Though you'd just be a tourist.
You would merely adopt the bald. I was born in it, molded by it.
No regrets. My hair was a nuisance, and it deserved to die and I hope it burns in hell.

Distinct lack of commitment
alopecia universalis
Sometimes I pine for the days of the shaved head.
Although this is the result.
And I mean SMOOTH. Like no hair has ever grown on those 2 spots.
So I understand being hairless…on my upper thighs.
A haircut at a fucking Great Clips is like $20 now! It’s ridiculous!
Will have to celebrate next year
Looked pretty good at the time
My legs are the same why. Hairy as heck but two big ol bald patches at the top of my thighs. Weird!
I've heard this can be caused by friction from underwear/pants. Socks can cause the same thing to happen on the ankles. It's called frictional alopecia.
I always just assumed my lycanthrope skipped my upper thighs
Which I can, I started losing my hair early but haven’t lost all that much if it, I just like this look way better.
I wish it would hurry up and work on me. I'm out here wearing skinny jeans every day and I still gotta shave these suckers on the regular.
Yeah, when I occasionally lament the lack of hair on top of my head I'm not actually lamenting the loss of *my* hair. My hair was awful. It was stiff and wavy in the worst way: reaching skyward before crashing back down into my scalp, creating a shape somewhere in between misshapen pompadour and Looney Tunes head injury bump.
When I'm jealous of a cool hairstyle, I'm actually pining for "good hair." Something I never actually had.
I have no idea if that's true or not.
That's been debunked as far as I know. Male pattern baldness is mostly about genetics.
Google has sold out, and there's lot of sales pitches masquerading as unbiased scientific articles.
Not sure where you heard that's been debunked, but no, it hasn't been. Male pattern baldness is mediated by testosterone levels and so you see faster and more complete baldness in men with higher circulating testosterone. You have to have the genes for it in the first place, but hormonal levels absolutely influence it.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9777765/ here's one paper talking about mechanisms, which links to many more.
that being said, by default I'm skeptical of the idea that women tend to prefer baldies at all, and that if they do it's because they can smell the testosterone or whatever
Yeah, I've got 2 big ol' bald patches on my upper thighs too. It's 100% right where my pockets are when the wallet is on one side and phone on the other.
As far as being a bald dude. I'm fine with it but I would prefer to have my hair for sure. My long thick greasy hair.
I was ignorant of the medicines that slow or stop it when I was younger and didn't know I was going bald for a while because I had long hair. I noticed more and more of it coming out when I washed it. I loved with some cousins at the time and they thought I was crazy because no one in the family is bald. About a year later I buzzed it off and you could very clearly see the small bald spot and my ever receding hairline.
I used regular clippers for years until last year when I bought a skullshaver. It works really well and as long as you maintain it once a week or so it doesn't take long. A waterproof is nice to have and use when taking a shower. It makes getting almost your entire head without worrying about missing something pretty easy. Only place I have to touch up is around the ears. I just hit them with a razor when I'm in front of a mirror.
Those shavers also get a closer cut than bare clippers.
I decided to shave my head after a haircut.
When I lived in Japan, I decided to grow my hair out. I had a dinky little pony tail and a wavy, too-thin-on-top type situation everywhere else. When I came back home my mom got all upset and insisted that she take me to her stylist. I had more hair than I’d ever had so I was curious to see what a fancy stylist could do with my hair.
She gave me the same haircut I’d had for 30 years so I decide I was done with hair now.
It's not exactly testosterone but dihydrotestosterone, a secondary product of testosterone, that is linked to male pattern baldness. So you can have lots of testosterone but little DHT due to genetics and your hair could be fine. Additionally, the sensitivity of the hair follicles to DHT can also be different from person to person. So most of it is genetics. In fact, the anti-hair loss drug Propecia, also called finasteride, is a DHT conversion blocker that prevents the testosterone from being used up, actually increasing levels of testosterone temporarily. So you can't really say for sure that bald people have on average higher testosterone levels because of all these moving parts.
Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
well yes that's obviously bullshit
but the molecular mechanism that leads to hair loss is mediated by testosterone, is all
