(heartless snicker because I’m 2.5 times your age with more hair than I know what to do with)
Matt, bud, you mean you’re only now noticing it? It’s pretty obvious in your photos.
Another baldy checking in…
Go for the chrome dome mate. I know my SO digs it, and so do I. She was a little shocked at first though. 
It’s also great if you like people rubbing your head.
Dropzone: You Bastard.
Matt: You’ll be convinced one way or the other when you get the courage to face a mirror and hold one behind yer head at the same time. Take a good look. Get used to it, it’s part of you!
Yes. The shiny part.
Here’s a little photoshop projection for you matt
Matt’s new look
Considering the source, that shouldn’t surprise anyone.
It’s been a while since Ive been in college Delta-9 & that was the answer I got, but let’s see YOU give a better answer.
hey matt, why don’t you just shave it off, shucks, that’s supposed to be sexy.
Matt, I sympathize with you. I was 14 when my hair stylist started telling me my hair was thinning. Fortunately for me, it’s gone slowly – I’m more than twice that age now and nowhere near as shiny as a chrome hubcap. Still, I do know what it’s like to look in the mirror and wonder if I’ve already lost enough hair to knit a sweater.
Anyway, if you do decide to go the medical route (Rogaine or Propecia), be sure to do your homework and consult a reliable physician. Although these do work for many, they don’t work for all and can cause serious side effects. Too much hassle? Maybe, but you’ve got to do it anyway to get a scrip for Propecia. Wouldn’t hurt to do it before sinking $$$$ into Rogaine for life. . .
If you decide these aren’t for you, you don’t have many alternatives right now. There are transplants, but they are expensive, and some people (like me) never did have a thick, lush-enough head of hair to take what’s left and spread it around. Wigs and toupees are a possibility, but I have yet to see a man’s hairpiece that looked anywhere near natural. Women seem to be better off here – even the most obviously African-American or Asian-American woman can get a platinum blonde wig that looks like her own extremely-bleached hair. (BTW, Fairy Chat Mom, let’s see you lose your hair and not have a bad reaction to it. If that doesn’t work, have a mastectomy and you’ll finally have a clue as to how traumatic going bald can be to a young man! And, yes, I have female relatives who’ve had that surgery, so I know exactly what I speak of [Moderators, sorry if that really belonged in the Pit, but. . .].)
Finally, Matt, you can take the route I have – Have fun with it while you’ve got it. Don’t go in for a silly comb-over, but grow it long and put it in a ponytail. Bleach it. Dye it whatever color – Archie red, bright blue, vampire black – that you choose. With luck, there’ll be time enough to have boring, old-fashioned, staid haircuts. And, if you don’t have that luck, think of how striking you’ll look. . . .
Although I’m not bald I am going to offer you one piece of advice. Do not attempt about sort of comb over. A bald guy who keeps his hair fairly short still looks presentable. In fact about the only time I hear anybody make fun of a bald person it is because of a bad wig or a bad comb over.

I have to respectfully disagree…
No, wait, what I meant was…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
IMO.
You see the problem with a solution like this is that, like a combover, you’re not fooling anyone. Ironically, the people you think you might fool are probably the ones who already noticed some time ago that you were thinning a bit, but didn’t bring it up. It’s like the anecdotal story of the old lady who goes for catarract surgery, and comes back to find that her house is furnished in the most hideous garish colours. She asks here daughter what happened, who replies "We thought your taste had changed with advancing years’. Reply "Why didn’t you tell me???’
Actually, he can look better than “presentable.” Andy, may I use you as an example? Matt, look at the Chidope pics. We have me, with a full head of luxurious hair that has scarcely even begun to gray despite my advanced age, then we have Andy, without enough hair to fill a shotglass. Who’s cuter?
I rest my case.
