New here
I'm new here , don't know what to expect but I thought I'd give it a try , "suffered" for 10 years , the eyebrows disappeared around 1995,and had patches from childhood. I am 50 and happily married with 2 kids, generally go through life not thinking about this , only time I'm aware when I return to my hometown in Scotland ( I live in England) as everyone remembers me with hair as I went to live in England with a full head of hair . I am totally "accepted" although I fell very self -concious in crowds and close proximity to others. After being in teh same job for 25 years I had to make the big step yo get other jobs which i have done with success, so I have to say I feel reasonably confident , maybe being a man is different , it's only the lack of eyebrows make me feel different , I look forward to hearing from others

Bald men are far more accepted in society yet it wasn't too long ago that the totally shaved head became accepted. So many men go bald to varying degrees naturally and so people are used to it...a bald woman still stands out in the crowd unfortunately and that's why most women wear wigs to cover up. It's still very traumatic for a man to have alopecia though...alopecia and naturally occurring baldness is not the same thing for a man to deal with. It's great that it hasn't held you back in any way.
