A Question I Have About Suicide ~ Extra Words

[Baldingat188]

idk I am not a huge fan of tatoos I almost think they are a turn off to me. But once I am nw6+ I will probally get some tatoos and grow a really long beard if I can. anything to avoid that sterotypical "loser" look , id rather look like a madman.

Yeah this is something I only realized recently: I really hate 90% of tattoos. I never paid attention to them before.

My biggest issue is that if you really look at them, 9/10 tattoos are of mediocre artistic quality when compared to the original art. Let's face it, getting a really well-coloured, accurate drawing onto human skin is a delicate art and just about every tattoo artist I've ever met is the grown up version of that kid we all went to middle/highschool who is super edgy and really into art class but not actually that great at it.

most look like crap.

looks like someone took a crayola and drew all over them.

Even worse are those blank ink tattoos. Literally looks like someone scribbled a design on with a ball point pen


Needs to blend with your skin, and not look like somebody followed a template and drew all over. A lot of variables involved..



I believe most tattoos are the result of bad decision making at an early age. Feeling trendy, and belonging to a certain niche of style, which most grow out of by mid twenties.

Once you are NW6.. options are limited.

Could always opt for the bald, jacked, and bearded up look. Throw on a half sleve tattoo, and attend glory hole parties, and pick up single moms looking to get a T-bag emptied inside of them at the local den.

yea , I know they are limited. I am just saying I would do anything to avoid that stereotypical loser look. Idk how getting jacked would work out for me... I have a pretty slim body type and I am 5'6. I do work out casually and it makes me feel a little bit better about myself but I dont think I will ever get into the full body building aspect, rather ill just try to keep myself healthy.

I probably will go for the beard look once I can grow a good one. I wear some facial hair atm but it looks shitty because it doesnt come in fully . Also I have light hair so its less noticable

Haha I'm not sure if that's a joke but I do believe in trying to make the best of all situations.

Its that or suicide.

I'm not considering killing myself at the present moment.. Nor do I expect I will consider it any time soon.

I've been thinking a lot lately though.. I'm getting older (28) and I'm realizing more and more the fleeting of life. It really does go by quickly. The movie Space Jam turned 20 years old today for example and it just blew my mind that it has been that long. In my best Yoda voice.. Puts things into perspective, things like that do.

I've been thinking a lot about what it will be like to be older.. I'm talking getting into your 70's and 80's etc. Life can be a motherfucker, even at a young age and I can only imagine what it's going to be like to be an old man.

If I don't die in some sudden way, or by some disease/disorder before I get old.. I honestly believe that I will kill myself when I reach an age of helplessness. The day I know that I can no longer take care of myself, I'm going to put a gun to my head and pull the trigger. Seems like a great alternative to dwindling away in some nursing home that smells of feet while waiting on the people that are supposed to come visit you that never do.

This is kind of a random post.. I only post it because I'm curious if anybody else on here thinks along these lines. I don't normally think this far ahead, but seeing helpless old people depresses me. I couldn't live like that.

I think your attitude about being old will completely change when you reach that age. It isn't like all of a sudden your like "Holy f*** I am so goddamn old." It happens so gradually. You will start to have little problems, and more little problems, and then big problems, then more big problems. It will happen gradually over years, but eventually everyone (that makes it that far) will be one of those old people that can no longer take care of themselves. I don't think I would ever have the strength to kill myself, nor would I want to, but I guess I will see how I feel when I am unable to care for myself anymore (if I make it to that age).
Aging scares the living sh*t out of me though. When I was younger (like 6 or 7) it was something I never thought about. I am only 23 now, but just seeing my parents age is pretty scary. They are getting in their upper 50s and you can even see at that age, your body starts to deteriorate. They no longer can lift heavy weights, or run very fast; they get tired a lot more easily; they get hurt more easily; and their physical attributes change dramatically. Once you reach your 50s you start to age physically much much faster as well. Makes you realize how short and precious life really is. Makes me want to really live life while I am young, because I am going to be old before I know it, but more importantly appreciate the sh*t out of my parents because life is too damn short and they won't be around forever.

That's what a lot of balding men say: "I'll just take steroids, lift like crazy, tan and get tattoos!"

No you won't, we all know it's BS.

I went for the loser look before my hair transplant: skinny, pale and a buzzed horseshoe.

I decided that the solution was getting some hair back, not permanently mutilating my body and taking harmful substances.



Hair transplant, temporary SMP (always combined with a FUE), beard grafts, drugs, rugs.

The solution should always be: getting more hair. Not trying to "improve" every other area hoping that it will make your problem go away.

In the end, you'll still be bald.

I think SMP looks bad and fake. Do you still think there will be a cure in a few years?

 

[cocohot]

Not when combined with a FUE, 99% of people who undergo a SMP procedure make the mistake of not also having a hair transplant to get that much needed 3D effect.

Milena Lardi does stellar temporary SMP procedures, you'd never guess that it's actually a tattoo.

Scroll down and look at the result on the left, that's what I'd have in mind for me.

The problem is that SMP forums are a lot like slybaldguys, they swear by their head tattoos and everything else is BS: "Nah hair transplant doctors are always butchers, finasteride shrinks your penis, minoxidil is bad, etc." To them only SMP as a stand-alone is the holy grail.

