Man Up & Just Shave It! What’s the Worst That Could Happen?

For all you guys out there who are toying with the idea of shaving your head for the first time, what’s stopping you? Bald Boy, the makers of Mean & Clean Shave It Cream, have been daring guys to “man up – just shave it!” for months now. They’ve even got neat T-shirts for the guys that decide to join the Bald Boy Nation, but they know there are lots of guys out there who are still afraid to take the plunge. If you’re tempted to shave off your hair – and you know you are or you wouldn’t be reading this – here’s a little thought experiment that counselors use to challenge people to take a risk. It’s called “What’s the Worst that Could Happen?”

What’s the Worst That Could Happen if You Join Bald Boy Nation?

The thought experiment is designed to make you consider the absolute worst case scenario – the worst that could happen if you make a certain choice. It makes you confront your fears and figure out if they’re really insurmountable – or if they’re just silly niggles holding you back from doing something you really want to do. So here we go – what’s the worst thing that could happen if you join the league of shaved heads?

Your Girlfriend Could Hate It

So okay, there are a few girls out there who don’t quite get the bald boy look. The overwhelming evidence, though, is that there are lots of girls that think bald heads are totally sexy. But let’s imagine for a minute that your girl isn’t one of them. Do you really think she’ll break up with you if you shave off your hair? And if she does, what does that say about your relationship? Do you really want to be hooked up with a chick that would break up with you over a few inches of hair – when there’s tons of gorgeous women out there that will love you no matter what?

And if she loves you anyway but likes your head better when it’s covered, what’s the worst that could happen? You can grow your hair back in a matter of months and be the lovable, fuzzy-headed guy she adores. No harm, no foul. So come on. Man up…just shave it and find out.

The fact of the matter is that the absolute worst that could happen if you shave your head is that someone won’t like it – including you. If that’s the case, guess what? It’s not permanent! You can always go back.

And you could find out that the bald boy look is completely you. Your girlfriend will love it. Your boss will notice you and give you a shot at that promotion you’ve been wanting. And your mother will still love you. So go on. Man up. Just shave it. What’s the worst that could happen?
