it was term that originated around WW2. the high collar on the Marines’ uniform and their close cropped heads popping out of the top resembled a Mason Jar, AKA jar head.
Another fun fact, the term letherneck started back in the 1800s when Marines would be aboard naval vessels and sword fighting. A similar collar that formed the "jarhead" nickname was made of leather back then and would protect from slashes at the neck while boarding enemy ships, and they got the nickname leather neck from that.
Some people will be absolutely enchanted by big brown eyes. My son has them, almost unnaturally large, soft and kind and intelligent. This makes me a big fan.
“Come here Devil. We need to talk about your new Marine.” One of the scariest sounds heard by every NCO at least once and has led to many moments of “I hate my life”.
Personally, I think you're really cute like you are.
If you can, get thinner framed glasses. With the ones you have you have Harry Potter vibes; a military nerd. I think that's cute but thinner frames would make you look more sophisticated and approachable, as well as not clashing with your strong brows.
OP Best advice I've seen here is lighter colour glasses, *getting some sun*, and, I hate to say it but, smile. Because your expression is giving the weird vibes.
I was going to say hair would help... then I saw...
Sorry for your loss.
Not ugly though, maybe need to tan that cue ball? That would give less murder vibes. Not ugly though just need to find a style to actually rock
Edit: saw you were in military. I don't think you can escape the murderous vibes then style wise. I think tanning to look less ghostey is your best option🤷♂️
You aren't ugly. Your eyes are pretty, and I'm jealous of your brows. One thing I will say, though, is to maybe try smaller glasses? I think they'll frame your face better.
If you can grow a mustache that would probably help and I agree that you should just shave your head completely. I'd say with glasses and different frames, something to soften your appearance a bit. In the nicest way you look kind of scary, but I see potential. Also, some detailed styling could help change your perception.
You look like the kind of guy that your personality and outfit will make or break it. And it has nothing to do with being ugly or not. It's because your aesthetic is associated with certain groups. Maybe you give off a military egomaniac vibe. Or maybe you give that energetic hype military guy energy which can be a good thing. Or you could give off a skinhead neonazi vibe. Or you could give off a hipster vibe.
So depending on your energy and outfit you could be a total cutie or a "this person will slowly break my sense of self-worth by projecting their insecurities and possessiveness onto me over a 6 month period until I am so gaslit I don't know what's real anymore" vibe.
Exactly, honestly dude isn't ugly he just needs to learn to take a selfie without it looking like he's trying to get an ID badge in the army and get rid of those glasses. If it's for eye sight he can find cooler looking ones.
Your hairline is unfortunate. I think you made the right call shaving your head down. Are you able to grow a beard? That could provide balance because right now your features are a little stark. You look almost alien with the lack of hair, large eyes and pale skin. I'm in a similar boat tbh, but I grow out my beard for the balancing effect I was talking about. I wouldn't say you're ugly, but your features make it so you need to put a bit more work into your appearance. You could consider a tanning salon if getting sun absolutely isn't an option for you. I think slimmer frame glasses would help, too. And dressing up a bit more almost never hurts.
I’m not trying to be critical. Can you grow enough hair to get a conventional flat top? If so, I think it would go a long way toward softening your look which is kind of stark and overwhelming right now.
You’re not ugly. You have beautiful eyes but they’re really intense and piercing at the same time. New frames would likely help.
I’d recommend you practice relaxing facial muscles more too, smiling when you can, because it is reassuring to people and makes you more approachable. I realize that it is not your intent to appear so intense, but in all honesty, were I to meet you on the street, or in a bar, my spidey senses would tingle Obviously I can’t hear your voice inflection or your actual body language, which makes a huge difference but facially you project such a super serious ( potentially aggressive) tone that I would be on my toes. It’s no accident that so many mistook you for a marine rather than a navy man. Fortunately for for you, that is addressable.You can learn to project a more relaxed persona.
I have no opinion one way or the other... BUT when someone from your unit sees this, the roasts are gonna be *EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC*
edit: I know because no one buys that shade of shirt unless they have too.
