On Balding

I have come to a conclusion recently:

Black men can pull off a shaved head without glasses. In fact, with glasses it seems… not as appealing as without them
White men cannot pull off the bald head look without glasses. With glasses it looks good, no glasses just doesn’t work

That is one thing you can’t get away from when it comes to race: What a man looks good in. I mean, you have so many things to take into account. Especially with suits and tuxes.

If I was going bald I would totally do the ’shaved head with glasses’ look instead of trying for a comb over. Although if genetics serves me right I will go gray instead of bald. Not sure if I would dye my hair or not… I guess if it was single strands of gray mixed in with brown i would look i would dye it… Kinda depends on how ‘respectable’ I look with the gray.

I should go work at Macy’s in the suit department. Some of the guys there have to be the most amazing people I have ever met when it comes to menswear. I was picking out a tie a few months ago and was unsure about what color to get. I had the best customer service experience of my life and I came home with a kickass tie at just the right price. It even works with both a blue collared shirt and a white one with the same suitcoat. The same tie with two colors. I sent Macy’s an email saying how awesome my tie is. Hopefully that guy got a raise.

Try getting that kind of service at Target.
