How Much Can Getting Bald Impact Your Look?

[WaccWaccWacc]

I honestly do believe everything in life is what you make it. I have seen people without limbs live a very fulfilling, happy, non-envious life. Certainly baldness can be seen as such of a little issue as it not bother someone at the slightest. With this persona - women that are not attracted to your bald head also are of no importance to you - similarly to women who do not like skinny, short, or black guys (etc)z I think this is the side that many of those “surely it affects someone to a degree” people are missing.

With this being said those characters do not exist on these forums. Theres no chance. You only commit to something you seek out mystery to. If it didn’t bother you at the slightest you wouldn’t be here. When was the last time you did something that you didn’t care for every single day of the week? If hair loss became optional and all you had to do was press a button to grow your hair to age 13 levels... everyone on this forum would press the button. This is the side that the “you’re a weak minded incel” people are missing.

Anyway continue on, lol.

Well said, but I will go a step further. There are people on this site who are so messed up that if there was a cure with no side effects and maintenance that grew all of their hair back, they won't suddenly stop being depressed and start having the time of their life as they claim. No, instead if will be some other feature they will fixate on that is keeping them from being with "Stacey". They will leave this forum and join some other forum that is all based on that singular feature and how it is holding them back.

Okay, that part may have been an exaggeration but you get my point. Those types certainly have proliferated on the forum.

I believe this subject is far more nuanced than a few others on here and have even pointed out. I agree with you that their position is ridiculous and an extreme, just as you appear to agree that the other extreme is also ridiculous. However, I am sure you would agree that broader society sees treating hairloss with drugs and other procedures to be completely outrageous, a sign of potential narcissism, and would cast a negative view on you. I have personally seen this. I am sure you wouldn't casually mention to people in the real world whatever regimen you are using and for good reason. You're suppose to take it on the chin. For some people, it's really not a big deal and they can move on with their lives. For many others, it is a big blow to their sense of self.

Of course I agree, to mention anything about treating your hairloss is a mark of vanity and shame, particularly for men. It is looked at as a sign of narcissism, I have seen it as well. I would never mention to anyone I am taking things against it.

For 99% of people you shouldn't mention anything, there is one close friend who asked me about taking things because he was worried about his own hair, only then did I openly discuss it with him. I told him about finasteride and minoxidil, told him to read up the side effect profile and that statistically, the chance of his side effects occurring are small. I would not push anything stronger than this and never have, I believe there is a sane limit to what a person should take, that's why I'm not an advocate for dutasteride either, let alone stronger things that some people take.

I would never bring the subject up otherwise, it's just considered weird for lack of a better word.

That's why this forum should exist as sort of a save haven to discuss these things, because the opportunities to do so in real life are few and far between.

And I have always maintained that this disease can be overcome, it just makes life that much more difficult. There is no reason for me or anyone else to be vilified for this statement, it is rather innocuous. For that guy who posits that he knows many people who truly don't care, well, I suppose I can believe it, I'm not telepathic and can't read his mind, but I am almost 100% sure that if he was given a button to magically press with no side effects to get his hair back, he and everyone else would do it.

So it seems almost impossible to me that people just don't care when they go bald, but rather they see the mostly ineffective tools we have at our disposal to fight this disease, and it is disheartening to some.

I have also always maintained that as long as a person has some hair, and at least some hairline, that there is no appreciable difference to their social interactions, at least regarding hair loss. My position has been that if you are Norwood 5+ in your early twenties, you are a statistical anomaly (which is true) and now your social and dating prospects have become much more challenging. I think people who haven't walked in the shoes of such people shouldn't really stand on their soap box and claim to know otherwise. It is quite devastating, especially if you don't have the other physical or qualitative features to compensate for it.

However, if you are a Norwood 2 or 3, maybe diffusing a bit but not too bad, I don't think it's a big deal. You aren't much different than a Norwood 1 in many peoples eyes. Thanks to treatments I am in that latter category, so for me, hair loss does not affect my life much. It certainly isn't an excuse for any "failures" I have while dating, that would just be due to incompatibility or other factors, so no big deal of course and not something I would complain about at all.