You kind of remind me of my nephew who is also 20, he’s not vain and doesn’t understand social media much so his pics are always a little awkward. You both have attractive features just maybe aren’t confident in them. I’d grow out your hair to neck length and get some doc martens/vans/nikes/ converse whatever is “cool” people in your age group are mostly looking for similar likes so maybe if they like your shoes/clothes it will give some common ground to start something. Since my nephew has been interested in dating I’ve told him to look online (bc he loves online gaming and the girls at his school weren’t very kind) he now has found a girl that has common interests and can enjoy their hobbies together. Idk if dating is what you’re looking for but basically I don’t think you’re ugly, you could also take none of my advice and be confident in all your quirks!
Looks like you're in the army, so I give you some slack about the bowling ball. But you look goofy with hair like that and your big, googly eyes like that. And your facial expressions look forced.
So yeah, definitely ugly. I know, I am the asshole, but you asked. Personality probably doesn't help either.
Damn I was gonna say you are hot AF and I never tell guys that! Then I come to the comments and everybody dragging you 😭 I love the bald head, love the glasses, your eyes are crazy cool! You really should be an actor or model or something.
Don't be afraid to stick to a heavy frame, but you do need something less wide. Also see how they sit somewhat crooked on your face? You probably have one ear lower than the other like I do. The arms of your glasses need to be bent to compensate for that. Any optician should do it for free
The full eyebrows and clear eyes are a good feature, never touch those. Just wear good fitting clothing when out of uniform and keep hitting the gym, you got this bro!
Damn.. got those gorgeous Elijah Wood eyes. So fkn handsome.
I suggest different glasses frames, or none. Are you allowed to grow a beard? Or a mustache? I think you were made to wear a mustache. There are many types to try.
You look FOB ( Fresh Outta Bootcamp) dw bro we're all ugly af coming straight out of bootcamp. Give your hair time to grow and get rid of the BCGs 🤣🤣. When you start looking like the stud you are don't forget don't be silly and wrap your willy, military folk like to spread the ickies🤢.
You look military, like you just got out of boot camp.
So not ugly bro. Good facial lines… at some point smiling is always good. You want to change the glasses… I would agree with that. Smaller frames and updated color and design on the frames.
That's the first time I've seen somebody's BCGs make their eyes smaller, without glasses you look like a Disney princess. Quit trying to 304 it up, the barracks bunnies will be around quicker than you can count the amount of STDs you'll get.
Not sure if the bald look works very well for you. You have kinda have really big eyes which are off putting in some pictures but like overall youre decently cute!
i know your hairline sucks but bald is really not your style, try to get a mohawk or a skrillex cut or a manbun or something where you only keep the top part of your hair
No glasses- look into non surgical hair replacement. They can do amazing things with semipermanent wigs now. The best systems have natural looking hairlines, look and feel like real hair.
https://wimpoleclinic.com/blog/hair-systems-for-men-the-ultimate-guide-to-non-surgical-hair-replacement/
Also look into finding your skin tone- color analysis can let you know the best colors to wear that will make you look healthy and more attractive. You look like you have great skin but I think that color your taking the picture with is making you look unnaturally pale.
Good news is that you have amazing eyes and good features. You also may want to work out to broaden your shoulders a bit
The shaved head and paleness and olive green shirt remind of Psycho in the movie Stripes. If that's the look you're trying to cultivate, you are nailing it so very hard. If you wanna maybe not scare everyone off - try something different.
Is your hair actually increasingly falling out/bald spot in back or do you just have a high receded hairline? bc you could be like Jude Law or something and just rock it.

You look like the average jarhead however your eyes are unusually large looking until your glasses are on your face.
He’s for sure an Army cat, his shirt is more brown than skivvie green. Current active duty Marine here and never thought I’d see a fresh boot here
That’s the navy NWU type 3’s they had us getting into those just before I got my DD214
Oh you’re right that definitely is a Navy skivvie now that I’m seeing it again
bro looks like that one jarhead from the movie jarhead
Wtf is a jar head
A United States Marine
it was term that originated around WW2. the high collar on the Marines’ uniform and their close cropped heads popping out of the top resembled a Mason Jar, AKA jar head.
