Norwood Reaper got me, Need advice

The Norwood reaper has claimed me. I' at like a Norwood 4, so the battle has been lost for some time now. Finasteride/minox is not an option at this point because of sides.

If I go to the bars with a backward hat, I can still slay. Definitely harder without it.


My options as I see it:

1. Keep my look as heavily balding.
2. Shave my head completely.
3. Hair system. It seems like they've gotten pretty good. My main issue is that while I think it will make the bars easy mode, dating wise eventually I will have to tell the person. Also high maintenance for the system. If anyone has tried a hair system and has advice interested to hear.

Bald & beard depending on beard genetics.


Hiding it only makes it worse.

The beard genetics luckily are on point. But I definitely need to bulk to complete the look.

It's really shaving my head and being not as attractive to most women but having more confidence and not hiding, vs wearing a hair system that is high maintenance and looks great but is straight up hiding.

“Because of Sides” lol you ignoramus. Have you even tried the drugs? I’ve seen before pics of dudes with severe diffuse thinning gain nearly all their hair back with Minoxidil/Microneedling. Try them out before you dismiss a treatment option.
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

Going through all that will affect your confidence anyways.

Shaving hurts at first, you wont recognize yourself. After awhile you come to enjoy it, might be cope but if so its effective as I really enjoy rocking a shaved head now.

I never had great hair to begin with though.

I hope you did everything you’ve ever wanted to do in life, slept with the women you wanted to sleep with, settled down, raised a family. In a recent poll on word association, women responded with “creepy” as the first thought when hearing the word bald or balding.

Tours over boyo.

I started buzzing my head with clippers at 25, most girls will still bang you if you're in shape, have a decent face and can make them laugh.
