What to make of baldness?
I’ve been thinking of baldness for a while, ever since I was still a kid, trying to figure out what to make of the facts. I myself am still a young man and not showing any signs of going bald yet, and have no idea whether I’ll ever be, but, especially as someone who has always taken aesthetics and my looks seriously, the facts are already enough to concern me.
Half of all men go bald. That means that, unless you associate with very exclusive people, roughly half of all the men you will ever know will go bald, perhaps more than half for some of us. That means that, unless you’ve done a genetic test to be certain, or are fortunate enough to still be able to keep your hair in later life, that if you are male, you have roughly 50/50 chance of going bald. That’s a very high ratio! You could even play the bet safer by assuming that you WILL indeed go bald. As baldness can develop in males as young as in their teens, that means that if you’re a man, that you could start going bald at any time! I’m not suggesting that there’s anything wrong with a bald look, but I think most would agree that it’s generally better to be able to keep your hair than not. For most of us young men, having had hair on our heads for virtually our wholes lives, it’s probably hard to imagine and comprehend not being able to have it. Fellow males, what are we going to do??
You don’t have to share whether you’re bald or not, but I don’t see why we can’t at least share our opinions on it.
Since it affects half of all men, why isn’t baldness considered like a world health issue or something?
Still being a young man with no idea whether I’ll go bald or not, I speak as a potential bald person, so please take no offense!

I was buzzed half of my life so it isnt concern me. Its not a health issue since it isnt have any other effect outside the look lol.

Well, 50% of men will become bald. At the same time 100% of men will die.
That's more concerning if you ask me ;P

If you are balding but not yet completely bald, the best solution is to either shave off completely or to do a hair transplant in Turkey.

The main factor is Cortisol - the stress hormone - putting hair follicles to sleep, as well as nutrition, especially insulin activating foods like sugars, as well as alcohol. There are factors, and the more factors you add (stress, dietary, smoking, excessive fapping, etc) the more likely hair loss is.

It's important to note that there are degrees of balding. They use what's known as the Hamilton-Norwood Scale to determine it. Some men will go full cueball horseshoe pattern, some will have no recession, and most will have a little recession at the corners or the front hairline.

For most of us young men, having had hair on our heads for virtually our wholes lives, it’s probably hard to imagine and comprehend not being able to have it. Fellow males, what are we going to do??

It's called getting old, it gets worse from there on.

Men have being going bald in their 20s for literally centuries. Its entirely genetic.

Some men also think they are balding but just have a receded hairline which will stay at one spot.

The worst thing you can do is give a shit what you hair looks like and try obvious shit to hide the fact you're balding. Just shave it off if it gets too bad and be confident about it.

Since it affects half of all men, why isn’t baldness considered like a world health issue or something?

Simply because it's a cosmetic issue with no impact on a person's health or quality, do you really think governments are obligated to cover male baldness, as balding lowers male quality of life and thus violates the male civil and human right to a full head of hair?

They don't care about men unless they want to transition to females, maybe you should get on girl pills before you start to go bald lel.

Spoiler!

Gender identity insecurity is biological while hair loss insecurity is a social construct.
