IF and that is a big IF he is getting treated like he says, then yes I can see his frustration. Although I would agree that bald people get disrespected, the stuff he describes is pretty extreme. I don't lock myself up in my house at all so I am exposed to society on daily basis and I just don't see what he describes at all, and believe me I am very observant. I just don't see constant abuse of bald guys, especially bald guys that are 40. Being bald at 40 really isn't that unusual. Maybe if he was in high school or college I could see this happening and pretty often, but he is not. I am not saying that he hasn't been **** on over the years, I am sure he has, but many of his posts put emphasis on how he is reading how people are looking at him and thoughts and **** like that. Yes they could be turned off by baldness. I know how baldness is looked down upon, but they could also be turned off by lack of style, being short, facial hair, or just being plain unattractive.
If people really **** on bald people on a daily basis like this fights would be breaking out every day which does not happen.
Joan when was the last time you have seen a bald guy being abused like the way he describes? In your post you bolded "EVERY DAY" so tell me when was the last time you have actually seen something like he has described? Let me answer that for you...NEVER. So don't even try to validate somebody's point without even witnessing it yourself. Again, I am not saying that it doesn't happen every now and then, because it does, but it highly doubt it is a daily event and it if is like others have said he needs to move. AGAIN 40yo bald guy. Is this really that shocking?
Good post.
The pattern I tend to see here is that experiences tend to be generalised too much.
I personally don't buy into all the BS that every single woman on the planet hates bald men and is only after a six figure salary and 9 inch penis due to some survey, crap article or stupid YouTube video fished from the bowels of the internet.
(Yes yes... I know I'm uglier without hair and my dating is more restricted etc.. but to say no woman will ever desire a bald man is absolute bollocks)
I agree though, there probably are people who have awful experiences of balding due to their specific environment.. and I feel for them, but I could read the same story with balding replaced with acne, ginger hair, height, facial disfigurements, personality disorders... The list goes on...
These crappy experiences aren't exclusive to balding men.. sometimes all it takes is being slightly different... It depends on where you are and who/what you are dealing with
Personally, I've found the process of going bald easier to deal with than severe acne at high school. Age, company, support networks, life experience, family etc... All things that will influence your experience and how you react/cope.
There's too many factors to list.
