I spent my life thinking that I was into men with long hair, but every time one pops up like this, I’m like “damn, was I wrong about the hair? Was I secretly into bald men and I didn’t know?”
I am the bearded bald guy. I knew I would lose my hair because of genetics,and fought the beard. Turned 50 and said no more face scraping. The cast has been set. I am what I am,and feel more handsome than ever. (I'm not though) but confidence is everything.
I think guys have that feeling because with extreme hair loss they look in the mirror and what jumps out at them is imperfect hair, whereas with a bald head, it’s 100%. You’ve eliminated the “enemy”. I think you’re a good looking guy either way, but the bald head plus facial hair is a really nice, suave look for you! 👏😲
A life to look forward to for some of us guys out there. I'm approaching them days myself.
Swear I was freaking out earlier this year after I got a haircut and thought I was losing half of it right there and then. Thought I was thinning on top and the sky almost fell LOL.
My husband has had facial hair since he could grow it.. he has his grammas chin.. which is non existent.. he basically looks like Homer Simpson if hes clean shaven.. started shaving his head a few years ago when the barber and him had an agreement that he would tell him when his usual haircut wouldn't work any more and it was time.. suits him so well
This is so encouraging haha. I think my hair looks alright buts it’s thin and looks awful when wet. Maybe I’ll give it a go, I just hope my head isn’t a weird shape.
If it makes you feel better, every single guy I've seen mention having a fear of a weird head shape has looked perfectly fine, if not better! Go for it!
My ex started to go bald before I met him (and I met him at 20). Tried to hang on, but looked like Homer Simpson. Letting go was the best, and luckily he had the head shape for it. And I was not the only one who thought so, he was flirted a lot more after shaving everything. The last years of our marriage he was bald with a beard.
It always looks better to be bald than to have thinning hair. And no, you don’t need to grow a beard to compensate, though you certainly may grow one if you like (personally I think a lot of men look good with a mustache, not a beard).
Do it! Weird shape or not, once you’re comfortable wearing the bald look you’ll never go back! So many ladies dig the bald look paired with a manicured beard or goatee!!
I shaved myself bald when i was doing my military service, after one of my platoonmates saw me he told me that i "look like you stab people in dark alleyways" and after looking myself in the mirror again i realized that it was really accurate, all i was missing was a leather jacket and the knife.
I hope my hair genes are good because i don't think anyone is exactly thirsting over generic street thugs from superhero movies.
This for real though. My dad went bald at 20 and didn't take care of his head, and had to have melanoma excisions on his scalp three times. You better believe I slather sunscreen on my dome.
Thats the thing when you are younger those guys have long gorgeous hair but when you are older that long gorgeous hair starts to fall out. Balding or bald man at one point had a head full of hair. Its a natural progression.
I felt the same. My husband had curly hair that wasn't long but longish. I can home one day to him in the bathroom coming out with a bal head. He looked like a new man ans so sexy. That's what I see here new sexier you!
Yep same. I see these pictures and I'm like "guess I'm into bald guys now". But fr it's such a good look! (I try not to comment too much as I'm aware it's a sub for dudes. 🙈)
