Hey Cypher,
The Pics look good man. Go with the 0 length. Look, the thing is you are a pretty handsome dude and for a lot of men, losing hair is what happens to us. We are men, and we ought to own who we are and carry it well.
As a confidence booster it also helps to workout a little. Through a little muscle on. Get strong cardiovascular fitness . You'll be shining from the inside out. The sooner we face people with our (very manly) predisposition the more comfortable we will feel in our own skin.
Good luck mate.