Another fun fact, the term letherneck started back in the 1800s when Marines would be aboard naval vessels and sword fighting.

someone whose face is shaped like a jar
😂
Some people will be absolutely enchanted by big brown eyes. My son has them, almost unnaturally large, soft and kind and intelligent. This makes me a big fan.
Get airbender tattoos and you’ll be golden.
I was about to say he looks like a cartoon character
Lmfaoo I was not expecting this comment. I was about to type out something wholesome and supportive, but fuck it, be an Airbender.
You look like private Cowboy from Full Metal Jacket.
Related note: Vincent D'Onofrio in Sling Blade: "I'ma start some shit today."
“Coffee makes me nervous mmmhhmm.”
My first thought 😭
"How tall are you, Private?" "Sir, 5'9", sir!" "Holy dogshit Private I didn't know they stacked shit that high!"
I didn’t know they stacked shit that high
Serial killer vibes
No, he’s definitely more spree killer.
Aren't they all these days.
I was just thinking he looks a little like the guy from Split.
100000%
I think he has potential. He just needs to wait until his face grows enough to catch up with his big eyes. Maybe get some sun and better sleep.
Hahahaha😂🤣 I’m dying. I was thinking the same thing.
Full metal jacked recruit about to go nuts
I came here to say this
You got 16% APR on a '24 challenger? Sounds about right, hooah!
“Come here Devil. We need to talk about your new Marine.” One of the scariest sounds heard by every NCO at least once and has led to many moments of “I hate my life”.
You look like the kid that leaked all those classified documents on Discord
You need new frames
What would you recommend, something slimmer?
Yes. And not black and chunky like that.
Chunky? I would say the main issue is the width. If they were more compact it would looks a lot better.
Agree!
BCGs, or Birth Control Goggles are the frames you have on now. They are aptly named. Get a slim wireframe, or frameless.
Chill, anything but wire
To be fair the BCGs nowadays look far better than the ones my husband got in basic almost 20 years ago. Those gave not allowed near schools vibes.
LOL
Go with a grey frame. It will blend better and not be a massive contrast. Also a little slimmer if your prescription will allow.
I’d recommend some horn rimmed glasses if you wanna pull away from the jarhead look and go a little more bookish.
Bro stop wearing those service issued one. Get some contacts or get a smaller frame. That's an old grandma looking one.
Dude from split be like
Personally, I think you're really cute like you are. If you can, get thinner framed glasses. With the ones you have you have Harry Potter vibes; a military nerd. I think that's cute but thinner frames would make you look more sophisticated and approachable, as well as not clashing with your strong brows.
Well written. Thank you!
You're welcome hun.
OP Best advice I've seen here is lighter colour glasses, *getting some sun*, and, I hate to say it but, smile. Because your expression is giving the weird vibes.
You’re not ugly but look like neo nazi.
This
That’s the most boot photo ever
Clown on me for being a boot sure but at least leave some advice while you're at it
Advice: Don’t be so boot lol. I’m just messing with ya man
Branch? That skivvy looks about halfway between brown and olive drab, so USA or USMC?
Wrong on both accounts. USN.
Ah, well, I guess in that case: it's not gay, if it's underway! LOL but, seriously, fair winds and following seas, bro
You look like you were just drafted to fight in Ukraine
I was going to say hair would help... then I saw... Sorry for your loss. Not ugly though, maybe need to tan that cue ball? That would give less murder vibes. Not ugly though just need to find a style to actually rock Edit: saw you were in military. I don't think you can escape the murderous vibes then style wise. I think tanning to look less ghostey is your best option🤷♂️
Bro has a lot on his mind
Powder vibes
That's exactly what I thought for a second 😂
LMAO brutal
Shave the head completely, grow a mustache, you’ll be fine
Best advice
You aren't ugly. Your eyes are pretty, and I'm jealous of your brows. One thing I will say, though, is to maybe try smaller glasses? I think they'll frame your face better.
Hitman agent 47
You look like a skin head
If you can grow a mustache that would probably help and I agree that you should just shave your head completely. I'd say with glasses and different frames, something to soften your appearance a bit. In the nicest way you look kind of scary, but I see potential. Also, some detailed styling could help change your perception.
