I Haven't Dropped My Two Cents In For A While, So Here's A Few Dollars

[Austin:316]

Is that a good title for a thread? It should actually be euros since I am in Europe and so are many others, but dollars sounds better. Anyway let's get this going.

I was on here yesterday for the first time in yonks, just reading through some of the threads, you know yourself, and I came across a very darksome thread. I mean, it was enough to give anyone a lifelong bout of misery so bad that they'd never leave their bed again. I won't name the person who created it. They know who they are, and they should win award for the melocholiest thread ever. I think "melocholiest" is a word.. let me check... no it is not, so we will just say morbid. It was one bleak, morbid bastard of a thread. But it did get me thinking.

The thread in question was posing the deep dilemna of whether or not it would be understandable to take one's own life because of hair loss. I even watched the 20 minute video attatched, which was basically saying if your face isn't absolutely and symetrically perfect you have no chance of ever getting an attractive woman into bed. I have two words: Action Bronson!

What does that mean? Well, he's an American rapper who I recently discovered and the way I discovered him was by playing UFC 2 on ps4 which has one of his tracks on its soundtrack. One hell of a track at that. He is 350 to 400 pounds, bald, not at all what people might call pretty, but he has a youtube series that films his life and in them girls are flocking around him like birds to bread and basically begging him to bed them. Maybe they are paid off, maybe as soon as the camera stops rolling they are told, "Thanks for acting like the world's biggest sl*t - here's $20." But I like to think I can tell a genuine reaction when I see one... So let's get to the grand point:

You got to have style, class, talent, and know what you want. Don't just worry about what girls think of you, but guys too. Action Bronson walked into a New York butcher shop and some Italion guy came up to him feeling his expensive coat and saying "Look at this guy," still feeling his expensive coat, "You're going the wrong way," the Italion guy laughed, and Action Bronson responded, "I'm going the right way my friend." And he sure is, and I think we should follow.

So, you see, people, it ain't all about looks. Not giving a sh*t what anyone thinks of you and having a talent and a passion go a long way in all aspects of life. If anyone doesn't know Action Bronson I advise you check him out. This guy is on the level. I'll leave you with some of his lyrics:

"You know I got my hoodie on,
And it's such a hot night,
I'm coming straight from Queens,
Catch me in the limo
Like it's prom night."

I want hair. f*** motivational speeches,

Maybe you're right, glass half full versus glass half empty. This is a forum for people who think their glass has miniaturised away to an NW5 and are wondering if they'll ever get to drink water again.

Well, that was well put. I guess I was trying to shed a little light on a dark situation. How has there not been a cure when we are in 2016? With all the things they are able to do in the world today yet they can't regrow hair on a human head. All we have are a million false cures and shady remedies that really don't leave us that much better off. There is no way to sugar coat it: it sucks. And until a cure comes along or at least something that lessens it we must suffer beneath the crushing weight of this cruel disease. At least we have each other to lean on, because as Cervantes said in Don Quixiote the only thing that lessens sorrow is to have a partner in your sorrow.

Looks matters but despite that, even if you are ugly you can still get average women but you need confidence and personality because you will be compensating.

I always recommend guys make the best of a bad situation.

Either fix it - work around it - accept it - or crawl in a cave and die.

Never heard of Action Bronson. As for those girls that are flocking around him. They have a name. They're called star fuckers. Or we could also call them gold digging attention w****s.
Pretty harsh I know. But dat be the truth yo.

If he wasn't Action Bronson, the guy with the youtube channel and rap songs on video games, he would just be another ugly, fat bald guy that the ladies wouldn't give a second glance.

Actually a cure seems to be in sight with Tsuji and other treatments in the pipeline.

I'm personally waiting for Aclaris to work some magic.

Still sucks that they can't get here sooner though.

I've not been on this forum for a while but what people here lack is an understanding of the fact that not everything is black and white. Where I live I've heard and seen women talk about their types and dimiss guys for being 'too pretty', preferring 'a bit of rough'. Do they mean they want someone ugly? No...they just want someone who is masculine... Attitude wise..and not necessarily the guy with the prettiest hair. Do I deny how important 'looks' can be in todays world? No. It can be very important sadly...but attraction can be complex and people here often won't understand that. I went to a football game yesterday and looked around...honestly, it was harder to find a guy who hadn't lost a fair bit of hair than it was to find a giy with full hair (unless they were very young). Certainly after 30...most guys I think are losing at least a bit. Losing hair young is hard for sure...but regardless it is a normal, male process.

Keep in mind, most of the men that frequent these forums happen to be twinks, which makes hair a even more vital part of fitting the part of a viral, and masculine looking male.


Move aside the pseudo motivational bullshit. It won't help score the babes, just like multi level.marketing pyramids won't make any of the sheep following rich.


Healthy mind set is good for mental health, but won't make me rich, and attractive.

 

[shookwun]

As long as a person does this, he/she will be attractive.

Hang out with friends who are uglier than you are. The best way to look better, relatively
speaking.

You are probably one of the best indirect trolls on this forum .

Could always adopt the peasant by day, stud by night hair piece principles.

What is with the blue pill philosophy being thrown around so much as of late?

Looks aren't everything in life, no. I don't think anyone here ever really says that; however, from a social (esp. dating) standpoint, it is the most important thing.

The reason the discussion of girls comes up so much, is because for a male, this is where hair loss is going to affect them the worst. No one here can say that they don't enjoy sex and/or forging romantic relationships, especially with women they find attractive. There is also the matter of lost identity. If you were to bring biology into it, these are the most simplistic and purest form of happiness that occur in life.

It's why there are a million sonnets, songs and other sh*t about how nothing else matters as long as the woman in your life is around. Tommy and Gina stuck together despite having nothing but a prayer to live on, like the song says. If Gina was absolutely repulsed by Tommy and left him, then literally the only thing he would have left would be satisfaction with his own identity.

There was once a time when fancy cars, awesome careers and shiny Iphones didn't exist. Satisfaction with yourself and the love, sex and company of another was the thing that kept people going and could result in a lifetime of happy memories and unfortunately, looks are the deciding factor here — it's human nature.

That Guy, I think some people are just moving away from a fatalistic mind set and trying to get on in life without having a pity party.
