Ignore it isn't on the list of options...and neither is 'fail to notice'. I would be one of those.
Male pattern baldness.

But actually the only thing happening to my body right now hair wise is stuff that you wouldn't want to hear about. My dad is sort of balding, so I know what's coming, but it's not that bad.. and so far so good for me.
I suppose that virtually anyone looks *a bit* better with reasonably thick/existent hair than he (ie the exact same person otherwise) would without, but obviously
a) it is no substitute for 'ugly' look if one has perfect hair
b) some look better than others with less than perfect hair
And as for using 'a wig'..... that surely would connote non-epidermic (
) psychological issues and not an actual hair issue by itself. A wig is just a dead animal. No one in their right mind would carry that around in their head. A horrible idea.

How about an Andy Warhol wig?
If you're going to have a wig, I think it should be an obvious one, rather than one which pretends it isn't one.
I wouldn't have said a wig is a dead animal, though. It's just a kind of hat, imo.

Or notice how the reflection off my forehead in the image above could blind an opponent.

I'm with Lefty but the other way of doing it
I don't have too much hair left for being in my late-mid 20s. I used to buzz my head but that became too popular.

Who says that's what men worry about more than anything else? I don't worry about it at all. Maybe in a few decades, but now that's the least of my concerns. The fact that I need to get a haircut ranks much higher.
I'll probably just do what my dad has done and not worry much about it. It doesn't seem to run in the family that it's the no-hair-at-all-on-top-of-the-head-but-some-on-the-sides pattern, so it doesn't result in looking like you're 70 when you're 55. It's not quite like kmad's grandpa, but my friends tend to think my dad is about a decade younger than he actually is, even though he hasn't done anything whatsoever to combat natural aging beyond a bit of exercise and the aforementioned hat-while-out-in-the-sun-for-a-long-time, so I think overall the genetics are fairly decent in this regard.
On the other hand, if I do go bald in 5 years I'll probably just look into what facial hair pattern would look complement it well, and call that a day. It's not like it's impossible to look halfway decent if you do go bald early.

I've been balding since I was in high school. Now I keep my hair short like Zinedine Zidane or Jason Statham.
Think of the positives! You can save a lot of money by cutting your own hair. You don't need to comb anything. Chicks love it.
Deal with it and don't waste any time worrying about it.

I used to cut my hair very short since my early 20s with a shaving machine to the point i dint even noticed i was becoming bald till few years ago (i am in my middle 30s now) when my upper forehead started to look shinny under the sun. However i suspect it sarted much before.
pros: Much more comfy, economical in time and money, you look like a tougher guy (sort of)
cons: You must use a hat to go to the beach otherwise your brains will get toasted, some chicks dont like it (however others do, so not very sure about this point)

It seems that in ancient Greece having long hair was regarded as a sign of male beauty as well. There are many passages (eg by Herodotos) on Spartan soldiers combing their hair before battle, and also a very specific 'best-looking' Spartan who died moments prior to the battle of Plataea, and he was said to have been only sad that he could not give his life in the actual battle.
In my view having longish (eg shoulder-length) typically thick (ie not out of the ordinary) hair is looking good by itself. Of course it won't make you "beautiful" regardless of what the rest of you looks like, but i think it is a bonus.
Anyway i cannot actually grow my hair that long, cause they are less than perfectly thick. But i am sure they look better than back when i used to keep them very short.
And i agree that the hair issue is childish, cause at worst after their teens most of the people tend to become less jerkish and not openly care about trivial stuff.
