Seat68 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Fat and bald and recently had my head reshaved. Apologised to my barber, not sure his response was supposed to make me feel better or it all got lost in translation. “You don’t smell”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I am so short sighted I have to guess what my barber has done to my hair before putting my glasses back. Some amount of trust is needed. I mean they could be doing anything back there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 1 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1 My late life crisis has now extended beyond the baseball cap to long hair - which has now reached ponytail length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had thick hair, kind of known for it among family & friends, and seeing it slowly disappear is, I cannot lie, more than a bit jarring. My wife had a major health crisis last year and it definitely accelerated my hair’s retreat I absolutely do not have a scalp that would look good bald, it’s more like a topographic map I started going bald at 22. At 58 you really shouldnt give a shit. Just shave it off and be done with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not far off that to be fair. Luckily another advantage of being bald is haircuts take about 45 seconds so it’s not a long term problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to get respite from that, you can pop in to off topic where it's politics, anger about murders, arguements about racism, trans issues, things that aren't trans issues but are a bit like it, and now religion is on the menu Someone bump up a dozen topics about shite music to calm things down 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
