The neckbeard pejorative comes from the trend where young men who are not just nerdy, but obnoxiously so, and who happen to also be overweight, are frequently seen growing a thin, scruffy beards only on their necks for the purpose of making their neck fat less obvious. It's a common enough correlation that a scruffy neck-only beard has become synonymous with being obnoxious. http://m.imgur.com/9xHMHMX?r http://m.imgur.com/9xHMHMX?r

Also because they tend to have low testosterone, so the beard itself won't grow any higher than the jawline. With time it improves - I had a similar beard in my 20s but now in my 40s it's all the way up.
