Is there a scientific reason why some men never grow facial hair?

Facial hair is largely a byproduct of European genes.

That's why most African cats you meet barely have facial hair. You're not gonna see any Cutty from the Wire looking cats in Africa.

And I say that as a guy with a beard

Exactly. Blacks and Native Americans never had facial hair until they had contact with the Europeans. Its boils down to genetics and sometimes stress.

:sadbron:

i can grow a weak mustache and slight hair on my cheeks/chin but nothing connects. basically besides a weak mustache, i can't grow hair around the mouth area. can't do a goatee. can't grow a respectable beard and when i've tried to let it grow it just made me look like a teen trying to grow a beard to look more mature. So I just shave it clean but i leave the mustache trimmed super low.

I admit it kinda bothers me a little on the inside, lol such is life i guess :manny:

:heh: me too

compared to beans im wack

I don't think that is necessarily true. It comes down to fat, specifically saturated fat, and protein. These two things help make testosterone which is converted to dht in the skin, and this causes hair to grow on the face. When you have low antioxidants in your system the dht is so powerful, it thins you hair out, and you go bald. In African countries they don't eat a lot of fat,and protein. The same in latin countries. While in European countries and America, they eat a shyt load of fat and protein which is why they have so much hair, and go bald so fast. Southern Italy, specifically Sicilians, is kind of different because they eat a lot of extra virgin olive oil which has anti-oxidants in it as well as monounsaturated fat, as well as a little polyunsaturated fat, which is why a lot them don't go bald as much as the rest of the europeans. They still have a lot of baldness going on, but they tend to have old men with their hair into old age.

Look at this map and you will see how the fat, carbs, and protein is broken down by countries.

Well, all men share a Y chromosome with their fathers, grandfathers, great grand etc......


So its very unlikely u got ur hair genes from ur moms side, especially if ur a boy.


Your moms probably had ur pops raising a seed that wasn't his :mjpls:

Not testosterone, DHT. Testosterone is converted to DHT. He might have not had good blood flow to his facial skin to make dht. Or all of his testosterone went to his "monstrous piece", I don't know, but facial hair only grows in the presence of dht, at least in men.
