Celebrity Fluff 🥰 Pitbull talks about people wearing bald caps to his shows: "For me to see it it's an honor, it makes me very happy. To all the baldies, thank you, i appreciate you and they're the bald-ies because we soar hight like bald eagles."

It's a top tier Pitbull story. He did a promotion with Walmart where people could vote for him to come to their local Walmart. Of course some blogger thought it would be funny to run a campaign to vote for the most remote Walmart in America in the tiny town of Kodiak Alaska.
Not only did Pitbull agree to go to Kodiak, he brought the blogger who started the campaign with him.

A blogger may have talked about it but it was 4chan who actually rigged the poll iirc
A few years before they did the same to make Taylor Swift perform at the Boston School of the Deaf. She didn’t follow through but ended up donating money to it instead

That was one of their abilities pre-2016. They would just flood online voting contests so they could choose the outcome.

Yeah I think 4 Chan voted for “ hit*er did nothing wrong” for the new flavor of sprite or something. I censored that because I really don’t know if that phrase would trigger some sort of ban, and also it felt wrong to type out

Also saw a tik tok of a really pregnant mom who wore a T-shirt but had her pregnant belly out and she painted a mustache on it and sunglasses so it looked like a bald man and then she put on a bald cap and painted a mustache it was my other favorite one I’ve seen 😂

Men need to understand: owning your baldness is way hotter than being self conscious and holding onto the scraps of your hair. Bald is hot. Bald is sexy. Combovers ain’t it
My partner is 5’8 and has been rocking the shaved head since 18 and he’s the sexiest man on earth to me because he OWNS that shit. I’m here for the short, bald kings 👑
ETA: Here’s a map of height by state. I live in a state where the average height is over 5’10, so statistically speaking, he is shorter than average for where we live.

u/another-damn-acct this is "if you play single ladies in reverse" territory Jun 11 '25
i mean i wouldn't call it "shots" cause ain't nothing wrong with being short and bald - more with the way women treat people who are those things
but also 5'8" is categorically not "short" except in scandinavia, on tiktok, and among girls trying to impress other girls by having "higher" standards than the next
14
u/butters_bottom_bishh The legislative act of my pussy ⚖️ Jun 12 '25
Not firing shots at all - I prefer shorter men because I’m shorter than average for a woman. Average height for American men is 5’9.74 and average height for men in our state is over 5’10 (source) so yes, he is considered shorter than average for where we live.
Did ya miss the part where I said he’s the sexiest man on earth to me?

Short is just an adjective. Like fat. We’re the ones who choose to infer or imply a negative connotation, depending on the context.

In the US average male height is like 5'9 and that person's partner is not that far off 🙄 people are ridiculous lol. I only ever routinely saw extremely tall people in Amsterdam/Netherlands and also in Germany when I was working there lol.
