As well as embracing the bald, embrace what bald gives you. Do you know how long it takes me to get ready in the morning? Minutes. Do you know how many times I look in a mirror? The answer is often "none", because nothing much can really change! This is so liberating in so many ways. I'm up, I'm out. I'm free. Wearing a motorbike helmet without worrying about messing up hair? Check! Travelling extremely light on holiday because I don't need any product, shampoo, etc.? Check! Coming out of the ocean and in to the bar without worrying about what my head looks like? Check! I'm another "shaved at 27 and wouldn't want it back". I love being bald. Just make sure you keep it a good bald - don't let it grow in to half an inch long fuzz if you know that doesn't look good. Don't be lazy. Me, I shave with a battery powered electric about once a week. Takes me ten minutes. Another tip: I find collared shirts suit bald men better. Depends on the shape of your head, but for me a t-shirt makes me feel a bit like one round glob of human torso, whereas a nice collared shirt gives the whole upper part of my body a bit of character. Or a t-shirt with a blazer. Or find a hat that works - I love the flat-cap style. YMMV. But be conscious of it, it'll help. It is what it is. Make it yours. And yes, Meetup is gold. Remember: everyone else there is in the same boat. Nobody else knows anybody either. Everyone is aching for someone to dive in and start the conversation. If that person is you, you're already miles ahead. Have fun with it!
