What do ya think?
« on: November 14, 2014, 08:48:16 PM »
I've actually shaved my head before and my parents along with some other people said they liked it when I had hair, however me and my receeding hairline has caused some serious confidence issues, rarely will you see me without a hat on and forget about going anywhere windy with me or going swimming or anything. I just don't find it attractive to have a receeding hairline like this and I hate covering it up, makes me feel like a wimp. Here's some pictures of me with hair and without it, tell me what you think please!

You look great without hair.  There's no reason why you shouldn't shave again and keep it that way.

I grew it back because of pressure from my parents and a few other people they said it made me look too intimidating or something like that

Having hair causes you to have worries and confidence issues. Seems like a no- brainer to me. And you do look better with no hair. Your parents will learn to accept the sly you. It really does suit you.

I think you look substantially better without hair.

Another vote for the "no hair" option. The first picture you posted is really great - and quite revealing. It's obviously a candid shot and you look so "at ease' being shaved.

Perhaps your parents (et al) have mistaken "confidence" for "intimidating."

I guess I don't see a receding hairline.  My hairline has been like your's since I was a boy.  But perhaps your's is moving.

I think either look is fine.

Personally, I'm biased to the shaved head. I think it looks sharp, and I really enjoy the smooth feel of the bald head. 

If the hairline is bothering you, go for the shave. The family will get used to it.  You do look good in the bald photos.

If you feel better without the hair, then why are you even asking whether you should do it? It is your hair and your hairline. Do with it what makes you happy. Your family will quiet down once they get past the initial surprise of your look.

Here's another vote for shaving. It looks good on you and you seem to like. Those are the two best reasons for keeping up with it. And remember, the only opinion that matters is your own.

You are like me.  You still have "just enough" hair to grow it out if you want to.  (But yours is much thicker than mine).  But you are just "on the cusp" of thinning. 

Personally, I think that you look much better sly.  Yes, you do look a little bit intimidating - but that is a good thing!  You look rather "average" with the short, thinning hair.

Bottom line:  You must do what FEELS good to you.  If going sly makes you feel better - then why are you even asking the question?
