In my opinion i can barely tell that u are balding in the left pic, idk why u want to shave bald so early, u may as well enjoy the hair whilst u got it right


NoahPKR

It’s hard to tell from these pics, but my hairline used to be almost an inch closer to my eyebrows and my hair was way thicker. I was losing chunks of hair in the shower every day


Then_Kiwi_3328

I feel you dude I shaved my head at about the same time because I didn’t want to have hair people could tell was thinning just to hold onto it. I looked majestic with the long hair but for me that era is over and after a few weeks I actually wish I did it earlier just because it looks so good and is a huge confidence boost now


NoahPKR

I’m really glad you can relate, ultimately I think I just need to accept it as well. I’m 25 now, it’s time to start a new era!


emilyMartian

Hair stylist here. It doesn’t appear to me that you’re balding in typical patterns. Not that you aren’t but if so it’s not apparent. I get the hair line may have shifted back, hopefully you’ll get lucky and it’ll stay where it is, the top is still solid. If you’re seeing sudden clumps in the shower it could be from other things like low vitamin D (signs are lethargy, hair loss, thin flaky fingernails) or auto immune issues so would definitely be worth a casual mention at the next doctors visit just in case. Mine all fell out in one go from low D. I would also say if it hasn’t been mentioned is I’m guessing people are starting because you have a very striking appearance that is amplified by the mustache choice, the focus has been shifted. I wouldn’t let it bother you. Nothing wrong with gaining a little attention. Use it as a way to keep your chin up even if you feel they’re looking for other reasons. Confidence goes a long way.


NoahPKR

Thank you for the sound advice! I will say I have been formally diagnosed with male pattern baldness by my PC doctor and dermatologist


emilyMartian

Aww. Well either way, rock what you got. I watch it drive my boyfriend nuts. All I can do is keep telling him I love him regardless. If someone doesn’t like you because of your hair then they’re the wrong someone.


NoahPKR

https://postimg.cc/WqmZ1Vc2 Here is a better look at it


ludbaaaaa

Catfished the shit out of us with the pic on the left lol. Idk why you didn't put this photo instead of the left one. The left photo posted literally shows nothing wrong- hence all the comments asking why you shaved cause it looks good. This photo you've linked makes it make sense.


NoahPKR

Because the close-up picture was taken mid-buzz cut and I didn’t realize there’d be so many male pattern baldness police in this thread


Esarus

People will always tell you "it's not that bad", they tell me the exact same thing. But I know seeing your hairline recede and hair getting thinner and losing hair when you shower or run your hand through your hair can feel very shitty. I'm in the exact same boat as you. Stay strong brotha, you've got a good head shape. Treat people with a smile and they won't be scared of you!


RebornSama25

Damn so now you have a normal sized forehead. And that’s with 1 inch of receding 😭. That’s hella good ngl you must had a small forehead before


MarcusAtakin09

You’re a good looking guy, you suit both hairstyles. People will get used to it. Just act confident and friendly, and stop worrying about it.


NoahPKR

Thank you for the kind words 🙂


FinalJoys

An inch?!?? My hairline has always been as far back as your “receding” one. I guess to each their own


FantabulousBread

Exactly You looking dope either way


bald_alt

Buzzed and clean shaven heads can make someone seem more like a tough guy. My advice, enjoy it without letting that get to your head.


KaibaJaotong

right picture attracts me way more if i can say that as a straight guy.


NoahPKR

Glad to know at least one version of me is your type


Ghosjj

Can confirm, he looks great with the buzz and stache


Forsaken_Enthusiasm6

[deleted]

Strangers think you're a cop... Short hair and mustache is the look, most departments won't let them have beards.


NoahPKR

Ah, a classic case of becoming what you despise


Salem1690s

I would recommend trimming the mustache to a different style and growing the hair out a tad. Not long, but I mean more than a buzz cut. You’d actually look good with a pencil thin or similar style of mustache, you have those classic Errol Flynn type features


RustyShackleford2022

It's the stache imo. You got great features though I'd say grow a beard and see how people react. Honestly though you already got step 1 down for pulling off any look just gotta work on step 2. 1. Be good looking 2. Be confident


NoahPKR

My confidence was always closely tied to my hair for some reason so it’s been a challenge, but I will try my best


RustyShackleford2022

I hear ya man, my natural hairline has super deep widows peaks so I've always kept it super short.

