Are things different in the UK and the US?

@UM Maybe she was trying to start a conversation with you because she liked you; I've often found slightly inappropriate questions to be great ice-breakers during flirting.

Christ, your a freak aren't you.

Hard to say, idiots and fuckwits seem par for the course on the HairLossTalk.com forum these days.

Meh, maybe it's just me, my posts seem to attract them like moths to a candle.

She wasn't trying to be flirty. She was in her sixties btw. She just lacked the tact to not openly and casually discuss someone's physical flaws with them. Uncalled for and inappropriate is what I say. That's like her reading out a fat woman's weight out loud off her driver's license while she is in line at the supermarket and then scrutinizing over her groceries saying something like "maybe you should put that ice cream back." Oh but that will never happen because that is considered harassment while bald people get made fun of all the time. Something made her feel like it was ok to bring it up...whatever that something is is suffocating me.

You might have misunderstood my reply, I used flirting to illustrate my example. Not everyone who likes you is automatically trying to flirt with you.

Honestly UM, you seem to respond to pretty much every post, person, life event with massive negativity.

Sure, I get kinda angry too, you can see for yourself just how often I get attacked or insulted here (at times even by you), and this is in a forum where I'm trying to help people.

You *must* get over this attitude of yours and refuse to allow pricks and idiots to rule your life; the unfortunate part is you already know this but you don't seem to want to change it.

Not to mention that you look frickin' cool as a bald guy. Most people here would kill to be able to pull off the look like you can.

People can be rude or insensitive about it without even realizing it. I went to get a bottle of two buck chuck (wine) and the lady at the checkout asked for my I.D.. When she looked at the picture (which is my avatar btw) she asked me if I wear the beanie because it's cold or.....Basically implying if I wear it to cover up my hairloss. I asked her "What's with the interagation lady? I'm obviously old enough to buy alcohol." Her excuse was boredom and trying to make conversation. I played along and when I left she called me a "good sport" but I thought her question was rude and insensitive. I mean what did she want me to say "Yeah, I fuckin hate being bald. I hate the way people treat me because of it and I'm embarrassed and ashamed so I cover it up when I go out in public. Got a f****ing problem with that? Mind your own f****ing business b**ch!"

The reason so many bald guys are wearing a hat is simply cause that is the only option if you want to avoid all the harassment you would else get from time to time.But in the long run its best to go around whitout it, learn to withstand the abuse and tell people to f*** off or else..Easier said than done? OF COURSE!
Btw, my bald brother (which is 23) got someone fired when he made fun of him cause he was bald. My brother 1 - 0 the abusers. Ive become so f*****g tired of this lately that if someone made fun of me today due to my NW5 they would regret that for the rest of their lives. Im not gonna tolerate being stamped at anymore. Thats the feeling you feel when youve been a victim for this kind of abuse for the last couple of years. I could swear on my mothers grave that you recieve atleast 2 times more abuse when youre NW5 and 21 compared to NW5 and 35. People are gonna make fun of you more often since youre so young and have lost almost all your hair at a very young age. Its impossible to avoid the harassments. But you can always change how to react to them (No one should rectify someone though who doesnt understand how it feels themselves to recieve abuse in that extent) but again easier said than done when you are a target for harassments.

Your hairloss is more aggressive than mine, but only by about three years. I hit the NW5 mark at twenty four but I can appreciate the difference (however small) between our experiences. The kind of stress and psychological fatigue we have in common cannot be understood until it is experienced first hand, which is why I am grateful for your contributions lately. Sure, misery loves company but before I found this site I had so many intense thoughts and emotions that I kept bottled up. Whenever I tried explaining it to anyone like a close friend or family member, they could only sympathize to a point but they never "got it" like my few bretheren on this site do...of which you are now included Frankie.

Uff that sux so bad to be that young that bald... no one deserves it :/
i feel sh*t for my nw3... when i think of you guys i really cant complain ...
i just hope something will come in the next following year.
(so i wont have to log into those sites anymore... really does consume too much energy and time all that baldness business..what a f*****g disease)
