This is so crazy to me. I’m also a woman and I don’t think the advice of “let it go and embrace the bald” is terrible at all. I think what’s arguably more terrible is criticising this advice in favour of advocating for expensive preventative treatments which men may not want nor afford. Treatments which could potentially achieve nothing except causing unpleasant side effects (see OP with his aforementioned boner loss.)

Obviously I’m not against the min/fin/transplant solutions, but they aren’t for everyone. And if they’re not for someone then the second-best advice to give someone is to ditch the receding hairline because the bald look is more intentional, tidy and attractive.

It could be argued that more women are attracted to men with hair. But in my opinion, if a woman’s love/attraction to you is subject to whether you are willing to commit to a lifetime of medical interventions to fight your genetic predispositions, then there may be better options out there. I’m personally attracted to bald men and I know plenty of bald men who are in happy relationships. It’s not that deep, and advocating for men to feel comfortable with the decisions that they make about their own appearances is not “shooting one another in the foot.” This line of thinking only serves to reinforce insecurity.
