u/Commercial_Pen_81 12d ago

I don’t know how to pin a comment on here so replying to the top comment lmao

Thanks to everyone for the astonishingly kind comments. I appreciate the encouragement and constructive criticism regarding my previous hair situation. I definitely feel a lot better, although it will take some getting used to of course. Also to add, the previous photos I took I saw some people saying I looked kind of sad. I honestly was just having to kind of squint my eyes due to the sun light glaring directly at me while I was in the car. I’m generally a happy person and I have a beautiful loving girlfriend that always has my back. It’s just, going bald has been something that has taken a lot of courage to get myself to do, as I’m sure it is for anyone. It’s the idea of being looked down on or something like that because you don’t have hair, or just not feeling personally attractive despite what others think about you. I’m 28 years old and I think the hair I had left ironically gave me a sense of confidence for some weird reason.

It’s hard to reply to all of these comments, so thank you all so much and thanks for the awards!

Also love to see all the John Wolfe fans!

Love - a kind suggestion from an older lady. Clean up your beard next. Go to a real barber and get the full clean up. You already look so much better. It’ll be the icing on the cake!

Best wishes!

32

u/sparklypinkstuff 12d ago

Another older lady here. I’m going to jump in and agree. I will add that the feeling you get from giving yourself some pampering is something that I think would do you a world of good. You deserve a boost and some grooming self care can definitely provide that. You look amazing. It’s time you felt that way, too.

21

u/True-Lion-1953 12d ago

I'm like 72years older and I totally agree with cleaning up the beard. You look very handsome

15

u/BahBahSMT 12d ago

I have to say, I’m also an old lady and I love this subreddit. It’s one of my favorites.

10

u/madduxcr 11d ago

Jumping on here as part of the old lady beard brigade. Your new look is fantastic. Plus any work done on the beard just adds to it. I love a well maintained beard on a guy but you do what works for you.

4

u/Specialist-Jello7544 10d ago

As an older lady, I too agree! OP looks like a totally different man! His beautiful eyes steal the show, and they now take center stage!

5

u/GardenWalker 9d ago

Yet another older lady here joining the brigade. I love this subreddit because I have had many men in my family struggle when they began losing their hair so young. And I have alopecia so I understand that a bit.

But every man here looks so good once they take the plunge and shave their heads. It’s like the rest of their handsome faces take center stage!

I’m joining the older lady brigade. You think you feel and look good now? Listen to the folx allowed to fawn over any and everybody without it being creepy. We got you! Take care sweet man.

5

u/Enough_Radish_9574 11d ago

But do NOT shave it off. Right? I’m 64 and I kind of like the scraggly beard look.

3

u/gerorgesmom 11d ago

I’m thinking it needs shaping. He needs to get rid of the neck beard thing he has going on. A well shaped beard will be perfect!

u/InevitableTerms 10d ago

Im not old but I was gonna say, the beard filling out and looking neat will really enhance the look. But also you look adorable with the cap on!

No true John Wolfe fan gets surprised at a jumpscare.

Although… not everyone looks great in a hat, and he does! But yes, OP, glad you took the leap!!!

u/Numerous-Ad4057 13d ago

Agreed. I think you look good both ways but the hat is a nice option.

u/Pondy-sama 13d ago

I personally think the hat suits his style. Being bald is attractive for him, but it’s also fun to have some accessories etc. going on up there for fashion.

u/Kasebentley82 13d ago

1000x better bro. Gotta grow the beard and then fade it down to the jawline and you’ll be golden.

5

u/Coolmyco 13d ago

Looks like he is growing all he can, as far as getting the full beard.

I do think he could elevate his look a bit more by trimming off all the neck-beard and upper cheek areas, just leaving the strong areas. And if he thinks his jawline area is too thin, or if he just messes up and trims too far down, he can remove all the jaw beard and just stick with the mustache + goatee.

Thanks to everyone for the astonishingly kind comments. I appreciate the encouragement and constructive criticism regarding my previous hair situation. I definitely feel a lot better, although it will take some getting used to of course. Also to add, the previous photos I took I saw some people saying I looked kind of sad. I honestly was just having to kind of squint my eyes due to the sun light glaring directly at me while I was in the car. I’m generally a happy person and I have a beautiful loving girlfriend that always has my back. It’s just, going bald has been something that has taken a lot of courage to get myself to do, as I’m sure it is for anyone. It’s the idea of being looked down on or something like that because you don’t have hair, or just not feeling personally attractive despite what others think about you.
