Socially, medically, or otherwise.

Unexpected T pro: my cat loves aggressively head butting my facial scruff after a day or two of not shaving

Unexpected T con: my cat’s hair gets caught up in my facial hair any time I do this and it’s annoying to get it all out

Most men in my family were bald in their early twenties, yet here I am in my late twenties with hair halfway down my back 🤪 genetics are weird. Got a whole family line that has hair just turns silvery white fairly young, another side with curly red hair who are also somehow able to tan (that did NOT pass on to my mom or me, we burn bad), plenty of dudes who look a lot like me (bulky/broad, and hairy enough to make a yeti look twice). I'm mostly the latter with some hints of red in the brown.