So that's why each person's case is individual and it's not fair, in my eyes, to just tell everyone to "man up". It's not so simple. To someone like me, it is fair and furthermore I would want to hear such things. For someone else? It all depends. That is even more the reason to have an environment of encouragement and sympathy, to help guys deal with the psychological pain that this disease causes.

I think suicides do take place due to hairloss.one woman teenager in India committed suicide last year because she lost her self worth. I don't know how can people not feel bad about something that substantially alters their looks. This is a primitive emotion since time immemorial,people have been cursed with this. Telling people to not feel anything for baldness is equivalent to telling people to not feel scared in front of a lion imo. Until you are emotionless like me, my logic says it is the worst thing that can happen to a man. My poll question should have been how bad you feel with baldness

Yeah tell that to the hundred of million or maybe more of people who are bald or balding and live their lives regardless of that. People commit suicide daily for different reasons, do you actually have an idea of how many people commit suicide daily or are you just speaking out of your ***. We are 8 billion on Earth, do the math and check the possibilities including reasons lol... And besides that, nobody said to not feel something about it, nobody even said to not be even depressed or upset or whatever, nobody even said to not take action against it, or fight it with whatever you want, maybe even cutting your balls off if you are that depressed or insane about it.

But letting it control your life and transform you into a suicidal human who does not see anything besides it shows clearly that not hairloss was the culprit in the first place, it was just the trigger of your underlying mental illnesses that you already had and maybe did not even know about them. You all would like and a lot of you think that if others just move on and live their lives, that it means that is something wrong with them for not feeling what you feel, but in reality the wrong is on your sides, in your mentally ill brains and other problems that nobody knows about, especially on the internet...

Nobody likes it and just like @whatintheworld said, 99% of the balding or bald people would take a full head of hair instead of a bald one, but if it's not the case and not possible, what should we do, kill ourselves or try to do the best we can with what we have, in the end we all have one life, why destroy it just because you or some chicks don't like me or that i don't get the attention that brad pit gets on tinder?

That's why people call you vain and narcissists, it's because most of you are, baldness impacts your dreams of f*****g 18 years on tinder, that's the biggest impact that it has on your lives or at least that's where it all starts, most of you just can't get past that point, it's that simple... Most of you will pass that point forced by age and other problems but a lot of you like yourself for example, member since 2014, will come in 2020 and spread the same bullshit over and over again, asking yourself so stupidly, "how do other men just accept baldness and move on and live their lives, when i'm feeling like ending my life daily"... That's just how most of you are and that's that, it's not rocket science and none of your internet blabbering is gonna change it, especially since most of you refuse to see the real problem and try maybe to change something about it, or at least ask for some help or try to find some solutions, actions...

for my life, I picked the 75%. I will say personally with my hair, went most of my looks, leading self assurance/confidence and interest in doing much of anything. I still work hard and am succesful. I still have a sh*t ton of hobbies, and work out but thats mostly just with my close guy buddies or solo stuff. I have no interest in fat girls or women with kids and that seems to be the pinnacle of what bald men in my area get so meh. Guess its cocaine and prostitutes for me......!
I think for most guys hair affects your looks quite majorly. there are plenty enough studies showing how hairloss is seen as less attractive, so as I always say, if you take two equal men in looks, career, and personality but one is bald...... guess which one gets more dates. Its also proven attractive people get further in life more often. People want to be surrounded by good looking people so they tend to get hired, promoted and utilized more. Theres always going to be that oddball case but on average yes, hairloss affects looks substantially. If that was the case every woman who suffered alopecia would shave HER head and rack it up on tinder with male models.

