I hate male pattern baldness because my hemispheres aren't symmetrical.
We are not the same.
👴👍
I want my hair back. I had a magnificent head of hair. This is bullshit.
Right! At some point in my 30s barbers stopped commenting on how thick my hair was. If I knew then...
wait, how old were you when you could see balding occurring? i thought that happened before 30s?
Before 30's you ignored the signs.
Late 30s is when I noticed, others may have noticed before then.
I also noticed in my mid-thirties or so
Time to shave
5 years ago.
My youngest said "gee Dad, I can see your scalp just like Papa."
I shaved that day.
Oh man, I had something similar a few years ago. I was bent over tying my shoes, and my oldest goes, "Wow, you have PopPop hair!" Acceptance and emotional recovery took a few
😂
Sometimes the honesty of children is really sweet. Sometimes they should shut the fuck up 🤣
If only, if only, the woodpecker cries... would you kids just stop talking for like 5 minutes?!
🤣
big oof haha
Personally I hate the efforts to to that
I know people who feel the same. For me it's like a little spa treatment. Pre-shave oil, lather, the shave is like a little massage, then wet down and cleanser after. It's so nice!
And now that I've had years of practice I can do it in about 5 minutes from start to finish and I do it ~3 times a week give or take.
You're not going bald, your hairline just reached nirvana.
😂😂😂
Eventually, you will shave it off, it's better to do it sooner than later. Whatever you do, don't grow it long.
OMG my uncle Johnny was a Chad! Kind of blowing my mind right now.
5 years ago was the day. But when I don't shave for a few days it bothers the hell out of me.
OTOH:
Had a coworker with the Monk's Fringe. Got him to go full bald, he immediately looked 10 years younger.
I say to you sir, who wouldn't want to look exactly like Ben Franklin
It's ok, your body is making space for what I call the solar panel.
wave form baldness
Still better than Friedrich Merz (that german chancellor with the bush on his upper forehead). ;)
In the end it is the inevitable process of aging that everyone has to endure who didn't die young. Wrinkly skin, grey hair, shrinking muscles, back pain, fading eye sight, balding,... Some things can be changed to a degree. And for the things you cannot change: Mourning is a process and acceptance is the goal or something like that.
The hair Island! I'm familiar. My Dad rocked one most of my life.
I would be annoyed by that too. Mine has thinned in a relatively symmetrical way that lets me have my skullet. I'm happy with that, though I would still prefer to have my full head of hair back for sensory and sun reasons.
I knew I was going to bald out way before I did because I heard about the genetics of it when I was a kid still. So that left me with time to grieve and accept the fact before it started.
I would maybe just keep it close trimmed, but I really love the feel of it across my shoulders still, so I keep it full length for that.
Does it help with the bird eggs?
Lmmfao! That's the first time anyone has brought that up!
And yes, yes it does.
If you're bored, a mini story.
I have used that pic for a while now. The whole "beard bird" joke and captain caveman's beard pterodactyl have always made me giggle.
But, not too long after I set that image, I got chickens. One of them was teeny tiny and not old enough to go outside much since it was full on winter. She loved my beard. She'd get into it and snuggle in, then make cute little pewpew noises until she fell asleep.
While she has never laid an egg in my beard, because she grew out of wanting to nap there at all, she did lay other things in it a few times while snoozing. And every now and then, when I'm carrying her places, she decides to stick her head into my beard and rustle it around for some reason. So choosing that pic was oddly prescient since we still call her my beard bird
That's adorable! Wow. Thank you for sharing.
Sorry if women aren’t allowed to comment here but there’s plenty of us, myself included who don’t mind baldness and I actually think a shaved head/completely bald is super sexy
You haven't seen my shaved head.
I buzzed it during a deployment and I made Billy Corgen look sexy. :/
Let me add that there's also plenty of us that don't mind male pattern baldness and don't find it necessary for the men to shave. The partial baldness looks just ok, no need to feel bad about it!
Shaving you head is liberating you from the shaklehold of big barbershop.
Agreed on completely bald. I always idolized men like that in my youth. Now I'm a cool kid!
And yes, you're welcome here!
I'm a bi guy who likes bald men. The bald guy from the X-Files could ruin me any day.
I started going bald at like 23 so I just started shaving it. Jah knew that if I had great hair into middle age I'd be too powerful.
🤣
Istanbul is beautiful this time of year
And here i am cutting off 14" of hair because im tired of the maintenance (>=E)
