As a 23 year old with severe diffuse unpatterned alopecia, nothing brings me more pain than to see a guy with a really thick head of hair. I saw a 50yo news reporter on TV with an incredibly dense head of hair, combed back in a Norwood show-off hairstyle, and it killed me. Even this old *** guy has a thick head of hair, but I'm 23 and 90% of my hair density is gone. Your 20s are supposed to be the time where you enjoy life with a thick NW0. But I got stuck with this sickly, repulsive, premature hairloss.
My hairloss not only means I will never be attractive to any woman under 30, but has implications to nearly all aspects of my life, including career. People with this hairloss look damaged, and in turn appear less competent. Getting a job will be harder, as will be getting promoted. Getting managerial positions as a bald man are especially difficult, because bald men lack "charisma". Job performance is somewhat difficult to assess objectively, so people look at you holistically, and a big part of people's holistic assessment of you is your looks.
