I hate male pattern baldness because my hemispheres aren’t symmetrical.

We are not the same.

    Still better than Friedrich Merz (that german chancellor with the bush on his upper forehead). ;)

    In the end it is the inevitable process of aging that everyone has to endure who didn’t die young. Wrinkly skin, grey hair, shrinking muscles, back pain, fading eye sight, balding,… Some things can be changed to a degree. And for the things you cannot change: Mourning is a process and acceptance is the goal or something like that.

    Sorry if women aren’t allowed to comment here but there’s plenty of us, myself included who don’t mind baldness and I actually think a shaved head/completely bald is super sexy

      Let me add that there’s also plenty of us that don’t mind male pattern baldness and don’t find it necessary for the men to shave. The partial baldness looks just ok, no need to feel bad about it!

      You haven’t seen my shaved head.

      I buzzed it during a deployment and I made Billy Corgen look sexy. :/

      Agreed on completely bald. I always idolized men like that in my youth. Now I’m a cool kid!

      And yes, you’re welcome here!

    I would be annoyed by that too. Mine has thinned in a relatively symmetrical way that lets me have my skullet. I’m happy with that, though I would still prefer to have my full head of hair back for sensory and sun reasons.

    I knew I was going to bald out way before I did because I heard about the genetics of it when I was a kid still. So that left me with time to grieve and accept the fact before it started.

    I would maybe just keep it close trimmed, but I really love the feel of it across my shoulders still, so I keep it full length for that.

        Lmmfao! That’s the first time anyone has brought that up!

        And yes, yes it does.

        If you’re bored, a mini story.

        I have used that pic for a while now. The whole “beard bird” joke and captain caveman’s beard pterodactyl have always made me giggle.

        But, not too long after I set that image, I got chickens. One of them was teeny tiny and not old enough to go outside much since it was full on winter. She loved my beard. She’d get into it and snuggle in, then make cute little pewpew noises until she fell asleep.

        While she has never laid an egg in my beard, because she grew out of wanting to nap there at all, she did lay other things in it a few times while snoozing. And every now and then, when I’m carrying her places, she decides to stick her head into my beard and rustle it around for some reason. So choosing that pic was oddly prescient since we still call her my beard bird
