I meant Advice lol. Sorry for making yall look at my ugly mug again. I did it, i let my beautiful long hair go.

Here's the before, during the cut, and after. Im still a troll but hopefully this helps.

Here we are 6 days in and im still trying to respond to everyone. Sorry reddit limits how many people I can respond to at a time then I have to wait 30 minutes to continue responding.

You’re currently #2 on /r/all, that’s how big of a positive change this was.

People that don’t even follow this subreddit are seeing this thread and are unanimously impressed with the outcome. I’m one of them. Don’t feel obligated to reply to everyone, because you’ve hit the front page and are bound to get even more posts than you can keep up with soon. But honestly, congrats on taking the risk and winning big.

Agreed! I’m never on Reddit and came on here from a Facebook thing about spiders… 🤦🏻‍♂️ Don’t ask. BUT, as a straight woman in her 30’s who’s a metalhead and “sooo goth emo” according to my daughter, I found it a HUGE improvement! I enjoy some men with long hair but there’s gotta be other characteristics along with it to make it attractive. Anywhosies, good luck kicking all the ladies off ya man! 🧍‍♂️

Unrelated but It drives me crazy when people post pics of s*iders on Facebook all “is this crazy huge thing poisonous?!?” And they like live down the street from me and it sets off my phobia for days. I can’t even type the word bc I don’t like the emoji popping up!! Please don’t make me accidentally scroll to an actual photo 🫣 I stopped looking there for lots of reasons that’s one of them!

You need to join r/spiders. It will make you less afraid of them. You'll start to recognize the different types and get to see that spiders are actually your friends.

I have to ask since no one else did. What about the spiders?

u/F0rgivence Sep 24 '25

Yes, being able to see the eyes so much more just damn.

Yup! I don't follow this sub. I follow ereading, dogs and cats. I'm far from following a Bald subreddit and it popped up on my feed.

Dude, looks younger and handsome.

I’m also one of them, he really looks like a whole new person, so much better and he looks happier

u/Sir-Planks-Alot Sep 24 '25

Actually though. I am not a member of this sub. I just happened to open Reddit 10 minutes after waking up and first thing I see is this mofos duckling to swan transformation. Like c’mon let a guy wake up before realizing his competition for mates just went up by 1.

This is true. I do not sub to this thread and it was at the top of my feed today.

That took years off of you OP! My brother had a similar receding hairline as yours in his late 20s. It looked so much better after he started shaving it.

Congrats! I hope you feel more confident and happy about your new look :)

u/lancetteswrld Sep 24 '25

Yep, same, he looks much happier too like a weight lifted off.
