Early 30s Bald Guy Still Gets Loads of Women

[Boondock]

I wonder if the bashing of this guy's look reflects the insecurities present in all you guys....

I think what he did was bad, but there was no need to say how unpleasant he looks. Thing is, I thought he looked rather ok. About average.

I find it rather sad that we are all suffering from balding here and yet we are still bashing some guy for his baldness....

Like saf said, we're not bashing this guy, since we're in his position. We're just observing the facts: if you read the comments on that article, you'll see what people think of him. Some even overtly mentioned his bald head.

One more reason to keep fighting this sh*t.

:agree: On the contary if the guy was actually good looking I think you'd find that most of the womens comments would be more like "he could arrest me anytime" or "I would'nt mind working off the fine with him at all". Sorry but thats the difference looks can make.

For a women to say that, he would need to be model material.
Really, he would need to be very handsome for a women to stop think this as rape.

Like saf said, we're not bashing this guy, since we're in his position.

So the comment about him being a sly bald guy is not bashing?
Or the comment about him being here in 2003 waiting for HM?

It's all in good taste bro. I'm poking fun at slybaldguys as much as anything. For the record, though, I'm completely open in saying that this guy would look way better with hair.

Ridicule Slybaldguys all you want, but at least those guys are able to deal with this in a healthy way, and are happy with themselves. They're over there laughing at us for going to extremes and wasting our money.

if it wouldnt effect them that site wouldnt be exist...at least some here dont live in denial.

^ Exactly. The whole place is a collective delusion. If it wasn't an issue for them they wouldn't rack up thousands of posts saying "yeah bro, we look great bro."

 

[GeminiX]

Just to play Devil's advocate, it's a fascinating part of the human condition that there is such open resentment to the sly guys (no idea who they are, but I've heard them mentioned here).

I suspect they say similar if inverted things about the posters here.

It's part of being human to find someone to attack in some-way, I suspect we've being doing something similar going back to when we used to run around battering each other with the thigh bones from woolly mammoths

A lot of hair loss camps mock each other. We mock wig wearers and sly guys. Wig wearers laugh at our ridiculously long and side-effect prone regimens (not all of us have these, but you've all seen people taking 10+ meds/supps a day).

I personally have a lot of respect for people who take the shaved route. Look at sandovalusa's story, for example...he's taken a positive step in his life from the standpoint of a difficult situation.

My issue with slybaldguys is the delusion element. It's one thing to say "I choose to shave, and it's not the end of the world." It's quite another to say "bro, looks great, chicks all love it, can't believe i didn't do this 20 years ago, unbelievably good feedback from everyone bro," - while posting avatars of yourself standing with hot women 20 years younger than you. That is delusion, and overcompensation. You have to admit what you've lost if you want to really move on in life. The whole place is a joke.

I'm not saying it doesn't affect them, some of them probably are affected by it. I'm saying they're dealing with this in a much healthier way than people here are. This forum is so negative at times that it makes me laugh out loud, seriously. "Oh, bald people are so discriminated, boo-f*****g-hoo".

SBG: We can live with this, this actually looks good.

HairLossTalk.com: Oh no, all bald guys look so f*****g hideous, and are always ridiculed and mocked. Poor us, there's nothing we can do, life is over, I'll never get a girl/job again, rant rant rant. Repeat.

Oh, and about living in denial, some people here clearly are, because they're attributing all their failures in life to their male pattern baldness, and instead of trying to better themselves and change their thought-pattern they come here and b**ch and whine every single day. Things don't get better when you behave like that, no matter how much hair you have.

Good point, and to be honest I've only checked out their forums a couple of times. Still, you've got to admit it's better than coming here and bitching to one another about how awful life is?

Whatever works man. If they can cope with this by doing what they do over there and actually be happy in life, no matter how delusional it might be or seem, well, let them. Good for them I say.

Yeah man, all power to them and all power to the sly look. Some guys look good with it, and a lot more don't look that much worse than before.

But...I think you would be surprised if you looked through many of the stories here. We're actually quite keen to tell people to shave. Take Joe_91 for example. He came on here and most people pretty much said, "yes, you looked better with hair, and it sucks to lose it at 18...BUT you still look great bald." Ditto sandovalusa - pretty much everyone was supportive of him going sly, while acknowledging it must have been tough.

I just find the slybaldguys forum quite immature and, frankly, detached from reality. When I shaved my head my experience was nothing like theirs. Yes, it wasn't the end of the world, and far worse things could've happened. But it did look worse, it made me stick out like a sore thumb in the office at work, and I had quite a few of the 'chemo' and 'thug' comments, and I got far less attention from girls. It IS tough to bear, even if it isn't that bad, and the way to deal with that is first to accept the bad side and to move on, rather than to say "nah bro, looks great, why did anyone ever need hair, you look amazin bro." That's why I dislike the place: it's like a broken record.

I wasn't talking about HairLossTalk.com in general, which I think is a good forum with many good posters, I should've clarified that.

I'm not saying SBG is for everyone, but I'm sure they've helped a lot of people get over this quickly. I've never completely shaved my head, though I'm currently buzzing it all the way down, and I don't know if I'll join "their club" when I do shave. But if I don't then that's alright, people need to find their own way to cope with this, whether it be shaving, hair piece, hair transplant or whatever. It's about being happy, that's our goal at the end of the day. No matter the cost, and no matter the method. So what if they're delusional if they're happy?

To the stuff in bold: I 100% agree and I think that's an excellent point.

To the point in italics, there's nothing wrong with being happy through delusions, but it's inauthentic in my opinion. It's a bit like bad singers at talent shows who are convinced they're the next Tina Turner: nothing wrong with what they're doing, but at the same time I have zero respect for their lack of grounding in reality.
