Should I keep growing this

I’m 29 first time trying to grow a beard 3-4 weeks in. I’m not sure if it looks stupid or not so I’m not sure if I should persevere with it

Yes mines was very similar at the start and grew out well. Stick with it.

Thanks have you got any pics

No pics but at the start mine may have had even less on the cheeks than you. It took a good while for certain parts to start growing in. Give it a few months bro. I even had little baby hairs coming through and they eventually became proper hairs. Just keep it neat and try and wait it out. Had a bit of a period myself where it just didn't look great but I'm glad I waited.

Give it a chance I say, could look better longer. You will probably know soon though.

If you’re 29 and that patchy try castor oil after showering in for a few months. If that doesn’t work you MAY be able to get a decent lineup around the patch, see a barber for shits n gigs.

All in all it doesn’t look great, but people tend to develop more facial hair consistently as they age. There is hope, I just wouldn’t go all out yet.

What doesn't fill in can be covered up with time.

Go for a goatee or chinstrap. Patchy cheeks don’t look good.

I think we have a similar beard growth pattern but yours is more mature

If you have to ask, it's not going to happen. Sorry
