This is a tricky one. Everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side, but it isn't. Just have to play the hand you're dealt and make the most of the situation.

I read recently that balding men on average earn more than those with full heads of hair.

I guess this is as they are thought to be wise/nerds/smart rather than young/inexperienced.

Unless you want to be a model, I doubt that your hair is holding your career back - the negative attitude might be though. It seems like this cure needs to be in the head, not on it.

What if... Well, I still have a full head of hair (after my frontline was restored with a hair transplant). I'm definitely a whole lot happier since my frontline was restored. More confident, less worried, better self esteem and so on.

I still worry about further hair loss though. If I wouldn't suffer from hair loss, it would save me some time every day (not having to apply minoxidil and take pills and not staring in the mirror at my hair so much ) and I would be less afraid of "growing old" (and bald). That's how it affects my life: hair loss fear! It's like I would do almost anything to keep my hair.

I try to not think about it too much though. I just hope the meds keep working.

Exactly... the vast majority of middle managers and senior level guys and proffesionals ive seen in my field are not only bald to some degree, but usually also have one or most of the following,
i) are fat
ii) wear glasses
iii) have terrible dress sense
So i dont see how looks can hold you back in a career unless your a model or singer.

This website lets face it is composed of a minority of bald/balding people. Many people suffer some form of balding lets say in their 20s and many dont get any balder ofr 15-20 years , alternatively some get it in their late 30s and they still have the same hair 15 years later.
Up until 250 years ago a lot of civilisation married and mated in their early or mid teens and were dead by 50 in the majority of cases.

Every day i see loads and loads of bald men (and i dont mean shaved heads) with very beautiful girls....I admit i see it far far more in cultures like the indians,chinese and arabians than westerners. I do think its an american hollywood propogated message that good looking people only should mate with other good looking people

Looks come and go.ive seen many a 18-20 year old of poorer socio economic circumstances, knocked up and has 3 kids by 25 and looks fat out of shape and aged by 28-30

We all have a prime and for some of us its shorter than others.

Hello

I think it is normal to "dream" about how different factors would change your life. More hair, taller, slimmer, richer , better looking, etc.... The point here is to control what you can and accept what you can't. Hair loss was very disasterous for my self image as well. So, I started using concealer, taking propecia and formulating a game plan to address it. 7 years later I have beat it . Life will knock you down and you need to take a proactive approach to solve your challenges.

Sometimes, we cannot do anything other than accept situations in our life and move on. There are many people out there who can barely walk , so it is essential you keep things in perspecitive as well.

If this becomes a "problem" there is nothing wrong with talking to someone about it but more importantly, take action to address the challenge if possible.
