    In my opinion, yes. I would recommend buzzing it though, NOT shaving it so clean people can see their reflection. My husband's hair started thinning really young (he says it started when we started dating :wink:) but I think REALLY close buzzcuts look great on guys.

    Buzz it! You'd look hotter than hot.

    My fiance has his buzzed and I love "playing DJ" on it. I put my hand lighty on his head, move it back and forth, and say "WIKI WIKI WIKI!" I like the feel of it. It's our little thing and I love it.

    shave it! you'll look much younger & sexier, my boyfriend has never looked better since he did (he had the same trepidation as you).
    If you don't like it, it will grow back to how it is now within a couple of months, you'll always wonder if not!
    do it! :)

    I would definitely buzz it first. You will look awesome. I love men with buzz cuts or shaved.

    Shave then let it grow back but not as long as it is now

    I dont find thinning/receding hair unattractive in the least. Quite the opposite really.

    However, if you are really concerned, I would suggest a buzz cut. Bald would be pretty drastic.

    I love how no one mentioned getting a rug. Thats one 70's fad that needed to die a horrible death. :laugh:

    I say buzz cut first, then you can try the bald look. My guy went buzzed for a couple months, now he shaves. He looks great either way. Just please don't do the "comb over" yuck!!!

    Had the same problem so I shaved it all off but I hated the way it felt. All the stubble constantly pulled on my baseball hats. I just buzz it now on #2.

    Dude...it's not even that bad!!! Leave it the way it is until it's totally noticeable. Then cut/shave.

    I think you're really cute and your hair is fine! That said, if you do decide to cut it...don't shave all the way down, just buzz it.

    You can always start with a buzz and shave it later if you decide you might like it better. It will always grow back if you decide you don't like it either way! You look like you have a nice looking head..meaning no lumps, bumps or knots...and shaved would probably look nice!

    Good luck with what you decide and post pictures if you do! :drinker:

    I say shave it or leave it, but whatever you choose, don't fret about it :) seriously, it's only a drawback when you guys are obsessing over it. sheesh. i think you would look good either way.

    I like bald men, but not where they are bald and hanging on to whats left - i mean completely clean and sexy bald. buzz cuts are also quite sexy
