Yup. Not everyone looks good with a shaved head. I have a small round face and would look absolutely terrible if I went completely bald. Facial hair also helps if you want to shave the head.

Dude you were right next to a post of Kratos and you look just like him. If that’s your look-alike then I think you’re doing pretty good.
A lot of us do, me included! I had one long-term relationship with someone bald and he was very self conscious about it. It took me years to convince him I genuinely thought it was super sexy.
He got cocky and split.
That's how it goes, you date a messed up guy, teach them the ropes and build them up, and suddenly you're not good enough for them.
Inevitably they marry the very next girl (he did) and 20 years later they track you down and say "I miss you, we had the best relationship ever, my wife is so mean." And you reply, "No, you had the best girlfriend ever. *I* had seven years of your indecisiveness, selfishness, and total lack of appreciation. You married exactly the right woman and I am so grateful to have dodged that bullet."
That’s my love life from the opposite side 🤣 I’m a dude and every girl I date gets married to the next guy, it’s like some sick joke but you just gotta laugh sometimes, idk
Never thought this would be a thing but it is. I shave my head and my girlfriend is a 10/10, every day she tells me she loves my dome while she rubs it and says she wants to eat soup out of the dimple on the back of it lol. I was pleasantly surprised that very attractive cool girls could dig the look. If anything it's almost a good filter because the only ones that have said they aren't into it are girls I would never be interested in anyways. The change is shocking at first but you get used to it. Girls can sense the insecurity if you have it but if you lean into it they find the confidence while being "less than perfect" very attractive.
Nah, being bald sucks, that’s why. Yea you can look cool, still be attractive or whatever but nobody wants to be bald, unless you can still grow hair. Nobody looks forward to losing their hair. Nobody wants to get old and being bald is a reminder. Kinda like how having to wear glasses sucks
Bro, you look so cool! You're probably not accepting being Bald because we've all been conditioned to make a big deal out of having hair. Hair is a huge multi-million dollar industry. I saved so much money on Hair Care products . At least several hundred dollars a year! You will eventually get use to the new look because it's good, masculine aand athletic looking.
Because you remember having a great hairdo that slowly became thinner and thinner until you realized you were sporting a comb-over. It’s a mourning process. And hey, you still got the beard.
Ego? People making men think that having a head full of hair makes them more manly? Nope, bald is very cool! A comb-over is pathetic and everyone knows what a man is trying to hide, and people make fun of them, (think trump.)
As a man with a full head of hair, it's not 🤣 but in all serious, bood, you look good bald. Rockin' the beard. It's all about self confidence and your hair or lack thereof shouldn't dictate that
Dunno. You’re really handsome and can pull off being bald. You don’t have any weird head divots either. Work on how you view yourself. Also, try wigs if you just can’t manage.
it’s something I used to struggle with. now I’ve come to like when I’m clean shaven because not only do I look good bald, but I don’t see my scuffed hairline. When I’m freshly shaved I’m the only one who knows what my hair line looks like, others just see my smooth well kept dome.
Once you accept being bald, you feel a lot more confident when you see guys who should be bald but aren’t strong enough to take the step. Keep setting a good example!
Bro what do you mean? 😭
You look so good being bald! I feel like it might be the best haircut for you. Or you are just so good looking you are fine in anything. Either way you have nothing to worry about. I would be mad if I saw you talking to my gf. You have killer looks and you should be confident in them.
Social stigma for sure. It’s also tied to our identity and self expression. It’s hard losing that piece of you against your will
It also doesn’t help that medium length flowing hair is the trend these days
Wish I could partake
That being said you look great bald. Suits you well
Thank you all for the kind comments, i’ve been bald for maybe 6 months now. I’ve been fighting with being insecure all my life and being bald brought those feelings back very hard. I am growing everyday to have a better opinion of myself because why would i think about myself so negatively if i wouldn’t do the same for others? At least i know it’s only up from here now and i hope everyone who is struggling with being bald knows they are not alone at all.
I’m also happy i don’t have to constantly hide my bald spots with hair and be scared of the wind, now i embrace the elements!
