Being bald makes you look 15 years older

156

u/TruthAndAccuracy Feb 06 '23

Not necessarily. Being bald can make you look way younger than being balding

106

u/finger_milk Feb 06 '23

Exactly. A full head of hair can help you look young, but any dude that refuses to go bald when they have hair loss is going to age a lot worse until they commit to taking it all off.

44

u/rowdymonster Feb 06 '23

Legit, I'm balding like hell, and like my father. I got a friar tuck hairline, and my hair is only getting thinner. If I let it grow out at all beyond a buzz, I look in my 40s. If I just shave it/ even buzz it tight? I look way more handsome and look younger than my age by years.

Bald also looks confidant in its own way once you hit your 20s at least, I've found lol

4

u/Kylo-The-Optimist Feb 06 '23

Some men legitimately just look hotter with a bald head than with hair. Great example is Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor from Smallville.)

7

u/mirthquake Feb 06 '23

Oh for sure. My go-to examples of a bald head looking powerful and hot are Terry Crewes and Mike Judge.

u/Felipeqs1409-- Feb 05 '23

What does "suave" means?

465

u/Bobolequiff Feb 05 '23

Something like charming and confident. If you've seen The Man From U.N.C L.E, Henry Cavill's character is suave.

174

u/oilpit Feb 05 '23

James Bond is the other obvious comparison (although U.N.C.L.E is the best Bond film ever made so that is spot on)

3

u/mehrabrym Feb 06 '23

Are you being cheeky when you say it's the best Bond film ever made? Or are you saying it's somehow a Bond film?

8

u/oilpit Feb 06 '23

What I meant by my comment was, in my opinion, that film does everything a great Bond film should. I love Casino Royale, and Skyfall, but U.N.C.L.E just feels more like a classic Bond movie than any of the Daniel Craig installments.

Just try desperately to keep your gorge down regarding Armie Hammer the entire time and it will be a great action spy flick. It's so hard to watch anything with him in it and separate the content from the sexual violence and cannibalism, but if you can manage then it's an enjoyable movie.

The Picture of Dorian Gray talks about how physical beauty is a valuable commodity because people will overlook moral vices when people are beautiful. Also when the beauty is suddenly lost this can be very difficult for those who once had it.

Oh, thank you, I knew about the halo effect but not the horn effect.

The way I learned about the halo effect was more along the lines of, people will assume/see other positive traits once they have seen one positive trait (typically beauty cause that's most immediately apparent), rather than they will overlook negatives, but those are very close and in fact it might be a distinction without a difference.

u/itsmesungod Feb 06 '23

Me and my fiancée always donate to Pantene. Just don’t donate to Locs of Love! They charge the people for the hair that you donate for free. It’s disgusting.

I grow my hair out down to my ass and then I cut it to my shoulders or a little above, braid it up, and send it out. My fiancée does the same.

We do it about twice a year. It’s an awesome feeling, knowing you can make some little kid more confident and happy! This video reminds me why we do it.

u/Lotus-child89 Feb 06 '23 edited Feb 06 '23

I’m on my I think 9th donation since my teens. I’m 33 now. It’s longest I’ve gotten it since 15. All the way to past my waste. I didn’t want to have to chop it so short this round because I’m getting married this year and wanted to keep some hair to fix up in a bridal style. So I let it get this long so I could give ten inches and still have pretty long hair by the wedding. It’s going to feel good to finally cut it off. It makes my head feel like it’s floating for a bit after it’s cut off. I think I have a couple rounds left in me before I get too old and have to start dying over greys. They prefer untreated, solid color hair.

I donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. I used to give to Locks of Love, but was disturbed to discover they just sell off a lot of the donated hair to private manufacturers to make wigs for commercial profit and the charity has ridiculous overhead vs. actual charitable contribution. Not a good look for a charity. Pantene is more legit.

9

u/SilkyOatmeal Feb 06 '23

That's great! Yeah I was warned away from locks of love by my old hair stylist. Not only do they profit apparently but he said they were a pain to deal with. Congrats on your impending nuptials!

6

u/Lotus-child89 Feb 06 '23 edited Feb 06 '23

Thank you very much! We’re all very excited about it, especially my daughter! Lol

It’s good to hear of other people being charity conscious. I wish more were. There’s just too many charities getting away with corruption and making corporate level profits while returning little of actual value. People think I’m awful for resenting the Susan G. Komen Foundation, but they have a history of being very corrupt and donating little to actual research while claiming they only spread “awareness” while making big bucks for board members. Hair donation is such a great cause that’s easy to contribute to at no cost (skipping haircuts actually saves me money, so it’s win-win), but it’s important that it goes to the right thing and right people. This site is a way to ascertain which charities operate on the level you expect.
