Its all in how you handle it.
I had a full head of hair right up till I started thinning around age 34.
I realized I would have to deal with it someday soon and started looking around to see how other men handled it.
(No, I was not gonna smear some costly gunk on my head every day)
One day I saw a guy in line at the coffee shop who was clearly balding... he had not shaved it, no comb-over, no longish round the rim .... rather he had simply clipped the hair as short as a beard trimmer would go... quarter inch or less...
It struck me that this was the most elegant solution.
So a few years later when the thinning became apparent, I just started clipping it close.
No more barber bills, only take a few minutes once per week with an electric beard trimmer.
Since then, if anything, I get more attention from women.
Once more, fellas... no matter what women may say about your appearance, the truth is what fills them with desire is self confidence in a man.
If you have the confidence to be unconcerned with going bald, and your solution clearly shows a lack of significant vanity... women will find that attractive.
If you seem self conscious over your thinning hair, primp and fuss, try to hide the fact thru creative combing... that all comes across as insecure, and/or vain.
I know men who bald badly, and women run from them screaming.
And men who seem to take it in stride and not give a shit, and women cling to them like vines.