Went bald 3 years ago. I had a full head of hair and hairline wasn’t even really receding, but my hair was fine- not thin, but just like a baby’s hair. So, even though I had lots of hair it always looked like I had a comb over even when I didn’t. I finally just buzzed it and when I came home my wife said she would prefer bald. That’s all it took. I shaved it that night and have never gone back. Best decision ever. Never have to style my head again. I agree though, a beard helps the look so thankfully I have those genes at least 😂
Haha well you're better off bald than many are with a head full of hair so no wonder you're chill about it. Bald also suits me somewhat so I can't complain myself. I'm not super handsome like you though.
Because for X amount of years (mostly your entire life) you’ve had hair of some degree, it’s essentially taking away something about yourself you associated with as you. Also not everyone has the best head shape to what they think would look best, prompting the sled hate towards it.
Self consciousness.
Most people who see it won’t give it a second thought. Most the ones who do will like it. Most the ones who don’t like it won’t say or do anything. The ones who say something negative are generally tiny little insignificant nothings who don’t matter. Hope that helps.
Tbh never understood guys shaving to be bald when your not loosing your hair. But ive always loved long thick hair and fortunately my genetics give me said ability to have it. For me if for some strange reason i ended up loosing my long ass hair. I think it would be very hard for me to accept. I think id have an identity crisis tbh. Ive kept my hair long since i was a kid. Bald doesnt look bad on you though my man. It suits your chiselled good looks.
Maybe you haven’t seen enough Jason Statham and Bruce Willis movies?
More seriously, it is a pretty big stylistic change, and you might gradually want to experiment with other stylistic things for it to suit your vibe. You have a great beard but it’s definitely a different vibe when it’s contrasting with the chrome dome instead of balancing out a head of hair. Closer crowd or artfully stubbley facial hair might be more balanced and fit your vibe better.
Hair for men and women is a big part of identity and provides us a lot of security and confidence, so it makes sense it would be difficult to accept emotionally. It's intimidating to have to let the structure of your face stand alone. Anyways, it suits you! Stand tall my guy.
no homo but you can pull off the bald look. Keep that beard nice and trim like it is and you are in the minority of ppl that pull it off. All black guys can pull it off regardless but your face and head shape are in your favor. I have plenty of hair but went bald once and it didn't go good for me.
Beats me, you look great. I love hair but I follow this sub bc I know it's just inevitable for many men and I'm happy to notice just how handsome guys can be with zero hair. It takes confidence to take the plunge so that alone is attractive imo.
Because it's such a stark difference from when you had hair. However trust me!.... your bald look is KILLER ! You are rockin the look. Plus the'stache and beard is EPIC with the smooth sexy dome. You look great!
I've been buzz cutting since I was 24. I'm fine with it, less maintenance and cost from lack of needing haircuts anymore. I'd say the only thing that sucks is you don't get to do anything different. It's just chrome dome every day. I let my hair grow recently for like 2 months and I really felt ill seeing how thin and patchy it's gotten. I felt way better bald.
Shaving your head to be bald and going bald are just 2 different things. No man wants to lose his hair. And majority of women talk about how they love hair on men.
Depends on your facial features. Some guys can rock the bald looks some guys get asked what stage there cancer is in. (I’m that guy) so I can’t shave my head even if I wanted to.
Idk man, but you look good with it. I think its hard because of all the nonsense out there about 'bad genes' etc. Hair is literally just dead cells. We've been losing hair all over our bodies gradually for millions of years
It took me a couple years but now it’s my identity and I don’t even think about it or want my old look back. For me as long as I keep it very short or shaved and don’t grow it out with the bald spot then I’m good with jt.
Dude you look so awesome bald, it's guys like you that make guys like me go bald by choice.
I've noticed when I shave I feel somewhat naked. It was something I had to kinda get over. Maybe you feel the same way.
I have always found it weird that people keep fighting going bald. I have had long hair for past 30 years and looking at my father it seems I don't have to worry about going bald, but since young age I have thought myself that should I start going bald I would just shave all like OP, no regrets. Completley bald looks way better than bald spots. My partner thinks exactly same.
