Bald of course. What's the big deal about being bald?
Am bald, quality of life is great and the girlfriend is still caring and hot. This question is dumb.
So much time and money saved, as well as head space not needing to be concerned about hair and styling.
Had hair, didn’t fuck. No longer have hair, do fuck.
Fucking is definitely better than having hair. No contest.
Bald guys can get a lot of action. You have to go full bald though.
At what threshold do you go full bald at? I’ve been struggling with this for years as my hair thins out. I’ve got the balding dome on my crown in the back, which of course I never see unless I look with 2 mirrors.
Anyways this is a query I just constantly ask people to get their opinion. What say you, internet stranger?
If you have a big balding spot that's visible, I say either get a hair transplant or embrace it (it will probably progress until you may want to eventually shave it all off). You can go either way. But you will need to go on drugs as well if you want to keep the effect of the hair transplant (unless you get repeated transplants). Hope this helped
Thanks for your input. I’m going to accept my level baldness regardless most likely. I just don’t know if/when I wanna go full shaved head bald. I tried it for about a year and the look just didn’t seem to fit for me.
Also it's possible drugs can fix it without a transplant
One more option: hair fibres, but this is a temporary solution and your balding will still progress most likely
Sadly I don't have a good answer. I'm almost at the point of having a bald spot on the back of my head, but I think I'm hiding it well enough for now. I guess the sad reality is the 2 mirror angle is not something you yourself normally see but other people around you do.
Hey it’s kinda out of sight/out of mind for me lol
I'm slowly losing my hair now, but I would NOT trade my dick to get it back!
You may consider a transplant then, and if no drugs, then you may need to get another one later down the track as well, possibly repeatedly.
Would you cut off and eat your own dick for 150 billion dollars? (This would make you the 4th richest person in the world)
Bald up top, and a big fuck-off uncontrollable 70s afro down below.
Neatly trimmed to look exactly like an elephant shaped chia pet. Orgasms ruined because the beauty and awe THIS burning bush elicits, but I don't care because it's been classified as one of the natural wonders of the world
Basically 100% of men would rather be bald. I would guess that for women the percent would be somewhat lower, but still a large majority, but that's just a guess, I'd be interested to hear what women think
Ohhhh good one. I am asking a woman friend that right now
Finasteride is a devil’s bargain.
I mean, for some it's not...
I'm not getting laid anyways, and already have to wear a hat all the time. Give me my hair back.
You may consider a transplant or medications such as finasteride.
Relatively speaking, as an asexual, I can afford to lose a few orgasms.
Very good point. Are you also aromantic, if that's okay to ask? That is, some people are asexual but still enjoy engaging in romance just without the sexual stuff. Forgive me if I said this wrong
I don't mind romance as long as it's not too imposing. I actually don't mind physical expression either, I just don't get anything out of it.
This better not be a PFS thread. Be a man and get dutasteride, worked for Kutcher
What's PFS? Google search showed multiple possibilities and I can't see how any are related to this
Agreed on dut tho (semi, finasteride might be fine enough with lower risk of side effects)
Comparison is the thief of joy, eh ?
Both are alive.
Bald can be explained as "too much testosterone my hair was scared of my masculinity". But you need to mop up sweat constantly.
Losing sexual function can be tough but also freeing of binds that create lots of social disarray.
That's true from what I've read. Baldness actually can result from too much testosterone, and often bald men are very "hung" also. And the same with men with very curly hair - the curliness is a sign of high levels of testosterone (I've read). I've also noticed it to be true in real life (as a gay male) - curlier hair usually also meant better hung for some reason.
Some straight edgers eschew sexual urges anyway.
Please don't say neither (that's not an option)
Both?
Edit:
Ok, in all semi-seriousness, I like my hair and like to keep it. Sex is still fun without an orgasm.
I’m more of a giver than a taker anyway :)
Based!
Neither

Define "properly."
Bald. Being bald looks cool, no shame in it whatsoever.
Some can pull it off, some can't. Tbh
Well - first of all, what does a "proper"orgasm mean? I think everyone orgasms kind of differently anyway (or uniquely). But I'd definitely rather have good hair and not orgasm by someone else's definition of properly. Probably nobody's going to judge the way you orgasm, but people definitely judge you by how good your hair looks (don't pretend they don't). I know, I was born with bad hair - thin, lots of cow licks, basically crazy hair.
Bald is OK if you can pull if off. I've rarely seen any guy who looks good bald, to be honest. Maybe Yule Brynner. But most men look dorky when they shave off their hair. And some of us would love to have that hair, could you send it to us so we can glue it on our scalps with Elmer's?
There's the possibility of erectile dysfunction in exchange for keeping hair, too... i just didn't want to overcomplicate the question lol
Our society is very shallow, what matters most (more than potency or virility or being a good person) is how you look on the outside. If a person cannot conform to a GQ standard of awesome beauty, then in my opinion they are not worthy of having life at all. It's outward appearance that has the most importance in life, nothing else at all. Nothing else actually matters in the slightest.
