It's all a matter of perspective. Most bald losers on here would give all they own to have a gf who they like for a single week. You lasted a few months with her. You're bald so that number is only going to increase; in 10 years it will be 12 years etc. My advice still applies; a bald guy has no business going to bars and thinking of picking up.
As for that subtle art book, I read the 'Models' book by the same author and I'm sorry to say that the material is completely ineffective. I'm sure that the stuff works for guys with hair. After feeling ripped off, I decided that I didn't want to buy another book by that author again. I have stopped reading these 'how to live' or self help style books now; the modern ones all seem very similar. I will read pure philosophy though.
Recent books that I enjoyed: The Day of the Jackal, Fahrenheit 451, Thinking fast and slow, Influence, Wiseguy/Goodfellas. I also read a book of Nietzsche; it was very tough but really worth it in the end. I'm also reading Darwin's original book on natural selection; maybe it's outdated nowadays but I want to get through it. I'll also pick up a Stephen Hawking book after that then maybe some more technical science books if I'm still interested.
One other book that I recently started is "If this is a man" by Primo Levi. I really like the way that it is written almost like an adventure novel, but it's all true and horrific. Jordan Peterson is a fan of books like these, that explain a person's experience in the most hellish situation. Being bald in today's society really is the worst life to live, but this reminds us that there were/are times and places where people went through and survived even worse. Books like this won't make you feel any less pain about baldness but it will give you some perspective.
TLDR. As a bald guy, I recommend try to read more books that teach you something new or make you think/question things rather than these 'how to live' style books. You might spend 20 minutes on dating apps per day and all for nothing because you're bald. Put those 20 minutes into reading a good book and you'll have new perspectives in a few weeks.
Cheers,
Yea i spend way too much time on social media (depressing) ... i need t o replace that with reading/acquiring knowledge like books you've suggested.
It's weird sometimes i get so sad/nostalgic about my ex/that time of my life when i had hair / better hair and feel so awful
then the next day i'm like who cares and barely remember her.
such is life lol.
the funny part is my ex girlfriend was a complete train wreck (as i've already told you guys) (huge sexual partner count, instagram attention wh***, dressed skanky) pretty much everything a man shouldn't want in a gf! gues that shows how destoyed my self esteem is lol.
