Balding is a death sentence

Started severely balding at 22 and now my hairline is completely gone except for some peach fuzz in the front. Confidence has taken a nose dive.

Wat do bras?

Do you have a misshapen head?

Matters even less after 30. Seriously don't drive yourself crazy over it. Accept it, continue to improve in other areas and it won't affect your life negatively.

So am I. What you do is just wear a Duke basketball backwards hat when going on dates. Sleep in the hat too so she never knows.

You could stop calling it a "death sentence" and embrace how you look.

If you are incredibly insecure, you can go for a hair transplant if/when you have the $$$.

So not wanting to be treated like chit is incredibly insecure? Please. If the Norwood reaper ever comes for me, I'm getting a transplant or whatever with the quickness.

Find the style that best suits you, whether thats buzzed or fully shaved. Take this hairstyle and begin to craft your image around it, the key is masculinity. Anything that is a masculine trait will make a bald/balding head look better. Beard? Masculine. Muscle, especially traps and neck? Masculine. Update your wardrobe with more masculine choices. What you want is to build congruence. The more masculine your look, the more congruent your 'look' will be, which is attractive. Now all of this may only boost you a couple of points. It's Ok, life isn't just about how attractive you are.

From here you need to start internalizing that fact that your physical features do not define who you are. Develop hobbies, develop social skills, find passion within your career and build a solid life. Baldness means ONLY as much as the power you give it. If you worry about it and fixate on it, so will everyone else. If you don't give a chit mostly other people won't give a chit.

I promise you there are lessons to be learnt as a man from balding. It phucking sucks at the time but if you can overcome the insecurity you will find a deeper level of self-acceptance than most of these transplant plebs can imagine.
"The man who despises himself tries to gain self-esteem from sexual adventure – which can’t be done, because sex is not the cause, but an effect and an expression of a man’s sense of his own value." - Ayn Rand

Accept that life is not fair and move the fu*k on.
Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
