Brief Answer:
your distribution of hair is good

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I can see good amount of hair on your face. Good moustache, fair beard also.
Chest has scanty hair.
If your voice is manly then there is hardly any problem in your masculinity.
Many people bear much less hair on these areas as compared to yours.
Hair distribution does not only follow the father but they also get affected by maternal side.
Some people have constitutional delay when hair continue to appear till early fortees.
You are having normal male pattern hair distribution, do not get disheartened.
Hair hardly make you attractive rather people with dense hair mostly need more efforts to remain odor free.
I hope this answers your query. In case you have any follow up queries or doubts, you can forward them for me, and I shall be glad to help you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries. Wishing you good health.
