Does /fa/ endorse the "shave ur head n grow a bear" approach to balding?
>>11054332
only for negroes
oscar isaac in ex machina definitely nailed it, though i don't think he's balding
>>11054361
Jesus Christ, most men get larger hairlines as they got older. It's not balding. Balding is when you start to lose the hair on your crown. You need to be in the 5% genetic pool to have a flat hairline at an older age.
if you want to look like a crazy homeless man a la MC Ride
>>11054332
Foucault core or bust
worked for me
>>11054402
op said balding i was just trying to complete the assignement
>>11054332
Well it 100% works if you have great thick beard.
>>11054654
This looks so fucking retarded
0/10
>>11054332
it has been the standard recommendation for years. Which means that people are strting to get tired of keeping that look. The counter-trend is to to let your hair on the sides grow out, but DON'T try to hide your bald spot. Own it.
>>11054727
This, too many people fall for the "if you start balding just shave it off" meme.
Bald is a look very few people can pull off. Honestly getting tan and /fit/ and just growing everything out to a stubble (Statham style) is probably your best best for remaining "attractive"
>>11054654
No it doesn't kid
The whole shavehead/growbeard approach is Reddit as fuck. I say, if you're up in your thirties, let the top fall out and keep the sides for that experienced man look.

>>11054739
see but those people are all older.
It looks acceptable on them.
If your like 27 and have a hairline like any of >>11054727 you can't "own it"
No one on /fa/ asking about whether or not they should shave their head is a 40+ man with a weathered face whose just started balding. They young adults that still look like they should have a full head of hair.
I say go for it op. but don't grow your beard out like >>11054654
keep it neat.

i dont get it.. but I have considered reading him, watched some of his interviews only. thinking about buying media control, good intro to him?
>>11056380
This is good advice.
I actually recommend a neat stubble beard with a buzz if that's still an option, you can do something thicker but ymmv.
The long beard bald head look is actually very reddit.
Also the generic 'go to the gym' advice actually matters here. Yes, you have to be skinny to be /fa/ but if you go full bald you'll never look good if don't have any weight on you.
Also try not to be pale.
'Headshape' and features like ears and nose don't matter that much especially if you can grow a beard a little, they're mostly things you will notice yourself, not others. (Unless they're very out of the ordinary of course, but this is rare)
Just my two cents.

