god how pathetic.
In the 90s I played guitar in metal bands. Had hair half way down my back, or longer. Women were jealous of my hair.
circa mid to late 90s / later mid 20s it was thinning and receding.
went to a few gigs and observed some dudes perhaps 2 to 5 years older still in denial and trying to pull off the look they had in the late 80s and thought to myself "yeah **** that" and went to the hairdressers and got it all buzzed off. they actually tried to talk me out of it but i was like "THIS FAR NO FURTHER".

yeah it's an adjustment because your identity is kind of tied up in your appearance and the image that you chose for yourself but **** man **** carrying on like this. get some clippers, lift some weights, develop a personality. most of the men rated "the sexiest in the world" are bald and dudes on this forum act like it means "oh no woe is me it's all over now".

Not really true, i mean women are more attracted to men who are tall and have hair so they care?

Have you tried cutting your hair short? What about shaving your head? How about growing a beard or goatee? Have you tried minoxidil?

You'd be hard pressed to find a woman who wouldn't at least mildly hnng, moral of the story for guys worried about the reaper is be lean, well dressed and make some money and if you're already ugly then hair doesn't matter anyway so why tf you even care

ok legit problems with being bald:

1. head gets fkn freezing in the winter.
2. head burns in direct sunlight.

therefore hats.
plenty of hatless pics on my instagram though and no shortage of women jackin emselves off every time i post one.

As a guy who went bald at 22, my experience is the exact opposite of what you've described OP.

As soon as I noticed receding, I shaved it to the bone and have had it that way since. The process of losing hair and trying to compensate with hairstyles is painful to watch...I decided to just BE bald instead on GOING bald over time.

Also, happening while I was young was literally the best time it could have happened...I was young, strong, confident and ambitious so it barely affected me, as I was in that delusional stage of life where I thought I was hot sh*t regardless of anything. It never affected my ability to get women, seemed like they all loved it shaved tbh.

Watching my friends go through it now in middle age is horrific. They are out of shape, married and slowing down....the process of balding is just a painful reminder every time they are in front of a mirror that they are getting old. Seeing their wives make fun of it is not helping LOL. Mu wife met me when I was already a skinhead so there has been no change there.

Sounds counter-intuitive, but being young when it happens is better than when you're old. That has been my experience anyway.

If I ask my mother 1 thing that my father has been saying since the moment they met, it would be ' I'm losing my hair'
He went from a Norwood 1 when they met to a NW3.5 in over 30 years. He still looks good, but I notice that he doesn't like his Norwood status.
If he would have shaven it off like you did when he was young, he would be even more confident and wouldn't be bitching about it.
I cannot for the hell of it, convince him of shaving it off and becomming even better than he already is.

started balding when i was 19. i was terrified but i shaved it almost right away. ive had a shaved head for like 15 years now. it's just part of me. it happened so early in my life that it didn't ruin anything i had going on. it kind of just pushed me to lose weight.


stone cold got the shaved head over for us pale dudes.

The anti HT and fin crowd reminds me of the anti bodybuilding crowd IRL.

Nothing like telling men on a forum that is basically aboutLOOKSMAXINGto accept a worse fate because the same things normies say about bodybuilding; it's feminine, it's gay, it doesn't matter.

Their supporting evidence:
The same 5 dudes out of MILLIONS

Oh and their anecdotal evidence as well, but who are the biggest slayers IRL? MEN WITH HAIR.

Bottom line; if you want to attract more women, you'll do what it takes to have and keep your hair.

If you want to impress bald coping men, shave your head, so they can tell you what a good little boy you are now that you get less women.

Choose your fate; live for others accepting a worse fate (like normies do NOT lifting) or live for yourself and do what it takes to look yourbest

I didn't need one according to people who told me I looked fine before getting the 1st one, same people now say I look better.

There is no point in me doing something 80-90%



Perfection is within reach or as close to it as I can get, saving 3k USD and a few days does nothing for me in the long run.