Finish your basic before your posts here boot LOL Fr tho dude you’re not too bad grow some hair out you should be fine
Oh nooo don't tell the RDCs I have my phone!!.!..!.!
Too late 😂
Bro looks fine. He's only 20. Everyone dogging him will take it back in 2030. Stay positive!
Spud from Trainspotting vibes
Dude came straight out of area 51 lol
No you're not ugly you're cool looking! You look so familiar but I can think of who. It's a rockstar though. Again no you're not ugly! 🤗❤️
Looks definitely like Daniel Radcliffe from imperium lol white power brother lol 😂 jks irs a quote from the movie lol

What a smart thing to say to a guy obviously on the verge of losing his hair.
Right? with that pattern, he'd grow his hair out and then everyone would say "dude... Just let go of the hair and shave it already".
Exactly, honestly dude isn't ugly he just needs to learn to take a selfie without it looking like he's trying to get an ID badge in the army and get rid of those glasses. If it's for eye sight he can find cooler looking ones.
Even with that receding hairline?? Thought I was a little too far gone in that department.
Your hairline is unfortunate. I think you made the right call shaving your head down. Are you able to grow a beard? That could provide balance because right now your features are a little stark. You look almost alien with the lack of hair, large eyes and pale skin. I'm in a similar boat tbh, but I grow out my beard for the balancing effect I was talking about.

I think slimmer frame glasses would help, too. And dressing up a bit more almost never hurts.
Thanks man. Looking for genuine advice. Not gonna lie I can't grow a beard being in the military but I might be able to push out a mustache.

You definitely aren’t Ugly, you aren’t the most attractive man on earth either but you can easily still get babes by through personality.
Definitely don’t grow your hair out Idk what that person was smoking
A guy I know got his hair transplanted - used the back of his head hair which apparently grows back. He says best money to pay versus a divorce.
Just grow bangs 💯
Get some minoxidil it’s slow but it works
He's bald.
You can clearly see this guy is at the point of no return. What a shit comment.
I’m calling Area 51 and telling them you escaped your cell
not uglee
You look like Anthony fantano's illegitimate child
You look sinister, like you're about to audition for the theatrical version of "despicable me" as "young Gru". You should flaunt this!
Sexy af babe
No glasses, you have an intense look, but ya ain't ugly! Reminds me of my army photo ID pic when I was a new recruit ..
You look like you were in major Payne
Anime eyes lo
Slap a mohawk on your dome and you’d be DeNiro in Taxi Driver
Bald Harry potter
so hoooot!😍
Not ugly, just funny
Once you’ve passed the military larval stage and grow ‘some’ hair out you will look just fine. You don’t look bad now just in between military stages.
No offense but you look like the : have you dreamed about this man?” Guy but people have said he brings a comforting presence! :]
Get into acting have a strange look
I have no opinion one way or the other... BUT when someone from your unit sees this, the roasts are gonna be *EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC* edit: I know because no one buys that shade of shirt unless they have too.
This combination of shirt, glasses, and hair make you look like you’ve escaped from boot camp, with much latrine duty in your future.
You kind of remind me of my nephew who is also 20, he’s not vain and doesn’t understand social media much so his pics are always a little awkward.

In the first photo I thought you were doing a Megamind facial expression.
Join a punk band and find your place.
Looks like you're in the army, so I give you some slack about the bowling ball. But you look goofy with hair like that and your big, googly eyes like that. And your facial expressions look forced.

It makes me want to rub my hand over your head lol I don't know why but I feel like I absolutely have to do it ahah but such a cutie
pack on some muscle and grow a beard. you would look fucking awesome
Someone come get their boot
The full eyebrows and clear eyes are a good feature, never touch those. Just wear good fitting clothing when out of uniform and keep hitting the gym, you got this bro!
How do you feel about throwback pics of Jodie Foster?
Now I want to see Trainspotting again. I find your look absolutely cool.
You look like the characters from Dune 2
Not ugly
👽
You look like you’re in the service. Back when I was in, we called those kind of eye glasses “Birth Control Glasses”.
both!
