What is wrong in being bald

because picturing yourself as a bald man can be hard hair is a sign of youth and vitality and the way you wear it defines a lot. The MPB process is extremely depressing losing your aesthetics so young right after your puberty is a big blow in fact everytime I see the baldness having progressed it feels like a strike to the plexus telling you this as a thaiboxing competitor.

Being bald is a real social stigma among younger people also.

Its all in your mind mate. Baldness has nothing to do with youth or vitality. With a shaved head I look 32, which is my age, not younger, not older. I see 70 year old people with full head of hair and 20 year old bald men, so how could you equate the two. If you look good bald, there is no need to worry. Even without hair, you can look cool, just work on your body and facial hair style.

I just think you don't expect it to happen to you and when it does you'll do what you can to keep it or take it back.

Personally I should of tried Fin and minox well over a year ago but I didn't. Instead I buzzed my hair for the first time ever last week and Im still adjusting to it. It looks ok, but I think Ill have to go shorter as you can see my thin hair vs my non-thin sides.

But back to the OP. I guess I want to be you at some point in the future and I think I will be when I am a bit older, mature and hopefully in a stable relationship!

Suicide cures hair loss? Is this verified? You might be on to something, OP.

deep down you hate being bald since your on this board.

Being on this board doesn't mean that you hate being bald.

Yeah like it is so fun to be on this board chatting with a bunch of depressed bald guys just for the hell of it. Why you on this board than if baldness does not bother you ? This board is depressing and i bet everyone on this thing wishes they would never have to go on this thing again if a cure came.

I agree with OP that losing your hair isn't the end of the world. But being 32 and going bald is a bit different than, say 25 like me, or even 16-18 like some of the other members. Life does on, but it blows.

I also agree that facial hair and an athletic build are beneficial for a bald guy. But, again, being 32 you probably grow better facial hair than most 25 year olds, let alone 16-18 year olds.

As someone thinning pretty good and sitting on an NW2.5, I am already beginning to get all the way over it, but I would definitely prefer to keep my hair.

Being 19, with a receding hairline (almost NW3), my main problem with being balding/bald is that it looks out of place on someone my age. I knew it was in my genes from early on, I just hoped my "full head" (NW2ish strong widows peak) was going to last longer. By the time I'm 30-35 it won't be out of the norm to be losing some or all of my hair. I think it makes me look older, and I'd like to look young while I am young. Maybe I'll feel differently later on, but that's how I see it now.

edit: my facial hair is patchy at best and makes me look worse when it's grown out in my opinion. It also doesn't help with the looking older thing

Actually it is the other way around. If one is considered good looking and is suddenly going bald, it is an even worse situation. The misery created by hairloss alone is much more.

nail on the head my friend....its not that people will have less redeemable features once hairloss occurs, its that when it does occur, it feels like were exposed. i literally would feel naked if i went bald. im a good looking guy i reckon and while i dont think i have any "ugly" features, my hairloss would make me more insecure about weight,face,height...everything...hairloss is quite a good feature and its because it seems like a right to others, we see it as a privilege.now if thats what it does to decent looking blokes, think what it does to those whose only good feature is hair...

Well do you want to look old for your age or young for your age? Hair loss has a pretty huge role in that even with subtle changes like NW 0 -> NW 2 makes you look a lot older then you might even realize.
Its always hard to pin down exactly because each person sees you differently but most guys that look young for their age have NW 0 hair and its a good indicator of how old a man looks just based on their hair line.
Would justin beiber be popular if he was bald? Think about that and there is your answer. I think a strong argument exists that hair is actually very important to everyone.

A male rat prefers a variety sexual partners
A male rat put into a cage with a previously unknown female rat usually begins their relationship with a frenzy of copulation. After a while, the male rate loses interest in sex and it’s hard to persuade it to copulate with the female. When a different female, however, is put in the cage, the male again begins copulation with the new rat—but again, only for a time. If this process is repeated with new females, the male will continue to copulate until it is totally exhausted, sometimes even beyond.c
A landmark study in 1966 by the University of Minnesota–Minneapolis gathered a group of 664 student volunteers.

Researchers note that two people having similar genetics plays 34% of the role on friendship and mate selection. Additionally, if partners have similar genes, they are more likely to have a happy marriage.c
Researchers note that women are more likely to limit sexual intercourse to relationships involving affection and the possibility of marriage. Women also place more emphasis than men do on their possible partner’s socioeconomic status.
