Exactly zircon. He will be in for a rude awakening when he enters the realm of true baldness.
"What?! You mean that hitting the gym, tanning (and increasing my skin cancer risk), and making money doesn't frame my face with hair?! Damn."
No need for the negativity, man. And I didn't imply tanning. More like going outside and doing something interesting. And no, all those things certainly won't frame your face with hair, but that's exactly the point. There is more to life and attractiveness than hair. You can be okay without it.

Stop talking non sense dude. Just look at any top sexy men ranking, it's filled with bald muscular tanned guys. It's exactly what women want!
You've gotta ignore stuff like that. Most of those people are picture-perfect movie stars and celebrities, which we would never be like anyways. How many of you have arms or chests or abs or a jawline like the guys in those lists? Very few, I imagine.
Furthermore, how many women do you see in the "top sexy ranking" that don't have perfect skin (no acne or stretch marks), teeth, and bodies? Probably none, or close to none. But we still find everyday women who don't have those things attractive. Another example, most of those women probably have either huge boobs or slim, toned bodies. But I personally would get with a girl who has neither of those things - if she has plenty of other attractive qualities, which she easily could.
Hollywood's standards of beauty tarnish both men and women's image of themselves. Yes, movie stars have hair. But, then again, they also have perfect smiles, teeth, and muscles. Real-world men don't look like movie stars. And real-world women are okay with that.

It's like a cliché bingo:
- "I'll just shave it off when the time comes." (currently NW2-2.5, I assume)
- "I see plenty of bald guys that do well."
- "Hit the gym and get a tan."
- "Baldness is no biggie with women, you just need to keep your chin up and smile."
All based on no evidence at all other than your motivated reasoning. Wow.
What evidence do you based your negativity off of other than pessimistic reasoning? You might say your own experience, but you probably haven't seriously tried to go out and live life without moping around and feeling sorry for yourself, which will totally alienate you socially regardless of your hair or lack of it.
And it is not based off no evidence. My best friend since elementary school's dad was totally bald at 22. And he is one of the happiest, most outgoing people I know. And he's not extremely rich or successful either, yet he has a good family, attractive wife, and lively social life. Impossible!
And I actually make a point of talking to most of the bald guys I know or meet, at the gym or around, since I seem to be heading that way myself. Most of them unequivocally say the sooner you shave it the better off you are. Moping and feeling bad for yourself is what makes it seem bad.
Don't get me wrong, it sucks. Having hair will always be better than having no hair. But life goes on. It could be plenty worse. Reading this site and spending too much time thinking about it just blows it way out of proportion. If I ever decide to shave, I'm never looking back and never logging onto this site again. C'est la vie.
