So ive been fighting hairloss ten yrs. im lucky in that im still a nw2 and Finasteride seems to have been my saving grace.

Im 30. I recently made friends with a guy thats 25 and a nw6. Normal thing to happen yes. It dawned on me though that even at 30 my group of mates my age actually contains no fully bald guys. So speaking to this guy whos even younger was a real insight into the life of a 'baldy'.

Obviously we dont speak about baldness as a topic of conversation but other conversations (mainly about women) have brushed on it im engaged but hes single so we often banter about women as all guys do. Hes a happy chap and quite a confident guy but i noticed even with all the confidence he still puts himself down whej it comes to the dating game and women.

He sometimes talks a big game with them but always says things like oh well she wouldnt be interested in a bald dude/ id need togrow some hair/ hope she likes baldies etc etc. I try to pick him up sometimes sutely by saying things like dont be silly and i compliment him when he shaves and neatens up his closely trimmed horseshoe.

Hes a cool dude and it sucks what hairloss has done to him. No matter how good mood hes in or how confident it always comes back to that. He may say it as a joke but it shows deep down that sh*t has scarred him. He lives the nightmare i have avoided for now. As much as i am glad im not in his shoes hair wise i cant help but respect him to the fullest.

f***. That's all what I can say about this. f***. f*** this sh*t. f*** this disease. Yes, it makes us stronger; alas, what's the cost. That man, he's stronger than whatever you think 'strong' means. To be a wrong one; that's what balding feels like. And when there's no going back.. only God knows. I like to think that one day, we will get what's ours. This night, I tried to shoo away those negative comments about my hair.. but when people know, there's no way out. All opportunities, lost. Those peeps on my hairline, a knife in my 21 years old heart. I don't feel like crying anymore; I like to think that's there still is some justice. One day my man. One day.

On a recent flight, the guy next to me was middle aged and NW6 with grown out horseshoe. Ugly, very bad weak chin, round baby face. He was wearing a ring. I SO wanted to ask him for a picture of his wife, ask him how he managed to get someone to sleep with him, whether he had a child.

You're harsh, forehead. You should have just minded your own business.

Yeah next time keep your internal questions you didn't ask to yourself.

And as always #gist
He should have mentally just moved on instead of being so nosey.
Poor form.
