I need some help. I am a 23 yr old guy and my hair is starting to thin. my dad is bald, most males in my family all are, so i feel that it's inevidable. i'm at that state where i can't have hair of any length or the thinness is noticable, so i end up shaving my head down to 1/4 inch (imagine pop bono at it shortest -other than when it was bic'ed). even then i still feel its noticable (i'm very paranoid about it) so i wear a hat all the time. i've gotton lots of help from professionals about dealing with this fact, and most advice is to accept it and be confident in yourself. let me just say, thats easier said than done.
i'm getting used to the feeling of being/going bald now (it's been happening over the last 2 yrs), but i still get quite depressed when i think of the big picture and think of my whole life i have in front of me and i will be bald for all of it. i won't have the luxury of being able to go through various different hairstyles over my life. i won't have hair on my wedding day, my kids will grow up realizing their father is bald (i have memories of drawing a picture of my family in grade 2 and my dad was hairless), when my teenage daughter beings home friends, she'll never get the comment "ohh, your dad's hot" (okay, maybe thats too 'american beauty' ) it just gets overwelming sometimes. for a lady, i'd imagine it would be similar to coming to terms with being over weight her whole life. but at least with that you have SOME control of.
anyways, i'm thinking of my future and trying to imagine what kind of bald guy i want to be. how i can best maintain my scalp and even fashion, that will give me a chance to still be somewhat 'hot' to woman. i'm not looking for personality advice like "girls like guys with confidence" i have heard all that. what i ask of you today is to post pictures of bald or balding men that you still think is hot, so that i can get an idea of what the average girl thinks. please don't post random pics to just make me feel better. i'd rather only hear the truth. i'm looking specifically for how the remaining hair is kept, perhaps how potential facial hair off-sets it, and even style/fashion that the guy carries/dresses himself with.
this request most likely sounds very weird, but i am a weird guy....
