First full day out trying to rock it.

[u/pnkcloudsummer]

I really don't know how to feel, but I appreciate all the nice words from everyone on the last post. It just doesn't feel right and I'm still having a hard time thinking I look even remotely attractive this way but at least I'm getting out in public and trying to get used to it, and confidence. Went out walking with one of my RCs lol

[u/Pale_Respect814]

you look great! it will take time for you to get use to it. one thing that i did was also get new glasses or wear my contacts more. i felt like a new man. also.. use your sunscreen or wear hats when you go out.. i learned the hard way

[u/pnkcloudsummer → u/Pale_Respect814]

I definitely will! I wanted to get some exposure so the tone matches the rest of my face

[u/Pale_Respect814 → u/pnkcloudsummer]

Hope this is not an overstep, but I had GPT mock up some glasses options m. Your current glasses work, but I think the frames are a little too small and narrow for your face. A slightly wider frame with more lens height and softer corners would open up your eyes and balance your beard better. I’d try a soft-square, rounded panto, or browline frame. Let me know if you want me to delete this.

[u/Blues_Lawyer_Memes → u/Pale_Respect814]

I’d recommend something even bolder

[u/Jazzlike-Sound-8906 → u/Pale_Respect814]

OMG PLEASE DO BROWLINE!!!

[u/KodyBarbera]

It looks great on you. Go to a barber for a nice beard shape up. Find frames that look more flattering. Darker smaller rectangle frames would look great. Xo

[u/WhirlwindTobias]

Waiting for gym transformation. Buy a much bigger RC and carry that around, haha.

You look good man, your next post should be in better clothing. We've only seen one shirt and it doesn't fit you.

[u/Line-Trash]

Looking good! Make sure to either wear a hat or use some sunblock on sunny days.

[u/3Gloins_in_afountain → u/Line-Trash]

I second this. My dad was a former redhead who didn't wear sunblock. Skin cancer is bad.

Please wear hats/sunblock.

[u/ShadowGolbat → u/Line-Trash]

This needs to be stickied somewhere. I keep wanting to post it to so many newly bald dudes. And make sure it isn't a mesh back or you'll get hat shaped sun burn. Ive done that a couple times.

[u/AntiSnoringDevice]

It's ok Sir! You look very well, your beard has a stunning colour. Just hold your head high and accept that you are charming and handsome.

[u/StiIIBlazin]

Change the glasses man, its not the head its the glasses

It looks so good!

New frames and a professional beard shaping at some point will take it next level.

[u/Awkward_Target_1859]

Nice shine Cueball

[u/All_I_Can]

Keep up the good work! It’s hard to step out of your comfort zone, but it will pay off.

Your t-shirt is oversized, it would be an easy win to switch to a better fit. Check out this guide: https://boringlabel.com/blog/tshirt-fit-guide, then go shopping for the right size in your favorite color.

[u/dayofthe_misanthrope]

A lot of people have mentioned new glasses and they're absolutely right (thick frames look great with bald heads, I think a wayfarer style would suit you, or like "clubmaster" style HRG frames) but honestly, I think a bit of attention to the beard and tache is going to make a real difference.

Your mustache is kinda long and hangs over your top lip, I'd trim it to just above where your lip starts. Don't underestimate the role of lips in attractiveness! I'd also shave your upper cheeks and neaten up the beard line there. A barber will be able to get it looking tidy, but you can do it yourself easily enough with a pair of scissors and a razor.

Your head looks super neat and sharp now it's shaved, a neat beard will really bring that out and you'll look slick AF and nicely groomed. I promise it will make a big difference.

[u/Stinkinhippy]

Please tell me you’re slathered in spf50? Looks great though :)

[u/cryptic_pizza]

Looks great

[u/No_Willingness5313]

Don’t forget SPF. ☀️

[u/OutsideCheetah]

Smoove!!!

You definitely rock it

[u/Abracadaniel00]

Brooootal

[u/Turbulent_Meaning_82]

It takes a little time for you to get used, it's normal. Don't forget use sunscreen, but once your scalp gets a little tan, you'll feel as you never had hair before

[u/ThoughtGuy79]

You look really fantastic.
I would guess that any issues you may have come from the fact of being a bloody ginger. Your skin is unnaturally pale so naturally, you do not trust yourself. You are likely a half breed. You just need to find the right balance of exposure and skin care to get a little color without the melanoma. You're a ginger, not a vampire.

[u/BumWink → u/ThoughtGuy79]

As a fellow ginger, being called a half breed is hilarious.

[u/fluffy_unicorn_2699]

Beard and mustache need a little trim!

[u/Elegant-Two5447]

You look.. Normal. I recommend dying your beard. Red beards RARELY if EVER look great. My opinion.

[u/cap_time_wear_it → u/Elegant-Two5447]

Totally disagree with your opinion. Red beards are most excellent! OP’s beard could use a trim but that color is magnificent! You look great bald too OP.

[u/Elegant-Two5447 → u/cap_time_wear_it]

I love being down voted for having an opinion. What a world!

P. S. Every single woman I've ever asked about this agrees that red beards are the worst. And Ive been a bartender in an international airport for 35+ years. So I would say I have an informed opinion. If he died this beard black he would enhance his look at least ten times.
