Embarrassment of re-growth?

[nameless]

I didn't really start going out ever until I was around 25. I used to hang out with a small circle from my MMA gym, they would go out a lot and I would join in every so often, but because I was a framecel and from around 13-24ish (I weighed around 130 lbs) I would not participate in anything like that. But to answer your question I did once in awhile.

I'm surprised that someone who has only gone to clubs a few times would think he's in a position to make age demographic characterizations about what goes on inside of clubs.

Since you rarely go to clubs you wouldn't know if guys in their 40s go to clubs. I'm surprised that someone who has only gone to clubs a few times would think he's able to make characterizations about what goes on inside of clubs.

The last time I went out in September with a training partner of mine to a very popular 30s+ place here I didn't see one guy in the place that looked like he was in his 40s. Just telling you what I observed.

1. You can't go to one club a couple times and make conclusions about overall club-life from those few experiences. If you went to the beach twice in your life and didn't get bit by a shark would you tell the world there are NO sharks at beaches?

2. Also, you can't really guess how old people are. For example, if I got my hair back I could look 10 - 20 years younger. I'm in my late 40s so if I got my hair back I would like late 20s to late 30s If you saw me in a club you'd assume I'm in my late 20s to late 30s but you would be wrong.

1. But you don't know for sure. For example, if I got my hair back I might look 10 - 20 years younger. I'm in my late 40s so if I got my hair back I would like late 20s to late 30s If you saw me in a club you'd assume I'm in my late 20s to late 30s but you would be wrong.

2. There's still the issue that you haven't been to clubs enough to make judgments. If you went to the beach twice in your life and didn't get bit by a shark would you tell the world there are NO sharks in beaches?

So you are saying your almost 50 and getting your hair back is going to cut 20 years off your appearance? You must have some great skin bud. Kudos to you for taking care of your skin.

Btw, why is it such a passionate subject for you? To each their own. If you like hanging around in clubs that's great, personally I enjoy spending Friday and sat nights lifting because thats what I love to do.

My skin looks fine. I live in the Pacific Northwest where there is lots of cloud cover and I work indoors. Plus, I use sunblock every time I go outside. Thank you for your concern about my skin.

Why are clubs "such a passionate issue" to me - huh?
You're the one who raised the issue of guys my age going to clubs, not me. I'm just responding to the issues you raised. I thought you would appreciate me taking the time to work through all of your concerns.

Lol. All I originally said was men in their 40's hit up night clubs? Well I learned something new today then. I have an open mind, so thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Cool. I hope I cleared things up for you.

You're welcome.

If I get my hair back and I'm still single I might as well hit the clubs to see what I can make happen.

 

[Baldhurts]

If I get my hair back and I'm still single I'll hit the clubs. If I get my hair back and I'm still single I might as well hit the clubs.

Do it man. I have a hard time feeling relaxed in clubs. I had a lot of fun last time though because I drank 5 or 6 double jacks on the rocks. Amazing what being drunk/tipsy can do for me.

I'm sorry you have difficulty relaxing and enjoying yourself in party situation. Seriously, if I get my hair back you could go to clubs with me if it makes you feel better to be with someone who knows his way around the clubs. But be warned: the guys who go to clubs with me should be willing to have lots of sex with lots of attractive women.

Those similarities and differences I wrote about were in regards to how he looked in that one pic and how I looked in my early 20s. That one of pic of him looks similar to how I looked in real life back then, but not exactly. I would not trade the way I looked back then for the way he looks in that pic or any other pic. I liked the way I looked better.

That was over 20 years ago. I honestly don't know how much my facial looks have changed. I won't be able to tell unless/until I get a bunch of hair. I agree that there is a real possibility that my face has changed (some) while I've been missing hair and I can't see those changes because I'm missing hair. I have to wait to see what I have to work with if/after I get my hair back. If I get my hair back soon I anticipate looking a little different than I used to, but not a lot different.

Also, there are EXTREMELY promising efforts into reversing the entire aging process anyway so maybe we will all soon look exactly like we did when we were 21. I'm keeping a close eye on anti-aging research and I believe a cure could come soon.

Well firstly I'd say your face has probably changed more than just a little bit, unless someone takes pretty sharp care of themselves they can tend to look completely different in their 40's compared to actual youth. For guys who put on bloated facial weight, you can only really tell it's him from looking at the eyes and nose, if skin tone turns redder as a result of refined sugar and alcohol, general poor diet, it becomes harder still as distinguished facial features and even entire shape are completely different.

I just think you're taking huge emotional risks by believing hair will make you look 20, 25 or even 30 again, to me it seems optimistic. But of course I could be wrong, I'm sure you probably believe I am, but personally I definitely couldn't put my stock into that sort of belief.

However I would say that if I am right, and a great NW1 on your head still makes you just look like a middle aged guy with an NW1, then I would say you seem like you'd deal better with that than most people including myself. If I set myself up for such a fall I don't know what I'd do.
