I totaly agree with you. Many men may accept the natural process but many also feel it is great injustice! If a woman were to lose her hair it is seen as strange and people understand there pain, as its ‘not normal’. To many men losing hair can be a great problem…many will say its all phycological and that u must focus on something else…but ur looks are ur looks right? Im in my early 20′s and my hair line is receeding like there no 2moro, and on top of that i got aplecia! I gt a feeling with al the research they putting into hairloss they will find a cure soon cuz it would be a billion pound industry once they find the gene responsible for hair growth.
Men normally loose there hair because they have alot of tesdosterone in there system(hence the term more manly if ur bold),
Testosterone, a hormone that is present in high levels in males after puberty, is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT has an adverse affect on the hair follicles. Acting on a hormone receptor on the hair follicle it slows down hair production and produces weak, shorter hair, sometimes it stops hair growth from the follicle completely. This process gradually depletes your stock of hair and is normal hair loss.

What I know is I have no problem with bald or balding men, whatever their age. In fact, many men are much more handsome without hair as it allows their gorgeous eyes to sparkle. The style now is to shave your pate, so go for it and don’t worry about losing the hair earlier than you’d like.
BTW, comparing male baldness to a real disease won’t work; it’s rather insensitive toward those who have serious health issues. Also, I’ve seen the results of hair transplants and you don’t want to go there!
