If I had the money I'd pay whatever to keep my hair. I now have a perfect round bald spot on the top towards the back and I'm starting to thin towards the front. I've shaved my head before I was going bald years ago and it doesn't suit me at all and even my mrs agrees so to me it's really shit.
Not happy about it at all but not got any choice as I can't afford a transplant.

Yeah it's weird to me too. Though I only have a ever growing patch in the top of my noggin. Just doesnt bother me at all.
People pay a few grand to fix their teeth (braces) or eyes (lasik). Balding, especially for those who have it bad, is on a whole nother level. 5K seems like a no-brainer assuming there aren't crazy side effects.
This line of reasoning, lol. What kind of cool shit would you suddenly be able to do with hair? Whoaaa, style it?
Realize that it's just fucking hair. Being bald doesn't restrict you from anything aside from looking a certain way and honestly, that only really matters to people in their teens/twenties.
Having jacked up teeth is way, way worse than having thin hair / no hair, IMO.
Been bald for years now
Its not an issue. Seems weird to me people try so hard to avoid it. As if there's something wrong with looking the way I do.

$5000 seems cheap. Even as a slob with no interest in dating I'd still pay that much and more to have Perfect Hair Forever.
I don't believe in fighting the inevitable, but I get why men try. Women (and I assume gay men?) overwhelmingly prefer hair on a guy, and bald only works to a man's benefit if he has the build and style to compliment it.
I'm telling you right now If I lost my hair tomorrow I wouldn't give a shit not one.
How long has it been? For me it's been about 7 years and I'm at the point now where my current bald look is my mental image of me.
More than I'd care to admit. I'm not bald but the prospect honestly fills me with dread.
I have a pretty tenuous sense of self-worth as it is. Being inflicted with the Constanza would fucking crush me.

Since it has been 20 years now I have been bald, it is just all I know.
I would actually pay money to never have to shave my head again at this point and just be forever bald.

LOL @ the people like "who cares?" I personally dont care because I look fabulous bald but some people got some funny shaped heads and are much better off with hair.
Fair point, but...
Tbh it's really not been an issue for me with women, and I'm far from being in super good shape or anything. (5'9" 170lbs)
People often tell me I look like young David Cross.
It's how you wear it not what it is
Exactly. This isn't about baldness being universally inferior as a look, any more than lasik or contacts is a commentary on glasses. It's about people wanting the right to choose. You don't need vision problems to wear glasses, just like you don't need to lose your hair to enjoy baldness. But acting as if those who don't have a choice - or who would choose something other than the hand nature dealt them - are being shallow and ridiculous just shows a lack of empathy.
Just go in Turkey and get dat hair transplant for around 2K. Have your beauty back in about 6-8 months after. Problem Solved. In US it costs over 5 times that price unfortunately and I don't even understand why. Most dudes I know are doing it there and are very satisfied.

To be honest, a lot of bald people didn't have nice or thick hair to begin with and look better/younger with a shaved head.
Zero, I love not having to spend time on my hair every day. I just keep it short all around and move on with my life.
I mean, I've been shaving my head for almost 20 years now and I'm fine with that.
I'd probably be willing to pay less than 500 bucks to have hairstyle options again, but it's not super crucial for me.
