Nothing says “I’m not bald” like a ski hat in Miami. Meme 💩

If he just didn't wear the hat all the time people would get used to it and it'd look fine. It's a shock for people when you hide it all the time.

The problem is, his entire grift is aimed at 14-24 year old boys who are pretty ignorant. And that group is not going to listen to a bald nerd who cosplays as a competent older degenerate skater.

Not with that giant egg head he has

It would be better if he just fully shaved. Right now he’s rocking a monk hairline which makes him look significantly older

I made some of the dumbest decisions of my life between the ages of 21-25. Sure, alcohol helped fuel some of those decisions, but plenty of sober ones were equally as cringe.

You're not a boy but you're also not fully smart yet like after 24-25. I remember my attitudes on things changing around then. Didn't want to party as much, etc.

To all my dudes with thinning hairlines, this is what you need to understand.

The sooner you shave it, the sooner you and others can adjust to your new look. Just do it.

Rock it with confidence, hit the gym a couple times a week, wear a lot of v necks. You’ll be fine.

Unless you look like the Rock or Statham, you’ll do terrible on Tinder, etc but irl women will still fw you if you shoot your shot

I'm not going to endorse v-necks but I'm with you otherwise 😂

Bro really tried to sneak that one in like no one would notice.

I was at a bar once and some girl shot me down for wearing a v neck. When the fuck did that change over. I think I'm getting old. Well, I know I am. Sigh.

V necks are awesome. I'll fight you on this.

Been out of the dating game for almost a decade now, had no idea about vnecks being out.

I mean I still see lots of pics of popular celebrities wearing them so I dunno. Maybe it's a Gen Z thing and us millennials and older are still cool with them.

u/dosumthinboutthebots Monkey in Space 27d ago

Yeah it seems that way. The sweater ones are great for going over dress shirts in the morning and the t shirts ate great because they're usually light weight and cool(temp wise). Though ill admit, I've never been an aficionado of fashion or keeping up with trends.

u/SuperSmashDan1337 Monkey in Space 27d ago

I can't tell you exactly why but the girl was right. I hopefully you've learned from that encounter and now you're both living better lives.

Yeah don’t mess with the V necks but otherwise it’s the right advice

u/SkyboyRadical Monkey in Space 27d ago edited 27d ago

Doesn’t have to be a deep v. If you have a nice jawline it will accentuate your features

Guess it doesn’t work for everyone but it does for me

Ah, didn’t know what sub I was in. Doesn’t your boy wear tons of v necks?

Someone is gonna have to explain the v neck hate to me. We’re not talking Jared Leto here, just a simple V.

If you’re in decent shape, should look great

u/ToMyOtherFavoriteWW Monkey in Space 27d ago

What the hell does V-necks have to do with it, weird

u/Same-Ad8783 Monkey in Space 27d ago

Sounds like your issue isn't with the hair line but with the closet line....

u/Gibson_was_Right Monkey in Space 27d ago

Shit advice. I shaved my head for like 6 years due to male pattern baldness and guess what? I looked exactly like every other man my age who goes bald.

"Bald guy with big beard + glasses" - how many of those have you seen this week? I bet a lot

It was also another form of insecurity. I was ashamed to be seen balding so I shaved it. Internally speaking, that is no different than being the hat guy

Overall it's your choice what you do with your own head. But I hope my fellow.balding dudes read this and realize you don't have to fit into any kind of mold.

I stopped shaving my head and literally nobody gave a shit. I look fine, my wife likes it, nobody has ever made fun of me or whatever. It's not a big deal at all.

Sounds like your problem is a desire to be unique. We’re all human beings, a lot of us are gonna look similar, it’s natural. You don’t have to be Jason Statham to be desirable. Take it from a fellow white bald man with glasses and a beard. It’s not like I’m suddenly a boring, cookie-cutter Chad just because I shave my head. But my confidence has skyrocketed and I feel most comfortable this way so it’s been nothing but positive.

I’m not telling you to shave your head, you do you. I just don’t get the complaint.
