"just Shave It Off And Grow A Beard Bro"

[Chromedome1990]

Anyone who says "just shave it bro!" deserves to be impaled with a rusty javelin. There have been ZERO instances of people looking better by shaving their head completely versus letting their Norwood 4+ grow. People who are truly confident & have no self esteem issues would let whatever hair they do have grow, without resorting to getting a Mr. Clean makeover. Growing a beard on top of this is plain silly and is just basically telling the world that you can't grow any hair on your head but you can grow plenty on your face. Even clowns look less silly.

This is scary

More scary than finasteride side effects

Young Larry David theory confirmed:

I agree with you to a certain extent but...this is ridiculous. In a professional environment a cropped power doughnut is infinitely more acceptable/“clean” looking than the grown out horseshoe...

Are you politician or tactician?

You are effectively making his statement to go against him in front of public by posting pic that no one will like.

The point is that if you're truly "owning it" by spending 30-40mins bic'ing your skull 3 times a week, with steaming up your head, then balms, moisturizers, razor nicks, blisters, and treating it, how is that embracing your natural look?

When people say "just shave it and own who you are brehbrah!" they almost always mean slick bald, but that's hardly being yourself when it takes such maintenance to achieve a desired look.

Anyway the point is that all these bic'n'tan pushers pretend they're owning it but in reality are trying damn hard to suit an acceptable look. That does not mean the only other option is a Larry David or William Gompertz, anyone truly "owning it" would simply get a tidy clean hair cut every month like any normal person. Just letting their horseshoe grow a bit until it's a little untidy and then cutting it, simple as.

Instead, to maintain an image they feel society expects of them, the spend their time scalping themselves a dozen times a month to show their confidence in "owning it".

In reality actually "owning it" is just getting a normal haircut to feel like a normal human being. That's actual self esteem and confidence.

They're not embracing their natural look, you're right. I think when people say "own it" they mean fit into "le bald beast" niche to the best of your abilities. Here's some "just own it" advice I found for Prince William:

Look at Prince William — he is bald as the day is long, and refuses to fully own it. He is still trying that baby combover, and people will not stop teasing him about it. If he just shaved that bad boy down and put on a rugby shirt, we could get back to the sex bomb he once was with ease.

I don't know the relevance of the rugby shirt advice...maybe the subtext is to become built like a rugby player as well, completely change his wardrobe or something, I'm unsure.

True.

I think you're right. I had never heard of Gompertz before you post but I admire his jaw:

Instead, to maintain an image they feel society expects of them, the spend their time scalping themselves a dozen times a month to show their confidence in "owning it".

I'm not sure the age of the guy in the OP but I understand his desire to fit the "bald beast" look, especially if he's not responding to treatment or something and he's relatively young.

In reality actually "owning it" is just getting a normal haircut to feel like a normal human being. That's actual self esteem and confidence.

I agree. Don't have much of a point, just riffing off of your post. This is what I consider "owning it" while looking clean and professional:

in b4 "they're ugly"
in b4 "globalist shills"

lol i remember this thread. the guy looks like he'd belong in an online rpg game, as a dwarf warrior or something

But this is the guy now:

When I was younger, NW1, and first saw that music video I posted, even then, I thought, "What a f*****g badass. Who just does that? Holy sh*t."

Top tier no fucks given attitude from this guy.

The long hair with the aggressive balding is way more wild than the shaved head.

Yes cropped... not shaved down to the skin like Mr. Clean. Regarding Larry David, I think the way he looks now is fine. Definitely not as aesthetic as pic related, but way more dignified than the shiny cue ball look.

I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, I'VE MET THE LAST DUDE IN YOUR POST, I SHOOK HIS f*****g HAND BEFORE, BEN BERNANKE. I LIVE IN THE AREA HE GREW UP IN

I don't know exactly what's going on but do most Chad's even care about making fun of others hair loss? I'm sure everyone has an experience or so but overall they're too busy with their wide circle of friends and Stacey's harassing them to care about making fun of some guys hair line (maybe if they're really bored they might).

Life just ain't a 90s high school movie anymore.

Yep. In my experience its other uggos and balding dudes who do it

At most I would say it's the guys on the edge of Chad groups who try to be bullies because they aren't quite top tier socially and need something else to be. The true alpha males are above such pettiness, some of them might even be genuinely nice to social rejects if it came down to it (not that they'd offer to hang out with them lol, but being civil)

What a bunch of motherfuckers. At least you could hate them before for being arrogant bullies, now they aren't even giving people that. In the age of social media impressionability and having your sh*t together, it's no longer cool enough to simply be on the football team, bang Stacey's and pwn at beer pong, in the last decade or so a lot of them are now smart too and intent on being successful.

Agreed, I've rarely seen Chads make fun of a guy's baldness. They're usually too unaware and are high from their Chad-induced perpetual halo effect. Staceys on the other hand... ho boy. I still remember in one of my classes my freshman year of college, I sat behind this Asian guy with gelled, spiked up hair but... with a huge bald spot on his vertex. A pretty big one too, probably 5 inches in diameter. And these Staceys that sat near me would always snicker and laugh about it, one even checked out her reflection in it. People are cruel, man.

A five inch wide bald spot on a college dude?
A bit of poetic licence here, I'm sure.

lol chad types have always been successful as businessmen and blue collar workers. and i dont even know if athletes are really the top tier of social status now, its more balanced kind of guys who are smart and successful and hot but not necessarily physically supreme

you're probably gonna say i'm coping but the smartest guys are always ugly. i visited MIT campus and there was no one above a weak 6/10 lol. everytime i google these academic award group pictures theyre always ugly or mediocre looking. and NO I'M NOT LOOKING DEEPER INTO THIS. THE IDEA OF A SMART AND HOT GUY IS SO f*****g DEPRESSING I WILL f*****g KILL MYSELF IF I FIND TOO MANY EXAMPLES OF IT. LOL

all the guys here who've gone bald in late teens its quite possible. i was this bald in college as well.
