The one thing i learned by getting bald is that its not a big deal to be bald and most people view it as something mundane. Only teenagers seem to not be able to handle other peoples baldnes.
I am 😌!
r/bald is an example of male centered body positivity. does it tend to be a little bit toxically positive? occasionally. however, the broad strokes are very healthy and deserve to be commended, especially as this is all ultimately a conversation about accepting what it means to perform masculinity in this day and age without bringing along a litany of toxically masculine traits. i genuinely appreciate what they’re doing and want to give them their roses as a male whose hair style is gender nonconforming. thank you, r/bald, for being kind, patient, and accepting of eachother
It’s been years since I’ve gone on Reddit aside from getting a thread as an answer to a search result but there was another subreddit for bald men that was way different in tone. The name escapes me but it was truly depressing and negative, lots of men that were extremely depressed, sometimes suicidal, and a ton of incel rhetoric about social death when bald
I think it was tressless, and I only know it bc one guy would sometimes come into other men’s subs talking about that sub and how depressed he was and how hair was the only thing that would ever make him happy. When people tried to show positivity and get him to see things in a different light he’d just ignore everything and talk about his depression.
He was way too far gone for reddit randos to help and really needed a professional but he ignored that advice as well. Then he’d delete the acct and show back up a week or so later with a new acct and the exact same talking points. It was really sad
The change in facial expression and environment does heavy lifting too for the magical man transformation
Which is better, a clear evening sunset, or a dank room lit by a single cfl bulb
Very few things look as universally bad as long hair on a balding person.
bill bailey would beg to differ.
True, he really owned that look. There’s a lot of folk that couldn’t or wouldn’t get away with it though. There’s trend setters, trend followers, and then there’s folk like Bill. I put Johnny Depp in that category too. That guy looks good in anything, but imagine how many guys would look terrible if they tried to mimic his style.
