"if You're Bald, Grow A Beard, Bro!" I Hate This Advice So Much

Bit of a rant, but honestly, this is the thing I hate about male pattern baldness the most. How anyone who starts losing their hair is not only expected to shave it, but to add insult to injury, you're also practically required to grow out a bunch of disgusting, itchy facial hair.

Every bald guy I've ever seen who looked half-way decent was clean shaven, or at MOST had some stubble. NONE of the bald celebrities that people talk about ever have beards:
Patrick Stewart - clean shaven
Bruce Willis - clean shaven
Jason Statham - stubble at most, and it's all over (i.e. he also has stubble on his head)
Dwayne Johnson - clean shaven
Vin Diesel - clean shaven

I wonder why that is? Gee, maybe it's because people sub-consciously realize that having facial hair longer than the hair on your head looks STUPID. It looks stupid because it sends mixed signals. Having a completely smooth head sends the signal that you pay close attention to your appearance (hence shaving your head every couple days), but letting facial hair grow out signals that you don't care.

Every time I've seen a guy with a baby-smooth scalp and a long bushy beard, it has looked completely retarded, but they're all so proud of their bald heads and long, bushy beards, to the point where I'm really starting to think they're mentally ill. Normal men shave their face, then shave their head if they prefer. Why would you shave your head every two days, but never shave your face? It's f*****g WEIRD, and people should be laughing at this behavior, not encouraging it.

Another point: beards, baldness, back hair are all hyper-masculine secondary sex characteristics. In order to make these typically undesirable traits work, you also need to have the "desirable" masculine characteristics in spades (very big muscles, very tall, broad shoulders). If you just have the balness and the beard, but you're skinny and weak, again, it looks pathetic. But the vast majority of bald guys with beards are also scrawny. Sure, they "hit the gym, bro!", but they refuse to take steroids for the same reason they refused to take finasteride - because it "isn't natural, bro" - so they just wind up being scrawny and weak, having all of the ugly male characteristics but none of the attractive ones.

The holy trinity:

1. Get Jacked.
2. Get a Tan.
3. Grow a Beard.

Just lol.

The best looking bald guys were probably Michael Jordan or Pep Guardiola. Maybe Zidane too as well.

Bald zidane is ugly. But MJ really didnt look bad as bald. Black people are the only ones that can some how get away with being baldness, and the reason I think it is simply because you cant even notice the baldness because of the dark skin. But still, no matter what I think that hair can take up even black guys lots of point, just look at jason derulo, especially in swalla. This guy considered top tier and the hair is integral part.

Sure you're right. Granted, MJ was a 6'6" athletic beast which helps him pull off the look much better than that random rapper would.

Grow a beard to "make up" for your lost hair. Little do they know that those dead cells on their heads are priceless and irreplaceable. Cope

The advice is stupid I agree. Having a beard doesn't really do anything to how perceive you. You're still bald, but with a beard. I disagree however that it looks stupid and how it should not be encouraged. If you want to grow a beard you shouldn't let being bald stop you. It's all personal preference in the end and you can't really say "All bald guys with beards look stupid" because that's just short-sighted.

I don't understand the whole cope criticism. Yeah maybe the guy is coping with being bald by having a beard. What's wrong with that? He's not harming anyone and it makes him feel good. I guess it could be harmful in the sense that not everyone can grow beards and that maybe growing a beard won't help everyone.

TL;DR: Do whatever the f*** you want to feel good about yourself as long as it doesn't impede on anyone else's rights.

You know whats really sad? The fact that judging by your posts and post histories, most of you have 0 life experience and can't comprehend the meaning behind something like getting "jacked" or tanned or growing a beard when going bald. By most of your mentalities, if you don't "fight" it by taking gender changing drugs, your brains are telling you that something is wrong and that is only the cope of your brains trying to comprehend your sick deluded minds and actions, and that's really sad because it's a never ending cycle that does only harm, to you, your lives and so on... Get a f*****g life for f*** sake, but only after this pandemic goes away...

the "gender changing" drugs (most used do not change gender) are the only real way to "fight" this disease by stopping it from doing more damage. It is a disease. As you can tell, a lot of balding guys are being affected mentally. You're invested mentally in this disease, or else you wouldnt be here. The ones who do not seem to bother are the ones that do not realize how their body image's going to change dramatically, which is crucial in any social interaction.
Growing a beard, getting tanned or packing on muscle does not tackle the disease directly. All they do is "compensate" (not by much) the objective loss in physical looks done by balding.
This is not a cope. We're taking experimentally tested drugs to "fight" a disease, the same way people take tested drug X to fight disease Y.

Hope this gives you our perspective once and for all.

Tell that to the hundred of millions of people that are balding and bald ones who do great in life in every domain your could ever imagine, social interaction wise also. And imagine actually talking about social interactions when you never left the house lmao, this sh*t is so funny sometimes after i read your messages i burst in laughter and tears in the same time lmao... But good for the rest of people that we have "guys" like you to show us the way, the incel way lol

And keep projecting that if we are all expressing our opinions on a hair loss forum that we all share your shitty and deluded mentally ill lives, some of us, even if you chose to believe it or not, despite the hair loss that we share, some more and some less, but we have normal lives, with interactions, wives, kids, good jobs and so on.. So keep talking straight out of your asses and own experiences and continue to think that others are like this also.

