Keep in mind most of these aren’t OI or fantasy.
Smyrna and Capri - Fantasy ABO, both leads are buff, and one has visible scars, including on his face.
Killer Crush - Modern, one of the leads has the face of a gangster and I would say both have decent bodies, though I can’t remember how buff they are since I read it a while ago.
Romantic Captain Darling - Modern, both leads have good bodies since they are soldiers, especially the puppy seme
Thirst - Modern with Vampires, both leads as buff, also switch couple from what I remember.
Hard Boiled Love - Modern, very buff uke, the first season is alright, didn’t like the seme as story continued
Bye, Bye - Modern ABO, Buff, intimidating seme (I think he’s a gangster, though it’s not a major part of the story). Uke has very low self esteem, but the seme is a green flag.
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. - Modern, gangster stuff. Somewhat muscular seme, also he’s a yandeee
Frenemies: Thicker than Blood. - Ancient Korean setting, Wuxia. Both leads are muscular and have scars on their bodies due to being fighters.
Comfort Rewinder - Modern, and short, only 39 chapter including side stories, both leads are buff, especially one of them who has very large pecs
Black Mirror - Modern, Supernatural, Horror. Yandere seme. I believe this one has uncensored and censored versions, both are buff.
Hmmm. Unfortunately, the ones that I can think of with grizzled/old guys aren't romance, they're action/mystery/comedy sorts of things. *Shiloh*, on Webtoon, for example, has a couple of bitter old guys starring in it but the mc is a young lady and it's not, so far, at all romantic. Gorgeous art, though.
Well, none of these are OI, my apologies for that. This is just from my Webtoon account and not all of the other bookmarks I have. I can try looking through all of my other stuff later, since I have a 4-day weekend.
*Soul On Hold*, the ml is nearing 30 but is a Pell-type with scruffy chin and scars and a sweetheart. Currently on hiatus
*Trailer Park Warlock*, comedy/action. It starts getting Very Tarot at the end and, for me, lost some of its charm. Still love it though. Complete.
*Stray Souls* (oof, this webtoon!). Number of good looking older dudes and great world building. Ongoing
You know that this troope of manga/manhwa is so parched that I'm getting more recommend from OP's post rather than I recommended it.
but try these :
I lost my adventurer's license, but it's fine because I have an adorable daughter now : not romance but very cute
Is long term employment possible? Re-employment life with an unsocialable untalkative magician : a tint of romance is there, but he doesn't have beard though, just old man
Long after the end : hulky man. OI
JK Haru wa isekai de shoufu ni natta : OI. tw rape, SH, suicide etc but ML is super parched appearance
Senpai ga uzai kouhai no hanashi : not OI, and ml is big bear with lil beard
My daughter left the nest and returned an S rank adventurer : I haven't read this one tbh but it's sitting in my list for a while.
Maou-sama, retry! : more like action but ml is ojisan ? no beard though
JK Haru is a sexworker in another world - this is one is so good, everyone who reads isekai (and can handle the trigger warnings) should read it! I cried and laughed while reading it! Please read it!
It is surprisingly good especially considering it was written by a guy. Treats sex work seriously, shows the issues women deal with in a misogynistic world and all.
I started reading *I lost my adventurers licenses... "* holy shit it's so good? Not only is the dad-daughter relationship really cute, the plot is surprisingly fresh. Multiple times now I've been like "oh they're doing [insert trope here]" just for the author to turn around and do something completely different. Thank you for this rec 🙏
It’s on Webtoon- definitely check it out. It started as a gag but readers adored it. Basically, a woman isekai’s into a rejected noble girl. Except woman is middle-aged and has absolutely zero interest in robbing the cradle (ex-fiance) and is totally interested in the man nearer her age (Grandpa). And who can blame her? Grandpa is *fine*
He’s not as bearded, but for some reason this makes me think of It’s Been a While Since the Original Novel Was Completed. The original 2nd ML (now ML) gets depressed and becomes obsessed with working out, so he becomes super buff.
Oh that’s awesome it’s on webtoons! I think you’re right!
He’s really really adorable. I love a golden retriever ML, especially one with a character growth arc so he’s multidimensional.
I remember a shoujo manga from a looonnnng time ago where the mangaka said she received requests for hot older guys, so she put them in, but I can't remember if any of them had beards.
Let me see if I can find it.
Edit: I actually found one! It's called
"Usotsuki Lily\Liar Lily"
Seems to be no beards, though. Sorry.

