UCman needs a 'piece.
Only then will he know if the society he lives in is persecuting him for being bald, or if it's all just in his head.
Thank you cuebald (I like you more than qball btw) for the most direct logical test to my condition. Sometimes I want to give in and get a really good one or make it good and believable just so I don't have to deal with the stigma anymore. If wearing a hat is any indication (no funny looks or grimaces) then it is a safe assumption that people will treat me normally and if I put a little extra work into it...then I'm pretty sure the female attention would return as well. I know I am a good looking guy but baldness just retards it to an unacceptable point to most people. They can see the potential but I can't fulfill it unless I fake it, which is risky and is probably best I remain honest about my condition, but my heart aches everyday. Just watch me get a system and work out at home (f*ck gyms!) and become CCS's f****ing hero!
this post right here ladies and gents....this is what makes you a PERFECT candidate for a psychology study on things like low self esteem, BDD and the impact it can have on somebody. I wish there was some way to get through to you and I hope you do get better one day...but I think it would be much more benefitial if you were to do it as a bald man...rather than get a hairpece or a tatoo or something. Wouldn't you want to prove that you could live a good life as a bald person? I think that sense of gratification would be far better. You need to put it in perspective...you don't have a "condition"...you're bald. Straight up...like many men, you're bald...thats it. You've lost your hair...to idiotic, superficial people and 16 year old girls...you're gross....to the majority of normal, well adjusted people you having hair makes no difference! Your thought revolve around baldness so you think its the first and only thing they see...but even when they do notice...it will never be as big a deal to them as it is to you.
the reason your case is so interesting is because unlike other guys who struggle internally with going bald regardless of what others think...you hate being bald BECAUSE you think other people judge you for it and I'm telling you thats BS. If you were a cool, funny person nobody would hold baldness against you. ITs not like its this insurmountable obstacle that nobody will like you or date you because of. And I'm NOT just saying this because I'm scared of being Norwood 6 one day which I will be eventually....If I didn't see tonnes of bald people all the time living their lives and socializing then I may believe you...and if I had ever gotten the indication (before I lost my hair) that there was a severe stigma towards baldness then I'd believe you...but the fact is every man in my family is bald and its never stopped them. MY own dad couldn't believe how upset I was because it happened to him and never held him back. IF being bald was an issue because you hated it regardless of what others thought and it was a sign of mortality and aging, etc. then thats one thing...but to hate being bald because you think everybody is judging you negatively is ridiculous! Would you judge somebody based on a physical trait they couldn't control even if they were really cool despite it? The majority of normal people ARE'NT that shallow and vain to not be able to look past it. Hollywood isn't the real world my man...its a culture that is built on preying on the insecurities of non "perfect" people (which is just about everybody) in order to make money. And EVEN IN HOLLYWOOD the stigma behind baldness has been diminished greatly.
so love me or hate me...the fact is, you just don't want to admit that you're responsible for own hand in life. You think being bald sucks?....try walking around being 5'7 or less...the fact is, I've heard women absoulutely SLAUGHTER short men...saying sh*t like they wouldn't date a Brad Pitt look-alike if he were shorter than them...and these same women love Jason Statham for example.
Point is...baldness may suck, and it may detract from your looks a bit and some women may HATE it....but in the end it shouldn't be a life-killer because it is ultimately a sign of MASCULINITY...and women like masculine men. Shortness on the other hand is unfortunately more of a feminine trait. So be thankful you're over 6 foot because I guarantee you if you were 5'6 and Norwood 1 you'd have the most severe Napoleon Complex ever and would HATE being short....
and with that...we give praise to Neil Straus, who is both bald AND 5'6 and has lived a life fitting for a movie all because he decided he didn't want to be "that guy" who wallows, sulks, and didn't get laid anymore...so he played his shitty hand like it was pocket aces and came out on top.
