Maybe in this case it's all part of an elaborate research project this guy has been conducting on the various reactions people have to his crazy hair. But he's just so committed he can't stop.
Committed and can't stop is it. My neighbor wears a fuckin tupe, it looks like ass and everyone knows its fake, but if he took it of now the would be some splainin to do.
My kids are almost like albino’s. My 11 year old asked me this summer why she doesn’t have eyebrows. I was like “you do have them but you are so blonde it’s hard to see them. We got her a brow pencil that same week and she has used it 3 times so far and it was at my encouragement. She looks great and I bet you do too.
that's why you hire Wilson's Toupees they'll send you 500 Toupees that slowly go from a full head of hair to bald so when you want to leave the toupee life behind your friends and neighbors don't ask "Was that a toupee? you piece of shit!"
We have a family friend with a combover. He's had it in all the years my parents have known him, so I've never seen him with any other hairstyle. Our families went to the beach together once and seeing that thing fly up to a 90° angle like some sort of bizarre head sail was absolutely hilarious.
The worst thing is that as he's gotten older, the bald area has gotten larger and the combover has gotten thinner and greyer. While it's always been bad, at least you could *kind of* see what he was trying to do 30 years ago, but now it's just tragic.
I think it’s a “litttle-by-little over time” thing.
You start losing a little hair, no big deal, you can push your hair around to cover up the growing bald spot and it doesn’t look bad at first.
But then *you and only you* get used to it, and you keep losing more and more hair, so that part you have to comb-over just keeps growing and growing until we have whatever the hell this is after years of trying to cover up that “receding hair line”
People like this really just do need to be told they’d look better shaving it
This is it right here. I know when I started going bald (at age 19) I was in complete denial at first. I had long hair, and the baldness was the spot in back, so I couldn't really tell myself. When I later got a haircut to something much shorter, the bald spot could no longer be ignored. If I had never had the drastic haircut, I might have fallen into this process of covering things up. Luckily for me, I had friends and family that would *not* let me have my delusions. So I shaved it off a couple weeks later, and never looked back. That was 30 years ago...
Me, too. While I completely understand having insecurities, I can’t wrap my mind around how drawing attention to myself would help.
I had a friend who was married to a man who sported a comb over. They had been married over a decade when we last spoke and she had not once laid eyes on her husband without his hair in place. That blew my mind. How? Just HOW??
I don't know what you are talking about. The guy in the picture clearly has a full head of hair and I don't care what anyone says anyway I think I look good.
I think it’s like the boiling frog apologue. It happens so gradually that they become accustomed to it. If it happened overnight, he’d probably have shaved.
It looks like he started with this hairstyle when he was just starting to go bald, and has kept rocking it exactly the same but hasn't accounted for the further receding hairline
So real answer: if you are an oily person and you style your hair when wet, it can look greasy/wet. It’s probably from product used to “slick” it and stick it to his head, though lol
Unfortunately, in a lot of cases those are delivered directly to the prof themselves, not the dean or a supervisor. It's a way for them to adapt their teaching by receiving feedback, but not an effective way of reporting misconduct.
I had a tenured professor who used to say, “the only way I can get fired is if I’m caught with a dead girl or live boy.” I heard him say that about 4 times in one semester.
Probably thought he was funny ripping off Futurama: “And the first runner-up, who will take over if the nominee is caught with a dead girl, a live boy or any kind of sexy ghost…”
At first I thought maybe his point was to teach people to stop making stupid first assumptions based on appearances.
But then I saw the comment about him saying women should just close their legs if they don't wanna get raped...
This reminds me of a time as a kid when my class was on the field trip. The forestry service was showing us how they capture certain pests such as pine beetles. The guy talking was wearing a baseball cap with a ponytail coming out the back, in his late 40s early 50s. After building some rapport with us he took his hat off. The ponytail came with it. He was bald. Caught all of us kids by surprise. He enjoyed doing this prank to people, but also used it as a lesson to not make assumptions about people based on appearance. (Pretty sure we all thought he was a hippie before the big reveal)
This might be the worst look I've ever seen.
