I don’t think this comment is anymore helpful than the “just get over it” comments. And I don’t imagine it’s anything like a gender crisis. I imagine that’s much worse. Closer to a women with really small breasts imo.
So, “just get over it” and “join my pity party” aren’t helpful. As a 27 year old man who is completely bald (horseshoe bald). I’ll share with you what has helped me.
I keep myself fit. I hate gyms and I can’t afford the commute time so I bought some adjustable dumbbells that I store in my closet. I’ve found about 20-30 minutes a day 3 days a week is enough. I do a combination of “old man burst training” (focusing on getting my heart rate up and running out of breath), weight training and yoga work best for me. I’m barrel chested so I focus on broadening my shoulders and back for symmetry. This was a “just do it” kind of thing after I got tired of making excuses. It’s not something I dread anymore. I’m the type of person who needs a kick in the ass. Acknowledging that and working to kick my own ass has been my greatest gift to myself.
I’ve worked hard on my posture. I’ve always slouched. Mentally, this has required the most effort.
Go to the dentist! (White teeth are the goal don’t get crazy and end up with that creepy blue look).
If you’re white, get some sun!
Learn to appreciate clothes and style. This was the hardest to learn for me. I’m naturally conservative but I’ve found a way to be conservative (comfortable) and stylish. You don’t have to be rich, I’ve found some great stuff on the cheap at Ross and the like. Being in shape also makes everything fit better. If you can afford it find a good tailor.
It takes work but if you tick all the boxes above you’ll find your romantic life will improve and possibly your career too. I was never a great athlete but our office park has a basketball court and I do just fine. I’ve made some good business contacts on the court too. And you don’t need to be bald to take any of this advice.
Female baldness on the other hand… I don’t know what to say other than my heart goes out to you.
