I think people tease because they do not know it hurts so much. I think they do it in a naïve way because they think you will just brush it off.

Of course when they go bald themselves that's when they realise.

I'd never mock anyone for being bald - but if I know they are an arsehole I will sit back with a quiet satisfaction and watch

My cousin used to give me a lot of sh*t for hairloss years ago, his Mum (my auntie) also used to make a lot of snidey comments, even in front of my ex girlfriend, about how aggressive it was. Now I'm doing well hair wise it's very satisfying that he has some quite bad thinning at the crown. Neither of them have made a comment for years too!

Not sure.
I know a guy who recently got divorced and found a new partner.
He is 40+ and posts pics with new girlfriend like daily.
He is a grey - haired fullhead.
I think the difference is the hair really...

Always going to be exceptions - but if there was stats on it it would be clear teens post the most if their good looking girls, then it weans off into the 20's and 30's and 40's cougar territory. Unless you're a milf who bleaches hair and hangs out at fabutan, but that's a whole other topic on mental issues

Make no mistake, they do know it hurts, that's the whole point.

Finally they have something to feel superior about, and you can't do sh*t about it this time.

My best friend used to make fun of me because he used to be more successful than me in certain areas.

In fact, I was every time a bit behind him: he got his master's degree first, then I got mine.

He got a job first, then I got mine. Same with our driver's license, anything really.

Every time I catch to him with something, you can see the subtle disappointment in his eyes, even though he congratulates me.

Even the people closest to you don't like when you're ahead of them.

But the only thing he can still use against me when he can't stand my success is my baldness.

All he has to say is: "You're bald!" or "Well, at least I'm not bald!"

And he wins, nothing else matters when he says that.

My point is, they're not naive, they know exactly what they're doing when they mock your baldness.

Absolutely Fred. I have a friend who almost cringes when I tell him I want to be a stock market millionaire, as opposed to buying a mediocre house at an outrageous price and paying a fat mortgage into retirement on it like him and almost everyone else.
I'm far from what I want to achieve and no guarantee I will make it there but reveals to you the nature of people - it's rare to find someone who is honestly on your side.

Then there's the snarky biotch working across from me, any mention of a housing correction and she'll cut you off in mid sentence and machine gun you with blather, most fall into this category of people, but are more subtle about it.

Jealousy is a horrible emotion and is what can lead to this attitude between friends. If you identify this kind of insult, you're actually winning. It shows that they are threatened by you in some way.

I used to be extremely quiet. Friends used to always tell me to talk more. I am, and was, moderately funny if I got going, I just rarely did. The rare occasion I did I always noticed that one of my friends (one in particular was worst) would point it out in a insulting way in order to embarrass me and get a laugh. After a while I figured that he didn't actually like seeing me do well socially despite being my good friend.


I think people mostly grow out of this sh*t though. Or at least if you're secure in who you are and how you're getting on you won't act like this.

I don't think people really grow out if it because of age and maturity - we will always be broken and fallen individuals so long as we are stuck in the flesh and blood - putting it philosophically.

Only a change in heart and mindset cures the disease.

I dont think people grow out of this...What happens is as you grow you bullshit meter goes up and you realize when its time to dump people from your life.

we are not meant to stay friends with people we went to HS with..a few perhaps,,but as you grow and develop have more life experiences staying friends with the old gang from HS is going to hold you back UNLESS your around really good people...and how many of us were really around great people in HS?

I would actually like to see what my dad looks like now with hair instead of deep into NW4. He was really good looking in his 20s/30s but the infinite forehead spares no man's facial aesthetics.

 

[EvilLocks]

Nice to get some stories from the frontline. I'm glad she admitted it, many won't because of pressure to be politically correct. My current partner said this to me: "some guys have no hair. That's really ugly, I'm not attracted to guys like that."

Yes, she admitted it to us, her female friends. But I doubt she admitted it to her ex-boyfriends.

 

[EvilLocks]

No, she most likely did not. But this is part of why you're a valuable voice here, EL: You have access to a part of society that is closed off to most of us. You get to hear what girls your age are saying when their tongues are loose and the microphones off. If she was asked on camera whether she liked guys with shaved heads, the same girl would likely smile and say: "of course!".

The same friend once cried in front of me for half an hour about a failed haircut. It wasn't even that bad, just a bit shorter than she wanted it. Sometimes I wonder why I'm even friends with her, but of course she has other great qualities and has been a supportive friend. Besides, I don't have a ton of friends anymore so if I were to ditch my friends over things like that I'd be friendless.

So its ok if a NW7 makes fun of a nw7 or says his life is hell but its like not ok if a NW1 says that a NW7 life is hell?

This past summer I attended a wedding and was reunited with several high school friends I haven't seen in years. We're all around 27-28 years old. Of the 9 of us reacquainted male friends:

5 have no visible hair loss(a few rocking long bangs, so can't say 100%, but for sure within NW1-2)
2 very high hairline NW3 types
1 NW2.5-3ish with slight thinning in the crown
Me with my NW2.5, although fortunately with my advanced combover skills, I look like an NW1 in all the pictures up on facebook

I'll be honest, when I see other dudes my age with similar or more advanced hairloss I do experience a feeling of reassurance...makes me feel like less of a freak. But I wish I didn't get this feeling. It's wrong. I want hair loss to be cured for all my friends and family

I think its normal to not want to feel isolated in a painful experience even if you never talk about it, its a commonality. Commonality means normalcy. Normalcy when suffering something that makes you feel ostracized is relief.

Very interesting theory and I think there is some truth to what you say.

Have you ever noticed how people insult other people in a joking way?

And then if the person complains the other person will say, 'i'm only joking!'

Give it another 5 or so years and half of those full heads will be balding as well

I hope in my forties I'll only be a NW3 and some of people who were dicks will end up NW7. I'll offer the fuckers false pity, 'I feel so bad for you. Your hair was so nice!'

Man you life is pathetic, imagine if they knew what you were posting now. They would probably die laughing

More like "Just shave it bro!"

hey tellerquil so you were receding at 21 ? and you maintained well until now ?
Do you think that if you had started propecia and minoxidil you would have been even better ?
Cause your hair look really good for 30.

I started receding at 21 and I didn't go on treatments until I was 29.

My hair loss was slow because of genetics tbh. People lose hair at different rates. There are some guys on here who went from NW1 to NW4 in 2 years. There are others who have been a NW2 with little regression in over 10 years.

In short - I cant give you any advice - its just luck (unless you consider me unlucky for balding a little before 40)