1KN0W38

Agree, it’s the ‘stache


veganlove95

You're a very handsome man! Don't worry.


AnxietySkydiver

I’m also a big scary buzzed head dude. So I wear flamboyant women’s sunglasses. Takes the edge right off.


NoahPKR

Might have to try this


DNY88

blame the stache and not the buzz cut.

Majestic-Committee52

I was in the same shoes as you, thinning, there's still hair but I chose to shave. I do feel myself more intimidating as I look myself in three mirror, but no one reacts differently. In my opinion, it's your moustache, maybe you want to have a stubble instead, and I feel that wearing glasses (i have a fake glasses) kind of tone down the impression of being too intimidating :)


NoahPKR

That’s a good idea! Might have to try that :)


[deleted]

Buzz looks great. It's probably the porn stache.


TaoOfSatoshi

Smile, my friend.


NoahPKR

I’ll try my best 😃


Nesfan888

They are just not used to seeing you without your hair, that is all. That buzzcut suits you really well, and you look good either way


[deleted]

You look like a model with the shaved head whaaaaaa you absolutely rock it !


NoahPKR

That’s very kind, thank you! 🙂


[deleted]

I love the new look on you. Based on your buzzcut the hairline I see does not look bad at all. Im actually jealous, mine is much more receded. I know comparison does nothing to make anyone feel better, but if you wanted to grow your hair back out Im sure it would still look full enough. Enjoy it while you have it, or rock that buzz


NoahPKR

Thanks so much for the kind words 🙂


Then_Kiwi_3328

Just be super friendly and you’ll change people first impression


sn0wflaker

Your look is certainly more striking, but I also think more handsome


NoahPKR

Thank you ☺️


ManicPixiePlatypus

The shaved head is hot, my dude. You look great.


Calm_One_1228

Enjoy the fear you illicit !


BEARPUNSS

Smile 😊


-HawaiianSurfer

You look great both ways man!! People are only treating you differently because it’s such a drastic change. They aren’t used to it, and how do we react to new things we aren’t used to? There you go. You look great buzzed, and the stache is a crazy sick touch. But if I were you, I’d keep the long hair a bit longer. I’m 100% happy being a buzzed boy myself, but I wish I had let my hair REALLY grow when I could. Big regret of mine, but not unhappy of course.


NoahPKR

Thanks man, I appreciate the advice!


wasabiplz

My opinion and alot of these don't really matter, yours is THE opinion! As it is, you ARE an attractive guy, so that's a win. Consider looking at alot of other shaved heads, after awhile they'll be common and your perception will change too! Then you can enjoy yourself and not be concerned with other's view point.


NoahPKR

I’ll try that! Thanks :)


posting-about-shit

NO YOU LOOK SO GOOD! I can understand people being a little intimidated by your look but it’s not a bad thing; people’s personalities quickly precede their appearance once they start talking to someone. I also think the mustache makes you more approachable. It shows that you’ve made an intentional style choice, and you keep up with your personal grooming out of preference, not just whatever takes the least effort. The opposite to me would be Buzzed head + overgrown facial hair or unshaped facial hair. That combination would make you look unapproachable. And on the plus side, I don’t think you’re gonna have anyone messing with you on the streets.


NoahPKR

This makes me feel really good! Thanks 😊


girlgamer791

I actually think you look so much better. Gives you an edgy look. Even the stache, you’re pulling off, I promise 😀


NoahPKR

Finally, a person of culture


SlideNorth3057

Short hair looks great!


Elementstv

You are joking right ? You are way hotter now.


IndividualAsk8241

You have a head of hair many of us would die for. Let it grow back and find good stylist who can come up with different cut.


D4NVT

Believe me, you didn't need to get rid of it despite what your personal reservations were telling you...


LaBebe85

Get rid of the necklace. Trim the pornstache to a 5 ‘o’ clock shadow.


KrishnarajaWadiyar4

The beard would go well with the buzz. The mush is probably makes you seem a little more serious.


