You're never going to improve your life because you are a crybaby with a defeatist mentality and you reek of insecurity. That's 100% the truth.
This is a forum for men wanting to improve themselves in any way that they can. You should head over to a MGTOW forum and do your poor me routine with other like minded "men".

Fred, I'm bald and started to in my early 20's. I understand how you feel. At first I felt the same way, but over time I realized the hair didn't matter. Especially since I was still dating the same quality of women.
The way to fix hair loss is let go of your attachment to it. You are both the prisoner and the jailer.
If we want a woman to realize we are special, unique.
Hair is not unique, everyones has some.
Muscles are not unique, most have them too.
Same goes for clothes, cars, etc.
Women are in love with the masculine. A man who lives his life with purpose, who is strong emotionally/financially like a rock, can sacrifice, is not self-indulgent, can take action in the world and protect, is independent, and shows no fear in the face of the feminine.
Being the best man you can "naturally" be, spiritually, physically, and financially will show your worth as a man and women will be attracted to it. That's your cure.
Finally, don't divide us as into those who have hair and those who don't. We are all men.

Depends on how bad it is. Sometimes there is nothing that can be done.
In another thread I wrote about how my brother had fairly aggressive hair loss from the age of 20. There is no cure currently.
His hair loss was too aggressive to replace the entirety of what he lost. What he ended up doing was get [As you said] FUE to frame the face. Obviously the top & back are still thin/visibly bald but it makes a difference.
That probably should have been one of my other factors on top of all the 'overcompensation' points.

Nah, the double standard is all in your head, at least on this forum. I haven't read anywhere, on this forum, that people are telling someone it is ok to be fat.
Your insecurity doesn't mean anything to us. It's your life but don't bring that nonsense on this forum.
This is a forum for men, not whiners.
I have shaved my head for years. The quality of girls actually went up when I stared shaving. I have never had a girl say anything bad about my head nor have I had guys openly taunt my beautiful cranium. It's all because you don't know how to rock it.
It's because you are not bald. They know you can just grow your hair back if you want.
The viciousness of people commenting is that they know or hope that you are screwed for life. They want to feel superior to you by shoving it in your face.
That kind of response shows how people who do not have this problem are oblivious of what a nightmare it is for the individual. The "it's all in your head" is especially rude. Hair loss is a silent epidemic that society doesn't allow you to talk about, you're not even allowed to talk about it on forum for men.
You didn't understand what I was saying. When a fat guy asks advice, you will tell me to get up from his ass and start losing weight, but when a guy ask about solutions for his baldness (like in this topic), you will say to him: work out, become rich, buy new clothes, but rarely "gain some more hair by having a hair transplant!"
I'm not whining, just stating the reality of the situation for young bald men. It's not just me, I see everyday around me and in stories friends tell me. How their co-workers get mocked and abused for having no hair. How women chose them over some bald dude in the club and how women admit to them that it's one of the most important physical traits in a man.

I am bald. I wouldn't be shaving my head if I wasn't. You are so insecure you have to make up stories.
Fred, you're certainly allowed to talk about it. You're still here aren't you? It's just you probably won't find anyone on this forum who will agree that's something to be in dispair about.
You are creating your own nightmare. People here are trying to show you another reality exists. One that can be yours.

I had a group of of people mocking me and singing "HE HAS NO HAIIIR, HE HAS NO HAIIIIIR!" once at a bar. Everyone was starring at me and it was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, I was so ashamed. You think I'm making this up right? It sounds unreal. No, this truly happened to me. Anyway, the nightmare is almost over for me since I will soon have my hair again.
It's just that I think people should be aware of the reality that some hair loss sufferers have to go through and that people who do not suffer from, or that have somehow convinced themselves that it is not an issue and that women love it (male hamster at work here in my opinion) should not look down on this problem.

That is the difference between you and me. I wouldn't have been upset. Hell, I probably would have joined them and sang along. Maybe even charge them some money to touch my handsome head.
The fact is you don't (nor I) have hair. What they are saying is the truth.
I remember when I was in India and one the the people who sells stuff on the beach made a joke about my head looking like a coconut. We all laughed. After that, I went into my rental and banged my hot Russian girl for many hours.
I don't recommend hair transplants because I'm not interested in them. I don't want to take drugs in order to keep hair. I rather shave my head and get on with life. The hair transplant won't solve your problems, man.
The nightmare may be just beginning if your life doesn't change after your new head of hair. 
A long time ago I was chatting up a girl at a party and she mentioned my thinning hair, and I responded by feinging shock, touching my head all over, and saying, "Are you sure? Wait, you're right! When did this happen?!" She burst out laughing and I banged her later that night.
Don't take people so seriously, and most especially yourself.

The question is: what would they have sung if I had my hair?
No one ever made any comment about my physical appearance when I had my hair.
Why then when I had some hair again thanks to my treatments some years ago, there wasn't any mockeries anymore?
Good for you if you have found a solution that works. I preferred to have a hair transplant and use Rogaine, and then move get on with life too.
You don't understand, my life doesn't have to change, because it's already pretty good.
I'd just like to avoid these situations when I'm mocked in public, or some women rejecting me off the bat because I have no hair.
A woman I approached said to me bluntly: "No I could never date you, bald men are not my thing". Or once I got: "I have to be able to run my hand through my boyfriend's hair, admit that it's nice when you do it to your girlfriend!"
Denying that being bald means instant disqualification for some women is just being delusional.

