This will be the same as most of the other comments here, but whatever.

I had long hair in my early 20s, but by the end of that decade I was thinning considerably - family trait that I had worse than my father's generation.

I tried to keep some kind of hairstyle far longer than I should, and stressed about it. Then one day I decided to just shave it off. I bought a set of clippers, and cut down to 1-2mm all over my head. Best. Decision. Ever.

Now I don't care about bed hair, hat hair, shampoo, windy days, etc.

My wife likes to stroke my head and even though she said she never pictured herself with a bald man, she thinks it looks really good on me.

Would I prefer to have a full head of hair? Sure, but I really appreciate the extra freedom of not having to care about what is going on in my head, and I've only had to replace those clippers once or twice, saving me a fortune in haircuts!