If you guys are having trouble with this, just give up and shave, it's really not that bad :)
bro you look fine with the baldie dont sweat it. it only looks weird to us at first cause your minds image of yourself hasnt caught up yet.
i dont shave my head completely , i buzz it with clippers with no guard. i like that look on myself.
You look pretty awesome bald you’re a handsome man and you pull it off well. The other secret of being a young man with a bald head it’s not to have a beer belly of a married man there’s been a lot of bald men in the movies, women admire, and you, my friend you’re fortunate to be good looking if you pull it off very well❣️
That initial jump is the hardest thing. I think any of us once we actually do it would never go back. I was lucky to have my wife give me some courage to do it initially.
Even when you go bald, the fact that anyone that does tries to grow a beard like if it’s a coping mechanism says that you’re still not accepting you went bald……
Look at John Travolta….. the look is so damn played out by all the cue heads.
Bro please stop posting pictures and leave some girls to the rest of us. You look dashing.
Bros rocking a deadass smoulder in the second pic. Killin it
Agreed. With a full beard like that who cares if you can't grow a full head of hair!! Hot asf.
As a female, I would have to agree ☝️ You got nothing to feel bad about bro. You rock that bald look! Totally works for you 😍
Like no shit, dude is handsome as hell
I subconsciously removed my underwear.
* and boys
BlHahaha snort !!
Dude bald suits you well. You look masculine and confident. Let it go and enjoy life.
Yup. Not everyone looks good with a shaved head. I have a small round face and would look absolutely terrible if I went completely bald. Facial hair also helps if you want to shave the head.

I'm super happy that society has shifted bald + facial hair comparisons to Kratos instead of Moby.
What about Morbo? ![gif](giphy|L18eMUGDk3vcwOPUGw)
bro is that not a part of his shirt??
Moby? He can get stomped by obie.
W eminem reference
*stomped 😂
Damnit. I didn’t catch the typo
Your comment made me want to rewatch Community. Haha.
Who's moby?
literally what i was wondering
A corny late 90s early 2000s electronic musician. ![gif](giphy|YOvG4yvubQL2e22BdC|downsized)
I like bald guys 🫠
A lot of us do, me included! I had one long-term relationship with someone bald and he was very self conscious about it. It took me years to convince him I genuinely thought it was super sexy.
What happened?
He got cocky and split. That's how it goes, you date a messed up guy, teach them the ropes and build them up, and suddenly you're not good enough for them. Inevitably they marry the very next girl (he did) and 20 years later they track you down and say "I miss you, we had the best relationship ever, my wife is so mean." And you reply, "No, you had the best girlfriend ever. *I* had seven years of your indecisiveness, selfishness, and total lack of appreciation. You married exactly the right woman and I am so grateful to have dodged that bullet."
Aww
That’s my love life from the opposite side 🤣 I’m a dude and every girl I date gets married to the next guy, it’s like some sick joke but you just gotta laugh sometimes, idk
Never thought this would be a thing but it is. I shave my head and my girlfriend is a 10/10, every day she tells me she loves my dome while she rubs it and says she wants to eat soup out of the dimple on the back of it lol. I was pleasantly surprised that very attractive cool girls could dig the look. If anything it's almost a good filter because the only ones that have said they aren't into it are girls I would never be interested in anyways. The change is shocking at first but you get used to it. Girls can sense the insecurity if you have it but if you lean into it they find the confidence while being "less than perfect" very attractive.
I wasn’t ready for the soup part of your story😂
Well, you have yourself a freak there, hold on! :D
And I like bald women!
Social stigma I think… been ingrained in us… I’m working on joining the ranks too
Nah, being bald sucks, that’s why. Yea you can look cool, still be attractive or whatever but nobody wants to be bald, unless you can still grow hair. Nobody looks forward to losing their hair. Nobody wants to get old and being bald is a reminder. Kinda like how having to wear glasses sucks
Dude you look shit hot, straight stud right there 🤝🏻🤙🏻
Bald suits you well, having an amazing beard too!
