If you go it with the attitude that you rock the look, then you're lifestyle is going to be much better than it was before. Though, if you go in with the attitude that you're a "victim" of bad genes, then you're lifestyle is going to degrade. It's really up to you bro.It's not that simple. You guys often tend to forget that the shaved look really really does not suit everyone.I think you're missing the point, Y-Y. The whole idea is how you feel about yourself. If you approach your hair loss with a "woah is me" attitude, then it really doesn't matter if you go sly or not. Although I was comfortable with my hair loss (though not happy about it), the fact that I shaved my head made me feel better about myself. Plus, I finally found relief from the scalp condition that had afflicted me for years. Lastly, how you are percieved by others is directly related to how you percieve yourself. I'll never forget a guy I knew in college. He was not wealthy, average looking at best, fairly short, and slightly overweight. But, he had one of the hottest, nicest girls as a girlfriend. His secret.....he was a lot of fun to be around! Not a jokester (though he had a great sense of humor), but just a genuinely good guy. Treated everyone with respect.How you see yourself is how others view you.

Yes, deep down it's all about attitude but there's so much more to it. It's hard to have a good attitude when I have had so much genetic bullcrap dealt at me and I'm only 25. Wonder what's next, eyesight problems like my mum or developing a severe rheumatism like my father? My point is that for some people the early hairloss can really be the final nail in the coffin.
RazorX, I can assure you that my life was much better when I didn't have this early balding to deal with. It's bound to wear one down if you don't like what you see in the mirror.

It's only the final nail in the coffin if you let it be. Do you seriously think your life is over? I assure you it is not. God willing you have an entire lifetime ahead of you yet. Don't ruin it by lamenting about your hair loss. There's nothing you can do about it anyway. Accept what you cannot change and move on. Once you do, you will feel a whole lot better.
hmmm...Wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes. Now see, you are already better of than many. Everyone has problems, be thankful that your are not worse.

Everyone has problems, be thankful that your are not worse.Yeah, thanks to all you guys for support. Anyway, that wiggle your fingers and toes part made me laugh since I only got 9 fingers. That's right, I only got 4 fingers on my right hand. I was born with all 10 but my right thumb just wouldn't develop and it had to be surgered off when I was 4. Now I have my original index finger as thumb. Just one part of the "genetic bullcrap" I was referring to earlier. Saintc, you were totally right. My problems lie way beneath hairloss. I'm not thinking about suicide or anything like that but sometimes I feel very hopeless.