I'm not getting a temporary SMP on top of my FUE because I can get by with my transplant only, even though sometimes I think about it. But then I remember, less is more, no need to fix something that's not broken.

I don't believe their pictures. I think they may have been photoshop and even toppik used there, just like any other before and after photos.

 

[Baldingat188]

lol I never said I would get ripped. btw , I totally agree with you Fred the best solution is having hair and I will do everything in my power to keep it im just saying once the inevitable happens I am thinking of some forms of coping otherwise I will be suicidal.

never said I would get tan either , my health isnt worth sacrificing. but what I will do is do what I can to avoid the stereotypical loser look. Im not saying I will look good like that , but I will just try whatever I can do like growing a long beard and getting tattoos. may look very dumb though lmao. worth a try though...

What both groups have in common is that no matter how good their life may be at this point, it will not get better from there on out. A lot of people try to take solace in the idea that their kids will keep them company when they're old and in a nursing home shitting themselves; it never works out like that.

That's exactly what I don't want to happen. The last thing I'd ever want to be is a burden to my kids or anyone else. I've seen parents get sick or old, and their kids are exhausted caring for them. There would be no solace at all in having my kids visit me out of a feeling of obligation.

 

[blackg]

I abhor tattoos on women.

Hahah.. Why does that not surprise me. Those damn women should know their place, I guess?
How, dare they display some attitude and independent thought!!

It takes a certain mind set, and a mixture of low self-esteem, worth and insecurities to give people enough drive to take copious amounts of drugs, and lift weights. You need to be a bit messed up in your head to take drugs just to look good walking down the street or going to the mall in T a shirt when it's -20 outside.


The only solution is hair. Rugs are a last resort, and it's not something I ever want to endure, and experience again. If only you all could feel, and see what I went through... some perspective might change your whole idea behind 'just get a wig bro, it's confidence that attracts women'. I mean the constant agony, worrying and maintenance was hard to deal with. non-stop buillshit I went through. The hair piece oxidizing from the sun, left me constantly wearing a hat every where because these self-proclaimed UV sprays are all snake oil and don't protect anything. I became much more private, and was always timing everything. Living in a house where you share certain amenities, left we on edge most the time. Everything revolved around the safety of the hair piece, I could never relax and feel comfortable around others. Racing thoughts when up close with people, worrying about the bond, and edge always lifting.





Hair transplants are the only solution, and they are worth getting into minor financial set back over.

It's just disgusting and shows poor decision making skills.

And your judgment means very little to me and obviously to the women you are judging. It's a big wide world out there, Freddo. Full of all types of characters.
Try to embrace this world and not to be so easily offended/frightened. Open your mind, son.
It's very rewarding!

Guess I don't want men to "display some attitude and independent thought" right?

Correct. You prefer people to stay in their box and not show any independence or character, lest it offend your sensibilities.
I guess it offends you to see other behaving so carefree.
Sad.

It's a pity we both have to breath the same air.

[blackg]

I agree.

 

[blackg]

Tattoos don't show independence of character, not anymore.

The people I know who get tattoo definitely have lower IQ's and poor jugement.

The guy I know who has the most tattoos is also currently being scammed in a pyramid scheme.

No surprises.

That's true, not anymore.
That's why I'm so surprised to see men on this forum, who are in their 20's so upset by tattoos.

Your mindset, and that of Captain Four Heads, is definitely from an era long gone.
Though, an ultra conservative mindset transcends generations in a lot of ways.

I guess y'all can't help it. It's just your make up.

P.S. You always seem to "know someone" who you conveniently use to flesh out your points.
It's a very transparent reach.

While I do disagree with Fred's statement about how IQ and poor judgement are common traits of people who get tattoos, I do not think it's fair that you say Captain Forehead's statement is "ultra conservative".

He simply said he doesn't find tattoos on women (or men) attractive. With all due respect, equating personal preferences for optional bodily adornments or lack thereof with some sort of conservative bigotry is a pretty absurd comparison.

It's like saying that my dislike of pajama pants as some sort of fashion statement that plenty of women make these days must stem from some conservative mindset.

From my experience this is true. When I lived in Toronto I was in a lot of different scenes, and had social groups from the punk/edge, EDM, to rich, and poor kids. I had a pretty big network of friends, something I dearly miss.


I dont like to be overly judgmental because I have met some extremely smart people with tats, but on a majority, and large scale it's usually people with low IQ, poor judgment and amongst those who work menial labour jobs.

Most my friends that went to university, and came from households with high income do not have any tats.

Most my poor friends have tats.


Again, I am not saying all people with tats are in this bracket, but on a majority there is a coorelation.

One buddy comes to mind, he used to always get into fights, tatted from head to toe. Belonged to the punk/edge type groups attended at the University of Toronto and has a Phd. He is definitely not the norm, but this guy could write, and compose himself well. All though when you meet him in person he seemed like his worth was from his street cred. He never wrote academically over the internet like some people do over here. He wrote in 'meme, slang and connotations' but I seen his writing online, and I was amazed at the essays he wrote on certain topics.
