80% of men will experience a significant degree of hair loss. What are some encouraging bits of advice that may help young, worried men?
It’s not the end of the world. You shave it off, get on with things, and life carries on as usual.
Like it or not, you’ll only draw in women who are already into you 
Getting older’s a bit rubbish. If losing your hair’s the worst of it, you’re doing alright.
Plenty of bald blokes are doing just fine. Stay in shape and make a decent living. You won’t be short on attention.
So long as personality’s not a requirement, these sound pretty achievable.
If you’re not after anything long-term, you’re in luck!
like i said from the other thread. However bad you think you look, self-pity is far uglier than being bald.
I found that women don’t really care (unless you’re very young). In fact, some actually find bald blokes particularly attractive. Like someone else said: confidence is key. Don’t try to hide it. Never, ever go for a “comb over” or a wig. And don’t mix: a head with long hair and bald patches just looks daft. At some point, you’ve just got to shave it all off.
If you need a bit of encouragement, think of all the great bald men before you: The Rock, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Yul Brynner, Laurence Fishburne, Idris Elba, Vin Diesel, Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Tupac, Dr Dre, Terry Crews, Patrick Stewart, Ben Kingsley… and so on.
I started to lean into it and went for the shaved head look, and honestly, I reckon it suits me better. So for me, it’s no big deal at all.
My advice? Don’t let it get to you. It’s really not as much of a drama as you’re making it out to be.
I’m actually a bit jealous of blokes who are bald and just shave it all off. I get too in my own head about my scalp looking odd or my head shape being off, and my shoulders not being broad enough to pull it off 
You’re overthinking it, mate. Bit like women stressing over stretch marks. Honestly, don’t worry about the little things. Learn to like yourself. Don’t fight what’s bound to happen with the hair, and only make changes for your own sake. No one’s perfect, and there’s no need to be jealous of others.
Look, I’m a 28-year-old balding bloke, bit on the hairy and chunky side, and I still get the odd woman showing interest now and then. If I can manage that just by being comfortable in my own skin, I’ve no doubt you can too. Best of luck to you.
I’ve found that not hiding it and just owning it when kids shout “you’re bald” works better than you’d think. I usually say, “Yep, want to give it a feel?” and for whatever reason, women seem to be into that. It’s the confidence that does it, not the hair.
Might I just add that I look rather fit bald, if I say so myself.
Feels like there’s a bit of a risk in asking random kids if they want to touch you, to be fair.
This is the sort of confidence everyone ought to have in life.
Never had an issue, not once. It’s never been awkward, never had a parent say anything other than “I’m so sorry, that’s a bit embarrassing” after something their kid’s blurted out.
You just kneel where you are, no need to wander off, crack a door open and whisper over your shoulder, “Fancy a feel, kiddo?” That’s how it gets weird and actually starts raising eyebrows.
You’ve got to be comfortable in your own skin. You’re not getting another one.
I’ve got a head that’s not exactly built for baldness, and on top of that, a cracking head of long, curly, well-kept hair that I’m genuinely proud of. If I’m not sitting here stressing over the chance I might go bald one day, why on earth should you?
Just think of all the money you’ll save on haircuts once you’ve shaved it.
