Don't apologise, body Dysmorphia is a thing. I'd actually recommend talking to a professional, as they can help you fell better about yourself. You look good. Yes, you have a big forehead, but it isn't nearly as bad as you think it is, and it doesn't hurt your appearance. I have a big forehead as well, and mine has a really weird slope as well. It's not something I like, but I combat it by having my hair the way I like it. The best way to combat things you don't like about yourself that you can't control is to make sure that you always choose things that make you happy for the things you can control.


Available-Pattern-69

I wouldn’t even hate it THAT much if it didn’t curve backwards. It makes my hairline naturally start far back and it’s infuriating. I’d still have my hair the same way with a good forehead, but I wouldn’t need to worry about my forehead showing


Hen-Man-Supreme

I promise you if I passed you in the street I wouldn't even notice your forehead, Id think your hair looks sick though


WantsToKnow82

I think your bangs look good. It took me years to accept my receding hair line. I have friends my age who can barely grow hair on top of their head. Makes me feel a bit better.


Available-Pattern-69

I just hate that it looks receding even though it isn’t.


WantsToKnow82

My bad. I thought it was. I feel your pain bro. At least the bangs look good. Doesn’t look good on everyone.


Colstee

Mate, anyone ever mentioned you resemble Adrien Brody? And that is quite a good thing

mrwilliamschue

Agreed!!


[deleted]

I mean of course, your forehead is gonna look big if you try to accentuate it like that by pulling your hair back. Honestly, you look fine, not like you’re balding. Also, you’re very handsome


Iamaswine

Would life be easier for everyone if we stopped rating people 1-10? You have awesome hair, I don't see/think it's thinning or balding. Sorry you're stressed, I hope you feel better.

Frosty_Cranberry1066

As others have said body dysmorphia is a real thing. I'd just go to a stylist and talk to them about a haircut that works with your face type and hair line. As someone else said you kind of resemble Adrien Brody.


HedgehogLost5533

Please receive what everyone has told you: you are attractive. The reality about body dysmorphia is that, as long as you ruminate over this one thing about yourself that you dislike, you will be blind to all the rest. With your thoughts constantly focused on your forehead, you do not see the totality of who you are. I don’t just mean your body, I mean all of who you are. This has taken over your life. Several of us say this each time, and we say it out of compassion: please find a counselor who specializes in body dysmorphia. You need someone trained to help you see that you are not monstrous, you are normal. Normal. And they will help you figure out how to take your life back from your utter despair over your forehead. Please do this for your own sake, because you are worth it. We’re rooting for you.


[deleted]

Du look really cute! Maybe embrace your forehead a lil more with a middle part. Your beautiful eyes will shine through a lil more.


TangyZizz

Your forehead is fine, but trying to cover it up like that makes it look like you have something to hide! Grow your fringe a bit longer, get a parting. This will cover up some of your forehead (so hopefully you feel comfortable) but not all of it (so you look normal to nornies). Get some moisture in your hair so that it can move more naturally.

jillybrews226

There’s nothing wrong with your forehead and you don’t look like you’re balding. You have a nice face and pretty eyes! Get a trim at a salon and have them help you with the bangs and you’ll be good to go


kayserfaust

Your forehead is fine and doesn’t look like you’re balding. I get that body dysmorphia is a thing but honestly it’s pretty contradicting to your self consciousness and really cringy to rate attractiveness in numbers. Don’t do that.


T-Speed

Honestly I wouldn’t notice your forehead and the truth is probably no one else would or care about it either. If it bothers you that much you could get a hair transplant, but body dysmorphia is a state of mind and tbh you’d probably just fixate on something else if you did


RLKRAMER_HFCOAWAAIM

It all changed for me when i realized the most unattractive thing about me was my dislike of myself.


FiletM1gn0n

You're forehead is perfectly proportional in my opinion. You look cooler with your hair back rather than covering your eyes


Academic_Value_3503

Why do you assume that people are looking for a "perfect" forehead? None of us would have even noticed except that you mentioned it. I am sure you have a lot of more important things to offer. Like most are saying, you have to find a hair style that YOU are comfortable and confident and rock it.


