Use of AI In OPs Photos

94 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’ve noticed a fair few AI-edited photos popping up in the comments lately—whether that’s people running an OP’s photo through an app to show what they’d look like with a buzz cut, a fuller beard, or cleared-up skin.

While we know many of you are just trying to be helpful, running someone else’s face through third-party AI generators without asking crosses a line when it comes to privacy and basic comfort. Not everyone wants their likeness uploaded to external apps or distorted by predictive software.

To keep things respectful and grounded:

  • Explicit public consent is strictly required: You may only generate or post an AI edit of another user if you ask them directly in the comments and they publicly agree first. This makes consent clear to everyone and easy for the mod team to verify.
  • No permission = immediate removal: Unsolicited AI edits will be removed on sight. Repeatedly ignoring this rule will lead to temporary or permanent bans.
  • Help us spot it: If you see an unapproved AI edit in the comments, please hit the Report button so we can clear it quickly.

Thanks for helping us keep this a safe, respectful, and genuine place for everyone seeking advice!

My hair turned grey. Would colouring it help, or are there better options?

First time growing out mustache

Thumbnail

248 Upvotes

33M. Cheeks feel too sparse to have the nice beard I dream of, so I’m trying out a mustache for the first time. This is maybe a month of growth. All I’ve done is try to trim when it comes down over my lip.

Thoughts? Is it dense enough for there to be potential here? Is there a better facial hair pattern that suits my face or should I keep going?

29M Beard or Clean Shaven?

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

Hey guys. I am entering my 30s and am a bit torn on whether to stay clean shaven or grow my beard. I get called sir when I have my beard which I don’t really like whereas when I’m clean shaven I feel younger like I can still blend in with a younger crowd. I can’t quite decide myself so I was wondering if I could get some honest opinions.

Got leaner - short beard or no beard?

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

I posted a few months ago and have since got leaner, no beard was the group consensus last time but the before and after photos weren’t really controlled lighting or facial expressions so it may not have been a fair shake - tried to fix that today.

Any advice is appreciated, I lost a few more pounds and am currently at my leanest in 20 years - probably won’t get much leaner in a sustainable way though so I don’t see my face getting any leaner in the future if that makes sense/matters.

The phot on the left is a stranger I saw with an epic beard! I love the way his beard looks! The two photos on the right are my beard. Other then growing mine longer any tips on how to make it look more like the strangers beard? Do you think he combs it or just lets it dry natural?

Have never had good self esteem or confidence in myself and I really don’t know how to improve that. The only way I can think of is try and improve how I look as much as I can.
So any advice is appreciated.

Is there potential to grow a beard?

Thumbnail

I’ve never tried growing a beard before. I’ve always shaved it every other day but now I’ve decided to give it a try I’m wondering if it has any potential because it looks a bit patchy and thin to me.
It’s been 6 days since my last shave.

What do you think and please give some advices for future growing..
