> Balding is the most depressing thing.

Being a young man who's balding might seem depressing, but I can certainly think of something far more depressing. Propecia's labeling was recently updated to say that erectile dysfunction may be permanent, even if you stop taking the drug.

Just shave it off. Bald heads have actually been shown to be a positive status indicator, probably because it takes serious confidence to pre-emptively shave off all your hair. Besides, I've always thought bald heads look way better than a head with patches of hair on it.

Some people look ridiculous with shaved heads. They literally look like aliens/eggs.

To pull off the shaved head successfully you need to have a strong jaw and squarish face. Not all faces are created equal.

Marc Andreesen for example has a suboptimal head structure for baldness, however I'd venture to say straggles of the remaining hair would look worse. Shaved head > BLding head IMO

Sure. I agree that shaving is better than the desperate attempt to cling to the last remaining follicles look.

However, shaving your head does not necessarily mean you're going to look "good", aka Jason Statham mode. A lot of people just look like eggs or aliens when they shave their heads.

Oh yeah for sure. Very few people have the correct proportions and bone structure for a bald head.
