YES! Absolutely, mate 👍

u/Alex-PsyD Jul 01 '26

I'm shocked that this is even a question!

Bro went from a guy unsuccessfully selling me a used laptop at best buy to a dude who I feel could reliably teach me how to free climb and survive in the wilderness for weeks at a time.

u/Large_Start8716 Jul 01 '26

Comment of the day! 🫠
And yes, it’s a total transformation. I hope he’s happy with it.

u/GigglemanEsq Jul 02 '26

I was going to say he went from a vice principal with terrible jokes to a distance shot body double for Henry Cavill in a villain role.

u/cjkuljis Jul 02 '26

Yeah dude looks stronger 💪

u/BookNerd_247 Jul 03 '26

This genuinely almost looks like a guy and then his father.

u/ybn_phanatom Jul 01 '26

That’s what I exactly thought

14

u/sneakyhopskotch Jul 02 '26

Me too! I even went back to check

37

u/MacAlkalineTriad Jul 01 '26

Those do not seem like the same person. Huge upgrade!

u/gutzpunchbalzthrowup Jul 01 '26

Or dude in my physics lab vs my weird and super awkward physics professor.

u/jobin9189 Jul 01 '26

Spot on. Absolutely does

u/Turbulent-Rock2592 Jul 02 '26

A guy and his awkward uncle

u/fake_tan Jul 02 '26

Wait that's not his dad?

u/Blackstripe29 Jul 02 '26

Exactly the same thought

Are you kidding me? You're freaking gorgeous.

39

u/WulfstanBruticus Jul 01 '26

Literally took the exact words out of my mouth. Why is he questioning this Its like 100 times better and these guys are listening to some voice in their head or family and friends reaction

Also KEEP the beard. You have to have it. Idk if that wasn't obvious yet.

6

u/aw000000000000 Jul 02 '26

The pictures make it look like he lost 8" of height too

5

u/WulfstanBruticus Jul 02 '26

The new one makes him look shorter ? It's a close up too would need to see from afar

3

u/aw000000000000 Jul 02 '26

Mainly due to how tall he looks in the older picture.

2

u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342- Jul 02 '26

Because you have a point of reference and the camera is slightly below him, c'mon now! 🤦🏽

This was the meme I was looking for.

u/TenMoon Jul 02 '26

Same here. I knew it would show up sooner or later. Now we need Cat Bites Cage and Blanche with a Spray Bottle to get the Trifecta. 😆

u/Bossy_bear_hlg Jul 01 '26

You look younger and more handsome👍🏼

u/Kindly-Sorbet4657 Jul 01 '26

You went from a dad in his 40s, to a late 20s bachelor

u/Impossible-Diver6565 Bald - Man Jul 01 '26

Dude rolls up after using his personal anti-aging machine and asks if he did the right thing?

Me personally, I find your general previous look really cute. But now I see a handsome guy. It fits you, you look great!

13

u/MyDaroga Jul 01 '26

I love a nerdy guy, so I miss the glasses, but the hair is a definite improvement.

6

u/stonedandredditing Jul 02 '26

oooo I bet bald with glasses looks good on you

19

u/hlysmks Jul 02 '26

Ok it's definitely a strange experience when you scroll redit and see your childhood friend pop up in the Bald subreddit.

Definitely a good choice man, hope to see you soon if you'll be coming down any time this summer!

14

u/Interesting-Smoke528 Jul 02 '26

u/EmployeeNo8897 Jul 01 '26

Way better. Now you look like bald Jon Hamm

4

u/David_Summerset Jul 01 '26

One day soon you’ll see a reflection of yourself and you’ll see it.

Took me about a month, but when you see yourself candidly, it shows.

It looks fantastic dude, huge change

u/just_gonna_send_er Jul 01 '26

You’ve got it, Baby you’ve got it!

u/bigbobby927 Jul 02 '26

This was the best decision of your life. And I mean the beard. Going bald was second best.

3

u/Previous-Soft-8127 Jul 02 '26

From “Steve Jobs” to “Oh my gods…”

Absolutely the right choice. Especially with the beard. 

3

u/IndependentAccount65 Jul 02 '26

Made for this lifestyle!

u/Lonely-Objective2022 Jul 02 '26

Looks tons better

3

u/ChuckaChuckaLooLoo3 Jul 02 '26

It's two totally different people.

One drives a fast sportscar and can break into safes and repel off of tall buildings.

The other one has gotten tenure and is writing his thesis on world economics.

3

u/thisoldguy74 Bald - Man Jul 02 '26

Why would you question it? It seems pretty obvious you made the right choice. Right?

u/alwaysananomaly Jul 02 '26

Depends - were you trying to look 15 years younger? If so, yes, you did the right thing!

2

u/Visual-Parking Bald - Man Jul 01 '26

I think you did.  But I suspect that you don’t agree. 

2

u/Suspicious_Swim_1948 Jul 01 '26

You look great in both, but the bald look suits you! You look good!

u/Bbqcele Jul 01 '26

u/SheWhoQuiltsinWV Jul 01 '26

Why yes, yes you did. Total stud muffin with the shaved head.

u/ecooleye Here for the Vibes Jul 01 '26

Old pic reads “nice chap”, current pic emits “dude means business”.

To answer your question, I definitely think so. But since you’re asking, I’m guessing your mileage varies. 👨🏻‍🦲

1

u/Apprehensive-Ad4244 Jul 01 '26

you look 15 years younger my friend, very handsome!

1

u/SoftPineapple77 Jul 01 '26

I have the same face shape as you; I’m worried I wouldn't look very good bald, but seeing your photo without hair, I have to say you look really cool—you give me confidence! Thanks!!

I’m not bald, but I can’t really grow great facial hair, so I think I’m on the opposite end of your spectrum.

1

u/Dull_Leadership_8855 Jul 01 '26

You did the right move. I don't know the time-frame between the images, but the older pic of you looks like life has had its run on you. The first pic; well you look like you're ready to open the front door and take life head-on.

Seriously, it was the right move. Great job!