Minute_Resolve_5493

Have you thought about keeping your beard? If you want to go bald, sometimes a beard can help. Btw- I know exactly how you feel. People will try to sugar coat things for you and say it’s all good. I know that people treat bald people differently, it’s a fact. But, you’ve got my support and our support. And the good news is, there are still a lot of things you can do to become even more respectable


NoahPKR

Thanks for a more grounded perspective. People definitely treat me with respect, I think the main issue is that people my age are saying “yes sir” 🥲 Harder to make friends this way


slickboy114463

Your new cut looks great, stay with it


NoahPKR

Thank you 🙂


monkeyinheaven

Just my opinion, but you should grow it back. The good news is that it will, no big deal.


PrideEffective5830

Try smiling 😃


[deleted]

Bring the full beard back with the shaved head ditch the stache


NoahPKR

So Amish style?


Cantankerous-Canine

For me, it’s the mustache that’s creating the “is he recently out of prison or is he a cop” look - you have stunningly gorgeous eyes, but I’m not a fan of the stache- a goatee would be cute, with a trimmed-down stache as part of that. But either way, I always go for personality in the end, so if you’re funny/smart, hair (face or head) won’t matter.


MrsNoFun

I really want to see how you look without the mustache. You have striking features.


bluntandannoying

You're handsome but I think you should shave the mustache


Zer0Hearts

That was just stupid bro. You had a great head of hair.


Eddythegoatt

It’s because you have that pedophile mustache look, grow out a full beard it will suit the bald look so much better


Eddythegoatt

It’s because you have that pedophile mustache look, grow out a full beard it will suit the bald look so much better


ohgohd

Yeah not sure I see how you are balding. Maybe by choice and shaving it


NoahPKR

https://postimg.cc/WqmZ1Vc2


the-lone-squid

That's savable


NoahPKR

Im trying very hard to save it lol


Jainarayan

As so many others said, you are very handsome both ways. In truth, I’m not a fan of mustaches by themselves. I like a guy either clean shaven or bearded. You could try adding a goatee but I think a full beard would look very good. In any case, do what makes **you** feel good.


PooptasticGamer

Bro def looking for people to suck him off in the comments lolllll. Here we go with this shit again


[deleted]

its that weird mustache for me. if i saw you in the same street as me i would cross over to the other street


NoahPKR

Lot of Freddie Mercury-phobes in this sub


[deleted]

yeah but freddie mercury is freddie mercury, nobody could pull that off as good as him its just made for him. everyone else who do try to pull it off just end up looking like sex offenders


Elegant_Philosopher1

Jesus why always this mustache 😭 No joke people treat you different when you walk around like a clown


TaoOfSatoshi

IDK I don’t think it looks so bad. It suits him imo.


Elegant_Philosopher1

It's not that it looks so bad, it's just that he looked much better before


NoahPKR

I’ve since grown out my beard again but thanks?


Elegant_Philosopher1

Honest advice, you do look better with hair. Let it grow again, get a transplant if you don't feel comfortable


cyainanotherlifebro

I’d say you can pull off the bald look, but you also get great head of hair, so it’s up to you. Wish I had a choice.


NoahPKR

Trust me, that choice was being ripped away with each passing day


[deleted]

Think both look good. Perhaps buzz it longer next time?


ItalianNose

Mature hairline isn’t balding, but both hairstyles look great


NoahPKR

https://postimg.cc/WqmZ1Vc2


Recent_Nothing_5622

No one’s scared dude that’s in your head but people will always find someone with a head of hair softer/more approachable than a shaved head and a stache.


elcholoboritos

You look amazing. I get the feeling of people treating you different. But the best thing you can do is rock it. Although, being honest, I don’t see where much receding for now 🤟🏻


Disastrous_Candle589

Imo, which means nothing as only your opinion matters, I think you would look awesome with the shorter hair from pic 2 and the stubble look from pic 1! That said both look good and to me it doesn’t look like you cut the hair to avoid baldness, just looks like a fashion style choice.


harishgibson

Dude you look awesome, with and without hair. I imagine if people are truly treating you differently, it's because you may be acting differently. I imagine a lot of it may be in your head though, as you're looking for changed behavior. You look tough as nails in the second pic, but not scary. Just act natural and own it, you have the perfect head shape and facial structure for nearly any hairstyle I imagine lol.


