I remember when I turned 16, the legal age you can buy a lottery ticket here in the UK and having of these dreams and fantasies about how great life would be if I won. I now realise that I lost the only lottery that really matters. As much as I'd love to look like a Model, I'd be fine with my average looks and a full head, even if a cure comes along this pain will never go away. I was looking at Facebook the other day for the first time in months and you can see that youthful glow and sparkle in there eyes, an innocence I can't remember.

Don't be fooled. That innocence is blindness.

We know now. We know how the world works when looks are below average, and God knows what happens when looks get worse than this. If the Cure comes along and we get back what's ours, we will come out stronger, invincible: having seen the bottom, then rose again with a new perspective and a new, complete knowledge.

A fullhead average/above average man is completely oblivious about his condition of luck. Thus he's ignorant and he doesn't understand the importance of looks in our society. As a consequence, he's oblivious to the fact that he can do what we can't do. For example he can be an actor who doesn't play only villain/rapist/dumbhead roles.

If we get our hair back, we would come out with a deep knowledge of what looks can alone do. An oblivious fullhead may even get insecure in some looks-based situations. An ex-bald young man, knowing that hair, lean body and good clothes are all he needs, is invincible and more confident than the fullhead will ever be.

This is my theory as for now. Have hope.

This is no theory but the REALITY. Some of your posts are damn good. Only if i can get my hair back i can tell those moron fullheads what life is on the other side.

It's the only hope I have. Just hope it's not too late.

I maintain my position that many, perhaps even most frequent posters in these kinds of threads have absurd standards and their idea of average is more what, in the real world, would be considered below average. Significantly, in some cases.

Maybe expectations is a more accurate word than standards.

My favourite incident in this forum, was when I used Felicity Jones as a celebrity example of a person who is beautiful without "being perfect" like the stream of instagram models we see here. I've dated girls that look like her and see comparable women just crossing the street every day. The girl next door type.

I was met with accusations of being too harsh, using movie stars as a standard, people acting like she's this goddess etc.

Wait, what? These are the same people shitting on the average or above average people who AREN'T celebrities on the reg. The same folks I see in the next thread saying society is too judgemental and complaining about how they "just couldn't date someone they don't find attractive", and in another thread they're calling a modestly attractive person "subhuman"...

Great news. If you find Felicity Jones, Daisy Ridley, or Emilia Clarke attractive, you're in luck! You should have no trouble finding 20-30 year old women in your area aplenty of comparable looks or even better. f*** instagram and photoshopped Centerfolds. Have you ever been to college?

If women like the former category are out of your league, even when you had a full head of hair, I have bad news for you and maybe you should stop shitting on pics of real people online.

Genius post.

I wouldn't even bother telling them what it's like, They'd only tell you a load of sh*t that would piss you off. You could put forth a convincing talk to anyone that can relate but to a full head it would most likely come across as crazy talk. After all it's only hair...

oops i am not gonna say that baldness sucks but i am gonna describe how life turned out after this hairloss showed up. And if they are not convinced i know a better way to do it.
1. just grab a clipper and cut his/her hair in NW4 style pattern. OR
2. empty the bottle full of minoxidil, a week's shedding will drive those nuts into hell.

No offense but this is the best way to prove it. Nobody will ever understand our feelings if they haven't undergone the same situations that we have been through

to me I have not known people were rating numerically since i was a teenager hanging out on 86th in Bensohurt which was a meat market hangout to cruise men/women and i remember a bunch of guidos would hang out in lawn chairs and hold up numbers as women drove by.

Dude, we're practically paisan. ;) I grew up in Gravesend and Bensonhurt. There was nothing like it.

EDIT: And that young-ish Asian girl who rated herself a 9 is certainly not a 9, but she also definitely isn't a 4 like someone else said she is. She's about a 7 facially, but is well put together (read: applies makeup diligently) and looks like she has a slim, fit body, which will push you up by .5-1.0. So for an overall rating I'm going 7.5ish.

There wasn't even a single 6.5+/10 in that video.

Maybe a guy 22yo named Chad in the beginning of the video is 7/10 with proper haircut and hygiene that's all.

This looks like it was recorded to tape judging by the sound hiss, probably late 90's and early 2000. It would be interesting to compare to today after social media.

You are an idiot. Emilia Clarke and Felicity Jones are average? You can be guaranteed that they were some of the best looking women in their university or any company they worked in because they are hollywood moviestars. Average looking people don't get to be hollywood leads.

You are holding up hollywood movie stars as average. Idiot. Stupid comments in this thread.

@That Guy didn't use the word "average".

lol, the girl at 3 minutes mark rated herself as 9. She is barely a 4. Delusional.

You're talking about the Asian woman, correct? (the one at the 3 minute mark).

She is good looking.

Why do you think she's a four?

yeah, but it's interpreted differently for musicians. If someone saw a hipster kid walking down the street with a turban they would probably beat his ***. Same should go for white dudes with dread locks that aren't truly Rastafarian.

That's so true.

Attended a 911 town meeting, in the U.S. (in a public park). It was the ten year anniversary.

Muslims for peace came out there to give out cards, and to say they are against ISIS and
the violence they stand for.

Many people gave them angry looks. Nobody put out their hand for a card (except me, and a few
other people).

Despite having a bi racial past President, to say racism doesn't exist, and there's no racial tension
is bullshit.

I just don't find her that attractive. 9 for me is Alexandra Daddario and other gorgeous models and celebrities.She is nowhere close to that level of beauty.

I think most people on here would consider that asian girl on video to be a 5 or 6.

i would say if she has a decent body 98% of the men on this site would be happy to hit that and date her.