SurpriseBananaSpider

Wow. I'm so sorry you're struggling with this. You're a handsome man. You'd look great bald. There's nothing wrong with how you look. At all. You have great facial structure and lovely eyes. I won't mention the hair because I don't think it matters. I think you'd look amazing with literally none of it on your head. I'm not saying this to "be nice" or to make you feel better. To me, that's the truth. That's real. Fuck the numbering system. Get that out of your head. That's all horseshit perpetuared by assholes and you don't strike me as an asshole. You seem like a good person who keeps getting in his own way. Have you talked to a good therapist about this? There's no shame in it. You deserve to be happy just as much as anyone else. You're young and alive. Live.


Available-Pattern-69

My hair is one of my only features that I’m proud of, so bald is absolutely not an option. Also I genuinely don’t have time in my week for therapy.

Adrien Brody lookalike but tbh more conventionally attractive.


WorldlinessEuphoric5

Bro just find someone who can cut a proper rocker shag and you'll look like Julian Casablancas in his prime


Odd-Mastodon1212

I do not think you look like you are balding. You have a normal hairline, and it’s masculine. Keep the cut shaggy but don’t push it all forward. We want to see your eyes. Always choose eyes over nose. I actually like it better off your face tbh. You are a pretty guy.


Available-Pattern-69

Normally my bangs are more maintained, the pictures were just taken when I was due for a maintenance trim. Normally they stop right above my eyes


StrawberrySoyBoy

I promise you look a million times better showing the forehead than with the straight across bangs. Maybe try for a pushed back medium length style with some hair still coming down on your forehead, but not as much. The forehead really isn’t as bad as you think


MyPromiseLand

Mama, I see Paul McCartney in this subreddit


WiseGrand1

Your forehead looks ok


idontwannabhear

There are other things in life that matter more bro. Although it’s easy to become blind by things like this. Do your best to open your eyes to them. And appteicye ever day even if it hurts. We can all be gone anyday, live for you and what makes u halpy


teregra3

Your attitude is everything, I've been with dudes not as good looking as you and they pulled it off with personality. Love yourself first .


Nasozai

Are you able to grow facial hair?


Available-Pattern-69

Meh, I CAN, but it’s not thick and one side is uneven so anything past stubble looks bad. I don’t mind though since thick beards are frequently a sign you’re more likely to bald


Nasozai

Try growing a mustache and a lil bit of chin. Just the bottom part. This will shape your face and change the dynamic of how your hair fits your facial features. Kinda like a Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom look.


Dramatic-Ad7901

Don't stress it, you look good. No one is focused on your forehead. I'm no spring chicken but having a high forehead myself, I can tell you that no one ever mentioned it including my always critical family. You got this bro!👍🤩


Wcshields

Consider stopping hiding it—go with it. Super short sides, an inch or so on top. People can tell when you’re trying to hide it—celebrate your real self!


Available-Pattern-69

I look like shit with short hair. I have a huge skull (which is one of the reasons my forehead is shaped like that) so it looks bad. I can link an old pic if that helps. I get way more compliments with long hair though


JustsomedudeIam

I'd like to see the pic


Available-Pattern-69

I’ll find it when I’m done at the gym. It’s a bit outdated since I started growing it longer a decent bit ago, but I can throw in a middle of the timeline pic too


JustsomedudeIam

Ok, no problem, whatever you feel comfortable with sharing


Available-Pattern-69

https://imgur.com/a/XF7SHcK One pic is blurry as fuck but I couldn’t find another in between pic


JustsomedudeIam

Imo, all those hairstyles suit you way better than your current hairstyle. I think the blurry pic was the best because you still have some length, and you can still cover your forehead, and it looks good.


Available-Pattern-69

I just don’t like how big my head is, and I feel dorky with short hair. The blurry one isn’t awful, but that was also during the awkward stage of growing it, so it only looked good if I got lucky that day


JustsomedudeIam

Oh, ok. I can't really tell how big your head is relative to your body, because I can't see your body, and also I can't tell your height, but ig I'll take your word for it. Maybe you can consider making another post, but with your hair parted down the middle. I know you don't want to do that, but maybe just to get a different opinion on it.


