On the one hand, if surgery and/or various enhancements are an effective tool to give someone more confidence, and it’s not really directly hurting anybody else, then my opinion is go for it.

To me, shorter men are hot, the size of your penis is pretty much irrelevant (bigger is not always better), and bald/balding/shaved heads are the bees knees. I mention the dick and the head o’ hair because those are, in my experience, two other areas where men are commonly insecure.

Obviously I admit that as a gay man, my view on things may be different than that of a typical heterosexual woman. But overall, I really wish guys didn’t feel the need to obsess over things like their height.

I don’t have a link right now, and probably won’t bother to go looking, but I was scrolling through posts a few days ago and saw one with a guy, who I would consider good looking, mentioned his height and weight. I clicked into the comments, and literally like the second most upvoted one in there referred to him as short. He was 5 feet 9 inches (a bit over 175 cm). Granted, it wasn’t a derogatory comment if I recall correctly, but just the fact that it referred to a very average height as short really caught my attention. Now imagine if the guy was sensitive about his height and what that might do to his confidence.

Balding is fine, but to me, shaved head with a beard is kinda gross. I’d prefer the Homer Simpson hairdo to the weird hairless rat with a beard combination.

Bezos may have ruined shaved heads for me.

What about Patrick Stewart?
That ain’t shaved

I think you might be confusing the word “shaved” with some other word.

“Balding is fine, but to me, shaved head with a beard is kinda gross”

PStew doesn’t shave his head. It’s all baldness baby

No one escapes the horse shoe unless they have alopecia (shout out to Jordan Walsh, we’ll miss ya buddy!)

Patrick Stewart most definitely shaves his head and has since I think he was 19(?) he talks about it in his memoir.

19 is when he was bald as if you’re talking make it so. He started losing it at 17.
