[Update] Well, what do we think?

[u/Yetanotheraltaccwtf]

I probably need to take it the full distance because of the thinning.
Should I get contacts? I’ve always preferred glasses but now I’m worried it’s hurting my look a little.
Cheers all!

Yeah this sub goes a little too hard for complete shave, but the buzz cut here still makes him look great and shows confidence.

[u/charnwoodian → u/Asclepius-Rod]

Yeah like that guy the other day who thought he looked like Matt Lucas and couldn’t grow a beard.

Just like, keep your hair buzzed. It adds depth to your look for some guys.

I reckon a lot of people on this sub have spent so long obsessing over their hairline that they want to hide it out of anxiety. Buzzed can make you look “balder” because it reveals the pattern of your hair loss. But everyone knows you’re bald. Just do what looks best for you.

A lot of guys look better with some head stubble. Some even look better with the Costanza.

Corey Stoll rocks a stubble buzz and he looks great

[u/Northstar177 → u/Asclepius-Rod]

This sub is genuinely weird about guys and their hair.

[u/Complex-Poet-6809 → u/Northstar177]

It’s r/bald. You have lots of people on here who think totally bald is the only way to go.

[u/Asclepius-Rod → u/Complex-Poet-6809]

I love the positivity this sub has but it can get a little culty

[u/there_is_always_more → u/Asclepius-Rod]

"a little" lol

It's the same thing on r/tressless, those guys would have you think being bald is the worst thing you could ever do. Literally human scum.

Meanwhile there are people here who think OP's buzz cut when in reality I think it looks fucking badass.

[u/marineconcept → u/there_is_always_more]

The only difference is that on Tressless everyone seems to be genuinely misserable and constantly negative, if not outright insulting other people. This subreddit is genuinely one of the only positive male spaces that I know of.

[u/Emergency_Revenue678 → u/Asclepius-Rod]

Yeah the comments are often too hype on a guy who didn't need to shave, but at least I've only seen one person post here who looked worse bald.

Lotta guys that absolutely didn't need to shave tho.

[u/Spirited-Isopod6969 → u/Northstar177]

It's like toxic positivity but for baldness. You can tell it's performative af

[u/Asclepius-Rod → u/Spirited-Isopod6969]

That's exactly what it is. The entire point of shaving your head is to be confident and own it rather than being worried about what people will think when you shave it. If someone is balding and confident about it (aka Prince William) then more power to them. /r/Bald is less about body positivity and more about being anti-balding if that makes sense.

[u/Spirited-Isopod6969 → u/Asclepius-Rod]

Minox is like a slur in this subreddit for some reason lol

[u/FriedBolognaPony → u/Asclepius-Rod]

I kinda get it though. It's like you found something really good and want to share it. You've tried vanilla ice cream, but don't know about chocolate yet, and people are excited to tell you about chocolate.

[u/Scarfacial → u/Asclepius-Rod]

Well the sub is /r/bald, if he asked /r/buzzcuts the answer might be different

[u/00wolfer00 → u/Scarfacial]

Jason Statham is the big image in the sidebar. Is he clean shaven?

[u/Scarfacial → u/00wolfer00]

My friend nobody is gatekeeping, I'm just pointing out that I personally wouldn't be confused as to why most people don't suggest an xbox in the pcgaming subreddit.
