Male Baldness Info

I am a 33 yr old handsome guy (or so I’ve been told) but in the last few months, my receding hairline has gotten extremely high and I have now started thinning. I would compare my male pattern baldness to that of James Woods. All my life I have always styled my hair ‘up’ spiky or pompadour style but now I can’t anymore, it just looks BAD! And when I comb it down or have bangs I look like a geek and you can tell I am trying to hide my hairline. I have shaved my head many times in the past, both totally bald (scary, as I am really pale and have a huge dent in my head) and also just buzzed (a #1 with the clippers). I honestly like having my hair buzzed. I grow a goatee and have a little bad boy image going on plus I don’t have to deal with fussing with my hair. I know I shouldn’t care what other people think but every time I buzz my head people tell me I look terrible and looked so much better with hair. I just don’t have the right head for baldness. If i shave my head I look bad. Help!
