I'm 19 and went to a dermatologist recently. He said that if I don't use Rogaine I will be obviously bald, at first glance, in 3 to 5 years (I'm balding in the front, not 'crown balding'). That stuff is a big hassle and a pain in the butt to use, but I can put up with it if I have to. But do girls (specifically those 17-25) really care about baldness at my age? Can I let myself go bald?

I have a friend who had lost 90 percent of his hair by the time he was 21. He's 28 now, and if you look at his face alone, he has no wrinkles and could pass for a 17-year-old. But without hair, he looks at least 40, so most women under 40 don't approach him because they don't like the idea of dating 'an older man.' If you had lost all your hair by now, I wouldn't advise you to get a toupee. That's extreme. But while you still have the opportunity to keep what you have, I say the pain in the butt that Rogaine will be is definitely worth it if you can delay your hair loss.

I've dated a guy who was for all intents and purposes bald (he'd shaved his head since sixth grade) and it never bothered me. You just have to find the women who look at you and not your hair

It can look sexy, but only with very short hair. I find long hair on the rest of a balding head a turn-off. However, I have always cared more about nice eyes or a sexy smile (not to mention a good personality) than the number of hair follicles on someone's head.

Honestly, it may have an effect on how women perceive you at first glance. I know that I have met several men who are in the same predicament as you and once I get to know them, it doesn't bother me at all. I can find myself still being attracted to men with receeding hairlines so don't worry yourself too much!

He actually had a car accident 7 years ago and cut his head pretty bad by going through a windshield. He still has some scars, but I prefer him to be bald because the hair is balding on top and longer on the sides. So, if you can find a women to aceppt you for you, shave it!!

There are many very sexy men who have no hair; that look is hip. Spending tons of money on rogaine is a waste because it gives false hope and delays the inevitable . Any woman who judges you on hair or the lack of is a waste of time and space.

I am a 25-year-old woman and think a mature man with a shaved head can be very sexy. A man who is witty and smart will always turn my head. So shave yours, and don't worry about it. That is much better looking than balding. Rogaine is kind of a turn-off to me. I've heard that Rogaine doesn't work for receding hairline, anyway, so shave it baby!

I think it can be quite distinguished looking. Whatever you do, don't try to disguise it with funny hair styles. I had a male friend who was balding by age 17, and instead of working with it, he would spike his hair like mad to make it look more plentiful. Ended up looking more obvious. Like the other responder, I think shaving your head is a good idea. That can be very sexy.

Sometimes men look sexier with less hair. Most men go bald, and that is a process of nature. If you feel you are too young, go ahead and use Rogaine, but don't worry whether girls will not find you attractive, because there are plenty of us who don't think it matters.

No. I agree that if you don't want to use Rogaine, you need to keep it extremely short. If your head isn't a funny shape, I would recommend shaving it bald. Now that's sexy! Whatever you do, in no way should you ever do that combover thing (it is never attractive). And toupees are a bad idea. Just let nature take its course and make sure that the rest of you is in great shape. Take the money you will save on hair products and invest it on your wardrobe. A bald head is made even sexier by a great body and a magnificient wardrobe. I think you can pull it off. At least you're not a prematurely balding female - now that's a problem.

Under no circumstances do the toupee or combover thing.

I'm outside the requested age group, but willing to weigh in. A few names to consider: Michael Jordan. Ving Rhames. Sean Connery. Andre Agassi. Confidence is hotter than the best head of hair. I would tell any man I was interested in not to go the Rogaine route on my account. Spend the money on clothes instead.

A lot of women think shaved bald heads are sexy, and most I know can't resist touching them. (They just want to feel what it's like... and it's good luck) Think of the actor 'Vin Deisel' (not sure if I spelled his name correctly.) Please don't ever get a toupee. That just cries 'I'm old' and nobody really likes the 'comb over' look.