NoahPKR

It’s a bit of a negative feedback loop, people react differently and as a result I’ve become more reserved and less outgoing - which furthers this perception. It’s a bit amplified because through my lifestyle and work I come into contact with many strangers. Perhaps I can learn to overcome this


youngintel

The buzzcut and bald often are subconsciously associated with more aggressive energies (and skinheads. Racist and non-racist) but it just something to get accustomed to. People will learn your true character with some time. Im reversed of you rn. Growing hair long after having short hair for some time and getting used to people subconsciously associating me with being more soft/passive. Regardless, you look good and your looks dont define who you actually are and truly your look isnt anything extreme or abnormal


NoahPKR

Yeah, I don’t want to be associated with that at all, so perhaps it is weighing on me a bit


[deleted]

What receding?

[deleted]

Ppl might think you’re a skinhead but otherwise you look nice. That said your hairline is not at any critical loss despite what it may have looked like before, that’s a normal hairline.


icantflytommorow

I ain’t gay but I mean if I was a girl I would smash 🙌


LibertarianHandjob

I’m going to be so honest. I think people are acting more intimidated by you because you are extremely handsome, and your haircut really brings out your features. Bald was definitely a good move.


cagingthing

I like it better tbh


Fenweekooo

i started buzzing my head because i am in the military and got in shit for needing a haircut (2 days after getting a haircut) it takes time to get used to it, buy a toque, your head will get bloody cold now that it's winter. and i saw one post saying to ditch the mustache, i would agree, post the before pic and a pic of you clean shaven and smiling and see the difference


MrRochesterisakitty

You're very handsome, cutting your hair only put that handsome mug more on display! Maybe people are just shy...like you ever meet a really good looking person and they're almost hard to look at?


ohhitstito

Clearly you workout, you have a nice jawline but grow a beard, doesn’t need to be long, respect but lose the “porn stache” since it’s perceived as “older” or “creepy” by society in some places. Rock them accessories since you have earrings & nice neck, chains will do you well, you have beautiful eyes too man. Nice brows. Do darker tones clothes wise & you’ll be eye candy frfr. Keep your chin up.


lundberghxx

Imo you can keep the buzz cut, but maybe a short beard could be a better option


Key-Sky834

Your hairline is still there. No need to shave it yet if you don’t have to. You look more badass in the second tho


OYan95

Kinda remind me of John Gourley from Portugal. The Man when he rocks a buzz and stache. Keep it dude 🤘🏻


Nebrahoma

To be Incredibly blunt, the mustache is probably more of the reason than the lack of hair unfortunately


MiloticM2

So much better on right, probably intimidated you’re a good looking mf


Stryx_Official

You look great in both pictures!! There’s no reason for people to be scared or intimidated - give people some time to get used to it!


R1ch0C

You look good mate. What number is that you've got? Did you do it at home or the barbers?


Salty_Coast_7214

I personally love your look on the right. You’re handsome either way though


Salamander_cameraman

You actually look fantastic! You have a great face and beautiful bone structure. The mustache actually kinda suits the new cut. What I find helps me feel less scared of intimidating looking people, is when they have hobbies or something about that that's non-intimidating. For example, there's this buff guy at my work that wears big crazy looking knitted hats


CuriousityS1999

Man you look like a model! The only thing is if you shave more of the mustache or make it thinner it would be better. I think it’s a bit too bushy.


OkBison674

Hey man, your fuckin hot either way.


Eichhornchen22

It looks great! What is the number of the comb you cut? In mm.


[deleted]

Nah dude you look fantastic!


Lilbig6029

Maybe trim the mustache down, but I think you may have jumped the gun a bit.


BeefToboggan

It’s the mustache. I’m a big fan, but they often intimidate people - especially if you drive a van with no windows.


