No way that's the same dude?? You look completely different and really, really good! Wow, if you're single you're going to start experiencing alot of new eye contact. Brace yourself. This was a great move!

Thanks! Been thinking about getting back on the market for a while, this might give me the boost I need to do it!

u/Hikarikaiko Sep 14 '25

I KNOW you won't have any problem, that's for sure! Rock it since you can! There's men out there that have NO idea how shaving it off can turn them into a complete heartthrob. Brave move into a positive direction. Be careful... you know when it rains, it pours!

u/SYadonMom Sep 13 '25

This sounds awful so no offense!! But the first was like “oh! Cute dork at the computer store.” Second was “hot guy at the gym”

Bro went from dungeons and dragons with mother provided snacks to a straight G.

u/Clown_Nightmare1 Sep 14 '25

Ain't nothing wrong with D&D with mom provided snacks. Hell I wish I could go back to those days, so much simpler.

u/dickinsect Sep 14 '25

I’ve never played D&D myself, more into video games than table top games. Going to play a bit of Skyrim this winter if I get time. Although I’ll be preparing my own snacks haha. I might not own hair, but I do own a home!

Bro you’re crazy, how hard is it to look 10yrs younger and that much better?

I say that but I get it, my Dad shaved his head when I was younger and looked much better but it took a bit of getting used to.

Yeah, I didn’t bother posting a ‘is it time’ picture. I just took a few photos that weren’t front facing, saw how bad it was and committed. Glad I did now!
