Your thread title sounds like a good pickup line actualy.

just shave it off, dont bother trying to hide it,

Mass_Impact · 2011-02-02T19:40:02+00:00

Women will be attracted to a man who just accepts it and doesn't hold onto the little bit of hair left to his head. Take the cueball look and proceed to look badass for the next decade. It may take awhile to get used to but once you do it's worth it

A lot of people here have already recommended the same, just shave it.

If it bothers you, shave it. Other than that, you shouldn't be worrying so much, since at the end of the day it's merely something superficial unrelated to your game.

If you try to use it to justify why your game is less than you'd like it to be, thats just an excuse. We all have physical flaws, but personality overcomes.

I really think the thing to do is own it. Don't try to hide it. Combing your hair in a certain particular way might make you look good in the mirror or in a photo, but it looks really bad to everyone around you. The best thing to do is just to cut it short. Not necessarily shaved, but short enough that you're just a guy with short hair. Grow a beard or get piercings or find some other way to make your hair a less prominent part of your appearance. There are plenty of attractive guys with very short hair. Can you think of any attractive guys with delicately placed comb-overs? Growing your remaining hair out fools nobody, and it just makes you look insecure and past your prime.

tl;dr: go short, don't worry about it.

Now for some real advice that isn't just "Shave it off".

I want you to google hair fibres. If you are just thinning on top and the Propecia (which you should DEFINATELY be taking) is working then this will help you immensely. Electrostatic hair fibres are hair fibres with a static charge that you can shake onto your hair and they will cling to your hair, covering up any light thinning. This obviously doesn't work for full bald spots but if you have some hair it will make you a lot more confident when you go out.

Hopefully you've stuck around in the thread to read this. To everyone who says shave it off, ok he gets it, shut the fuck up. It is incredibly easy for you to just say shave it off with your thick head of hair.

Patrick Stewart has just the thing for you.

ooberboober · 2011-02-02T18:51:00+00:00

If you shave your hair and just stop worrying about what you will look like with a shaved head it'll be awesome. A buddy of mine was in your exact same shoes but he stopping being a bitch and just shaved his head. He's been shaving his hair for 2 years and has had at least 4 or 5 occasions where women have opened him with kino at a bar to just touch his head. I looked back at his pictures in college and realize he should have been shaving for way longer. Stop looking at the downsides and just fucking do it. A few months later you will realize you were just being a pussy.

Fuck me, I'm balding.

Some girls will:)

Which of these guys do you think is considered more attractive: *Richard Stallma *Patrick Stewart

(As an aside, Patrick Stewart lost his hair at the same age as you.)

Cut your hair short. It looks better and shows confidence. Or if you don't like that, ask a professional stylist. I realise as guys we don't like to fuss over hair but if it's causing you such problems then ask a professional.

And although others have said this, I can't emphasise it enough; never ever do a combover

You didn't say how old you are now. Don't worry about hair so much. Some girls are attracted to balding guys, just like some guys prefer women with short hair rather than long. It's not a flaw, it's just your appearance.

You know, my doctor put me on Propecia too (but for the original reason it was developed, before they discovered it made you grow hair). I've always been very full haired, only the slightest bit of receding hair line. I'm already 52 without major hair loss (like my dad) and I just have a little grey at the temples (people say it "looks distinguished," I hate that). But now I've been on Propecia for 6 months, I just went for a haircut and the salon girl is astonished at how my receding hairline is now advancing back to where it was when I was much younger. I have so much more hair growing, I don't know what to do with it. My beard grows at an amazing rate. My hair salon girl has to trim my eyebrows or they'd be an inch long by now. I bought a Wahl Manscaper clipper kit, it will trim everything from that excess ear hair and nose hair (yeah wait till you get middle aged and have excess ear and nose hair) to my excess chest and body hair. I asked my doctor, I'd kind of like to get off Propecia, I have more hair than I need. But he says I have to keep taking it.

Sorry, I guess I didn't have much of a point in that story. I just wanted to taunt you with my excellent hair. ;)

There is hope brother.

It's legit.

monstercheese · 2011-02-02T22:12:42+00:00

im starting to thin too. cared a lot a while ago. care less now. i dunno, i think self-esteem in general just takes time to build (and rebuild). but if it makes you feel any better, i'm sure one of the first practical applications of stem cell technology will be to 'cure' trivial aesthetic things like this.

boesej · 2011-02-03T00:26:31+00:00

Yeah, there will be some women that don't like it... but you'll never have a chance with them anyway so get over it. I know it sucks, but you'll learn in time that for some women it doesnt matter. Focus on them.

heightmatters · 2011-02-03T01:01:19+00:00

Women care more about you feel about it. Just shave your head or buzz it low. Height matters, though.

MrRisky · 2011-02-03T01:11:50+00:00

I started losing my hair at 18. Hairline receeding and very thin on top. I quickly learned it looks best cut very short, military style. I wear a "high fade" like Johnny Unitas in the left most pic at the bottom of the page. I'm 33 now, and still have pretty much the same hairline I did at 26 or so.

Everybody telling you to own it (although they're downvoted) are right on. I'm shorter than average (5'8"), balding, blonde (so my hair looks even thinner than it actually is), have a goofy first name and have a slight lisp. I still do fine.

I don't know why

msmiitz · 2011-02-03T04:01:46+00:00

I've got alopecia areata (universalis)..which means I have no hair anywhere on my body. As long as you have a normally shaped head, just shave it. You'll get used to it much faster than you think.

Its just hair.

Avi88 · 2011-02-03T07:35:54+00:00

dude, embrace! i used to be very self-conscious about my receding hairline, but i've since cut it short and now it looks somewhat like GOB from arrested development. it's actually the first joke i'll make about myself in an awkward situation

mostposthost · 2011-02-02T17:30:34+00:00

I started losing my hair at 16. It's never bothered me. All of the males in my family are bald. Even the ones I'm not related too.

_Uatu_ · 2011-02-02T17:51:14+00:00

I have great hair. It's amazing. I'm fat. I've tried losing weight, and I just fail every time. I'm 32. Shit sucks. Get over it. Some things aren't within your control.

Jason Statham is balding with a receding hairline. He probably pulls more than anyone you have met. It's just hair. Cut it short and don't worry what it looks like when the wind blows, it's too short to move anyway. Receding hairline is correlated with high levels of testosterone. There's tons of other things you could fruitfully focus on, something you can actually change.

Look into is hair transplants. From what I've read, the technology looks pretty good. It's really expensive, like 10-20k, but it might be worth it to you if this is that big a deal. The upside is that it's permanent.

From hairstylist friends I've talked to, it seems to work pretty well. Supposedly there is a risk of scarring if you want to shave your head bald at some point in the future, but that may have been with the older technology.

Propecia carries with it a risk of erectile dysfunction and reproductive problems. Plus it goes away if you stop using it. Not worth it in my book.
