Today, I had an elderly woman come up to me and tell me how well I pull off the look of being bald. She said that most women can't look attractive without hair. Then she asked me if I had cancer. I had to explain to her that I am, in fact, a man, and I shave my head because I'm a swimmer. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I shaved my head because I heard that one of my good friends got cancer. I went to visit her in the hospital. She's not bald. FML
Today, when I went out to get some groceries with my mother, a small girl came up to me and said I was an "ugly egg" because I'm a bald girl. I had to shave my head in order to have brain surgery to relieve me of the symptoms of my neurological disorder. FML
Today, someone told me I have male pattern baldness; they thought so because I apparently have a "receding hairline." It's always been this way, I checked my pictures from the time I shaved my head when I was 16. FML
Today, after losing all my hair to chemo, I finally felt brave enough to go out without a wig or a headscarf. I expected some weird looks. I didn’t expect a woman in a store to point to me and tell her daughter, “See what feminism does to women? She’ll never have a husband, I bet!” FML
Today, I had to accept the fact that I'm going bald, after I noticed the hair on my chest is longer than the hair on my head. FML
Today, at 21 years of age, my doctor confirmed that I am, indeed, going bald. It wouldn't be such a bad thing, even expected, if I wasn't a woman. FML
Today, my wife is angry with me because after she'd convinced me to grow out my hair, it exposed my receding hairline. I shaved my head to the same appearance as when she married me, so I could feel more comfortable with my own body. FML
Today, I was stopped by a customer who told me that I looked like a nice woman. I thanked him for the compliment and pointed out that I was a man. With an obviously male name on my name tag. And visible facial hair. FML
Today, after cutting my hair and shaving, I had girls hitting on me for the first time ever! Too bad they thought I was a butch lesbian, not a man. FML
Today, I was shaving my underarms, when I heard a noise. I quickly turned my head to see what it was and got the razor caught in my hair. I'm now sporting a very attractive bald patch. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't see this as an FML. You have feminine features. So what. Grow some stubble, you pansy.

But if he doesn't carry the purse, what will he put his tampons in? Besides, it matched his shoes!

you are all thick as pig shit. clearly a man who is so dedicated to swimming that he shaves his head isn't gonna have man boobs. also on another note. how many times do you all have to write the same joke?! it wasn't funny the first time one of you idiots said about man boobs so why did the rest of you feel the need to repeat it?! god i just hate you all!!! except you legonut. I think you rock.

And me of course, but that's a given.

Old people think they can say whatever the **** they want to people. Next time ask her how long she has to live.

hey legonut, you forgot to ask if the old woman was nice and moist.

If you're a guy you don't need an excuse to shave your head. I think you just wanted to include that you're a swimmer in your post.

86- Why do you always write the REALLY long comments that no one wants to read?? Make it smaller. Please? It hurts my eyes. :)

82 -- sometimes "pretty" or androgynous men are attractive, but Justin Bieber looks like a child. If you're around his age I guess it's okay, but I think it's creepy as hell when women older than him think he's attractive.

I don't really believe this one; no one would come up to a stranger and say something like that! If it is real, then yes, your life sucks.

Agree with the people above. My sister works at a health care center and she has been proposed to several times by old men she doesn't even know.
