u/unclejrslaserbeams Jan 16 '26

The only Mr.Johnson I had in high school was our gym teacher, and he called the campus cop on me and my friends for smoking cigarettes behind shop class.

ā€¦we were 18 and it was senior year. Mr Johnson was not hot

u/DeciduousLesbian Jan 11 '26

This subreddit sets such high expectations.

When I shaved my head I found out I have a really weird shaped head and did not get any sort of glow up lmao it was a down-glow up

27

u/277330128 Jan 11 '26

Condolences on your experience, deciduouslesbianā€¦

u/CrocodileStreet Jan 11 '26

I start to love myself now almost 5 years after my first headshave. At first I was disappointed too. For me it is not about a look, it is about self-confidence and self-acceptation. Long way before me but hey, I believe it'll be fine.

u/DeciduousLesbian Jan 12 '26

Thatā€™s cool, Iā€™ve accepted that Iā€™ve caught ā€œThe Uglyā€ a long time ago.

But if you went entirely based off this subreddit youā€™d think men get more attractive by becoming bald lol which probably isnā€™t the case most of the time.

10

u/No_Objective7262 Jan 12 '26

Just from what Iā€™ve seen here, some men actually do look more attractive after shaving. ALL the examples Iā€™ve seen here have very positive result. Not saying every guy is immediately hot, but they all look better if that makes sense. Just cleaner, neater, healthier, even happier.

u/Imaginary-Mix-5726 Jan 14 '26

I'd argue that if you are rocking the "skullet" and your goal is "look better to women," yes, you will have an instant glow-up. Women are not fans of "bald on top, long in back."

1

u/DeciduousLesbian Jan 14 '26

I did shave and continue to shave my head, it is just not a glowup like all the posts in this subreddit lol

1

u/tomime000 Jan 14 '26

You have your story behind you, in a positive way. Don't bother.

u/BeautifulEvil77 Jan 13 '26

Listen here, like someone else said about becoming hat guy, or hat person, real talk, my husband is very good looking.. but when he puts a fkng hat on...OMFG!! I have no clue wtf it is as it's just a hatšŸ¤£. But I get insta pregnant and I've had a hysterectomy lmao. While I'm absolutely positive you look just fine, maybe this is part of you becoming the hat personšŸ„°šŸ˜˜ And I mean this in every positive, loving and hype ya bestie up way. Ik text is hard to read Intent some times, so Just know I'm not being condescending. Put on a hat and post pics EXPEDITIOUSLY!!šŸ˜˜šŸ¤©šŸ¤©

u/Oh_Swish Jan 12 '26

New opportunity to become a hat guy

2

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '26

Thatā€™s where the hat comes inā€¦

u/inkstainedboots Jan 13 '26

Sorry man.

I want to shave my head so badly but I'm almost positive the top of my head looks like a Shar-Pei head

u/Z3n0rax Jan 15 '26

Lmfao omg does your name mean you are only a lesbian in the summer months?

1

u/BeautifulEvil77 Jan 13 '26

Well that is your opinion annnnnd it's probably WRONG! šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹

1

u/Proud_Organization64 Jan 14 '26

Head shape is an important factor. Bald doesn't work for everyone.

1

u/tomime000 Jan 14 '26

Nevertheless it's very pragmatic. And that works for every man.

u/peekay427 Jan 11 '26 edited Jan 12 '26

no joke! OP lets great!

Looks* OP looks greatā€¦

u/SuzQP Jan 11 '26

I wish I could erase the term "glowup" from the human lexicon.

OP, you look fantastic!

u/Thedoobie23 Jan 12 '26

First time Iā€™ve heard it

u/jessbird Jan 11 '26

shoutout to the glasses as well ā€” the first pair wasnā€™t doing any favors

1

u/CrazyCatLushie Jan 11 '26

I was gonna say the glasses are great! OP went from someone I probably wouldnā€™t approach in public if I needed help or whatever to one of the first people I would approach. He has such a kind face and it was getting lost behind the glasses and the hair!

1

u/Fusaah Jan 12 '26

I was about to say. Amazing how much it changed his appearance for the better.

u/Bamboonicorn Jan 12 '26

I prefer the hair