Check the forum, 50 people max, same ones, every day, on every thread, every post, this is your "majority" and imagine what your opinions actually mean to the real world...

The only fact that you no life virgins take it over the edge into the extreme path just because your loosing your hair shows what you would do if something really bad would happen to you, like cancer for example, or let's see what your gonna do when your gonna get old and can't control it, half of you are gonna take your lives anyways so it's pointless to have these kind of conversations with you, most of you are mentally ill and nobody can change that....

Bald people are out there living normal lives. Yes, I did not say otherwise. What they dont know is that they could have had a better quality of life. Stating that being bald does not affect your life (whether you acknowledge it or not) is just coping. You can try and live with that (as most people do), or simply not even pay attention to it. But its still there. Many bald guys are friends of mine and I never noticed that I've never seen them without a hat until I started diving in this sh*t. Many of those "hundred millions" are f*****g hat PRISONERS. Once my friend told me that he only saw his friend ONCE without a hat, and he quickly put it on.

Reflects on your superior mentality and personality.

As I've already said, most people are not aware of the effects of balding on their life. The transition is so smooth most dont notice. And no, not noticing it does not make it any less worse.
People here on the forums are the ones that react the most, and will benefit the most in the long term (majority).

Anyways, no words will move you from your superior position in life. You wont understand because you dont want to.

Yeah "true", most people are not aware of the effects of balding in their life" lmao, what shitty deluded cope it's actually fantastic how you actually believe what you say lol. Imagine thinking that most people are actually dumb or can't comprehend if something is affecting them or not but as i said, luckily for them that they have "guys" like you that "open up their eyes" lol.

And keep coping that hundred of millions are hat prisoners, statement based on your experiences with other deluded morons just like you, 18 year old virgins with no life experience or whatsoever. Who tf knows what you are telling them anyways, imagine having a friend like you actually projecting your shitty opinions on them, poor guys lmao i don't even want to imagine being your friend and actually having these kind of conversations with you lol

Most people do not know that efficient treatments for hair loss exists. The common belief is that you cant treat hair loss. Would you then say they’re dumb for not knowing? The effects of being bald are not like headache or pain, it happens in a “smooth” manner. It is not something you feel in an instant you dumbfuck.

Also good job calling my friends morons which you do not even KNOW. You’re a piece a sh*t. Glad I dont have such people around me in my life. Poisonous piece of filth. Talks about life while having such a cancerous character. f*** your life.

Lmao, the little kid just had a mental breakdown over the internet lmao. Damn dude go seek some f*****g treatment, not hair loss is your problem, your mental illness is and always was. Your so dumb you can't even understand that everybody has access today to the internet and in the moment someone starts loosing his hair he actually can google 2 words and find out all the info all you so called basement scientists know and have.

Your not unique, your not some kind of different or special people that see things that others don't, it's only your mental illnesses that are making you think that, but in reality everybody is smarter than you, the 10 idiots who spam the hair loss forum every single day with the same sh*t over and over again after cutting their balls off and ingesting estrogen to grow some hair, because doh, hair is life and testosterone is poison lmao.

It's normal to call hair=life when you don't have a real one in the first place, you hang on to whatever makes you feel is keeping you from doing something but guess what, it's not the hair, and any experienced psychiatrist can tell you that, and i suggest you go visit one, you really need it.

Dude, you're literally throwing a hissy-fit because we said your bald head and your beard look stupid. If bald people live such great fulfilling lives, and people who (successfully) fight hair loss are all a bunch of losers, why are you here? Go out and slay with your bald head and long bushy beard, and your "jacked" drug-free physique (LOL).

First of all, i'm not bald incel and second of all, this is a hair loss forum, and that means that bald, not bald, loosing some hair and people that just want to inform themselves are welcome, not just the deluded incels like yourself and the ones that are cutting their balls off for it.

There are people in this world who are bald and successful and have fulfilling lives as there are people who have different types of hairloss and other conditions, there are people who commit suicide because of this or other things, there are idiots and narcissistic kids like yourself who think the world and life ends if you go bald, there are mentally ill people just like a lot from this site who transform into literally women and inject acid into their balls at home and i can keep it this way a long time.

So f*** off with your trying to induce your shitty US mentalities, your like broken records and 99% of you write the same sh*t on every forum, especially on the hair loss forums, you have the same f*****g lines, from the justin bieber one to the ashton kutcher and so on.

f*****g incels

TomRiddle what Norwood are you?

2.5 something like that, maybe 3 i keep it buzzed i don't really care that much anyways, it looks good and feels good, maybe if something new comes up and not such a hustle like all these shitty hormone altering drugs, maybe i'l try it but if not meh, i'm too well informed and i really don't see a viable option out there, everything has big downsides that are not worth it, at least from my perspective..
