How do you react?

[managuense]

Tell them it's because you are about a million years more genetically advanced than them...

Think about it. Cave men had hair while aliens (the little grey ones with big eyes) don't.

No wonder aliens are so uptight... Abducting humans and ramming probes up their asses... dutasteride rage anyone?

 

[Gilgamesh]

honestly, I just say exactly how I feel

like, 'yeah it really sucks, I really loved my hair, pretty depressed about it"

I don't see the benefit of putting of facades and defenses and acting so alpha macho when you're hurt inside: just be real with yourself

but I don't know, maybe it's just me: most males have this one upsmanship going on all the time: i just dont see the point

you dont need to always 'win', there's no race in life guys

 

[VWdude]

yeah you are right... there is no race in life.. and there is no need for uncalled for dumb remarks either.

before I was balding noticeably enough for people to notice, I'd always be out and people would make fun of baldies

people are thinking it anyways, so it doesn't really make a difference if it's verbalized: it sucks, but thats why we're on this forum

if we ever find a satisfactory remedy (whether a transplant, or some drug, or whatever): life will be all that much better and we'll appreciate what we have more (i think)

Drop to your knees and cry like a child, explain that you are in the early stages of chemotherapy for a late stage tumour in your neck and the doctors have given you, at most, a 30% chance of making it past 6 months, this is causing, amongst other terrible things, your hair to fall out, whilst still on your knees explain that all the things you hoped you would achieve are empty dreams, sad sad empty dreams, cry some more, sob, raise to your feet and after a few seconds of staring at the sky, shout 'why me god....why me' raise your fist to the sky and once again scream 'why me...' cry 'why the f*** me'..

your friend should be embarrassed in to silence by this point, now punch him in the eye repeatedly, all the time sobbing, he will accept this beating as some kind of emotional outlet from you and will not retaliate, with a final headsplitting blow scream 'I love you' and run away.

When he finds you in the local McDonalds 15 minutes later having, what appears to be, a good natured and happy conversation with your girlfriend and a quater pounder with cheese, simply tell him you met a tiny Ukranian man who cured you.

you have 2 choices:

1) Have other people thikn the person that made that comment is an *** and that your a confident and non threatening individual

OR

2) Have other people think youre a neurotic a**h** with no sense of humour and no sensitivity.


They'll know about your hairloss whether someone points it out or not...so that isnt an option. Besides...what goes around...comes around!

 

[Odelay]

I am a sexy beast, no one would dare say anything about my hair loss.

VW dude, yep, excellent thread going here! Way to get it going dude!

 

[hairschmair]

Put a big sarcastic smile on and say "that's not very nice thing to say now, is it? You've hurt my feelings, and in front of all these people!"

The key is to say it in a very sarcastic and condescending manner. He won't respond and everyone else will laugh. Any girls in the room will think you're really confident.

VW dude, yep, excellent thread going here! Way to get it going dude!

Glad you like it dude! its good knowing that everyone has their own input and that we can all relate.
