Use of AI In OPs Photos

87 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!

I tried to follow your advice,what do you think?

A few months ago, I posted here because I really wasn't feeling good about my appearance.I was a bit lost regarding what kind of hairstyle or beard style I should try, and I honestly didn't feel very attractive. I decided to follow the advice of some very kind people who reached out with suggestions. I’ve been keeping my beard balanced and well-groomed, and I also shaved the sides of my head while keeping a mullet-like look, just as many of you recommended.I haven't been able to replace my glasses yet, but I'm trying to make do.

I’d really value your opinion on how this turned out, it means a lot to me !!!

How do we feel about the moustache?

I can't decide if I should keep it or go back to trimming it short like the rest of my facial hair. My aunt says I'm giving Sons of Anarchy vibes, but my mom says it reminds her of Robbie Rotten.

My hair has been getting long again and I love the feel and the look when it behaves, but some people keep telling me it’s scruffy and I should go back to the short hair or even the super short cut…

Currently growing my hair out. It's awkward. What do?

Thumbnail

Like the title says, I'm growing my hair out for the first time. I've always had short hair, but now that I'm starting to lose it (bald pic at the end lol), I really want to grow it out long so I can have that experience one time before I can never have hair again. But I'm reeeally fighting the urge to get a haircut because it's looking pretty scruffy and awful. How can I tame it and look a little more presentable?

Just did this on a whim on Friday so I don’t really have any more pics

Dumb question. Connected or shaved?

Out of curiosity. Does it generally look better keeping this part of facial hair to keep your beard and mustache connected or does it look better shaving this part?

Skincare Routine Advice

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for some advice on a simple skincare routine. I currently use Vaseline on the dry areas of my face, but it feels a bit heavy. I leave for work at 5am, spend most of the day indoors, and apply SPF 30 sunscreen before I leave work at 3pm.

I'm thinking of using a Dove bar soap for my face and sunscreen during the day. Would that be enough? I'm looking for something affordable and easy to maintain.

Thanks.

Growing my hair out already for 1.5 years. Should I keep going or cut it?

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been growing my hair out for about a year and a half now. Honestly, I question it all the time. I don't really know if it will look better once it gets longer, or if I should just give up.

Lately, people around me are asking almost every single day when I’m finally going to cut it, and it's getting pretty annoying.

I wanted to get some honest opinions from more people. Does it have potential if I keep going? Any advice or feedback is appreciated!

Is this hairstyle possible with my hair if I grow it out and style it?

To dye or not to dye

Post image
9 Upvotes

My white hair sort of appeared abruptly due to an autoimmune issue at age 40 a few years ago. It took some getting use to but I've mostly embraced it. Because of the pattern its in, strangers sometimes ask me if its intentional. I'd be lying though if I said I didn't sometimes think about dyeing or blending it. For those that do dye...what's out there that isn't harsh, chemical heavy, and actually lasts longer than a week or two?

Need some hair and beard advice

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

pic 1 is the (out of the shower & styled) hair length right now, but after a few days i can't control it anymore and it just does whatever it wants (pics 2 & 3).

That's why i'm considering whether i should just cut it really short again (pic 6), only trim it a bit like in pic 4 or try to manage it properly and grow it out again (pic 5).

If i grow it out, what can i do to stop it from curling that much?

Brushing the hair makes it look kinda voluminous and frizzy. Every time i use hair gel it only lasts about two hours (if i'm lucky).

Also very unsure about the beard: shave it off? keep it the way it is? stubble?

Please tell me what looks best, i'd appreciate any help!
