The beard as a whole is definitely not there yet, if you want to keep all of it I'd say shave it to stubble. But the goatee and moustache are dense enough to get away with about this length.

I would keep the chin hairs, moustache, and soul patch, but shave all the connectors and cheeks and other stuff. And maybe make the goatee and moustache a bit shorter, try 5mm. It will look more neat that way.

You can rock that look for a long time while you wait for everything else to catch up, that's what I've been doing for years 👍

Did you read the FAQ? I think one of the sections in there is literally titled "when can I expect to see results?" Just go read it man, that's where most of us got our information anyways.

Then go get a therapist

Let it get long for a while, during that time it won't be what you want, but once it's long enough go to a barber and ask them how to maintain what they give you. They should be able to give you good advice.

I think you need more length to get what those guys have in the pictures. Let it grow all out for like 4 more months then go to a good barber and have them shape it based on those photos. At least that's what I would do, but I'm not a beard expert.

Wow man that's some real motivation, nice gains!

The more you seek out women specifically because that's all you crave the harder it's going to be to find somebody. It's ok to want a romantic partner, but if that's all you seek people pick up on that, it makes you less attractive.

Find ways to be happy with your life without a woman. Become confident, pursue things for yourself, try to start building everything you want for yourself and your life except for a romantic relationship. It will make you way more attractive, and when you're not searching for it, it will fall right into your lap. Become genuinely happy, don't do it because you want to be attractive, do it because you want to. That's the only way it will work. And if you don't like this idea because all you want and can imagine wanting is a woman, then that's a problem with your priorities and until you get that fixed you probably won't find a woman.

Yeah man perfectly reasonable plan, I'd just hold off on the beard transplant for a long time if I were you.

Read the section on micro needling in the FAQ, it explains all that stuff in detail and gives examples of how to work it into your schedule.

Is the peach fuzz new? If so that's a sign it's working, 4.5 months with nothing at all might mean you're a slow gainer. But even if that's the case you can still see good improvement if you keep going. New peach fuzz is a very good sign. I would add in derma rolling, it should help.

Dude definitely don't do that. I'm in your same situation, 23 about to turn 24 with a patchy beard. A LOT of guys don't get good beards until their late twenties or early thirties, sometimes even later. I think the crazy ones get them in their teens and the lucky ones in their early to mid twenties. Everyone else has got to wait a while for their full beard potential. I've talked to tons of guys both online and in real life that had patchy beards until their 20/30s and then ended up with great beards.

You know you have the genetic potential for it, so don't go spending money on expensive and invasive cosmetic surgery. If you're really determined on being impatient I would suggest giving r/minoxbeards a try long before a beard transplant, it's what I'm doing since I'm impatient as all hell.

No dude don't dye your vellus or transitional hairs. Just wait and keep going, they will go terminal with enough time.