Who gives a shit what they sang? The moment you take it as a joke and can laugh at yourself, the moment the slagging stops. When I started losing mine I buzzed it straight away - I thought 'I'm going to look like this eventually, so may as well get used to it now'. I'll often preempt people and make a joke about it myself.
I lifted when I had a full head of hair, I still lift now. Not to 'overcompensate' but because I love the endorphin high I get from exercise, and feeling fit. Look at Kelly Slater, he's completely bald and is not a 'roid head'. Doubt he has any problems slaying chicks.
It's hair mate. It's not as if you've suddenly become a mutant or lost a leg.
How much is a hair transplant, $15K? Money better spent on a 6 month round-the-world trip in my opinion.
I wouldn't waste money or time worrying about something that's out of your control like hair loss. Focus on the stuff you can control.
Play the cards your dealt.
The thing, they did not do it simply to have a laugh, they wanted to humiliate me in front of the whole bar. They would never have dared to do that to a fat person. Because it's acceptable to take baldness as a joke, but not obesity, which is manageable.
Yeah I guess finding ways to please women is off-topic on this forum right?
I paid 6000$ for my hair transplant. I thought a lot about it, for two years. Nothing could make me happier in life. Not lifting, not drowning in pussy, not even becoming a millionaire. It's not only for the opposite sex, it's also to feel good about what you see in the mirror. You can't deny confidence often stems from looking good and most of all thinking you look good.
I'm sure all bald guys would take their hair back in a heartbeat if there was an easy cure. This is silly to believe that hair loss cannot be controlled, we might not have a full-blown cure (hence the title of this topic), but it can be managed through medication, surgery and even make-up.
Kelly Slater is celebrity for god's sake, he would get women even if he had half his face burned off. Speaking of celebrities, just imagine George Clooney looking like this:
He would just lose his status of sex-symbol immediately, and his career would most likely be over. Well, maybe he could play in Expendables 4 though.

Fair enough - bald guys get a rawer deal than fat people, 'which is manageable' - ie baldness is our of your control. Not saying I agree with this, but that's the way it is. It's 'mean' to call someone fat according to society. But not bald - accept this.
Sure, I'd take my hair back in a heartbeat. I'd take a longer dick and whiter teeth in a heartbeat too.
Medication, surgery - the control of it lies with the tablets, doctor etc. It sounds like you took hair loss pretty bad and are hung up on it. If you think the hair transplant was worth it, then good for you. You invested in yourself, which is never a waste of money.
Re: Kelly Slater, celebrity or not, would you say he's a bad looking dude?
I reckon he 'lifts'.

I think he's great looking, but I think I am too, and this is not the problem here. The problem is accepting that you'll forever be considered "less than" somehow and that it will be a deal breaker for a lot of young women. How many times have I read on OKcupid and POF profiles: "No bald men" It's the same double-standard here, I could never write something like "No fat girls".
Well when you start losing your hair very aggressively at the age of 17, of course you will take it very hard. One of the best hair transplant surgeons in the world told me he was one of the worst case of baldness he had ever seen at such a young age. People at university used to ask me if I was sick or if I had cancer. And they were serious.
It's not just that I'm bald, it's that I started balding at an age when I was still in my teenage year, in highschool. I'm not some dude who started balding in his mid-30's. I'd have accomplished a lot of things in my life by that age. I virtually had to start my life as a bald man. It was my defining characteristic, as a teenager, people would stop me on the street to comment about my great hair, so it was even harder for me.
The thing is, you've never had a longer dick. And whither teeth can really be obtained in heartbeat. But you've experienced life with a full head of hair before, it's something that you've had. As Roosh once wrote about tall men: "Maybe we take our height for granted" Judging by the harsh responses here, a lot of men take their hair for granted too, and they have no idea of the value it has.
I wonder if maybe guys with full heads of hair don't want baldness to be cured and don't will tell them these poor advices (just get buffed and tanned) so they can remain superior to balding guys and have less competition.

I started balding slowly in my early twenties (I'm 37 now), but the first time I shaved my head was already in my late teens - a clean shaven head or extremely short buzz cut were simply very popular haircuts in my corner of the world (Denmark) in the mid 90s.
Since then - ie. the last almost two decades - I can't recall ever having hair longer than 6-8 millimeters, and the vast majority of the time it's been between shaven (the blade of an electrical trimmer) and 4 mm.
My hair is now so sparse at the top that I prefer it shorter than 2 mm, but length adjustment in downwards direction aside, I've never felt that balding was a disadvantage worth worrying even a little bit over.
I always keep some facial stubble or occasionally a short goatee as well. Goes best with both the almost shaven head and my general fit look and relaxed style (usually jeans and a tight v-neck t-shirt).

Can you tell me more about the hair transplantation? Is meds a must?
What if I still have a decent amount of hair but I want it to be trully full? (like this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DjxFbG2odM0/UnwYM7GsChI/AAAAAAAAGCA/tnFG_n5faCo/s400/new2.jpg)

If you expect that head of hair with from a hair transplant, then it's probably not for you.
When you go the hair transplantation path, you must have realistic expectations, and that means not expecting a full head of hair.
Medication is not a must, but I would at least recommend minoxidil.
