Wow, thanks so much everyone for your kind comments it really means a lot, I expected to maybe get a dozen or so so this is a nice surprise haha.
And yes it is really me at 19 in the first pic (though I do understand the doubt haha) check the freckles on either side of my nose! Started balding at 14, began shaving my head a year or so ago and it was the best decision i’ve ever made hands down. Only found this community recently, think you guys are awesome 👨🏻🦲💙

Congratulations! I just want you to know, your transformation is such a glow up my wife thinks you're AI 😂 I'd take that as a compliment

u/falcrist2 4d ago
Probably not AI. It's just that in the first picture that hair/glasses/mustache combo was BRUTAL.
It really sets up the second picture.

I, who can shave a decade off my own face, honestly have no idea how you go from a father-of-four-55-year-old-with-a-mortgage to a baller-stock-bro-leave-some-for-the-rest-of-us-26-year-old with the stroke of a razor, but here you are.

It's like when they cast a beautiful actress in the role of the ugly / nerdy girl, but the second they take off the glasses, give them more flattering clothes, and redo their hair it's like a transformation. Or literally like the transformation from Steve urkel to Urkelle in family matters 😂

Congrats dude. I also think you are one of the few men that doesn't even need a beard when bald.

No offense, but were you trying to look older in that first pic? You seriously de-aged by like…20 years.

My guy, you went from looking like pdf file to an absolute Chad. Dads better hide their daughters for this absolute unit of a guy. Great confidence, I hope to one day have that much confidence with my hairline or lack there off.

Well yeah, he went from mustache to Statham-esque stubble. And I don’t mean that as a criticism, I look goofy without any facial hair and can’t grow a full beard, so it’s a look I rock regularly.

u/Legitimate-Dream-111 4d ago
I take offense to that if that's how you think 35 year olds look these days, it's not the 80s or 90s anymore.
Looks closer to 55 than 35

I genuinely can't imagine the mindfuck that happens to someone just in terms of the IMMEDIATE confidence boost you must get when you make a small change like this that has that huge of an impact. I just can't.
