Also wanted to pick up on that: I started hitting the gym for the body muscles, but was surprised to see that, as a corollary, your face tones up too and even just considering the head you go up one point on the scale of handsomeness.
no. But strange to start growing facial hair so late I think. Idk, no one in my family has any besides on top of the lips and the chin so it was random I started in my 20s.
Have you ever taken testosterone supplements? If you have, it may have helped you grow a full beard.
Also had another thought. Probably because you have genes that may not have been dominant in your parents, but that are in you that might indicate why you are so much taller than everyone else in your family as well as being able to grow a full beard.
No. I don’t believe in those pro testosterone stuff (I think it’s all a scam) and I’m too young to go on testosterone.
I always had some facial hair but the side of the face didn’t grow until later so that was weird. I could only grow a stash and chin beards before.
My grandfather was considered tall for his time. I think about 178. But I’m guessing nutrition wasn’t nearly as good back in his days in Taiwan. Maybe he would have been close to my height if he ate like me.
hmmm, I guess there’s still hope for me to grow a full beard then 
My grandfather, born before 1911, was 180, even taller than my dad. Unlike you where you are much taller than your grandfather, I’m only just as tall.

It goes both ways. Plenty of fugly dudes with hot wives/girlfriends too.
hmmm a bit unfair because those “hot wives and girlfriends” don’t look so hot without all that makeup
Maybe in a place with an extreme shortage of females, but go to places where there are more females than males and dating can be pretty harsh for women too.
Taiwan actually has more women than men. Still hard for men because women seem fine to be without mates.
Sure, if you’re a woman who doesn’t want to date (or is indifferent), it’s fine. But if you’re a woman who wants to date in an environment where there are more single women than single men, the competition for the most attractive men is fiercer.
To put it crudely, a 5 might get the 8 treatment when females are scarce, but a 5 isn’t getting the 8 treatment when there are lots of single 6, 7, 8s.
Of course, you could suggest that everyone have realistic standards based on their objective attractiveness, but that’s not the way humans work.
Dating in New York as an asian guy is easy because of the women/male ratio. It’s hard mode on the west coast where there’s way too many guys. Most women will tell you the dating life in NY sucks, because of the male/women ratio. It’s mostly a numbers game in the end.
I think western girls tend to be “bigger” (height, slimness etc) and women instinctively want to date bigger guys to give them that protective feeling. Since asian guys are smaller in general, it leads to less matches. As an Asian guy I don’t feel attracted to most body types of western girls, so that rules out a lot of potential matches for me, and vice versa.
I have a problem with the whole idea of “objective attractiveness,” especially as it applies in Taiwan. Women that locals rate as highly attractive, I usually find abhorrent. Conversely, the women I find attractive usually get much less interest from local men. It would be an understatement to say that I’ve enjoyed this discrepancy over the years.
Don’t disagree. This dynamic exists throughout Asia. For instance, many foreign men like/prefer women with darker skin, but locals don’t.
When I refer to “objective attractiveness”, I’m referring to attractiveness as judged by the community. If you ask 100 people in a particular location to rate a person’s attractiveness, chances are the ratings will converge in a narrow range.
Of course there are always arbitrage opportunities, especially if you’re a foreigner, as it’s more likely you’ll value something the locals don’t and some % of the locals will value something you bring to the table that other locals don’t.
yup surely you can date any girl you want with that face.
yeah im phat but i cant handle phat women. I like to drive small cars and small ladies 
some small guys like to drive cadillacs and drive big girls.
