    The only time I don’t have a baseball cap on is when I’m home. Every day when I leave the house I put on a hat and down take it off until I’m home in the evening. Most people that aren’t close friends or family have never seen me without a hat before and I’ve had lots of people ask me what my hair even looks like. I think some people assume I’m balding or something but I just love having a hat on, I feel naked without it. It’s like a belt or watch, I need one on if I’m not home.

        It’s honestly the opposite issue actually. My hair is longer on top than the side, but it’s so thick it’s unwieldy. I have to get it thinned every time I go to the barber. I started wearing a hat because it was too difficult to style and now I’m so used to it I always need a hat on.

          As a bald man fuck you.

          But nah that’s a pain, I used to have to get the back of my hair thinned but then well before going bald I shaved it so if I hated it I had time do try something.

          But I like being bald I want to get Lazar hair removal on my head cause shaving is a pain in the arse.

          Especially the back now that I have a kid i don’t have time so if I don’t stay on top of the daily shave it becomes such a chore to do properly but the top no longer realy grows so it’s a mess

            When I start to bald I definitely want to fully commit and go cue ball. I’ll probably consider laser hair removal too.

              They told me that wouldn’t do lazer on my head because it’s dangerous or something a couple years back.

              Sometimes I have to be clean shaven for work and a bald head and no facial hair isn’t a great look on me, in my opinion but no one has said it looked terrible

        Yeah, I’m aware of how it sounds. Whenever I eventually start to go bald though I’m committing to it and going full cue ball head. I’m going to wait for either Halloween or April Fools, whichever is nearer, then shave off just the top for fun. Then commit a few days later.

      I didn’t really get the feeling, cause I will sometimes wear a hat when it’s super sunny, or I haven’t shaved my head in a few days and feeling lazy. But when you mentioned a watch, I got it. I can’t remember the last time I went out without one. It and some wood beads are the only jewelry I wear, and the beads are still kinda new so I sometimes forget and don’t feel any sort of way about them. But I feel strange without a watch on, I’ve been wearing interesting looking mechanical watches since I can remember.

        Interesting looking mechanical watches are my jam! I’m mostly into vintage these days but any mechanical watch will at least intrigue me. Got any pictures? I’d love to see your collection.

      I tend to procrastinate getting haircuts. No reason, I just think I’ll get one next week and next thing I know it’s been 6 months. Those last few months I’ll wear a hat to keep my hair out of my face. So if it wasn’t for hats I’d probably get my hair cut way more often lol.

        I hate getting a haircut. No idea why, and it doesn’t matter who does it. Sometimes I go to a barber, sometimes my wife does it. Either way I hate getting it done. I still try to do it every 4-6 weeks or so.
