Everyone tells you to make the leap, but they don’t warn you:
- That people will start looking at you again in a sexual/attracted way.
- That you will start matching with people on Tinder and receive Likes.
- That your confidence will come back so strong, it might swell too much.
- That you will start paying better attention to the rest of your appearance, like facial hair being groomed, wanting better glasses, new and better fitting clothing.

They don’t warn you that it’s a new life.

You born to be bald, it fits you very well

•

u/slaitesound 2d ago

Most of us are born bald 🤓

•

u/twnpksrnnr 2d ago

You look great and earned the right to all of the above. Enjoy your new you.

A king must rule with confidence. 😤

•

u/Ok_Whereas6739 2d ago

They also don’t warn you that you’ll feel every breeze on your head and that your hair is the same as whiskers… I hit my head more often now lol

•

u/VirtueandFailure 2d ago

Seriously!!!! This was the biggest adjustment. I have head prints on every surface of my house

•

u/HammerDee30 2d ago

Can also vouch for this!

•

u/rosemojito 2d ago

glow up, King👏

•

u/DoubleNickle67 2d ago

Oh my friend.

That’s all we preach.

You are experiencing that beautiful release.

The amazing flow of confidence.

This is an amazing post!

Hopefully help others make this change too!

Bald is alwaysssss better than balding!!

PSA: Please remember to use your sunblock on your head and wear hats. My dad was balding and didn't, developed skin cancers on his head that then scarred badly after they were removed.

And skin cancer so close to your brain is nothing to fool around with.

Edit: spelling

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

It’s good advice. Thanks 😊

•

u/3Gloins_in_afountain 2d ago

Another way to take care of yourself.

•

u/ReferiJerator 2d ago

I thought this was going the be the thread. “How fast top of head will burn while no other part of you even tanned”

•

u/IsJesusAgain 2d ago

You look great homie

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

Thank you, homie

•

u/IsJesusAgain 2d ago

Gotta work in that beard next tho 🫡

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

Trying to figure it out presently. Any advice?

•

u/IsJesusAgain 2d ago

Well I did not beard at aol and started using minoxidil, I highly recommend the topical use

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

So you’re saying my beard looks patchy, or that I need to grow it longer? Or both lol

•

u/IsJesusAgain 2d ago

Both imho

•

u/VirtueandFailure 2d ago

It's a very slippery slope. I took the plunge and found myself stalked in my house by my wife and in public by thirsty women. I wasn't used to being seen as a piece of meat, but, like a gazelle, you just have to remain alert.

Looking smooth, my man. Keep up the good work!

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

Good luck out there, bro 😎

•

u/sylvesterthekat1234 2d ago

I wish more people losing their hair would realise this!

👏 👏 👏

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

I agree. I saw my Instagram today from before I shaved off my terrible hair and I’m legit worried about what else I’ve been failing to do for years!

•

u/Snowed_Up6512 Hair Headed - Woman 2d ago

Love the glasses look on you!

•

u/jeanluuc 2d ago

Let’s go!

u/jazzhandpanda 2d ago

Love hearing about all this week deserved attention!

u/TroyTroyofTroy 2d ago

Those glasses are a smart move. Distracts from the shine haha

•

u/bchagan 2d ago

Swoon

•

u/Uncle_Bug_Music 2d ago

Try it at 60! 🤣

•

u/Catherine_the_Okay 2d ago

You have a Sean Evans mixed with Ralph Fiennes look and it is working!

"They don’t warn you that it’s a new life."

Feels good, don't it? You feel good on the inside and it makes all the difference.

•

u/sanguinelilies14 2d ago

Some things you just have to learn for yourself hotness 🥵

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

Thank you 😊

•

u/sanguinelilies14 2d ago

Oh of course!

•

u/JustinJektor 2d ago

You have a well shaped skull.

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

I appreciate that 🙏

•

u/pawsitivity2026 2d ago

Phenomenal

•

u/ddubspecial 2d ago

NBD, I never had any of that in the first place

•

u/boldbalddaddy 2d ago

Glad you are enjoying your new awesome bald look smooth and shiny.

•

u/baldman583 2d ago

You look great bro but keep the shine going Shave regularly because the stubble in the last pic screams your bald on top. If you keep it shaved clean no one will detect your hairline. Enjoy the glow up.

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

I almost didn’t post the pics with stubble; that’s not how I roll anymore. I touch it up daily!

•

u/baldman583 2d ago

Perfect. You got the grove going.

•

u/Shaking-a-tlfthr 2d ago

Of course! He's a damn good looking guy!

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

•

u/Fickle-Drag-3351 2d ago

I thought he would mention the sunburst issue If you dont use a proper UV protection

•

u/RadScience 2d ago

You look very confident and that’s a great trait

•

u/CyberGommeux 2d ago

You are handsome. Would it be abusive to ask for a « before » picture for comparison ?

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 1d ago

•

u/CyberGommeux 1d ago

What a good choice you did !

u/WowIJustDontKnow 1d ago

Oh no! How will you cope 😉

•

u/Basic-Bottle-7310 1d ago

There were two distinct points when my “game” dramatically increased. First, when I shaved my head. Second, when I grew a beard.

•

u/VoiceOfGosh 1d ago

So true! I got all my confidence back and then some after!

•

u/majin_melmo 2d ago

Dude, that’s enough, there are single women on this sub and there’s gonna be fights to the death over you… 🔥

•

u/2b_compliant 2d ago

This is not LinkedIn my guy

•

u/Junior246 2d ago

I don't even want to see this sexy man with hair. It would ruin the perfect image I am seeing here. 😍😍

•

u/Gimetulkathmir 2d ago

Step One - be attractive

u/HauntingHarmonie 2d ago

The amount of times I've wanted to send this sub to my dates... 🤣😅

Instead, I stay here, upvote, and watch y'all glow up 🌟❤️

•

u/Dense-Consequence-70 2d ago

They also don’t tell you how much you’ll bleed if you bump your head even slightly.

•

u/_dystop 1d ago

You are right and it is so hard to convey this to balding men -- it's hard for them to believe it even for a second.

•

u/Blutosky 2d ago

Just like women who get breast implants, trying to fake yourself out is false vanity. You look good brother.

•

u/WowIJustDontKnow 2d ago

💯 and thank you
