    If Brad Pitt is the perfect 10, then the personality, charisma, confidence, charm, and a crooked smile makes up 7-8 while hair may give the remaining 2-3. Do the best with what you have, where you are, and how you can. Bytching is for bytches.
    Exactly!

    Dayum this was a strong "from the heart" post. I will not start with all the: "I know how you feel", "It's not that bad", or "You need to man up" talk. Although I started losing hair at a very young age, I wasn't a very high norwood by my late teens/early twenties. Even now at 38 I still have a good amount of hair. I just think that it is unfair to judge guys unless you have gone through similar circumstances. According to hairlessM's post, his own mom used to give him shit about being bald. That's a lot to deal with. It just has to be tough living as an extremely bald guy at such a young age and I give you guys credit for doing it.

I don't blame women or society for looking down on us, the majority in this forum all agree as well, that's why they're all here. It really is gross looking.

    And before anyone says it's all in my head, I never cared about it at all for the first 10 years but it was everybody else who made a big deal about it. My own mother and family used to tell me I looked horrendous with a shaved head and that no one will ever hire me or no woman will ever want to be with me. I heard it for years and years from everyone around me. Soon as it became obvious I was destined to be nw7 before 30 everyone began with the it "looks good", "it suits you", "don't worry about it" and all that rubbish. A complete 180 turn ie" the feel sorry card. It was drilled directly into my face that nobody likes bald men for years, and now that I am one, they all have to bite their tongue.

    Hows that for a bitter rant?
    My mom's friends used to laugh at me, both adult males and females, and say 'this old man looks ugly' or 'you'll never get a woman'.

    I think looking like a creepy old man is a big part of the problem with MPB. Its just that it makes you look prematurely a lot older or can help make you look a lot younger. That IMO is the biggest factor with it. That being said you cant dwell on it because aging will hit all of us one way or another. Eventually time is the great equalizer.

    We'll see who gets the last laugh when you show up ripped wearing a hair piece. That'll show em!

    Yeah, really. As alluded to in other posts, I often see guys with such minimal hair loss that its barely even noticeable claiming how baldness isn't that bad, while the guys who are NW6's and NW7's are the ones who vent the most about how bad hair loss actually is. As you said, it is really unfair to judge people unless you have gone through similar circumstances. I highly doubt that guys with extremely minimal hair loss would be singing the same tune if they were completely bald on top.

    I know a bloke who had a full head of hair until he hit 43, then within 2 years it was totally gone. Genetic - his father did the same.
    He is 63, but he looks about 50. Healthy, handsome and happy. The thing that makes him look younger is his self confidence - he smiles, as if to say 'f^ck the lot of you - i'm happy'.
    If youre losing it you need to cut it realy short.
    Exercise and good food and away you go!

    Screw that! Who wants to smile like a moron all the time just to compensate for baldness, tell me, why do we need to do that exactly?! I thought baldness was not a big deal, surely we would be allowed not to smile for a second and not be considered grumpy creepy balding assholes for not smiling right?

    Self-confidence needs to come from something, and you cannot be truly confident if you're bald, especially in your 20's. You can only pretend you are confident in that case, and people will interpret it as arrogance by a hot 19 years old girl: "What is this creepy bald guy doing? I mean he's bald! Doesn't he know his place?!"

    FlightTL: I would disown anyone who did that to my sons. You're probably more mature than your mother and her "friends." Totally agree with Notcoolanymore. Remember, you've got youth on your side, hair or not. The people in your mother's age group will NEVER get that back, no matter how much time they spend in the gym or money on cosmetic procedures. Believe me, I know.

    I appreciate Joan's and NotCoolAnymore's comments. I will focus on natural fitness. By that, I'll just eat whole foods if I can, and do pushups and crunches. I found this video on why folks should stay natural while bodybuilding. Makes me want to just eat fruits and healthy stuff, and stay natural.
