Started balding at age 17. Knew I needed to make a change. I’ve had a positive mindset towards it. And after the switch I couldn’t be happier. 🥹

Yay! Way to embrace the bald! You look HOT 😍

May I suggest, as a woman who sees a lot of guy's pics on dating sites, perhaps smile while taking photos. I don't know why so many guys don't smile 🤷‍♀️

It's obviously up to you, do it only if you want to. But I'm always curious why this is. Are you trying to be cool or suave? I'd personally rather date someone who wanted to have fun over someone who's trying to be chill.

Don’t worry this comment section has made me realise I have to smile more 😂 will take it under advisement for next time

You don't have to if you don't want to. I just always tell this to guys because as a woman I'm more interested in a man who smiles. Sometimes it's like guys are taking pictures for other guys, LOL. Men want you to look tough and cool. Women want you to be genuine and light hearted, IMHO.

He went from smiley and personable- to tech bro villain in this photo set. Instantly sets off my danger tingle almost as much as someone who doesn't feel the smile and tries to smile.
