Rawbbie:
being concerned about hairloss affecting your appearance, especially when you are young, is not shallow.
And yes, not all women are superficial - being rich isn't a sure fire way of meeting a nice woman - neither is being buff and big, though it sure makes it easier ... and lets be honest, I'm not saying that women are superficial but to attract women you have got to OFFER SOMETHING. Vice a versa, right?
You cant expect people to like start taking interest in you if you dont offer any attractive qualities.

If you are a nw5, then my sympathies. I would be as devastated as you probably are. But giving up doesn't improve the situation, it will only make it worse. REALISE THIS. You cannot look back anymore, it will only make things more difficult. Education and hard work will improve your life. So you are bald, so you aren't attractive as you once were - but that is GONE NOW. IT IS OVER. YOU CANNOT MAKE THAT COME BACK.
Make the best with what you still have, work hard and achieve what others who have the money, who have the opportunities and have the LUCK THAT YOU WERE NOT GRANTED, could not achieve.
You will be a better man then all of them - and they too will know it.
