[/quote]
I wouldn’t describe my beard as growing full yet, but its definitely thicker than most dudes my age. I just have a tiny gap between the mustache and the goatee that needs to fill in. Otherwise the cheeks, chin and mustache are all very full.
But yes, I’ve had some recession of my hairline at the temples, and probably some thinning. It’s not really anything noticeable to someone else, but I’ll probably be rocking the jack nicholson by the time I’m 30 for sure.
