    Default Highlander is right

    Nothing wrong with balding as long as it suits you, where with some men it does. Strathem, vin diesel.

    However Highlander has a point, it knocks points of your looks if it doesn't suit you. It messes up facial symmetry, as the hair frames the top of your face, with the jaw framing the bottom with the nose being your 'mid centre'. Beauty is about symmetry,and often these changes are subtle.

    I recently had a jaw operation, my nose and jaw has changed, with the changes being 3-4 mm MAX. But god, eveything looks symmetrical and better. 2 points up looks wise (With the right hairstyle).

    And I think the hardest thing for A LOT of guys losing their is knowing they can look better, but are powerless to change it.

    Although Highlander has some views which I don't agree with, in regards to race, I feel people telling him that its all in his head should hold back. He is at the early stages of hairloss, and that is probably the worse because you just want to stabalise it whilst you can.

    I also think ANY HT, or scientist reading this thread should get this sorted out ASAP. I can frankly say, now that I look slightly better due to my recent op, I no longer worry about hiding my jawline which I did by growing a beard. Such a weight off my shoulders. I can now be more relaxed when I socialize. (sounds familiar hairloss sufferers?)

    Dont really want to shed my identity here. But here are some good pictures:








    Their profile has changed big time.

    Im also sure each their confidence and self esteem has improved because they look better.

    Often the changes are a few millimetres here and there, but the most important thing is facial symmetry.

    Highlander is literally retarded.

    But sometimes right.

    Indeed, not everyone has a face that would look good without hair framing it. Furthermore, I think rocking the shaved-head look REQUIRES you to be low bf%/muscular. Fat bald guys look like slobs and skinny bald guys look like cancer patients. And let's be honest, most men are unwilling or unable to put in the work to fully dedicate themselves to the look a la Statham, The Rock, etc.

    Not even gonna front, every single one of the people in those pictures looked 1000x better post op. I do, however, think a lot of those were pretty extreme cases. But yeah, those girls went from I wouldn't even notice to couple drinks away from temporary love.

    My face is actually rather asymmetrical. I think I slept on one side (left side) my entire life and it is somewhat flatter and "shorter" (if you are to look from the side, the width of the head). I noticed probably a year ago and started purposely sleeping on the other side, which felt extremely uncomfortable, because I was so used to sleeping on my left side. Again, the differences are very minimal, no one has ever said anything, I think we all notice little things like that.

    Retarded is not a good way to put it, but he is very sick minded - and seldom right about anything.

    These are photos of people with birth defects of varying degrees. It is just wrong to use them to draw comparisons about hereditary hair loss.

    Guys believe what ever you'd like, but I personally know atleast half a dozen guys with shaved heads, some are even over weight, but they have decent faces and great personalities and get good looking women. So I guess what YOU can draw from this is to take care of your face first lol.

    I will never try to stop you from achieve physical perfection (unless it is seriously hazardous to your health (I will also not authoritatively pontificate on your mental well being)), just want you to enjoy life in the mean time and know you still live happily if you chose to.

    Both look shit.

    And I am one of them with the 'birth defect'

    The jaw frames your the lower half of your face.

    Your hair frames your forehead.
