I used to gel my hair until I got sick of it. Then I started shaving it short 'cause it was easier, you know? I recently started growing my hair back out to gel it again... and yeah. Looks like my hairline is further back that it was a year ago and I see more of my scalp when I gel my hair. Like, a lot more.

I knew this was a possibility 'cause I heard my grandpa was bald. But I was hoping it wouldn't start until I was in my 30's or something at least haha. :shot:

If I was "meatier" I'd consider shaving it all off to see how it looks. But I'm more on the thin side... so people would think I'm sick or something. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Pfff, that's what people with hair say hahaha.

I've said it... Now that I'm losing mine, it sure seems like a big deal haha.

Personally, I don't care about the bald thing too much. But it seems like chicks do... and yeah. Could complicate things haha.

This only eat a lot moar. First mass, then cut.

I know. I lose weight fast as hell though. I count calories 'cause I try to get in at least 2,500 a day... 2 months ago, I had 1,400 for three straight days because I was too busy to eat and I lost 7 pounds. Then it took me like 2 weeks to put that back on.

Don't worry, I've been going grey since I was 18. About a month ago my friend and I were at the bar and she just stops and says "you've got, like, gray streaks on the side of you're head. When did that happen?" "About a decade ago...you've been sitting next to me at a bar at least once a week for the last year and a half and you're just noticing this?" I think she's one of those that magically becomes more observant while shitfaced. :shrug:

Sounds like my uncle. He started dying his hair in his early 30's 'cause he had so much grey hair. It made a huge difference too. After he dyed it, he looked like he was in his 20's. When it started getting pretty grey again, he looked like he was in his mid 40's. It was crazy haha

Yeah, I'm not vain enough to dye my hair. Not sure if Ommy was going for your future or mine, but mine will more closely resemble this:

LOL. It happens man. I started losing it in college. Shaved my head with a razor for one rugby season and come spring, the sumbitch was so thin on top I couldn't believe it. Now I shave 2-3 times a week. It's an intimidating look for sure. I enjoy it but I do miss my hair.

Shit.. cutting it that many times a week must be annoying haha. I'm actually pretty worried with how the shape of my head is gonna look hahaha

You know those electric razors that we use for our face? They also work for the head. Takes about 5-7 minutes. No water, no cream, nothing. Just a little moisturizer when it's all said and done. I shave my face and head at the same time.

So, for all you sub 40 guys here is the deal on eyes.

You might think you wont need glasses to read but you will. Right in the 42 range all of the sudden your eyesight will start going.

Now if you get Lazik then your eyesight will get crazy. I am near sighted and got lazik 13 years ago. After surgery, I could see individual leaves on trees 100 yards away. But immedately, I could no longer read a business card without reading glasses.

Hopefully, you will be in an industry where age/hair color doesnt matter. If you are running your own business you can get away with anything. If you are in some casual business then fine. But if you are in the corporate world, it's all about disguising your age. Lose weight, color your hair, stay clean shaving, keep your hair short. You dont want to be labelled old
