Lu, you have to tan your balls and take ice baths to reverse this.

This.

Lu, I’m 50 and still have a full head of hair. Although I’ve had a “widow’s peak” hairline my entire life I’ve kept the hair from receding by will power alone.

OH FFS!

This thread has made my shitty day at work less shitty! Thank you all!

What are you all using for a trimmer at home?

I'm going bald as fuck and it doesn't bother me at all, other than another signpost of my own aging. Saw a photo of myself at work this week and it's pretty clear I'll be looking like Bernie Sanders pretty soon. Into it. Shave my head once a year, and start looking like Sideshow Bob about Sept. or so and do it all again.

Dudes and hair, man. Fucking wild pathology at play there. Embrace it, friend! I don't know shit about fuck with regards to the dating scene, but I'm gonna guess it's a feature and not a bug on that front.

I started losing mine on top in my early 20s, as is family tradition. Was totally expecting it to happen, so I just rolled with it. 2+ decades later and I embrace the horseshoe haircut. Just run a #2 clipper guard over my skull every couple weeks and call it good. I compensate by occasionally rocking a luxurious beard.

Male Pattern started about in my mid 30's, radiation Baldness around the same time. If I let it get "combable" it used to look like I had an apostrophe of baldness in my head. that said, my hair hasn't been more than an eighth inch long in a decade. So who the fuck knows. Rock the Dome Lu. Fuck it

I started going bald in my mid-late 20's. After trying to hide it for a while, I started to shave my head at home. This is basically what I've done for years. I had a bushy beard that was drawing comparisons to a lawn gnome, so I've gone back to the Fester look.

I do miss my hair every day. Mine also had a widow's peak, which kept the charade going longer.

fuck it, man. link me up!

Now we need a type of blading polls…
