Question about bald/balding young men

1) if their hair is recededing or thinning a bit should they grow it out a bit and keep what they have or just shave it off (buzz very short) and get done what is going to happen anyway?

2) if you're a girl...would you date either the guy on the left or right in this photo (if you didn't know the guy on the right had a hair piece on of course). This isn't me btw! Just some random pic i found online as a demo.

Being bald never stopped this guy from approaching hot girls:

Seriously, it doesn't matter. It's your personality and confidence that count, not how much hair you have.

I got told a balding guy with confidence can actually be attractive as it shows a relaxed attitude.

I think you should always turn an insecurity into an advantage.

That video proves a bald guy can get girls. I mean, baldness never stopped guys like Phil Collins getting women, or women from fancying them.

Sexiness isn't measured in hair. Some bald men are seriously hot.

Are they? How do you know that one is fake or not?

Just shave it...... nothing looks more silly than trying to keep your hair too long. And heaven forbid you go for the forward combover look..... yeah no-one does the bobby charlton, but I seen plenty of guys your gel or mold it forward from the back.

From experience you can't really do much with thinning hair, wind and lighting play havoc with it. Just shave it 100%, I actually found it improved my posture too seeing I was no longer stooping or angling myself with the wind so it swept the right way and I don't have to avoid certain lighting on nights out anymore.

Phil Collins is a celebrity. The rules that apply to normal people don't apply to celebrities.

Unless she's 35+, balding is a deal breaker for most women

Just shave it off. Receding hair looks ****. I'm a bald guy. It's scary at first to razor all your hair off as it feels kinda wrong, but once you do it you never go back. You'll feel much better. No more worrying about hair.

To answer you're first question they should when they are start thinning consult a dermatologist/hair specialist to identify whether it is Male Pattern Baldness or alopecia. if it is MPB then he should try minoxidil or propecia and even look into getting an hair transplant if possible,

i am a man and know how sacred hair is to men
