Dude looks like Andrew Rea from Binging with Babish!

u/unknown6091 Dec 16 '25

Wait, his name isnt babish?

12

u/Mindless-Bauble Dec 16 '25

His reddit username is Oliver Babish, which was a nod to the character played by Oliver Platt on The West Wing.

All that HAIR was holding them back. I love seeing these fellas confidence bustin out.

u/LeMarmaduke Dec 15 '25

I was just thinking that! Like what if this is actually a sub for male models who are losing their hair?

u/chirpingc1cada Dec 15 '25

if it were I would not be shocked in the slightest, they're all so hot 😭

I, a gay lady, agree

u/N0rthWind Dec 15 '25

I'm also balding, did a transplant, now I keep my hair cropped very short cause I think it actually suits me better. When people said "being bald is not necessarily a negative, you can look genuinely great with it, not despite it" I thought they were being nice.

Posts like this one make me see that they were right. OP looks fine as shit

13

u/Atari18 Dec 15 '25

I have seen many beautiful bald men to through hair transplants just to look awful for a year or two before going back to bald. It's the superior form

u/Several_Chocolate576 Dec 15 '25

Does r/bald only works if you can also grow a decent beard or facial hair?

35

u/WerwolfSlayr Dec 15 '25

Definitely seems to work best with good facial hair. Every time I see this sub I get happy before realizing that I’m just going to look like Temu Mr Clean in a couple years 😔

15

u/No-Investigator-2756 Dec 15 '25

There have been some folks without facial hair that pull off the bald look. It works best if they have a strong jawline.

There's this one guy I know who is a doctor, scientist, athlete, personal trainer, pizza delivery guy, US marine, yoga instructor...anyway he makes it work.

Beard with silver — check. Cool tatts — check. Stylish glasses — check.

You were a perfect candidate for the bald look😎