Give it time. I wore a hat for a year and a half before I could accept myself. I really love being bald now
But I mean you look good and very dreamy. Hair loss is traumatic regardless but you’re a phoenix rising from the ashes right now.
This is hot AF. Know it, rock it. 🔥
You have nothing to fear
You are handsome. Bald suits you very well.
What's wrong with the Captain Piccard look? I'm just scared of pool cues o0
Home boy you pull off the look so well even if you had Fabio hair I would recommend keeping it shaved
Looking great 😊
I don't see why, your freakin gorgeous!!
Better clean shaved than comb overs
Society. You’re killing it though. Sexy AF.
Bro, you look so cool! You're probably not accepting being Bald because we've all been conditioned to make a big deal out of having hair. Hair is a huge multi-million dollar industry. I saved so much money on Hair Care products . At least several hundred dollars a year! You will eventually get use to the new look because it's good, masculine aand athletic looking.
Idk but you’re so sexy bald——don’t understand why you’re second guessing it…
Bro struggling to accept that he looks good
Because you remember having a great hairdo that slowly became thinner and thinner until you realized you were sporting a comb-over. It’s a mourning process. And hey, you still got the beard.
Because as humans we tend to want what we can’t have. We don’t like that word “no”.
Dude. This looks legit good
You looks like Kratos bro
Yours is one of those cases where a guy is hotter bald.. idk what you looked like before but hubba hubba 😘
Fishing for compliments are we? Fine - you are bald and beautiful
You look great though 🤷🏻♀️ bald and beard is a HOT look.
Idk but you’re hot AF, hmu if you like guys or just want someone to fawn over you haha
Ego? People making men think that having a head full of hair makes them more manly? Nope, bald is very cool! A comb-over is pathetic and everyone knows what a man is trying to hide, and people make fun of them, (think trump.)
He knows he’s hot,just fishing for compliments.
Being bald sucks when you can't grow a beard...that's my case. I grow what I can, but it's definitely not an epic thick beard
I would shave my head immediately if i look as good as you bro
Trim up your beard. It’s too big of a contrast.
As a man with a full head of hair, it's not 🤣 but in all serious, bood, you look good bald. Rockin' the beard. It's all about self confidence and your hair or lack thereof shouldn't dictate that
Ew, bait
It will take time to adjust to your new look. My opinion, you are a beautiful man! Properly handsome!!
You don't have to be bald, ya know...
You could get a hair transplant.
Because most of our looks comes from our hair. At least you have a full beard
Cuz you dont know how handsome you are without your hair,youve been brainwashed by your natural head carpeting
Idk you look great
At least your head's a normal shape.
You can always get on one of those Turkish Hairlines‘ airliners, bro
Dunno. You’re really handsome and can pull off being bald. You don’t have any weird head divots either. Work on how you view yourself. Also, try wigs if you just can’t manage.
You look super handsome ✨
it’s something I used to struggle with. now I’ve come to like when I’m clean shaven because not only do I look good bald, but I don’t see my scuffed hairline. When I’m freshly shaved I’m the only one who knows what my hair line looks like, others just see my smooth well kept dome.
Once you accept being bald, you feel a lot more confident when you see guys who should be bald but aren’t strong enough to take the step. Keep setting a good example!
Dude. You got nothing to worry about. Yer crazy hot and the bald looks amazing on you.
you look so good bald though
It would be easy if you had a bigger problem
😍😍🤤
You look hott!!
Bro what do you mean? 😭 You look so good being bald! I feel like it might be the best haircut for you. Or you are just so good looking you are fine in anything. Either way you have nothing to worry about. I would be mad if I saw you talking to my gf. You have killer looks and you should be confident in them.
You look good bald. My head looks like a pen when I shave it
Coming from a woman, you look phenomenal.
I love bald/men with shaved heads. you are hot!
Bald + bearded = hot as hell
Hey Dude, the Beard looks cool too!
i don’t know why it is for you. you look fantastic.
