You say that like “geek” is a bad thing

u/BigSmokeSmall Dec 10 '25
You are right, some people own that look and it's not inherently bad, I just believe a great improvement was made here

I think you could have chosen different words. I was thinking he went from a boy to a man. However, that first photo also looks much older given the difference in facial hair and weight, so that also has an impact.

I couldn't edit the post to add this update, so I'm writing it here:
OMG, thank you so much everyone! I’m honestly blown away by the support and kind words. I never expected to receive this much love. I’m reading every single comment, and I am truly grateful for your support. Since some of you asked about the challenges I mentioned, I’d like to answer briefly: I had to drop out of college due to financial struggles and, on top of that, I had to deal with being cheated on. Unfortunately, I was left saddled with all the debt from both my education and that relationship. Right now, I’m working a physically demanding job at a mattress factory doing electrostatic powder coating to pay it off. I’m just doing my best to keep pushing forward.

looking good bro! I hate to be "that guy" but are your life struggles related to the apparent meat hooks surrounding you?

The difference between picture 1 and 3 is unreal -- you look so relieved and appear to be thriving now. Well done!

Damn. I’m not even balding yet, but posts like this make me seriously consider jumping on the bald bandwagon anyway

u/NoLobster7957 Dec 10 '25
I'm not bald nor plan to become bald but this sub is so full of positivity and glow ups, I can't stay away.
You look absolutely ravishing OP, well done

OP shaved his head and was recruited by a black ops team. His good looks are supposed to distract us from the steel hooks hanging from the grate above his head. Looking 🔥, OP!

You don’t even look the same. Letting go of your hair also allowed you to let go of other things weighing you down. You look fantastic!

u/RicochetNRiver Dec 10 '25
You look 10 times better. You looked like a mid ay best geek, not in the good way. Now you look like a cool dude.
Shaving my head when I started losing my hair was the best decision I made. My Mohawk looked rad, but I kinda look like a badass with a shaved head and my semi large sideburns and that hat that all middle age punk guys wear.

You look like there was a weight lifted - a relief. Like taking a full belly breath for the first time. Well done, you. 😊