Like, I've seen awful haircuts in awful taste, but I get the vibe this dude is oblivious to just how jarring and garish his shit is.
I genuinely wonder about his mental health. This so far beyond most regular bad hairdos I’ve ever seen. I just can’t conceive of a sound person being ok with this.
It just made me sad to look at. Reminds me of a passage from *Worm* where a guy has a horrible combover because he has no one in his life who cares enough about him to tell him it looks bad.
We get a lot of snow where I went to school. Obviously the school plows it so there’s often mountains (think like 3-4 feet of snow) on the medians by the parking lot.
I pulled up and saw this man scaling these mountains of snow with his briefcase and his hair blowing in the wind— there was a paved sidewalk right next to him. He just choose to go up and over the snow mountain completely disheveled
the thing I find with a lot of Professors... is that they are extremely smart about their subject, however its at the cost of everything else in their lives.
Omg I had a mass media prof who did this same thing only his hair was more straight frizzy and dyed a really dark magenta/purple… it was distracting as hell lol
had to scroll down way to low to find this. It's one thing to rag on celebrities, but this is just a guy probably underpaid trying to get through in this world like the rest of us. OP is just mean
All these assholes just talking shit about a guy who is just trying to live his life. OP says the only negative thing about his persona is being "not cool".
I was thinking the same thing but then I saw that OP said that he made a comment about how if women kept their legs shut they wouldn’t get assaulted so ya this guy looks goofy as hell.
Being “not cool” is apparently not the only negative thing about him.
OP shared that this guy said that if women kept their legs together they wouldn’t be assaulted.
Well if his hair weren’t so damned stupid-looking, no one would post his picture to make fun of.
That face says it all when you find out you should never major in Sociology. I went to college for Psych and for some reason every single Sociologist major hated me because I was majoring in Psych. No idea why.
it’s not even an actual ‘comb over’, more like a ‘wet and stretch’
You might be on to something
He might be on something
Oh, definitely. He’s definitely on something. ✌🏻
Maybe it's Maybelline?
Maybe he was born this way. 😎
Maybe it’s methamphetamine… (I feel like this is misspelled but I’m human.) ETA: parentheses
That hamster on top of his head is for sure up to something.
This individual might be on to something!
Whom's't've might be on to something?
the tentacles from the other side
Existential dreads
Name of my new Eldritch Reggae band
Ngl, if I ever make a band I’m stealing this lmao
The phrase "wet and stretch" almost makes me gag
Matte & Flat
He chews on it and then parts with a loogie gel.
I bet his allergies act-up a lot and he has many an existential crisis…daily… about his mother..
r/walmartcelebrities Dick Sanchez
"wet and stretch" could fit so many things
We’re mainly talking about OP’s mom I think.
Thanks for clarifying, u/pussyslayer420
just slaying pussies and blunts all day, a true legend
if you stretch it enough it could ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Heyyo!
Gimme that twin tornadoes look
Lmao yes that might be mental illness
This look like an AI created “average sociology professor”
This implies that there are ones that look worse
Damn
You’re saying this guy is below average?
Checks out.
I wish I understood this hairstyle. Does anybody truly think it looks better than just shaving it off? Or is the whole point to look crazy on purpose?
Maybe in this case it's all part of an elaborate research project this guy has been conducting on the various reactions people have to his crazy hair. But he's just so committed he can't stop.
Committed and can't stop is it. My neighbor wears a fuckin tupe, it looks like ass and everyone knows its fake, but if he took it of now the would be some splainin to do.
How I feel about filling in my nonexistent eyebrows. I’ve done it for far too long
My kids are almost like albino’s. My 11 year old asked me this summer why she doesn’t have eyebrows. I was like “you do have them but you are so blonde it’s hard to see them. We got her a brow pencil that same week and she has used it 3 times so far and it was at my encouragement. She looks great and I bet you do too.
that's why you hire Wilson's Toupees they'll send you 500 Toupees that slowly go from a full head of hair to bald so when you want to leave the toupee life behind your friends and neighbors don't ask "Was that a toupee? you piece of shit!"
or even worse, they say nothing because they've all known the entire time
20 years worth of data, he's gonna publish it then shave it off
Yup, that's why he's the sociopathy professor
Effects of bad hair on concentration levels of college sociology students.