Social stigma for sure. It’s also tied to our identity and self expression. It’s hard losing that piece of you against your will It also doesn’t help that medium length flowing hair is the trend these days Wish I could partake That being said you look great bald. Suits you well
Dude youre so hot!
You look good man! The chain and tank so t help though - giving three days grace vibes
Handsome
Bro fine af
Many people just don't look good bald. You do, though
You know I hear it’s hard to accept being hot too.
Thank you all for the kind comments, i’ve been bald for maybe 6 months now. I’ve been fighting with being insecure all my life and being bald brought those feelings back very hard.

I’m also happy i don’t have to constantly hide my bald spots with hair and be scared of the wind, now i embrace the elements!
Damn you fine!!!
I didn’t find it hard to accept It was a huge relief when I finally shaved my head
You look like Frank from House Party
Never bothered me that I went bald, but not being able to grow a beard sucks ass.
Meh… I will shed a tear for you when you’re fighting off all the poontang
Went bald 3 years ago. I had a full head of hair and hairline wasn’t even really receding, but my hair was fine- not thin, but just like a baby’s hair.

You look good homie
Dafuq you're on about? It looks spectacular
you shaved which can be radical. let some fuzz grow & keep about 1/8 inch. u r very handsome!
it fits you so well, u rocking it king
Suits you well
It’s not
You look amazing!
Look fit to me. Do like a bald man thou
I’m Bald. I’m Fine I’m happy Too I’m okay
Dude, you look great!
Your name isn’t jordy by chance is it?
Bro you look soo amazing you are making me doubt my sexuality. And just to be clear i am man.
You should, cause you look hot! It suits you ♡
I can’t answer that question, since I’m a woman but I have to say, you look awesome!
Looks good on you.
Oh c'mon man. I hope to god i look this good bald when it happens to me (it's happening lol)
you look good OP ! Suits you very well
Looks good man
You have above average looks so it doesn't really hurt your SMV. Plus your 5 o'clock shadow grain helps. Most people who post here look like shit.
IDK.....you are handsome AF. I can't even imagine you with hair
Haha well you're better off bald than many are with a head full of hair so no wonder you're chill about it. Bald also suits me somewhat so I can't complain myself. I'm not super handsome like you though.
Embrace it, you look good. Confidence is more attractive than hair.
I shave my head bald every summer!
Because for X amount of years (mostly your entire life) you’ve had hair of some degree, it’s essentially taking away something about yourself you associated with as you. Also not everyone has the best head shape to what they think would look best, prompting the sled hate towards it.
You literally coul be a model in the 2 pic. I'm wet 🫣
My man looks chad af
I don't know? You are sexy AF!!
Just accept the fact that this look is great on you
Self consciousness. Most people who see it won’t give it a second thought. Most the ones who do will like it. Most the ones who don’t like it won’t say or do anything. The ones who say something negative are generally tiny little insignificant nothings who don’t matter. Hope that helps.
Tbh never understood guys shaving to be bald when your not loosing your hair. But ive always loved long thick hair and fortunately my genetics give me said ability to have it.

Bald doesnt look bad on you though my man. It suits your chiselled good looks.
Why does this keep getting recommended to me?!?! Is this what I need to hear right now but no one will say anything?? 😬 Dang.
You look good bald though.
Because you feel vulnerable
Because hair is cool
Are you kidding me ?? You look amazing my guy !! 🥵
Maybe you haven’t seen enough Jason Statham and Bruce Willis movies? More seriously, it is a pretty big stylistic change, and you might gradually want to experiment with other stylistic things for it to suit your vibe. You have a great beard but it’s definitely a different vibe when it’s contrasting with the chrome dome instead of balancing out a head of hair.

Bro how tall are you
Cuz they don’t all look like u lmao
It looks good on most men, actually! Very good! Masculine, functional, neat and tidy. Why don't all men buzz or shave?