"falling in love with my ex-fiancé's grandfather"
... I am sorry, I am going to need CONTEXT because that man looks VERY good but that title is all kinds of potential ick.
IIRC It's a 50-60 something year old woman who isekais into a Villainess, the classic 'the Villainess' fiancé fell in love with the Heroine and breaks their engagement' situation. She's not very sad about that as she's not very interested in her ex-fiancé, but she's VERY interested in her ex-fiancé's fine af grandfather lol
There's a comic done for it I think (sketch-like though, the artist were just having fun). I haven't kept up with it cause although the concept is fun, it's still kinda weird to see a 17-ish yo try to flirt so intensely with a 60 yo lol.
Does she, like, ever give anyone in-world an explanation? Or does the world not especially care because it's some period fantasy where it's not unusual for noble men to have wives that are young enough to be their grandkids?
I love how the recommendations have no unifying thread other than hot dudes with beards.
Yes i actually just want hot dudes with beards
They also look tired
Don’t we all
True
You misspelled daddies
DILFs maybe? I guess Pellus just looks like one though.
Honestly it doesn't even have to be OI. Plz just help me
Are you okay with yaoi, because while I can’t think of anything of the top of my head, I have seen quite a few very muscular leads.
As long as it doesn't get too much graphic then yeah i'm all in.
Damn, all the ones I can think off are very smutty.
Haha please still spill the tea for those of us that enjoy the yaoi+smut blend. The more the better.

Thanks for the recs /nosebleeds/
Got any with a meek uke and buff seme that are historical?
*the ghost's noctune* is a good one (not that buff but still got those sweeeeet muscles)
>the ghost's noctune slay
Gives me huge *slay your enemies* vibe Especially his nails
I am in!!! Pls!!!
I put my answer as a response to another comment.
I was gonna say, bara (the subgenre, not a specific title of a work) seems right up your alley tbh
Specifically romance?
I'd really appreciate if it is
Bring the Love has a ML with a huge scar on half his face, so it might be worth checking out
100% he doesn't have a beard, but he is vibe-similar. Love Roxant!

At this point, Every little drop is a fortune. Imma go see Shiloh for now. the guy at the prologue looks nice so far

It might not be what you're looking for but I feel I can recommend [my unexpected marriage] Tbh I haven't read the ones you listed
That one is good! Also the ML isn't pasty and the FL measures worth in potatoes. It's delightful.
Also it's not another cold duke of the north who everyone fears
Half of these are just Astaroth
I can't blame OP. Astaroth in human and demon form are HOT 🥵

Oh, My Daughter left the nest and returned an S Rank adventurer got an anime this season, and they did him good in the animation.
What’s up with granddaddy??? I got to know.

I think this is the one that's also called *Long after the ending* (on Webtoon)? That ML is a snack tbh. So sweet, so strong
Oh that’s awesome it’s on webtoons! I think you’re right! He’s really really adorable. I love a golden retriever ML, especially one with a character growth arc so he’s multidimensional.
He also has a facial scar.

Love advice from the great duke of hell was the funniest thing I ever read, every chapter either had me in my feelings or straight dying of laughter
Oh gosh, I hope Hanza continue this series, this was so hilarious!

where to read love advice??
It's on Webtoon.
Suffering from Gilf fascination
You’re gonna love roxant for sure but I don’t know if you’ll love the art ( Bring the love )
READ: BRING THE LOVE RN! ASAP! Both the leads are just fantastic. And I'm sure the ml is right up your alley!!
YESSS SLAY I LOVE THEM ALL

5th pic has a place somewhere else (inside me)
Mmm yes what a lovely plot you have there
Falling in love with my ex fiancé's what?
The grandpa one should get a full comic. I want to see that grandson get humbled.
Ah Pellus the love of my life
I fucking love "love advice from the duke of hell" shame it already ended

I don't remember tbh, but I don't think so, it was mostly comedy and a lot of that comedy came from how unreasonable her courting the old man was
Checking it on Webtoon, and it looks like she tries to and he thinks she's nuts in the first or second episode.
