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.
-
Another vote for you to keep it shaved. Welcome!
-
Looks good either way, nice to have options.
-
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?
-
Welcome to the sly fraternity. Glad that you joined us. You look like a natural with the chrome dome look.

Great look being shaved - - -and the Oakley's make it look better. I have worn Oakley's for years. They compliment our baldness.
Enjoy the look - - -You look GREAT.
-
You look great with no hair
-
I will add another vote for you to keep it shaved. You look great bald man and you will feel so much better once you shave it and keep it that way.
-
Of course the answer here i s it looks better shaved. But like others have said, you still have enough hair for options. Parents and friends take time to adjust to a change and do not give objective comments, so don't let that be the basis of your decision. If you like it shaved, just do it.
-
I can tell you that, I'm in the same situation. When I first shaved my head my parent tell me that I should grow back and some of my friends tell me : "D*ck head!". Actually I don't care what they say.
I grow back my hair just because I think I need to done my study first (I'm last year student of a college and unluckily my teachers don't like my head too).
You live in US that many people shaving their head, I'm live in ASEAN country that every bald guys defined to be gangster or bad guys. So I think you should shave you head if you want. I will shave mine once I've done my study despite the social here.
-
Dude, you look AMAZING bald.... tough mean, aggressive... GRRRR!!!
:)
-
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
How is that possibly a negative?
-
I think that you look good either way. However, you seem to want to shave your head, so you should try that again. If you don't like that way (operative word is "you"), you can always grow back your hair. If #2 is you (looks like an astronaut), you can look really great with a totally clean scalp. So try it again (for 30 days) and then make a decision.
-
Uhhhhhh mate SHAVE IT!
Holy hell you look like Kelly Slater bald!
-
You look good with hair.
You look great without!
-
Not gonna lie. Your parents are right you do look much more intimidating without the hair but also far more masculine.
You look just fine with hair though, although I think better without or with the barely down in stubble.
Cheers mate!

Bro, definitely shave the head...suits you. If you don't want to go completely bald, shave it to a stubble, looks like you have a good widow's peak in the front that will look good with a stubble shave.