boooo
Slightly unrelated.
I buzzed recently.
I don't grow much facial hair.
I posted this in the other Balding thread but its almost 300+ so I figured I'd post it here for feedback of some kind.
I can't grow a good beard so I just go with the stubbly look :(
Pray you have good head shape
>>11054402
receding hairline is just as bad if not worse
>>11056750
you don't look that bald.
>>11056752
you look fine.
>>11056759
in what universe is a receding hairline worse than bad thinning on the crown?
I hope for people younger than me that balding gets truly cured at some point.
It ruined my life and I'll probably be alone forever because of it, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Having your youth and charm robbed by some genetic disease is awful.
>>11056750
you slimming down fantano?
>>11056996
jesus you sound like such a manchild. lots of guys go bald fairly early in life. move on. it's not keeping you from getting a girlfriend or "ruining your life." I know plenty of guys in their 20s who are balding and very successful.
>>11057008
I doubt many people think high of or respect people in their twenties who are bald or balding.
You're a genetic mistake when you are.
>>11057054
Holy shit dude we love you
Now step away from the ledge
>>11057054
Well, you're wrong. Go see a shrink. Maybe they can help you with your self confidence issues.
>>11054654
>listens to action bronson once
>>11058884
I shaved my head and was actually called ugly because of it, multiple times.
It doesn't fit my head, this is not something I can fix either so being robbed of something completely out of your control is very very demoralizing.
Now I could of course learn to live with myself and how to enjoy life while being alone but I don't think it's fair I have to go through that just because I lost my hair.
It just makes me wish I wasn't born because I cannot blame anyone for this but I also cannot fix nor deal with it.
Who /lumpyskinnyuglyhead/ hear
>>11056752
I would say grow out the length of beard stubble and head stubble a bit more. To the point that it matches the darkness of your brows if possible.
Other then that pretty good m8
>my whole life revolves around having hair
lmao
>>11060180
>Being this much of a cuck
>>11056380
Fucking this. Also, who the fuck cares if shaving and growing a beard is "reddit" as fuck. You're balding. There's not much you can do with that.
>>11060250
Not him, but are memes literally all you think of?
man my hairs starting to get pretty thin at the front i'll probably have to shave within 2 years. can't grow a beard at all though so cancer patient core seem likely
>not having a full mane
i shiggy diggy
>>11056996
balding made people not want to be your friend anymore?
cmon son. it's not the serious.
>>11060201
>>11060250
>>11060379
I have friends, but I'm too repulsive to ever have a relationship.
Now I know that I was obviously ugly before I went bald too but the comments and extreme drop in any sort of interest from others when it comes to dating came when I shaved my head.
You instantly gain 10 years if you're balding or bald, you HAVE to be fit or well-build, a lot of clothing suddenly doesn't look as good anymore, it's just a pretty shitty all around situation.
So yeah, I have friends, I have hobbies, I probably won't get in a relationship and people will feel awkward around me because of my looks.
All because of genetics.
>>11060546
I know what you mean pal. Im in my 20s and and balding ( i have a buzzed head). It's very depressing. I always think if only I had my nice hair back maybe that girl would like me or w.e. It's a constant gnawing anxiety and I wouldn't be surprised if it pushed me over the edge. I feel like I will never be loved. I also cant really grow a beard lol
>>11060590
Quit being a fag some girls like it, usually black and Hispanic chicks mostly
>>11060596
Im a uk fag there's few blecks here
>>11060546
I started balding at 19. Shaved my head by 21/22.. I joke about it with older people, my girlfriend would obviously prefer Harry Styles' receding hairline than my nothing but hey you make the best of what you get. If anything good has come of it, definitely look and feel manlier. It's not the end, sounds like your just woefully self conscious.
>>11054361
just finished watching that holy shit. Oscar is /fa/ as fuck in it for sure
>>11060590
>>11060599
Try being gay, it's a worse hit on your appearance if you are.
Seriously, girls are a little more understanding when it comes to flaws in looks than a lot of gay guys are.
>>11060614
not even CLOSE to bald though.
>>11060723
ive seen skinny gay bald guys fucking left and right
this happens outside the internet ofc
>>11060742
who do they fuck though, from what I know it's usually other bald guys or bears.
Guys, women understand that men go bald, they're still perfectly capable of being attracted to a bald man. That being said, baldness can be your only shortcoming. Hit the gym, acquire a position of power, command the room, and dress well. Confidence gets the panties more wet than hair does.
>>11060803
This is honestly pretty accurate. While my personal experiences only go so far, most women I know only give a shit if a man is balding when he tries to hide it.
>>11060727
yeah but i think his whole demeanour and look, and even his house n shit are a blueprint for how someone who is balding can do it, just shaving the hair a little closer. i think it probably wouldnt work if you were a shit weedy pasty cunt with bad facial hair but if you got some Mediterranean or middle eastern genes in you go for it
I've been thinking of getting a hair transplant anyone got any experience?
>>11060952
nah, it leaves scars no matter what (strip or FUE). Just look at the back of Joe Rogan's or Bill Burr's heads, shits ugly. Accept you're balding and shave it
>>11060979
there's some great options, mostly dutch based from what I remember, however that costs up to 12k+ depending on how bald you are.
and spending 12k(excluding retouches, which you will always need) on your hair probably means you're either old enough where shaving it is a good option, or you're rich enough that you wouldn't be asking here.
>>11060932
>>11060803
this makes me happy I'm straight.
gay guys are fucking savages when it comes to looks, holy shit.
>>11056750
either you're balding but your hairline is staying thick or you're just not very good at shaving it. next time try go over your hairline in multiple directions to get all the hair.
looks gud tho
>>11054332
wow he is handsome

>>11061523
Try being an actual faggot AND being a bottom while balding.
Seriously.
>>11061632
is it a challenge or an advice?
>>11061643
it is really great advice senpai. works out great everytime
>>11054332
If you want to compensate for being bald
>>11061643
definitely not advice, not the same poster but balding sucks when you're gay lol.
>>11061632
Well nobody forced you to be a fucking degenerate
>>11062484
Yeah great advice.
Every guy is objectively uglier without hair.
>>11064060
Not really, there is people who look equally or even better bald.
>>11064071
Only bald people think that.
But yes, bald or buzzed ALWAYS looks better than BALDING but it'll never look better than a well styled full head of hair.
>>11064080
No, really, ever heard of Kurt Angle? the guy looks better bald than with hair
>>11064095
>>11064450
He's old as shit now,(also a fucking druggie) look at him when he was young.

Started balding at 20 and now at 25 I'm bald as fuck. Never stopped me from getting laid, playing sports, or being the center of attention in certain interactions. And I'm not even some alpha guy either. Just confident. You're looking for an excuse to blame the rest of you as a failure
>>11060599
What a cuck. My girlfriend prefers the bald /fit/ look.
>>11060769
I'm not skinny I'm bald and fat and I constantly land 7/10 Asians and one turn a 8/10. Best with white women a 6/10. The problem is you guys in /fa/ are naturally too beta.
>>11054332
I want to grow a bear
Buzzed it a yesterday for first time. It was 2spooky4me when i saw this thread.
Thoughts and criticism much appreciated.
>>11066113
trim your beard a little and shorter buzz in head
it looks good tho
>>11066113
Looks good. Having a good head shape with thick eyebrows/beard helps you pull it off. How old?

Shall i buzzcut? Im starting to go bald in the crown
>>11069465
sorry man.
Anyway, I'd buzz just because it'd look better than what u have atm
>>11066113
Looks good man, I might suggest letting your moustache grow just a bit longer over your top lip or even just angle the cut a bit different, but you have nice lips so it's all good.
>>11069465
ud look sxc buzzcut nohomo

Another baldy here,I think I will buzzcut anyway

The only downside of buzzcut+ beard is that you look older so that might be an pro/con when trying to get a gf