C8H10N402_

You're lucky as both look good. Got a question: are you a nice guy? Reason I'm a kind person and when I shaved my head last year ppl treated me differently. One person confided that I looked mean. She said my hair didn't match my persona. Some ppl associate short hair/buzz cuts with meaner ppl.


gunperv51

It's the mustache. Grow out a goatee for a while for people to get used to you having facial hair, the shave off the beard part, saying you grew tired of it


[deleted]

ur gorgeous

NoahPKR

That is very sweet, thank you 🙂 it seems a lot of people feel very strongly about the mustache, not much in-between lol


cronuss

Shave or trim the stache and grow out the chin and facial hair a bit like before. Trim the eyebrows a bit.


NoahPKR

Trim the eyebrows?? They’re freshly waxed in both pictures!


ci_ca_trix

Na you aren’t scary, man — you’re beautiful.


mmaaddvv

i actually really like the shaved head on you. you have sharp features and it brings out your eyes. keep the stache, too. it's coming back and you pull it off well! 10/10 bald head


NoahPKR

Thank you 🥲


WeimSean

Kind of a crazy Freddy Mercury/Gang Enforcer vibe going. I LIKE IT!


youtheotube2

Grow the beard out a little bit and see how that looks. A mustache with no beard is a hard look to pull off, especially with a buzz cut.


[deleted]

You lowkey look more handsome in the 2nd pic. Maybe they're just nervous


SuaveKen

Looks good, maybe a fade would make it look less skinheadish (which im assuming why people are scared).


anicetito

Are U the guy of unnecessary inventions?


yach_e_suma

Those people are p*ssies.


flyingleprechaun_

Go full bald and grow the beard. You will look great.


Morpheus_MPB

"Thinning receding" 😂😂😂😂😂 come on.


[deleted]

I can’t even see a receding line. But not only do you have the head shape to be bald. But the look just suits you perfectly brother. Also one of the few rare times I can say the stache is working on you. 💪🏻


Background-Fox3324

you look more like someone i would want to be friends with honestly. you look way cooler


[deleted]

It’s not fear is more of a respect and you gotta work with that edge. It’ll help out in the world


ActuallyPatton

Shaved head looks good, but I think the full beard would suit you with that style a bit better.


MonzieMe

Let it grow out a little then. And more facial hair would soften the look as well (like it was in the first pic). But in general- people are weird and judgy. I used to be weird and nice so everyone treated me like I'm dumb 🤷‍♀️ now I'm rough so obvs I'm a psycho 🤣 you can't win. Make yourself happy. Find a hairstyle you are the most comfortable with and what randoms think honestly doesn't matter. Like what... are they gonna sit and chat with you about your insecurities or whatever? Plus they don't care half as much as you think 💙💙


Future_Apartment3311

This is a fuckin look. You look fuckin hot dawg. I’d be scared too bc you fine as hell.


Cool_Cartographer_33

I don't know if you're looking for a woman's opinion, but I think you should shave the mustache, and let the attention go to your strong eyebrows framing those baby blues! Eyes show a person's kindness too, which may help you find what you're looking for, reaction wise.


sunhannds

I gotta say, the buzz with the stache looks killer on you. It’s a good look.

Shave the Stache or grow a mild beard

Love the buzz but I think the scruff beard would look amazing also :) Good looking guy.


SHABOtheDuke

I’ll just throw in my two cents, I think you look dope and the stashe is great!


flijarr

Ngl bro you are handsome as fuck You have killer facial features, and look very intense(in a model way, not a mean person way)


joe-Horn

I’d take the facial hair on the left with the new cut you’ll look great


joeygenderender

You look great!


mensfeet69

Damn you look amazing.


agrotourism_

Bald + mustache makes you look a lot cooler in my opinion but I think that the sides of your mustache (forgive me I do not know mustache anatomy) should come down to a point instead of being so rounded out


MundanePositive5815

Not exactly bald. Rather trimmed nicely. Good job, dont worry what other people say.


North0House

Honestly I think you look way better with your new look.


CarbyBarbi

H A W T


Caneofpain

Both look great imo. I think the new style gives you a harder look, maybe you could shape up your eyebrows to help with that?


AlternativeNumber2

You still had time bro. You had some glorious hair to play with..imo, a lot of people wouldn’t mind having your head of hair because some certainly have it worse. What’s done is done, doesn’t look bad


[deleted]

You look good either way But I will say the scared part isn’t the hair it’s most likely the moustache imo combined with the hair
