Hair systems are great today. There is no shame, really. Or get on treatment and do giga transplant.

All good mate I am not bothered really. You deal with the cards you're dealt and suck it up. I'm a ripped God so who cares ;) lol I think I'll get micro pigmentation in the future. I'll be all good with that.

If you're planning to get SMP in the future it's clearly bothering you to some extent. SMP isn't a good solution because it only works for as long as you have a somewhat decent hairline, so if you keep losing hair like your dad did and go all SMP at the front or middle it'll look ridiculous. And once you get older the black dots would look weird compared to the grey hairs at the sides, that's why it's suggested to get temporary SMP only.

Since you're a fit guy you'd probably do well on finasteride, which should keep most of your hair. And if you want to get SMP for the temples it could look decent and you wouldn't risk losing more hair later on (As long as you stay on Finasteride) although I personally wouldn't get SMP and just hope on finasteride+minoxidil, then a transplant later on if it stabilizes.

Alsooo It was only an idea. So be it if I go bald, which I will. I am happy as I am tbh.

Don't know how it is in your country but at least in mine you can keep taking meds as long as you had a prescription from a doctor. And it'd probably be easy to get one in your case since your hairline is very receded for your age.

Maybe. I'll look into it but can't say I am all that fussed. Focused on my career. Wanna do boxing and MMA competitively in the army so if I get good at those professionally my bald head won't matter!

IMO it looks better shaved than the buzz cut. You look like a younger better looking version of Mike from breaking bad

Hi. I just wanted to chime in and say that you look so much more badass, clean and masculine shaved. The views on this forum will be EXTREMELY biased because it is an anti-hairloss forum after all, so tread carefully in the comment section. Considering your passion for combat sports and general badassery, you will have no trouble fitting into your communities. Man, I can imagine you with some gold frames on and a blue tux. You'd be class af.
Im not sorry for you at all, and I have no idea why the other guys are lol. Youve got attitude of a tank and that shows that you know how to play your cards. Thats some alpha sh*t.
IMHO you have very good traits for the bald look e.g. sharp eyes, fit, stubble (beard could be cool too, but this looks great already), and a style that compliments your character. Your confidence formidable and that trumps 90% of men with hair. You will fair well with dating, but you should already know this.
Well done and best of luck!!

I appreciate your words mate. Call me crazy but I quite like the bald look! I've always said I was more masculine than others and it's just a drawback that comes with it. Also yeah definitely means I can look a bit more intimidating when fighting. I came here thinking it was a bald acceptance forum. Oh was I wrong!

Regardless as to what anyone on here thinks, the proof will be in the pudding. I highly doubt that many, if any really, females will see this as an "improvement". I agree with the others related to head shape. Why do many blacks look better bald? One thing is lack of contrast between their hair and skin color, often depending upon pigmentation. The other thing is that facial framing by scalp hair is rarely part of the African American experience in terms of hair styles at least since the Jerry-Curl days. Asian and white women and young males with moderate length hair cuts always use facial framing and this is an eye-pleasing effect perhaps because it is associated with youth in both sexes and with fertility in females.

I mean, no one says that this is for everyone. I was past my breeding days and mostly even my conjugal days when I went this route. When I started, people claimed that HRT was irreversible which it clearly is not except for breast tissue perhaps but when we are talking double A cups or whatever, those can clearly dissipate upon going off HRT meds. They other thing is that if folks can get to a point where their hair is acceptable, they may be able to cycle on and off of estrogen by using R.I's for maintenance every other year or so. Banking sperm is also a good path and for those with partners, ability to plow can be easily maintained although not libido necessarily. Gay men tend to have the most sex in a relationship followed by hetero couples and then lesbian couples statistically have the least sex although they aren't relevant to HRT but my point is that the sexual relationship will make a difference in how one approaches this.
