I thinks LOTS of us can identify with the whole "able to give others support and advice, but can't do the same for ourselves"

You sound like you are on the right path, keep it up!

First, your head shape is fine.

Second, I received first reaction comments from friends and family, but after a couple of days or a couple of times around them, it was like nothing had even happened. I received my fair share as a pale and skinny dude, but they went away.

Third, just as the comments disappeared so did my own self-consciousness. I started to get comfortable with looking at myself in the mirror and I started growing into the look.

I'm not going to sugar coat anything and say that shaving your head helps you get girls or anything like that BUT at the same time, you can use this as a challenge and if you can conquer it, your confidence will benefit and henceforth you won't have a problem with the ladies.

I think as bald guys it's harder to make the killer first impression (unless you are around women who specifically love bald guys -- and believe me, there are women out there like this!) but if we are confident, we can make the LASTING impression that matters. It's all about how you carry yourself and if someone tries to tell you otherwise, they don't know what the f they are talking about.

It is not easy... Sometimes, I am accepting the problem... But other times I just wish there was a cure.


No, it's not easy. I shaved a full head of hair for St. Baldricks and agreed to keep it shaved for a few months.  I began losing hair while my head was shaved and did notice until I tried to grow it back and found that I was almost completely bald. No time to prepare.

Sometimes I wish there was a cure, too, but there isn't and I don't think there ever will be. This is just something we have to learn to live with. It all comes down to two choices: shave your head or wear a horseshoe. It seems like a no-brainer to me unless you really want to look like a middle aged man while you're still in your 20s.

Conehead??  I don't think so. A lot of people have your shape.  You look fine.  You just need confidence to own the look.  The self conscious feeling wears off in a couple weeks.
