You can translate all posts from thinning into whitening and it's a similar story.

You can further substitute any term you like for "thinning" or "whitening" and it's still the same story. We all have things that we don't like about our own appearances. Those of us with MPB tend to get fixated with hair loss and think those who don't have MPB have it made. But I guarantee you those people are struggling with some other issue -- which to them is a huge deal, but the rest of the world is probably oblivious to it.
Adam,you make so much sense.I started losing my hair in my early 20s and it was very traumatic.Guys my own age and older would tease me about it and it would hurt. Others would just stare at my head and I felt very self concious.I was wearing hairpieces all those years up until a couple of years ago.I'm 50 now and I for the most part have gone natural and keep my hair close cropped like yours.It's easier to accept now because I'm older and it's more common.When your young people react differently either by poking fun or by saying,"Oh my God,he's losing his hair so young" People don't make as big a fuss when you're older. Now that I have the age I actually look hot this way with my short hair and facial hair but when I was 22 I looked like a balding baby. My vote is that it's easier to accept when you're older. Adam,you look good the way you wear your hair. Older is better.
hey yeppers, you're a good lookin "kid" with a low hairline, get your self a cute girl (if you haven't already) that doesn't care about how much hair is on your head or how much $$ is in your wallet and you'll be alright. (Sorry to hijack thread)
Finding a woman like that, that you yourself are physically attracted to can a times be a challenge. In all honesty, a lot of us will sit and say, hair and money don't matter, why are women so superficial - but how many of us would date a woman that is say 50-100 lbs overweight? If a woman is not physically attracted to me because of my hairloss, I don't fault her on it, because there are some women that I am not physically attracted to either. I just move on to the next.
i think for most guys it depends on how late in the night it gets. or even how many drinks we've had.
It's hard to compare what men would do versus women. I think on average men tend to be a lot more looks oriented than women when it comes down to them actually getting together. I'm not saying that it doesn't help in the initial attraction stage, but it can be overcome.

God never gives you more than you can handle... although his timing could be better.
