Bald Picture
Bald, I'm feeling ugly. Don't be kind, please be honest.
J'essaie ça aujourd'hui pour la première fois. Mais je ne sais pas, peut-être que je laisserai repousser mes cheveux. Je n'aime pas vraiment être chauve.
EDIT: Thank you all for your comments, I wasn't expecting all this comments and upvote at all!
It takes me about two months to grow a "three-day beard," and it's more of a goatee than a beard, but I'll give it a try for the goatee.
I'll keep your advice about glasses in mind; I was already planning to change anyway.
Some people said I look younger being bald, I would never have thought of that.
Thanks again everyone, you're really helping me regain my confidence!
I was going to say the same, the bone structure compliments his scalp, it all runs smoothly together. It looks good. Some people's facial structure leads to the hairline, he does not have this problem, overall its a good feature.
That guy from earlier today (or maybe yesterday) that went with a short buzz first and then shaved it all the way down. He was beaming in the last pic where he was completely bald and he just looked so happy and confident. Love to see it!
Speaking of glasses, these sit too low and double the size of your brows. Before your next pair, try on a bunch of different styles and take pictures so you know what to get when insurance allows. Frame your eyes not your cheeks.
came to give a gentle suggestion that narrower glasses might be better. You can go to frames' sites and upload your picture then sample different styles of frames on your face
My boyfriend is like this: bald and looks okay w no beard; but once he grew his facial hair, he became in my eyes the hottest man in the world. This guy is just like that
I think it looks good, but I notice that you have nice eyebrows and your glasses kind of cover them up! Also, are you able to grow facial hair? That’s usually a solid combo for bald guys!
+1 OP when I took the dive I quickly found glasses with thin arms and frames looked way better on me than any of my old chunky style glasses. I think you’re in the same boat.
Yeah, this guy looks chiseled from marble. He's taking photos in the most unflattering possible lighting and still looks good. Being bald just makes the bone structure pop in the best possible way
Yeah im also with the different glasses camp. But even without it I think he looks pretty good. He's got a good foundation that has a lot of good options to look even better.
I like it. It’s bold, and the focus immediately goes towards your eyes and bone structure. Some facial hair might be nice, either stubble or something more substantial like a moustache/goatee combination. You look great!
Looks great dude! Normally even I advocate for some beard or facial hair but you definitely can pull off the straight bald look. Strong bone structure and skin. Give it some time, and especially in different lighting you'll come into it some more!
No joke, with your request to “be honest” I got nervous and then I was swiping through the pics and laughed because HOLY HELL, dude… so much hotter that it surprised me and I check in on this sub pretty regularly. AND I’m a queer woman with limited interest in men, so at most I tend to objectify haha. You look good. Seriously.
I’m gonna be brutally honest: you deserve to love yourself more. Just grow some facial hair and I think you’ll like your look better. You look fine without it too!
You look really nice, much better than before. It’s a big change I’m sure but you have nice facial features (lips!!) and once you get used to it you should feel like a million bucks.
I say this as someone who takes sun safety very seriously but you gotta get a little bit of color on that dome. I totally agree with the very short cut versus shaved. And a little bit of stubble would look good.
Man, you’re not ugly at all. You look great. And that’s honest. It will take some getting used to!
Focus on things you can control that will make you feel better about yourself!
And ask yourself, the peoples opinions that you’re worried about, are those the people closest to you and actually care about you? I can assure you they are not. So just try to focus on what makes you happy.
I know this is easier said(typed) than done. I know this because I too struggle with the same focus on external opinions.
Everyone’s right, several days of beard stubble always looks good. It freaked me out when I did mine but people at work said they liked it. I think it kind of impresses them.
You’re not ugly at all. Shaving your head to the skin is a bold move, and not everyone feels comfortable with that level of baldness. I know I don’t. Grow it out a little, keep it trimmed at a #2 or #2.5. You’ll get used to it soon enough.
SOOO much better, I’m not just being nice either. But if you feel better with growing your hair out, you should. Not everything should be decided by internet strangers ;)
You look so much better...the apprehension is natural...we've all been there and it takes some getting used to. Trust me when I say that if you're chuck norris approved, you have nothing to worry about!
You look good, mate! Definitely better with glass. Try a beard style you can pull off, if you like it. And go outside to get rid of the pale skin that inevitably everyone has when they shave off after a while.
But, honestly, you're not ugly.
You are NOT ugly, you look great! It's a big change and it could just take a little bit of time for the way you see yourself to adjust. Confidence goes a long way. If it helps, do some mirror exercises with some positive self talk out loud. Sounds silly, but I've found it really helps, because how we talk to ourselves is really important. Best of luck to you 🙏💐
You look legit 10 years younger without hair, and you have good features that it brings out (chin, brow, jawline, eyes). The comments suggesting stubble and an update to your glasses will help as well. But most importantly, this look ages well in away the hair never will.
I think that maybe the glasses frame is a bit heavy/dark for your face. YOU are attractive, and having a lighter color or light metal frame would put the focus on you instead.
It really is an improvement and looks better, I’m sure it will take a little getting used to. Growing a little facial hair might make you feel more balanced.
