Guys who start losing hair in their lates 30s and 40s

[DepressedByHairLoss]

I agree that the younger you are, the harder hair loss is to deal with. A friend of mine actually started losing his hair in high school and kids ridiculed him for it. I don't know how the hell I would be able to deal hair loss at that age!! I think baldness is much more acceptable to deal with later on in life because a lot more people deal with hair loss later on in life than they do earlier on. If you are a 50-year-old man and you are around other 50-year-old men, odds are that a good percentage of them will be dealing with hair loss so you won't feel ostracized and abnormal. But if you are a 20-year-old man, then odds are that most of your peers are not losing their hair, and that can make the 20-year-old think that they look ugly or abnormal. Plus, a 50-year-old man can look back and say that he lived for so many years without hair loss and can relish in the memories that he lived life as a young adult free and uninhibited by hair loss.
That being said though, hair loss can be devastating at any age. I'm 33 and I feel like hair loss is ruining my whole life, because I feel like my looks and my identity are being taken away from me. Hell, you even see plenty of guys in their 50's and 60's wearing wigs because they hate their hair loss. I have 2 close friends who do this. Lastly, I do have the utmost sympathy for Joe from Staten Island. I've listened to his story and not only did he start losing his hair early on, but he got butchered from a bad hair transplant so I'd bet he has noticeable scars and bumps on his head from the butchery of that transplant.

I hear you DepressedByHairloss & clandestine - i'd hate to have started losing my hair in my teen's, it would have been even more devastating ten fold, i don't doubt that for a minute.

But - i also get pissed off hearing younger guy's saying i shouldnt worry about it. Well, i do - and i alway's will. Luckily it's been a slow process for me - started around the age of 27, and hasn't been a rollercoaster ride to hell, but the ride is heading there - and you bet it concern's me.

Understandable, absolutely. As I've said, it's shitter. Whatever your age, people worry.

How we cope with our worries and our fears is what's important. We should aspire to embrace our fears, and do away with our worries.

Yes, at any age it sucks and people will worry but if you are 40 and cant get over hairloss, thats pretty bad. At some point you got to say screw it, im going to enjoy the time i have with my wife and kids. The young guys dont have that option, we still are searching for our identity.

Err, do you think you'll ever get over your hairloss then?! Ok - you're searching for your identity, I understand that.

I'm losing mine, I had it, liked it and it's going, so I'm pissed as well.

Well experiencing hairloss at a young age, ive grown as a person. Ive learned to appreciate the little things in life and i would do anything just to have atleast my teen years and 20s. So yes, i would get over hairloss if i was in my late 30s and 40s because its more acceptable in society. I can't walk around as a 19 year old bald guy and not feel like an alien. I said in my post, the day i get over hairloss is the day i have my first born. At some point you got to say screw it hairloss wont define me, but a young guy just can't say that, partly because we aren't even mature yet to understand why this is happening to us. You older guys should appreciate your prime years and say screw it, let me go play some sports with my kids and enjoy my family.

...... but if you are 40 and cant get over hairloss, thats pretty bad. At some point you got to say screw it,..........

Yup I agree
Wish I could do it
I still have to wake up and face the world
But Tell that to the guys who are in their 40, 50, 50 's and they still get HT 's

I agree with that too - I am thinking of buzzing it off this summer, luckily I'm in good shape and don't think I'm that ugly, still feel like its putting a gun to my head tho. I've always been known for my hair, losing it and facing my family of piss takers is a ****ing big deal for me, but I'll guess at 40 I'll have to man up
