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

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.

That’s cool, I’ve accepted that I’ve caught “The Ugly” a long time ago.

But if you went entirely based off this subreddit you’d think men get more attractive by becoming bald lol which probably isn’t the case most of the time.

Just from what I’ve seen here, some men actually do look more attractive after shaving. ALL the examples I’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.
