This is one of the most copied and pasted pieces of advice on the internet. Just shave it, grow a beard, and become muscular! Not everyone looks good without hair, some people have faces that look young instead of manly, can't grow a full beard, etc. Plenty of reasons men still hate losing hair.

It’s because it’s true! You can let going bald ruin your life but there is so much more to life than a full head of hair! You know what I wish would be different? My back which has been totally destroyed since I was 16 with messed up discs. Losing hair would be a lot preferable! But at the same time, I’m very happy I’m not like my cousin with her debilitating disease that will kill her before 30 that has left her family shattered since she was 8 years old!

Perspective, perspective, perspective.

>> Not everyone looks good without hair

Not everyone with hair looks good. The ugliest person ever was probably one with hair on top.

>> some people have faces that look young instead of manly

Some women absolutely love a boyish look. Some men too.

>> Plenty of reasons men still hate losing hair.

Men with hair hate their lives just as much.
