I remember reading yesterday that Rudiger essentially mentioned that transparency of character from Johnson would be better. So it's actually more about how to conduct yourself when in this section. I agreed with him when he said it's actually nothing to do with looks, rather how you talk about it. In that it's more about validation and not helping others. Like he said, if someone is attractive, they'll clearly state that and write about their experiences, however, there'll be something for others to learn there. It will prove beneficial/interesting to them in some way. It's good for everyone to write about their personal lives, there's something there for everyone, however small.
Reason I think people are angry with Johnson is due to perceived superiority and subtle bragging. People don't find it cool when its to deliberately make them feel bad. I mean doing that online, especially in a section where most regulars are struggling with looks/hair is not great. In the past I've been accused of something similar but
@Exodus2011 said he realised I am only writing my experiences and am supportive of all people. Most people agree with this consensus. There is no need for me to get validation on here since I know what/how my life is. I've supported 40 year olds on here who had more hair than me or people who had way less. More rounded posts would benefit others.
For the record I vaguely remember some of Johnson's pics. I'd say he was around a 6-7 with full hair. It's quite sad that you suffer from low self esteem and need validation at this age too despite your positive experiences. You should have already realised this and your posts should be different. If you'd helped some of the guys on here, maybe they'd be warmer. Take the example of
@DoctorHouse he's much older but liked pretty much by all members regardless of age, norwood and looks. Why? Because while he has apparently a fullish head of hair and no look concerns, he's helped a lot of people on here while writing about his own experiences.
It's not just a case of "misery loves company." I know that also exists on here but people need to be able to relate to the man behind the screen in this section and feel good about who they are talking to. They could add humour, interesting stories, be supportive e.t.c.
I know a few people who have left this section because they've found the posts repetitive, too many passive aggressive attacks, false delusional stories, people full of envy and seeking validation. The mental state of many members drove some away. And those members have been different genders, looks and norwood level. The welfare of this section lies in all different people getting along (pretty well) and learning/debating constructively.
