Me personally, I don't care as much about losing hair as I do gaining weight.
There are shaved/bald guys that look waay better than me, who probably don't have any trouble getting laid.
Oh yes so much this.
OP you're 22, at your age i was obese. I decided to take care of me at around 25, did a long diet, went back a kind of "above average weight" then went to gym. I was built like a minecraft character lmao
i went there 12h a week because i met awesome people there.
I'm also losing hair, now even more than in my 20's, and while i dont really like it, weight (and less importantly, body shape / muscle) is the real bane by nowadays standards.
Now i'm middle aged and divorced, my tummy is flabbyn my arm are thinner, and that's the dealbreaker, not the summit of my head and its hairless space (even a marriage picture was taken in an angle where we could only see that and i was kissing my now ex wife...lol the trauma)
You have all the time of the world to circumvent this. I know it's hard, because to you it seems like such an handicap, and while it's true, you can easily get by this!
All the best to you!
