My heart goes out to you for experiencing this at young age, no one should look/feel 45 when you're 22. Most people have no sympathy abslutely brutal.

All the voice cracking and quivering when you were talking about how life was as a balding  man still shows that it still brings up strong emotions. I'm happy for you that you managed to ascend.

Us guys with Male Pattern Baldness straight go from 18 years old to 45 years old. We literally skip our prime years and go straight to middle age. God really did us dirty

hair is so important, i've never seen a dude look better bald instead a full head of hair

What I find annoying is when they talk about the rock and Jason statham looking good bald but those men are 50. I’m pretty sure they won’t look good at 20 year old bald

I have a full head of hair, but I'm short. Girls don't look at me.

It maybe sounds weird but me getting bald was a big motivation to become better in looks and becoming a better person. I was a insecure, lazy and unhealthy dude how lived in my parents attic room playing videogames. When I was 24 i noticed my receding hairline, that was the moment I realized I need to work. I started with going to the gym and through the years I quit a lot of bad habbits like porn, alcohol, cigarettes, junkfood and stuff. I learned how to be more confidence and social skills. Started with nofap, cold showering, meditation's and stuff.
And now I am a 31 year old bald guy, 6ft1, mascular, Healthy looking and I do a lot do a lot better in life. I do better with women and I've been promoted at my job.

You need to have a damn near perfect face like Jeremy Meeks to get away with being bald.

''I was destined for the Norwood reaper''
Life can be so brutal.

I didn’t notice until Chadlite pointed it out.  How young itches [college aged] have a strong preference for hair.  That age group wants a YOUNG good looking guy

I've been bald for over 10 years and I'm 27 now. In the beginning I was very overweight and the bald look really made me look worse, it's not a good combination. Since I lost a shitload of weight, gained a lot of muscle (good genetics), revealed my jawline, combined with my big lips, good beard growth and overall facial symmetry, no one ever comments on my bald head negatively. Heck, on dates, girls tell me the bald look really suits me and that I have a good head shape for it and I look very attractive. Some people even said that hair would probably make me look worse, yet again, without asking, in a complimentary way. It's really up to your genetics, overall facial structure and how well you carry yourself.

Man at 23 i was losing hair crazy even with finasteride, I was getting shit talked by EVERYONE in the family. After a year of minoxidil + microneedeling, people don't say shit anymore. Jesus christ

The advice is always the same. "Get jacked, get some tattoos and grow some beard ".

In the end, you have 10 bald/ding guys who look exactly the same as the club bouncer lol

And the always 3 famous exemples for the balding guys to cope of The Rock, Jason Statham and Vin Diesel  are ridiculous. They are not just bald guys, they are super famous, have millions, are tall/lish, have great muscular bodies, etc. They are not the average bald Joe.

You can say that they are the most attractive in the bald department guys, but fall short in the overall list of attractive men. They "lose" easily to the Brad Pitt´s, Idris Elba´s, Henry cavill´s out there, in almost every women list.

That is the reality, like it or not.

I'm a firm believer in "aux naturale", so when it gets down to it, I will definitely be rocking the Shaolin dome lmao

I noticed when bald, your head shape becomes your hair in a way, but not everyone can pull it off, and it is very unfortunate to go from, attractive with hair, to hideous without hair. I know a few guys who actually aged well AFTER going bald.

8:50 Jesus Christ. I can hear the pain in your voice. Ive had similar situations. I worked at a bar and people would CONSTANTLY ask me if I had kids, if i had a wife. There was one time I actually laughed when one guy told me "You look pretty young for an old guy" I was 23.

shave your head and do pull ups -- no regrets. People treat me like I'm Lex Luthor. I'm fortunate that I went to a military adjascent school when I was younger and had already experienced shaved head life -- women loved it. I went from being cute with curly hair to being hot without hair

It was not being bald that held you back, it was being bald mixed with being overweight. Being bald when you are in your mid 20’s and after can definitely be a positive trait to your appearance as it gives a masculine look. Being overweight gives the look of your entire head looking like a traffic cone because of the chubby cheeks and thick and sagging neck. It can definitely be a turn off for most girls in college because it will make you look like a man in their 30’s but that is not necessarily a bad thing and some girls at those ages do find the masculine bald look appealing but again, being overweight drops the overall appearance significantly. If you had lost all of the excess weight and made that the priority, I don’t think the hair transplant would have been necessary

I remember reading a story of a woman getting cancer treatment, coming home bald, and her dog not recognizing her

I started balding in my mid 30s. Didn’t affect me at all in having a mate but maybe due to being 6’4. Now into my 40s am worried and miss having hair so maybe a hair system will be in the near future
