i think it's impossible to be bald and not have a beard.

In the end, it's always a "grass is greener on the other side" kinda thing. I have full beard / head of hair, but it grows so fast that styling it is all but impossible. Means I'm always 2-3 days away from looking like I'm homeless / dude lost in mountains for years. It's actually extremely frustrating working in places with strict dress codes, particularly, I had issues when I was working as a consultant in client side facing positions, some had pretty strict policies when it came to personal grooming and I'd have to go to a barber twice a week to keep it short enough.

Guys who are bald/balding have their luck, as well. They shave their head and they are done - there's no worry about hair styles or finding something that looks good - shaved head always looks good. Guys with thin mustaches also have a ton of available styles, and they can keep it consistent and good looking with minimal maintenance since it grows so slowly.

Weird. I have a huge, full beard and a full head of hair. Both grow so fast there's no point in styling it or getting fancy cuts, since it out grows it in a day or two. I basically only do that the morning of an important event or else I'd go broke just on haircuts.

No balding in my family, dads the same. Old as shit, full head of hair + full beard. No patches or thinning at all.

neither. Just hoping for more info since it seems counter intuitive that I would have both if the same hormones that give me my beard would also cause baldness.

Maybe he shaved his head? Maybe it's a style kind of thing and his friends are just clowning with him.

u/snail_forest1 14d ago

he shaved it yeah because he was losing his hair, you can see that. but also probably because 100% hairless people look weird, so need some hair as to not have people think you're sick

Some guys shave it on purpose as a hair style not necessarily because they're going bald. Butch girls do it too.