 

[TomRiddle]

"That oddball case" lmao, damn how fucked in the head some of you are, but i don't know why it amazes me when we are on a hairloss forum, most people mind their own lives and businesses and don't let something like this dictate their lives and opportunities, if all balding or bald people in the world would all be or think like this than this forum would be filled with these types of incelly comments but in reality there's the same people and same old comments everyday, with a few exceptions of course.. And lol at this whole incel comment of yours, just lmao, what a bunch of narcissistic mentally ill freaks unbelievable

People tell me I have movie star like looks and can get and girl. Now, with the answer on this poll, I can safely assume that losing hair is going to significantly change my marriage prospects.it is really disheartening that I will be bald before marriage because I can't marry now due to a chronic health issue.and when the issue resolves I will be bald

I swear that i try to understand what you are saying but i can't get an actual idea from the way you are writing it. And how tf can you base your opinion on a poll that 15 people answered with their personal opinions, wtf is this, how tf could some f*****g 15 randoms from the internet know how your life will look like, nobody knows you wtf is wrong with some of you, maybe go see a therapist maybe he could help you more than this useless poll lol.

Or maybe make a new poll and ask people here is you should kill yourself if you go bald, i bet that the majority would vote yes, take their advises and kill yourself after, i think it's only logical that one should do it after 10 random people from the internet said so...

I was expecting this question, it's usually used when people have no arguments and even if i will repeat myself for the 100 times, i will tell you also that it's a hairloss forum, everybody is free to join it, bald people, less bald people, people who maybe seek for information or just pure curiosity. I have to admit that my prolonged stay on this forum, even if it's because of the quarantine but it's getting more of my time than what i would have wanted, besides the fact that i already admitted that hairloss has affected me also, at least in some ways..

This does not mean that we have to share the same ideologies, mentalities and so on, it has nothing to do with the fact that most of you incels take it to another level and that your projections of your own frustration and experiences could actually make some insecure and frustrated kid who is balding to take drastic measures because of your advises and thoughts...

I admitted it already and admit it once more, it bothers me also and i don't wish it to nobody, not even to some of you mental ill freaks who have harmed innocent kids and made them go insane and cut their balls off, but that does not mean that i will let it control my life in the manner most of you let it and that does not mean that i will just sit and read your sh*t useless comments and say nothing just because we don't agree with each other...

As i said it many times, odds are not in favor or the users of these forums, whom represent nothing compared to the actual numbers of balding and bald people that are at this moment in the world, and the fact that most of these forums users are mentally ill tranny incel freaks, that does not mean that normal men who are bothered to an extent by hairloss can't join or roam or lurk or whatever on it...

Stop feeling so entitled just because you feel things differently or because hairloss has affected you more than others, we know, it does not matter what happens to others or that others have way worse problems, it does not matter that thousand of people die daily of hunger and so on, it does not matter anything, the only thing that really matters for most of you, is that you are balding and want everybody to acknowledge your pain and everybody should agree with you regardless...

I saw today a comment on reddit from a girl who has thinning hair, she said that every time she goes out of her house and sees another woman with a full head of thick hair she actually curses her in hopes of her also get baldness or thinning hair. I was stunned and i swear that even if i have read a lot of sh*t on the internet lately, this really blocked me, you do not even know what you could say to her. Just like the retarded prick from this forum who advises others to blame their parents for the poor choice of a perfect sexual and marriage partner that lead them to be born and go bald, it's simply mind blowing, a lot of you really need serious psychiatric help, there is no other way.

Exactly as i said, a bunch if hypocritical narcissistic mentally ill freaks, nothing more... And i'm talking about the majority not about the exceptions, which are quite few also, like in every place on this rock...

Bald men have no problem getting married. Do you even go outside sometimes? And why do you want to get married? What for? I've never understood such men. There's nothing good in marriage for you.

Useless stuff for men. Most marriages break up this is a fact. The children stay with their mother and you pay child support like a fool. And what is the point of depriving yourself of your freedom? There are so many beautiful girls around.

Not to mention the fact that you will lose your half of the property. I never understood why men voluntarily go into slavery. I understand why girls need marriage. It is profitable for them.