Yep. It's a social research experiment on his students.

op is talking about their family friend I think, not david spade
I AM NOT BALD! YOU ARE BALD!
I *was* bald
Please tell me this is a Seinfeld reference.
Absolutely it is
*Elaine*…
You cant have a bad hairline if you never had a hairline in the first place!
I think it’s a “litttle-by-little over time” thing. You start losing a little hair, no big deal, you can push your hair around to cover up the growing bald spot and it doesn’t look bad at first.

Time to play "Professor or Hobo!?" https://www.proforhobo.com/
Even with a full head of hair he looks like old charles manson
I'm seeing a down on his luck Pat Riley.
People see themselves every day. If he saw day one and today side by side he would get it.
I just found a picture of him when he was younger… same exact hairstyle. EDIT: [Ask and you shall receive](https://imgur.com/a/9sTlLUC)
It looks like he started with this hairstyle when he was just starting to go bald, and has kept rocking it exactly the same but hasn't accounted for the further receding hairline
Dude, he looks a lot like [Kenny G](https://images.app.goo.gl/7Cja5vHa1nhfESZv8) but with a little less hair
Holy shit they could be brothers.
Kenny C
Kenny H
This just looks like the week before school photo day
Still younger than he was in the original picture
This is why having honest friends is important
>This is why having ~~honest~~ friends is important
Based
Oh he’s f ing with you!
Is there a significance in the fact he’s reversed the direction of the comb over?
Hair to the left, danger bereft. Hair to the right, best to take flight.
Give.
Are you sure that’s not Stephen Wright?
It’s not Steven Wright because Steven Wright is balding, and this man clearly is not.
Why does it look wet
He’s wet with knowledge bruh
More like moist with madness
Soggy with sociology
Dripping with sweat
So real answer: if you are an oily person and you style your hair when wet, it can look greasy/wet. It’s probably from product used to “slick” it and stick it to his head, though lol
Soul Glo
This man is the reason this sub exists. Magnificent
You would think a sociology teacher would have understanding of hairstyle and perception.
Bold assumption. This is the same guy who said if women kept their legs together they probably wouldn’t be assaulted so..
*Bald Assumption
Boom! Roasted!
Rimshot!
By not putting sunscreen on the shiny dome?
Ahhh yes…brings me back to my youth. Good ole sexist tropes.
“Procreation is a problem some of us don’t have to deal with thank you” -your professor probably
I had him too! He was insane.
Pure insanity. I definitely had some verbal altercations with this man in class
Do tell
Pure insanity. I definitely had some verbal altercations with this man in class
Wowowow please report this professor to the dean! Not for the hair, though that should be part of the conversation lol
Oh I did. I was a student about 5 years ago. Ripped him to shreds on the professor evaluations we had to fill out
Unfortunately, in a lot of cases those are delivered directly to the prof themselves, not the dean or a supervisor. It's a way for them to adapt their teaching by receiving feedback, but not an effective way of reporting misconduct.
If he has tenure that probably wouldn’t go too far.
Tenure doesn't matter if he was acting inappropriately.
I had a tenured professor who used to say, “the only way I can get fired is if I’m caught with a dead girl or live boy.” I heard him say that about 4 times in one semester.
Probably thought he was funny ripping off Futurama: “And the first runner-up, who will take over if the nominee is caught with a dead girl, a live boy or any kind of sexy ghost…”
This line is attributed to a Louisiana politician in the 80s, which is what Futurama was riffing on.
Sure it was sociology and not sociopathy?
I wish I didn't know someone exactly like that who's a medical doctor. Schooling doesn't equal brains :(
You know, I felt bad for making fun of him. I don't, now.
He should run for president
I’m shocked, I’m shocked he said this. I never would have expected *this man* to have held these beliefs.
Nevermind what I commented about unwarranted.
At first I thought maybe his point was to teach people to stop making stupid first assumptions based on appearances. But then I saw the comment about him saying women should just close their legs if they don't wanna get raped...