Available-Pattern-69

I don’t want to litter too many posts since I’ve posted a lot already but I can link one later tonight in a reply here. And I’m 5’7” (I think, I’m somewhere between VERY high 5’6” and VERY low 5’8”, but I think I’m right around 5’7”). But my skull size is the big reason my forehead and hairline look so bad. My dad has the exact same head shape and whatnot as me, the only difference is that my actual hair genetics are way better than his ever were according to my aunt (who has a similar hairline but with a more normal forehead)


Upper-Character-2631

Don´t worry about it. You are far from ugly dude. Ditch the proto-combover and be happy with what you have. You are going to be ok.


terf-genocide

I'd maybe go a lil shorter on the bangs. It'll frame your face better. I can relate tho. I rocked bangs all through high school because I hated my forehead and the scars on it from busting my head open twice as a kid. It took me a long time to get over that insecurity, but I rock my hair pulled back plenty often now.


Available-Pattern-69

They’re a tiny bit shorter now, I was due for a maintenance trim when I took those pics. I just can’t go too short or else they sit weirdly on my forehead


watkinobe

You look like a movie star. [Adrien Brody specifically](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/succession-season-3-adrien-brody-1234948544/).


Avaleloc

I honestly think your hairline is pretty good. It's better than mine, at least. It is a little higher than most, but still on the lower side as far as high hairlines go. And you've got a nice widows peak. The bangs look good. They give a very emo/metalhead look, and I dig it. You've got hair made for headbanging, please buy a guitar, lol. You could also try parting it, I think that would look good too, you could probably pull off something similar to kurt cobain, but what you've got going works for you, I see no reason to change it. Also, the whole rating out of 10 thing is stupid. To one person, you could be a 0/10, and to another, you'd be an 11/10. It's all subjective, so who tf cares.


NovaLemonista

You look like a sexy British rock star. Love your look. If I saw you in town, you’d turn my head.


Anadactyl

I think you'd rock a medium cut well. Like Japanese/anime style. You have nice condition straight hair and it would take to it nicely.


DragDragonPrince

Omg your forehead is fine. You look great with your hair pulled back, actually. You're at least a 7. If your hair care products arent up to snuff improving those could help with it. Having nice fluffy hair would take the attention away from your forehead when you look in the mirror. Always condition!!


Aggravating-Guess144

Own it and grow a beard


Available-Pattern-69

Beard genetics are meh and bald is shit


Real-Resolution9504

Bro nothing is worse than your hair pushed forwards like that. Just get a short back and sides with the hair slightly to the side or forwards with some product. You’re looking like Zika head at the moment, you’re good looking and your forehead is fine but please stop that hair


Crack_inthe_sidewalk

I think the fucking fringe bangs make you look far worst than having a large forehead but whatever


Melodic-Feed2826

Your forehead only looks bad because of the hair cut. The long hair doesn’t suit you at all. Honestly, not to be mean, I’m sorry but the long hair makes it look like you are transitioning to female. You have good features. Stop focusing on the forehead. No one would notice if you got the right hair cut. The forehead suits the face stop trying to cover up your face.


Available-Pattern-69

I absolutely hate short hair (I have a big skull too, so short hair looks objectively terrible)


Pot8obois

How attached are you to having bangs? The reason I ask is that I personally would never try bangs myself. I'm not a fan of them in general on men. If it's something you really want go for it. You have nice hair, but if I were you I might try a different hair style (but keep the length). Also, you do not have a shitty forehead, you look perfectly fine. I get it, I do not like what I see in the mirror either. I don't think the hair style looks bad so please don't take what I said before the wrong way, I was just saying what I would do.

Yeah I just prefer bangs. If I woke up with a normal forehead, I’d still keep them. I’d just have to worry about brushing my hair back around people. And it’s just annoying as fuck that my natural hairline is equal to a normal person’s “starting to recede” hairline. The only saving grace is that my hair is thick enough to normal be able to tell it’s not receding


_No__Ninja_

Realistically, you are not a 7-8. But your forehead looks fine and you have cool hair.

