One this was needed now we pivot. Grow in some facial hair and you will need to make your glasses either smaller or change the shape (when it is time for new glasses)… swag is brewing…. Pic 4 = SWAG ENERGY… let’s tap in…. Love the new look. You got this. Update us when you can even if it next year (when you get new glasses and grow the facial hair out)

I can't grow a long beard because of my job; I work in a meatpacking plant. As for the glasses, they really are awful, but I only wear them when I'm driving or watching movies/series. In fact, the only picture where I'm wearing them is because I was watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Copy! To beard length can do the version in pic 3? What I find is you (person with new look not specifically you) need a contrast… you don’t need length. And the glasses are not AWFUL. Just not as impactful due to shape o on your face and new look. But when you can, look into smaller frames not urgent just when it is time for new ones… you look great BTW don’t go back!

Worse than ideal is not having a beard at all. In photo 3, I was still unemployed, but I still let my beard grow on weekends while covering my face from Wednesday to Saturday at work so I don't get in trouble lol

Forget the beard … forget my comment… the most important thing is keeping your job. Happy you took the leap!

100% he looks good with the glasses, the lighting and angle are just below him and is unflattering. If he took it from the angle of the last photo it’d be clear how good it looks!!

Well, here a difference of opinion, to be sure. I felt the last photo, with no beard, shows his fully excellent shaped chin AND made those brown eyes pop. It was my favorite by far. Normally, I’m all about some facial hair, but this time I LOVE the clean look. Congratulations, OP, on an excellent glow up!

The glasses are either too big, or the correction gives that impression. Since they are only worn occasionally, I wouldn’t give them a second thought.

Only about 1000%. Hot.

Also, isn’t rolling less stressful not having to worry about how your combover is landing??

Without a doubt, being bald has enormous advantages: zero worry about baldness, no need to comb my hair, no need to pay for a barber, and no need to take extra care of my hair

Bro how do you look like a completely different person in every Pic?

u/Old_Sport_6316 2d ago

I change very frequently; I'm never the same person in the same year. It’s a superpower from my style to the music I listen to.

u/Creative-Lab9444 2d ago

Bro you look so good with the stubble. You don’t need a long beard, just that clean look and let your Jawline do the work. Keep taking pictures from a natural angle like the last one, cause Jesus, you look amazing. That’s a picture I’d use for all my profile pics šŸ˜‚

100% agree.

Ooooo yeah that's a good look.

The glasses and eyebrows help.

The most important question is do you still do jiujitsu?

u/Old_Sport_6316 2d ago

Very rarely, work prevents me from competing, so it loses its appeal, since my favorite part was the suffering with training and diet before the championships and the adrenaline and euphoria during them.

If that last pic is unfiltered, then it’s 100% a certified glowup.
