Is Hair More Important Than Ever In 2017?

[shookwun]

Balding will turn you into a social recluse.

I have been a hardcore extrovert my entire life.

always invited to parties, and generally people knew me that I didn't even know.

Once your self-esteem goes, everything else goes with it.


I have no desire to go out for small activities anymore.



It's the baldnes, and low self-esteem that ruins a lot of peoples social lives tov varying degrees

I am only ever extroverted when I take MDMA. Completely changes me as a person.

I think people often mistake introversion for being socially inept, probably because they often come hand in hand.

I'll always be introverted but I have improved a lot socially since I left school.

@tellersquill

Average looking bald guys can do alright, meaning guys that are average looking after they have balded.

For a lot of people who were below average, average or even above average they will drop to way below average if they bald young.

For other's it's not the case. My cousin, 6'4, bodybuilder, good looking, and completely shaved since 18, he has a 9/10 wife (no joke) and has never had problems with women.

This doesn't help my situation though. And not a single guy my age I know who is NW3 or worse has a girlfriend, or isn't an incel.

Are you average looking?

Are you average looking?

Yes, although if I go to NW3 I will drop to way below average.

Important to remember that being a social recluse != being an introvert.

You kind of have to be either good looking or funny to be a successful extrovert.

How old are you?

I'm around a nw3 but I have good density and I can almost look like a full head.

I shaved my own hair completely off to see how I would do with women. It was harder but I still had a couple of lays while I was bald.

It was important to me to do it. I used to think that if I was bald then no woman would ever sleep with me - and in thinking this I told myself to suicide once I was bald. But then I thought, why not see if it was true? Turns out my fears were false.

None of this escapes the fact that there are tons of bald men with decent looking partners.

Out of the 4 bald people I know - 3 of them have decent partners.

To have this failure attitude when these guys are so young is so sad. I know a lot of you aren't acutally bald - but to the bald amongst you - you guys can still get women. It may be a little harder, and yes it would be nice if it wasn't, but it doesn't mean it is game over.

I am completely bald and "a little harder" is an extreme understatement. It might as well be game over.

Also I think a lot of people here only adopted a negative attitude when they were faced with how differently people treated them after they lost their hair.

I myself am an extreme introvert, and was when I had hair too. However, I was fine interacting with people and had quite a few friends. I even got good reactions from women. When all my hair fell out suddenly, I thought nothing of it initially and thought: "This is nothing. It's just a new style that I'll adopt".

I acted exactly the same around my friends - friendly, easygoing, etc. However, they acted very standoffish and this never went away. Eventually they started ignoring me and doing things without me even though I was acting EXACTLY the same as I did with hair. Furthermore, while I initially found it easy to meet people when I had hair, no one wanted anything to do with me after I lost it all, despite me being the same person on the inside. Even my family didn't really feel like talking to me.

It's only when I accepted the truth that hair loss had caused people to suddenly change their view of me that I transformed from a somewhat easygoing, positive person, into a social recluse. I'm working out and trying to put muscle on my tiny frame, I'm trying to dress better, but to no avail.

Sorry to hear this.

It would make sense if they were 21 but I cant imagine adults doing that

I am 28 now but I was 21 when it all happened. They were all about the same age as me (some were a little older though at 22-23).

I've seen an image of that guy thrown around a lot but I'm not too familiar with who he is as I don't follow soccer.

Who are you trying to convince? Us or yourself? Because this is a hairloss forum and you are on here for hours everyday, hardly the behavior of someone who thinks going bald doesn't matter.

Sorry for going off topic mate, but I have to say it. f*** them. What kind of friends they are?

They were not your friends to begin with. I understand why it might be harder to make connections with new people, but your friends turning back on you? What if you got cancer, they would abandon you? You are better off without them.

So basically, a receeded hairline/balding makes me a cuckold, and I'm genetically inferior. Even though it's a hard pill to swallow, coming into acceptance with this will definitely make life easier. Thank you.

Lol. I rarely read or post on this forum anymore but had to for this...i'm currently travelling in Europe and I can constantly see countless guys who are bald or receded with girlfriends..many of them nice. You have to remember that you have come to thw most negative place on the internet (about hair) to ask this question. If you are not getting laid being a decent looking tall guy then it is not simply your hair holding you back...improve other things..your social skills, attitude, yes...your 'game'...how you flirt with girls etc. Just last night I 'beat' a full head Israeli guy who was far better looking than me and got the girl he was trying to compete with me for. He was trying to impress her with his travel stories but the fact that I was more calm and had a masculine 'frame' won her over. Meeting her later again.

You need to get out more if you don't see balding guys with girls. Either that or maybe your negativity is changing reality a bit.

Not saying a hair transplant wont help you but it will also be not an instant fix necessarily (regardless of what some unhappy guys who spend all day on this forum will tell you). It could possibly help you get more attention from girls if done well but you still need to be able to do the rest of the work. Also..be aware that hair transplants still can be very limited...the good results are in those who are good candidates with excellent donor density, hair quality and usually limited balding too.

Good luck anyway

Balding does matter to me, but I hate when people make out that they cant get laid because of their hair. So I end up debating with them on here.

Balding matters to me because I take pride in my appearance and I want to look good. Even though I can still get laid without hair it doesn't mean that I want to be bald.

Jesus, logic and reason on the impact section.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I hope in the future I can meet people who are a bit more accepting, that would be a plus.

But you spend hours on this forum everyday, why would you do that unless you were obsessed with baldness? If it's only a minor thing that has no real effect on your life then why are you here all day?

And the second question is this,you know some people have their looks completely ruined by baldness like Prince William, so why are you acting as if baldness suits everyone and doesn't ruin lives?

The problem I feel like though is how much baldness affects people is a case by case thing. People who can look average bald , sure maybe it isn't the end of the world. But what if you have a weird head shape? what if you are not tall? ect,

someone who is 6/10 with hair dropping to 2/10 because of weird head shape and pale skin? that sounds pretty bad to me

I'm 23. While I'm average facially I haven't got any masculine features besides my just-about-dense-enough beard, I've a huge head and round features. I've always had a massive forehead, tiny ears, pale skin, baby face. Forget cancer patient, I will look like some dna project gone wrong if I ever have to shave completely. My closest friend admitted to me that I look terrible bald. The only girl who I told about my balding said "I'm glad you're treating it". Since minoxidil has started working it's magic, and I've actually started getting good haircuts instead of 4 euro buzz cuts, I've noticed a huge improvement in my appearance.

I will save up for a transplant if it comes to that though.

That's good for you though. I bet there are many guys on here who believe that their baldness makes them uglier than it really does.

 

[GornMyson]

I respect some of you more masculine guys resilience but some of us have more in common facially with a Bieber/ Macaulay culkin... So hearing from you Bill Goldberg looking muthaphuckas that a Freddie ljungberg looking dude or a suave french bearded hipster abstract artist can still get chicks doesn't change much for us.
