So what haircut would you guys suggest for the Pigroach? Every time he gets an haircut people here clown on him but they never suggest better haircuts for his age.
Essentially the only dignified way to bald is by shaving it/getting a buzzcut. It carries the obvious implications that you're okay with it. Phil's balding patterns are weird in a way that makes me think he's a combover wizard. That's probably why he presses his hair down when he starts to sweat, gotta keep the magic in place. He's probably balder than we think, just with a couple really long tufts of hair in places, like a troll doll. The mariana trench is a dead giveaway. I think his natural hairstyle right now is something like a balding devilock with shaved sides.
In general I'm seeing a lot of younger barbers are deeply in love with the fade. It's a niggerly haircut, to be honest. You can't put that on a white dude without making him look like Forrest Gump/Karl Childers. It'll look special needs for sure, but the thing is... It lets you cover up a receding hairline by shaving where it thins and combing forward over it. This and the hairdye are what Phil gets. It's not a complex hairstyle to do at home, but it is kind of a somewhat advanced combover-combforward combo. That's why when he pulls it all back his hairline appears to recede in real time. He also comes looking less bald from the hairdresser, but a couple days go by and he's back to his lopsided hairline. Probably because he showers and does his usual slick back, fucking up the comb forward part.
Additionally, he gets cut by a woman, so that's pricier and she's not gonna be able to work with what he's got as well as a man could. But I suppose most barbershops won't do color. Just in general, if the global recession keeps going how it is, barbershops and hairstylists are gonna be on the way out in favor of utilitarian DIY buzzcuts, but I suppose the dents on SSI won't notice that. Paying even ten to fifteen bucks and a trip for a cut you can do at home isn't a grievous expenditure, but it certainly adds up. Phil doesn't even do that, he does the midlife crisis housewife thing of paying 60 bucks to get your hair done and dyed. This is an extremely feminine thing to do. Most dudes wouldn't care, specially most dudes who were never attractive. Just look at Aris. Dude's beard is going gray and he doesn't give a fuck. And even in most cases for fading-looks middle aged women, it's like putting lipstick on a pig at best. Much like in Phil's case.
And regarding the fake tips, yeah he does it. Colloquial name salting/priming the tip jar, scientific name social confirmation bias. They ran experiments a few years back with buskers on the subway, and the buskers who salted the tip jar were on average noticeably more succesful than the ones who didn't. Goes doubly so for a beggar like Phil, or that white woman who called a nigger child acting niggerly a nigger. It's not just the fact that they are considered worthy by other people, it's also that they are closer to the goal. I think most people wouldn't donate 100.000 bucks to build a hospital, but you'd have a lot of takers if the fund was most of the way collected and all you had to donate was 89 cents. Shit, a lot of people have already pitched in, must be a good cause, right? One of the best known charity scams that street recruiters pull is having a friend on standby to give a huge donation in plain sight, causing other people to also donate when prompted.
And they also give you something pointless, like a sticker, a pin or a mug.
It's also why he has these arbitrary goals. Like you KNOW he'd just do feasting with da kang even if he didn't get the money, dude loves his fast food, but now it feels like you're getting something for your money (If you're a retard) rather than just throwing it into a black hole. In fact I think he talked about this with Steven and he said that he was doing stuff for his viewers now, and Steven basically said that they really got nothing out of it other than to see him stuff his face with hamborgers.