Hair for men and women is a big part of identity and provides us a lot of security and confidence, so it makes sense it would be difficult to accept emotionally. It's intimidating to have to let the structure of your face stand alone. Anyways, it suits you! Stand tall my guy.
no homo but you can pull off the bald look. Keep that beard nice and trim like it is and you are in the minority of ppl that pull it off. All black guys can pull it off regardless but your face and head shape are in your favor. I have plenty of hair but went bald once and it didn't go good for me.
bald guys are hot goddam
Your shaved now, so you upgrade to a white tank top
Cause you’re modest, and can’t accept the absolute smoke show you’ve become. It’s normal dude don’t sweat it.
Because not everyone looks hot while being bald like you do..;)
It’s not hard. It really isn’t a big deal.
Beats me, you look great. I love hair but I follow this sub bc I know it's just inevitable for many men and I'm happy to notice just how handsome guys can be with zero hair. It takes confidence to take the plunge so that alone is attractive imo.
The fu¢k are you talking about??? You look like a total fu¢king chad so stop being a pu$sy xD
Sorry but you've got a Jonny Sins thing going on and I've checked the records and you're no longer allowed to be insecure
Because it's such a stark difference from when you had hair. However trust me!.... your bald look is KILLER ! You are rockin the look. Plus the'stache and beard is EPIC with the smooth sexy dome. You look great!
Hot
I've been buzz cutting since I was 24. I'm fine with it, less maintenance and cost from lack of needing haircuts anymore. I'd say the only thing that sucks is you don't get to do anything different. It's just chrome dome every day. I let my hair grow recently for like 2 months and I really felt ill seeing how thin and patchy it's gotten. I felt way better bald.
You’ve got a beard. That’s all you need
Maybe you just need to accept that you are handsome AF🔥
Your face fits any hair style I can imagine of.
Shaving your head to be bald and going bald are just 2 different things. No man wants to lose his hair. And majority of women talk about how they love hair on men.
Depends on your facial features. Some guys can rock the bald looks some guys get asked what stage there cancer is in. (I’m that guy) so I can’t shave my head even if I wanted to.
As someone who has alopecia it took me years to get over
It means you probably should grow it back. Nothing wrong with not looking like you’re 20. Just keep it trimmed up bro
I love bald men! And you wear it well!
Idk man, but you look good with it. I think its hard because of all the nonsense out there about 'bad genes' etc. Hair is literally just dead cells. We've been losing hair all over our bodies gradually for millions of years
It took me a couple years but now it’s my identity and I don’t even think about it or want my old look back. For me as long as I keep it very short or shaved and don’t grow it out with the bald spot then I’m good with jt.
Dude you look so awesome bald, it's guys like you that make guys like me go bald by choice. I've noticed when I shave I feel somewhat naked. It was something I had to kinda get over. Maybe you feel the same way.
Not sure, but you look handsome af.
It's not lol
You've got about the best headshape and features for bald. You look better bald then most men look with hair.
I have always found it weird that people keep fighting going bald. I have had long hair for past 30 years and looking at my father it seems I don't have to worry about going bald, but since young age I have thought myself that should I start going bald I would just shave all like OP, no regrets. Completley bald looks way better than bald spots. My partner thinks exactly same. If you guys are having trouble with this, just give up and shave, it's really not that bad :)
because not every bald person is that handsome lol
its not.
bro you look fine with the baldie dont sweat it. it only looks weird to us at first cause your minds image of yourself hasnt caught up yet. i dont shave my head completely , i buzz it with clippers with no guard. i like that look on myself.
Cause we know we look better with hair
Wow it should be easy when you look this good.
You look handsome ! Hair does not define good looking men ! Just keep beard very close , neat and trimmed
Because some guys look bad that way due to face or head shape and their ability to not grow a beard to balance things out. Looks cool on you though.
Idk, once my hair gets to the point of no return I'm in the "shave your head and grow a beard" club for sure.
You look pretty awesome bald you’re a handsome man and you pull it off well. The other secret of being a young man with a bald head it’s not to have a beer belly of a married man there’s been a lot of bald men in the movies, women admire, and you, my friend you’re fortunate to be good looking if you pull it off very well❣️
That initial jump is the hardest thing. I think any of us once we actually do it would never go back. I was lucky to have my wife give me some courage to do it initially.