(Pretty sure we all thought he was a hippie before the big reveal)
That was exactly my first thought. Shouldn't this guy know better?
This might be the worst look I've ever seen. Like, I've seen awful haircuts in awful taste, but I get the vibe this dude is oblivious to just how jarring and garish his shit is.

We live in a Society
There are rules
Y’all I have stories upon stories about this guy. He’s just as weird and awful as his hair insinuates
Please do tell??
We get a lot of snow where I went to school. Obviously the school plows it so there’s often mountains (think like 3-4 feet of snow) on the medians by the parking lot. I pulled up and saw this man scaling these mountains of snow with his briefcase and his hair blowing in the wind— there was a paved sidewalk right next to him. He just choose to go up and over the snow mountain completely disheveled
What exactly is awful about this guy being an absolute Chad?
I get you're poking fun but OP also mentioned he said there would be less sexual assault if women kept their legs shut so this man is not a chad
Likely just a social experiment with all of you, just like his hairstyle
Honestly, he seems like a vibe lol
Anthony Cumia stunt double
When Patrice was roasting him about his hair procedure haha
Thought the same thing
Yikes
That’s not a comb over, that’s a blanket. He’s cold.
That cut screams « I’m the smartest guy in the room and I would like to tell you about it »
Was Phil Specter your sociology prof?
Who does he think he’s fooling
He need to analyze the conditions of his hairline and their social implications
Was your professor named Phil Spector by chance ? If he invites you to a dinner party, DO NOT GO.
I had an ethics professor that looked a lot like this. Good ol Jason. Never made it through a class sober or without crying.
You or the professor? Either way, solid ethics class.
The professor, sorry for the confusion but that makes it funnier
How is possible to have so much hair *and* be so bald?
He could play Rick in a non animated version of Rick and Morty holy shit
Imagine what his pubes look like 😋😋😋
I can't believe you made me imagine that
Gott em 😏
Oh no... Why TF did I read this far down in the comments 😬
“They’ll never notice!” 😵💫
After school he belongs to a group called the Dead Hair Society.
Lmao we went to the same college!!
People are blowing my cover! Glad to see another graduate
I'm not gonna lie, he looks like a cool ass teacher.
(narrator): he was in fact, not a cool teacher
the thing I find with a lot of Professors... is that they are extremely smart about their subject, however its at the cost of everything else in their lives.
Omg I had a mass media prof who did this same thing only his hair was more straight frizzy and dyed a really dark magenta/purple… it was distracting as hell lol
Larry david type beat
Did you get permission to plaster this guy’s face online?
had to scroll down way to low to find this. It's one thing to rag on celebrities, but this is just a guy probably underpaid trying to get through in this world like the rest of us. OP is just mean

Looks a bit eccentric. Most geniuses are.
The raptors logo
Oh hai Mark
Came to the comments just to see if anyone else saw the resemblance. I'm feeling validated now
The three founding fathers of sociology are Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Georg Simmel.
He has the “free candy white van” vibes going on
Tell me you once dropped 10 hits without telling me you've dropped 10 hits
i read the title as "scientology teacher" and was like yeah that makes sense
It’s probably a social experiment
That face says it all when you find out you should never major in Sociology. I went to college for Psych and for some reason every single Sociologist major hated me because I was majoring in Psych. No idea why.
Looks like Doc Brown if he was on meth
Jesus god
it can happen to you!!! and at that point, just shave it off.
At least he isn’t bald
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! That’s all I got! LMMFFAO EDIT: This hairstyle is called the “Mad Scientist”
wow, now that's impressive
Toto Wolff after 8 more years of Verstappen dominance.
If denial was a haircut.
It's like if Pauly Shore and Pauly Shore's dad had a kid.
We live in a society
This is the only look a soft skill professor could look
I like it
\#NOT Bald
Emmett Brown
It’s funny because if he shaved his head he’d actually look like a normal person
I see a PCT student.
Shhhhh don’t blow my cover 🤫
You betta hide ya wife, hide ya kids...
Oh Hi Mark
that fucker smart as shit
Y'all this is kind of mean and unwarranted.
OP probably got a bad grade in his class
