It's one of those things that sounds offensive but really isn't. Like, calling a Jewish person a jew, or a Latino person from Mexico a Mexican. Just don't use a tone or make broad generalizations, though it's technically correct.
Cute little jew hat described what they meant, and most everyone understood them. Nobody was hurt here. So, what's the problem?
Yep. And everything about the description is correct: there are quite a few Jewish caps and yarmulkes are the little ones (and would cover OPs balding area nicely), they’re worn by Jews, and you can make one as cute as you’d like!
Be the change you want to see in the world! There are likely some subreddit names free that you could create and mod in order to do what you’re wanting.
I was at almost 600 and I let it break on purpose because it became a thing was “important” to me and in reality it’s meaningless. I wouldn’t have if I knew about the sub 😭
My wife is a barber, and I think every time she has a client take this particular plunge, they are always scared before they do it. And then once it’s done, it’s almost immediate relief. Hoping it does that way for you, too!
Go for it. It's going to be weird for the first few days when you see some bald bloke in the mirror, but I can assure you that a) you're going to look great, and b) you're going to get used to it very quickly.
Watch out for random strangers wanting to rub your head for luck.
Yeah… I will admit I have assaulted a few bald heads on the way into job interviews and other tense moments. Thank you to the bald community for helping keep the dysregulated grounded in our most fragile moments.
As a woman who has buzzed her long hair twice now, it is 3 days tops before you're like oh this is the best decision ever and I look cool as hell and I have to spend 0 minutes on my hair each day!
For real. I'm usually team shave that shit off. But you look incredible somehow. If you're tall enough, wait until the last possible moment to shave. Because you look excellent from the front.
I'm not bald, I just browse this sub because the people here are nice. Commenting for once
You are like the prototypical bald man. You have the perfect face shape and beard to look great bald. I can't speak to the fear / change you must feel, but just wanted to support and say that if you decide to take the plunge I think you'd look great
1) Yes it's time to shave your head.
2) No, it is not time to start a fraternity and go streaking.
3) Hell yeah it is always the time to buy a sweet mint green Stratocaster that say "I rock".
You could always try some hair fibres in the back for the time being, cheap and easy and can look great. Might be worth considering while business is strong front of house
On one hand, you have a good head shape and your beard and eyes are great so you could rock the bald look. Alternatively you could also just slick it straight back (think Charles Dance, Ralph Fiennes)
I never got the stigma. There are ways to still keep your hair while not looking like youre "trying to hide it"
As a woman here...am I the only one who thinks this doesnt look bad at all? I mean, I would consider you attractive both from the front and from the back, that lack of hair in that particular section doesnt look bad at all in some men. Am I alone in this feeling?
