Okay, so I'm bald and rocking a Willie Shakespeare look, long on the sides but bald on top. I do keep it clean and neat. Is this "wrong", in the sense that there is no way that women ever like the bald & long hair look? Or, does it actually work for some people sometimes? I have shaved it off before, but I don't like the way it feels (though it looks fine). I feel better with hair, but only looks right to me when I grow it out. But I also don't know if I'm deluding myself and that long hair baldy just looks dorky. One other problem - the bald look is awfully popular right now, and I hate looking like everybody else.
Seriously, bald guys are hot. Just shave that shit off. Since you asked, there are no women out there who will be attracted to the Will Shakespeare/Ben Franklin look. You need to rock a shorn skull.
What's left of your hair still grows. Try different things and see what feedback you get. If it doesn't work, you can cut it back or let it grow out. I'd advise against getting a toupee. The good ones are extraordinarily expensive, and even then you're rarely fooling anyone. And the bad ones look worse then any alternative.
Been shaving my head for a couple of years. My scalp itches if I don't so I just shave it and keep lotion on it. It's not so bad. Haven't gotten any negative comments. Does take some time to maintain it but it can be kind of a hobby.
Shave your head! LoL I'm picturing your Hulk Hogan hair! Trust me no chick likes what you are rockin' now. I have a full head of hair and I shave it every few days. It does take some time but it's way worth it. And no I don't do it to be like everyone else. I've been shaving it since I was like 15 years old.
The key thing, provided you are not unkempt, is never to be apologetic about the way you look. Toupees and comb-overs are implicit apologies. This is as true for women and their boobs as it is for men and their hair.
No cure will be forthcoming, for the simple reason that baldness isn't a disease, though there are some instances where disease contributes to it. At any rate, scientists continue to study the human genome, but the odds of a nice, single gene expression being the cause of male pattern baldness are probably slim to none. If so, then a simple one-gene fix is probably out of the question, and one must always be mindful of the law of unintended consequences when messing around with the genome. Much as we'd like to think so, our bodies are not single-purpose machines dedicated to our brains, much less our hair. They are more like cities that contain a multitude of organisms performing various functions, most of which our conscious minds are only dimly aware of. I'm remind of a study the Russians did on foxes where they attempted to alter aggression by lowering testosterone production and got a whole cascade of physical and behavioral changes as a result, much to their astonishment.

Amazing, we can put a man on the moon, give women larger breast, but can't seem to find a way cure baldness. For the person that comes up with a solution, instant billionaire.
Shaving it all off is fine if your face suits it. I don't have a particularly 'masculine' face, so I don't think it suits me. I just keep my remaining hair very short (number one cut) rather than the full-on skinhead. That look suits Jason Statham, whereas I just feel like a berk. I don't lose any sleep over going bald but I've always thought it very unfair that some guys lose their hair while others don't. It should either happen to all men or none. Nature is a cruel mistress.
I have honestly never heard of girls attracted to bald guys with the sides grown out. That just looks downright creepy and I don't see why they would be unless they have some fetish for fucking Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Like others have said, shave that shit off. Not all women have the highest opinion about guys with shaved heads but I bet 99.9% of them would much prefer to date a guy who shaves his head than some Ben Franklin-looking weirdo.Yep, I'm sure new effective treatments will come but there probably won't be any definite cure for male pattern baldness anytime soon. And forget about messing around with the human genome. Even the simple treatments like Propecia are quite risky and not worth the trouble.