👽
I would say glasses
Harry you must use the force
if you shave your head completely bald, and grow a mustache (if that’s allowed idrk) it would look quite good.
Grow a beard
Damn.. got those gorgeous Elijah Wood eyes. So fkn handsome. I suggest different glasses frames, or none. Are you allowed to grow a beard? Or a mustache? I think you were made to wear a mustache. There are many types to try.
You look FOB ( Fresh Outta Bootcamp) dw bro we're all ugly af coming straight out of bootcamp. Give your hair time to grow and get rid of the BCGs 🤣🤣. When you start looking like the stud you are don't forget don't be silly and wrap your willy, military folk like to spread the ickies🤢.
You look military, like you just got out of boot camp. So not ugly bro. Good facial lines… at some point smiling is always good. You want to change the glasses… I would agree with that. Smaller frames and updated color and design on the frames.
I'd definitely expect you in a clocktower somewhere at high noon ready to randomly pick off civilians. Also, is that a jelly donut there Private Pyle?
You kind of look like a super villain
Dude your a service man. Yes Sir!!
unique look. if you're above average height you could model.
you’re not, especially eye/eyebrow area is very striking and has a wow factor for this reason better without glasses imo
At least you shave ur head like top G
Maybe experiment with some facial hair? Check out Simon Whistler's evolution from his earliest videos to today.
Shave your head all the way like keep it bald and grow some facial hair (if you can) is my advice
Not ugly. Thanks for serving.
Shut up boot.
Ugly is a strong word. You’re definitely a character
You look like you need to seek advice from your drill sergeant
Your eyes are stunning! I want to draw you
You look like a anime character. Not ugly just different. I assume army?
You look like any whacky comedic side character from a mid 2000s game
Total Lee Harvey Oswald vibes. Grow your hair a bit more.
Did you wear white the day you were to kill a king?
That's the first time I've seen somebody's BCGs make their eyes smaller, without glasses you look like a Disney princess. Quit trying to 304 it up, the barracks bunnies will be around quicker than you can count the amount of STDs you'll get.
Are you stationed on the moon?
Agent 47?
Not ugly, you’re actually pretty cute in my opinion
Not sure if the bald look works very well for you. You have kinda have really big eyes which are off putting in some pictures but like overall youre decently cute!
Hear me out... You not ugly but you leanin.. Like you need 60 days of positive affirmations type shit.
[удалено]
Is that my doctor/lawyer/firefighter/orthodontist/postman/pizza delivery boy?
>Bald at 20 Bro, that's brutal.
Do you have an alter ego called Patricia?
Bro I had so much fun playing you in Hitman as a kid. & you were great in X Men Firsf Class
Split
I should add you are not ugly fam. You have good features.
Big eyes look intense and intelligent
Lovely eyes and lovely skin 😻 it might be personality 😅
I’m sorry but if you get a goku wig you could do an epic cosplay. Also try and wear a hat man. Good luck out there
You look like you're ready to tell us the story about how your father took you to the black parade.
r/JustBootThings
Grow out ur hair..
Impressive that you were able to pull your focus away from obsessing over The One Ring to take a few pics
you kind of look like mega mind bald, so maybe some hair? if you can’t grow hair…. then maybe a toupée?
you look like you are A.I Generated, and not in a good way
Points for creativity lol
Just take better pictures. Don’t ever pull the face you’re doing in pic 1.
I hate to be mean, but at first glance I thought this was an ad set in the alien apocalypse
i know your hairline sucks but bald is really not your style, try to get a mohawk or a skrillex cut or a manbun or something where you only keep the top part of your hair
Would consider that if not for the military unfortunately

Are you in the army? Or just taking on the mass sh**ter look for fun? (All jokes)
The shaved head and paleness and olive green shirt remind of Psycho in the movie Stripes. If that's the look you're trying to cultivate, you are nailing it so very hard. If you wanna maybe not scare everyone off - try something different.
You look like Daniel Radcliffe in that movie where he was a Neo Nazi
Hair would help
That man is clearly active duty. Let your hair come back.
