It depends how bad the balding is and the person's face/head shape. Some guys are just better off growing it out really long and doing a combover even if it looks silly.
It was all just satire. Sorry if I offended anyone with my trolling and sickening posts. Peace and love to everyone.

You can only get away with a shaved head if you have a wide manible/robust lower third (google Dominic Purcell) otherwise you look like a preteen having a existential crisis.

Lmao no man that guy should clearly shave it

Maximum allowable balding before you should shave it off IMO

I’m at about the level of first pic admittedly

Surely he's jestermaxxing. He might be receding but you can see he has growth up front.

IMO do whatever suits you. If you want to shave it all because you think it looks better that way do it. If not, great.

Hair isn't everything. The problem with most men is when they tie their self confidence up with their appearance.

I guarantee you most dudes should focus on their personality, charisma, and humor and they will be pretty OK.

Dude in pic #1 of the OP should probably shave the wisps and go high and tight, grow out a Van Dyke goatee.
I have sampled every language and French is my favorite to curse in.

99.5% of girls won’t give a single fuk about that level of recession

I legit thought that's how some white people look naturally. I didn't know that was balding. Maybe go for those latina chicks they won't be able to tell the difference either.

Yes. Bald always looks better than balding.

You can go down the spend tons of money for hair transplants, take pills that suppress your hormones, and hope to god it comes back route, but that just sounds awful.

Honesty my hairline is like in the pictures posted and I didn’t even know I was balding until the misc and I posted pics of myself

It wrecked my life

Honestly though my balding hasn’t impacted me - no one thinks I’m balding and girls think I’m just as good as when I had a better hairline

Yea that's not even really balding. That is just recession. You can pull of a recessed look for a long time. It's common in aging men. Look at men in their 30s. It's completely normal. Miscers are just delusional and hyper-sensitive to their metrosexual outlook on men.

It's when you start getting the combo of pretty bad recession and losing it on the crown when you should just shave it and move on.

What's about this? Would this require shaving?

I think I’ll eventually lose my hair by 50

Hopefully I’ll be some reformed married dad and it won’t matter

I’m preparing for this look

I think it kinda looks better with that sort of stubble on the sides as opposed to just clean shaving everything (more sophisticated imo)
