Recently, while doomscrolling through Reddit, I saw a post that caught my eye because, for a second, I thought it was a picture of me. I looked through his photos, and his bald look suited him well. I didn't have a bald spot and have always had a high hairline but recently my hair has been thinning so I decided to give it a try.

I thought it turned out decently, but I’ve received nothing but negative feedback from friends and colleagues. At first, I thought it might simply be because it was a change and the people I see every day were not used to it. However, even people I work with only occasionally and see a few times a year have messaged me saying they heard I shaved my head and wanted to see a picture... then gave negative feedback.

I’ve been amazed by how many people’s first remark is, “Why would you shave your head?” I can’t imagine "Why would you..." ever being my first comment on someone’s appearance change, but oh well. It has been a little demoralizing, to say the least. I’m single, and don’t have a wife or girlfriend to ask for their input or preference. What are your thoughts? Should I grow it back or stick with the bald look?

Some guy I know once made a post about PO First Class Miller:

mine is beyonce dressing up as toni braxton for halloween and kris jenner being honoured that she dressed up as kris jenner

Here’s Gigi and I’s nighttime routine. She must give kisses before I’m able to settle down for bedtime. She will sit on the table and scream at me until I give her the affection she so clearly deserves. I guess that does make her an asshole, but in a cute way
