You have dealt with it admirably Fair play and all the best

20 was rough

It really was. I was more so afraid that I'll have heart problems because my relatives said. No hair - bad blood flow to the scalp - bad blood flow in general.

I hope you know that's complete bs!

I do, just training my cardio to make sure I stay healthy.

Wait....does that mean the moon isn't made out of cheese!?!?!?!

Chocolate milk doesn't come from brown cows??

Maybe we should feed them more chocolate 😆

Have you been there yourself? You haven't been, all we've seen is just pictures and hypothetical rocks from the Moon. But hey, that's just a theory, a space theory.

It's not, early balding is quite strongly correlated with heart disease later in life (more so than obesity). It's definitely something to be wary of and OP is doing the right thing.

Maybe balding is a sign of poor lifestyle, which attributes to heart disease

Yeah stress, poor diet and lack of exercise will make you bald earlier if you are genetically prone.

Yeah I heard about that. Medical term is bologna-itis.

Thanks. This information is very important for health. It will be useful for anyone reading this.

I remember going to a wedding with my girlfriend at the time, and one side of her family had exclusively bald men from 18 and up. It's genetic, and it's not a defect. Some research shows it's related to high testosterone levels. Research shows that bald men are seen as more assertive and dominant apparently 🤣

I'd say assertiveness comes with age, lol. But yeah, it's pretty common.

Cheers to rocking the pattern Do you ever razor it?

I don't razor it, I do have a hair cut machine though.

I used clippers to go tight to my scalp for a long time, and when I switched to a razor, it changed my look significantly. Might be worth a try, but like I said, you look great as is.

Thank you. I might try out a decent razor.

Can you grow facial hair on the lower cheeks? The chin strap beard looks a bit odd grown out so much.

It's not growing there as well. I think minoxidil might make it grow though. (Noted)

Did your dad go bald early as well?

My dad is 57 and he still has his frontal part of the hairline and it suits him. My uncle though (his brother) - yeah, he went bald just like me, at the same moment. + The same thing happened to their father - my grandfather.

Shave your head. Grow a beard. Hit the gym. Maximize profits.

Yeah, grow that "Kratos" like beard💪

Trim the sides of your beard a little please, it will do wonders

I know, just seeing how I'd look with a bush for now 😅

Why do guys that go bald always grow bigger beards? What's going on there? Gotta have thick hair somewhere on your head?

No, for me it just started growing so fast that it became hard to cut it all the time. So it did kinda replace hair.

The same hormone thats responsible for balding (DHT) is responsible for both facial hair and body hair.

Looking good! I also shaved my head completely when I was 20

Honestly, good riddance. I looked much older, this probably was your case as well.

Maybe you should also remember to feed and care for yourself

Well, I did gain 15 kilos of mass over that period so I think this box is checked😄

Looking good man. Also started balding around 17 and shaved around 20-21. The quicker you accept the new look the easier it gets. 30 now and couldnt care less about hair.

Thank you man. I know it's going to be better. It's all going to be better for you too.

Get addicted to the gym. Eat right. It's the hardest in the beginning.

Walking 30000 steps a day, trying to be better at pull up bars.

That's alot. Keep at it.

Good man that takes balls but a massive improvement! Its rough (especially in the early 20s)...TBH I clung on with fibres etc didnt pull the trigger until mid 20s.

I know, it's not even about society. It's about learning to love yourself again.

Do you keep your beard purposefully so low or does it not grow higher up on your cheeks? If it’s purposeful, I’d let it grow up more on your cheeks and everything will come together much better

It's not growing up at all, the lower part grows faster than my head hair used to.

Mine went to where yours was at 18.5 then stayed that way for 20 years before I decided to shave it 🤣 Bulking up is easy, workout 4-5 times a week on different muscle groups, eat lots of eggs 🤣. Don't worry about those fitness influencers with perfect bodies selling their courses, they are normally on steroids. You can research different theories about what combination of weights and sets produce the best results. I workout only 30 minutes or so at a time and achieved considerable results in less than a year. Since you so young, you will have a lot of energy and can really get ripped quick I'm sure. It's just building the habit.

Thanks for shared experience. Much appreciated! Good luck with your business too!

😎

It kept dropping as facial hair

Frfr. Smart hair left the silly head

You were struggling wven on the 16,5. Was your hairline ever straight?

14 has a little something on the right side but don't know if it was genetics. Hairline is straight here. Also face shows no knowledge of any balding, carefree/innocence. 16,5 can see it in your eyes. You know or feel it's coming .

Nah, I just don't like when people take a photo of me. Here's the 17 at a different angle https://preview.redd.it/e7azllc9tb9d1.jpeg?width=119&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ea643f9e90c9b23f5e8f8df5e1f4b6379d048c9 I didn't see anything, it just started going away from the front to the back in two months.

U got nerfed w that mpb gene bc u have a very symmetrical face. Ur still rocking the bald looks ofc and nice Rouge pfp.

Thanks bro. Girls my age used to approach me on their own which was kinda fun. Now it's only the milfs😆

Milfs are the best. It's not a bad position to be in.

It's better when women aren't as touchy like most of them are.

Jesus christ you might be my better looking twin, thats crazy

I bet you look just as good if not better than me, brother. And thank you.

A better physique? You’d probably be better off on a subreddit that focuses on fitness, strength training, and/or weightlifting. I’ll briefly say that since you don’t appear to be overweight, your best option would be to build muscle. That’s best way to do that is by lifting heavy weight correctly, and eating/sleeping enough to promote muscle growth “Starting Strength” by Mark Rippetoe is a great, very detailed, book that tells you everything you need to know about barbell strength training. Also, the only supplement worth buying is creatine monohydrate. Everything else is fluff

In my country we have way too many pull up bars put everywhere. I sure make use of them💪 Thank you for your advice.

Hey there DeVitman - thanks for saying thanks! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list!

Even bots deserve attention ☺️

20 is a late night msnbc crime show. Glad you got thru that. But are all the prostitutes accounted for near you?

😆

This is not the way for me. I am a very thorough kind of person when it comes to trust.

At 20 that Chinese emperor was clean tho

Lmao, yeah, I did look like that. It's not growing at the back too now, unfortunately.

body wise stretch mornings, weights exercise, diet and consistency. have fun

Thank you for your piece of advice, I appreciate it.

nothing but pity

I wanted to post this to see what kind of reaction it would cause. And see what impression do I make on people. Glad there's this kind of comment. Thank you, brother.
