as you got older, how did your looks change?

does it usually stay the same?
I know some of us suffer from balding and it causes confidence issues. How do you cope with things like that? Also the change in the structure of the face as you lose your boyish looks

I'm better looking, in better shape and FAR more confident than I was 5-10 years ago (I'm 27), so I don't know what you're talking about. As far as I'm concerned, losing your "boyish looks" is a good thing. Women don't find "boys" attractive anyway. :p

As for balding... both sides of my family have some baldness, with my father being the exception, and I have his hair which is really thick. He's approaching 60 and while he's thinning, he doesn't suffer any patterned baldness. That said, I shave my head 4-6mo out of the year and I'm told I look good bald anyway, so if I DO ever go bald... no big deal.

Now where's my fucking cookie? :p

I've lost a fair amount of hair starting at about 28 or so (I'm 33 now), but most of it was around my surgical scars. It doesn't bother me much, except that my scars are now much more visible. I started going gray around 28 as well, but not that much, only bits of my beard. That doesn't bother me in the slightest. :)

Hair started falling out. Really was quite a shock when it started happening around age 20 (but going pretty slow). Kind of sucks though since I had bad acne all growing up and I told myself that when I got older it would get better and I would have more success with the women. Well, as soon as the acne started clearing up the hair all started falling out, so I guess I will just be a virgin forever now :(.

No clue. I'm waiting for my 12-16 year old looks to pass though. It happens to be a turn off for the ladies.

I'll probably gain weight(Good), more muscular(Great), lose boyish looks(Fantastic), and seem older(Wonderful!). So, I don't know what the fuck you are bitchin' about.

I hope I don't lose my hair. :( That would really suck. I can't seriously see myself going bald and even looking remotely decent.

Well that won't stop it from happening. Funny thing is I have less hair than my 55 year old father which is why it was unexpected. Apparently it is from my maternal grandfather, but he died before I was born, so I never even met anyone in my family that had thinning hair.

I'm 26 now, 27 in January.

Still losing more hair (started in late high school).

Weight has been pretty much the same since I graduated high school.

I had a bit of acne in HS, that's gone.

That's about it I guess.

The usual losing hair and gaining weight. Well gaining weight wasnt quite right. When I left college I weighed the same but instead it is much more flabby. :(

From 20 to 23 I've lost 70 lbs but otherwise look the same. I didn't really set out to lose weight it just happened.

i haven't really changed at all from early 20s to now 27 years old.
I've had some minor adjustments in facial bone structure (certain features are more pronounced like brow, chin, cheekbones) but generally I look almost the same.

Alot of it has to do w/ the fact I weigh exactly the same and I'm in about identical athletic shape. Most people have more significant changes in features due to weight loss/gain or some type of cosmetic change like a hairstyle or facial hair.
