I am a South Asian guy so I have no problem growing a beard. Not patchy at all and it grows really fast. But, being South Asian, my body is already super hairy without the beard, so I don’t know if it’s best for me to minimize the hairy-ness or take advantage of my ability to grow a beard.

the other thing is that I’m a college student at a university in the US that has a pretty sizable South Asian population, and it seems like most of the brown guys here have beards. So I feel like if I also have one I’m just gonna mix in and look like another hairy Indian dude with a beard.

I think the beard does help with my weak-ish jawline and it looks pretty decent on me when I have the barber trim it and line it up. Any thoughts?