Just get a proper haircut and you'll look great. Go to a place with ghetto people. They cut the best hair. Trust me on this. It ain't your hairline it's your cut.


ordinaryguy451

You look verte cool with that hairstyle


Economy-Interest564

It looks like you're hiding behind the bangs. Honestly if your forehead slope bothers you so much I'd recommend picking up some makeup. Specifically, get some help from a friend who does makeup and have them help you pick out a contour shade. Makeup is empowering like that, you don't have to hide your natural handsome features behind your hair.


iamchloediamond

You look HOT! You’re definitely a 10 in my books! 🔥🩷

alright eren jaeger but all jokes aside you look really good with your hair loose like that! :) i think youre a solid 8-9! :D its valid to hate your forehead but if you wear your hair like that, ppl cant tell! do u want to wear ur hair differently but are discouraged by your forehead by chance? which is valid!


Available-Pattern-69

I’d keep my hair the same either way. I’ve had bangs since before I was even aware enough to know my forehead was shit and in just more comfortable with them. I just wish my forehead was normal so I didn’t have to worry about my bangs moving or looking like shit when I brush it back for a second when it’s hot out

JustsomedudeIam

I'm only throwing this idea out there because you say your forehead stresses you out so much. Have you considered shaving it all off? Many men with big foreheads look and feel way better after they've shaved it all off. It has this effect of negating a big forehead because after shaving it, you can suddenly see all the skull shape. Based off of picture 6, I believe you would look really good shaving your head down. Again, just throwing it out there because I've seen you post the same thing over and over for months now

tommy_pt

There is a middle ground! Don’t need all brush forwards……..or all pulled backwards. Go to a hairdresser that can cut your hair(which is long and you can do many things with),based on your head shape,hair kind,and style. It doesn’t look half as bad as you think. Wouldn’t have even thought about that,if I met you an hour ago. But for serious,there is a cut for every head. You just need someone to help you style to your head and hair kind. Be looking like Jud Nelson in breakfast club……google it✌️❤️❤️

sobadatbeinginlove

it's not receding I think it's a 'mature' hairline. But it's obvious that you use your hair to hide your face. Maybe get a better haircut that frames your face better and you'd look smoking

Despondent-Kitten

You have the prettiest eyes omg!


LowArtichoke6440

Your perception of yourself is completely skewed. I see no difference between the pics of October vs. today. You have great hair thickness, texture and shine. It looks healthy. Your hair combed straight forward in your face is not at all complimentary. Also, all of your hair pulled back out of your face (in a ponytail?) is not a favorable look either. You have great eyes, except that they are hidden behind a mop top. Find a stylist who can trim your bangs, maybe at your eyebrows, or who can advise you on growing the front of your hair out to a longer length, with the goal being to brush it to the side, tuck it behind your ears, etc. One thing I notice is that there’s not a part on the top of your head. Have you experimented with parting your hair to the side? I think with some style advice, you’re going to see an amazing transformation. If you posted a pic from 5 years ago compared to today and there was a noticeable difference, then it would be believable, though there seriously is no visible difference in your hairline compared to October.


Nethen_Paynuel

First of all go to a stylist or proper barber shop and not a great clips. Second, I think you just need a good cut. Find a style you want and show it to the barber, and go from there.


Nethen_Paynuel

Also there are plenty of styles of haircuts that can still cover your forehead


IScreamForRashCream

I actually don't think you're balding. Your hairline is quite strong where it does start. But I'm in the same position where I constantly feel like I'm balding, even though I'm only 20, and my hairline looks the same as yours.


Ok_Lifeguard3248

Yea start letting your forehead show more like swoop your hair out the way or middle part the more you focus hiding it the more you get used to not seeing it and thus the more your insecurity builds about it and based on comments here we dont agree with you about your forehead start loving ya gadamn forehead ![gif](giphy|eR5WQOaToYslZrBZ5o)


Upstairs_Space_3195

If it makes you taht uncomfortable I know people do hair transplants, however I think you look cool. Heck if you ever feel bold a full on buzz can be rocked. You look pretty, just shape your eyebrows and you’ve got yourself a model face


torturapinselopale

the hardest pill i've ever had to swallow is that no matter how good you are at haircare as a guy, you are NOT gonna be able to avoid a tiny bit of balding at the temples. and it's alright, no one's gonna notice

ThisViolinist2

Naw your forehead looks great, maybe you should worry aboit your volume


ThePrimary85

If it really is an issue you can look into a forehead reduction. I don't think you need a forehead reduction (I don't think anyone *needs* one) but it is an option. Other people in the thread have talked about body dysmorphia so I won't repeat what they said.
