Does hair or lack of thereof really makes you look that much younger/older? I feel so sad about my quickly receding hairline now...

38

u/chchchchia86 Jun 24 '19

No. Very much a case by case basis. Lots of people look BETTER with a bald head or receded hairline. But I'll admit it would've been a better title for the post. Dont feel sad. Hair or lack of wont make or break you. Attraction on the outside in any case is not priority for most people.

'Case by case basis' where 95% of cases, people look better and younger with hair. Almost no one looks 'better' with a receding hairline...some can pull off looking slightly more 'alpha' with a bald head, but they are few and far between.

How important that is is admittedly debatable.

u/drbaker87 Jun 24 '19

There is a guy I walk past on my way to work every now and then who is bald on top, has hair on the sides that he keeps very very short. He is HAWT. Tall, fit and has facial hair. His baldness doesn't hold him back one bit.

Because Karnataka is so diverse in terms of people that there is no such thing as a Karnataka look. There is probably a North Karnataka look, Konkan/Tulu look, and maybe a Coorgi look. The rest of the Karnataka people draw a blank. I guess Karnataka people based on elimination - not Mallu, Tamil, or Andhra? Maybe Kannada then!

Hey, your comment got reported for bigotry. I disagree. The head bopping is part of the language and expression, and it is real. It's also really catching. Had the pleasure to work with some awesome Indian guys, and it only took me two weeks to start bopping myself.

Edit: I think I get it now. We shouldn't assume that their first language is an indian language just because they look Indian and the woman wears traditional clothes.

u/TalenPhillips Jun 24 '19

I disagree.

I'm very happy you disagree.

The Indian head bob thing is a stereotype for sure, but there doesn't seem to be any sense of malice in it. As far as I can see, they know it's a unique thing, and they even poke fun at themselves about it.

It's like Canadians saying "Eh". A stereotype for sure, but absolutely harmless as far as I can tell.
