Is Hair More Important Than Ever In 2017?

[Baldingat188]

I'm 23. While I'm average facially I haven't got any masculine features besides my just-about-dense-enough beard, I've a huge head and round features. I've always had a massive forehead, tiny ears, pale skin, baby face. Forget cancer patient, I will look like some dna project gone wrong if I ever have to shave completely. My closest friend admitted to me that I look terrible bald. The only girl who I told about my balding said "I'm glad you're treating it". Since minoxidil has started working it's magic, and I've actually started getting good haircuts instead of 4 euro buzz cuts, I've noticed a huge improvement in my appearance.

I will save up for a transplant if it comes to that though.

That's good for you though. I bet there are many guys on here who believe that their baldness makes them uglier than it really does.

You sound like you might look similar to me. Decent with hair , creepy/ weird without it

What Norwood are you?

Yeah all my life I've looked better wearing a hat. My forehead is just so big, and sort of wider than my face.

Before I grew out my beard I would get ID'd just buying beer in the supermarket. I remember a friend of the family who hadn't seen us in years asked me "so what year are you in now?", I had finished 3 years of college at 21, she taught I was like 14 or something.

I respect some of you more masculine guys resilience but some of us have more in common facially with a Bieber/ Macaulay culkin... So hearing from you Bill Goldberg looking muthaphuckas that a Freddie ljungberg looking dude or a suave french bearded hipster abstract artist can still get chicks doesn't change much for us.

Haha fair enough.

But I was saying that there are a fair few below average men with average looking women so I think there is still some cause for optimism

 

[tellersquill]

But you spend hours on this forum everyday, why would you do that unless you were obsessed with baldness? If it's only a minor thing that has no real effect on your life then why are you here all day?

And the second question is this,you know some people have their looks completely ruined by baldness like Prince William, so why are you acting as if baldness suits everyone and doesn't ruin lives?

Like I said before - hair loss bothers me.

I like to look good and I don't want to look less than good. Its really that simple.

Pretty sure most people are in here for a similar reason - they don't like hair loss.

Its not being someone you are not - it is a part of you because you did it.

Let me tell you - extroverts who you see around also aren't like that all the time. They chill, watch films, sleep etc.

Plus, I don't think you need to be extroverted all the time. But at least once a week you should go out and have a blast and make new friends etc.

not sure if srs

extraverts go to sleep and watch films? i thought they were just 24 hours a day bouncing from party to party, chatting to everyone

why would an introvert need to go out once a week "have a blast and make new friends"? that is precisely what introverts do NOT want to do, forced social interaction is likely to do more damage than good

usually we go out somewhere by our intentions but want to go back to home after 15 minutes

Balding does matter to me, but I hate when people make out that they cant get laid because of their hair. So I end up debating with them on here.

Balding matters to me because I take pride in my appearance and I want to look good. Even though I can still get laid without hair it doesn't mean that I want to be bald.

here we go again

we have seen your pics, you lost like 1 point shaving your NW3.

how is that the same as FootyStar going from fullhead to alopecia universalis in the space of a year. or Fred going NW5 by age 20. or Dante who has never been good looking to begin with, has never experienced being desirable or popular, now losing his hair on top of his existing aesthetic problems.

it's all relative to one's own experience, it's patronizing, short-sighted and shows a lack of empathy when you talk like this

Nah, I do have empathy.

Honestly, however low many of you have been then I have been there to (perhaps for different reasons). I've been suicidal before and I will likely be suicidal again. In a way this gives me a lot of sympathy for people who are suffering and who are miserable.

Sometimes my posts can be misconstrued and if you really think about what the meaning behind my messages then you will find what I'm really saying is that you do not have to lose all hope if you do lose your hair - there is still life to be had, fun times, and adventure.

I'm just trying to show people that they still have a future.

Rule #1 to dating as a bald man. if her dad is bald, hair will not be the deal breaker.

Interesting theory

It might still be a deal breaker. But it's true that those girls are more undestandable.

 

[That Guy]

Hey, I haven't used this one in a while

It's infinitely wiser to base your expectations on the rule itself rather than exceptions to it.

The rule, as any sane man is capable of realizing, is that baldness is a dealbreaker for the vast majority of women

#2 If she has a bald(ing) brother its a deal breaker.

There's a ton of single men that aren't bald and would be happy to be with just about anyone, even if you're competing for the scraps you have to put up a fight.

I think you should leave this forum. Seriously. All you do on here is humblebrag and belittle other's legitimate (unlike your's) suffering.

When will you get it into your thick skull? Your experiences don't mean sh*t.

You're an NW2 age 30 who apparently fucks over 30 different girls a year - what makes you think you can speak on behalf of people like Dante, ugly NW4 virgins who have never so much as hugged a woman in their lives? Or myself (another NW4 incel - my pic's on my profile for reference), or Exodus, or DBW and others?

You can't. You've nothing to offer these people, no experience, no ancient wisdom, no nothing. You're a conceited, manipulative braggart who only posts on this forum for an ego boost.

You're also delusional. I've read your posts buddy and I can tell you, with 100% certainty, that if your grammar, writing style/general literary calibre is anything like the sh*t you're churning out on hairlosstalk, you will never, and I mean NEVER, produce a publishable novel. Not in a million f*****g years.

You make me f*****g sick. Leave this forum and never come back.

I'm afraid to tell you I've already had stories published.

Just to clarify - I do not sleep with 30 people a year (that number was for I've slept with since the age of 19).

Also, I will say time and time again - I do offer my deepest sympathies for people who have worse hair loss than me at an even younger age. Hair loss bothers me and I am sure it bothers these guys to an even greater degree. I really do feel bad for all people who are going through hair loss.

As for you - you are new here and I don't really have any opinions about you either good or bad.

 

[tellersquill]

P.s. Many people claim to have been suicidal. 99% of the population have had fleeting thoughts of ending it all at some point. It means nothing.

If you've been in an ER ward after leaping off of a 3000ft tall building, you've been suicidal. Anything less than that means jack squat I'm afraid. Just more empty words from hairlosstalk's biggest sh*t peddler Tellersquill.

Most people have had thoughts of suicide before.

In a way it is good because it teaches compassion (if we are to take a lesson from Buddhist thought)

 

[tellersquill]

I'll bite. What stories? Where? I'm happy to eat humble pie if it's true (and I'm also genuinely interested in reading them). But as many on here know, people make up all sorts of BS on the internet.

I've worked as a reporter for my local paper (it's not a national paper but I'm still quite proud of it).

The other work released is a fairy tale written for children about a young boy who falls in love with a beautiful girl, but on the day that he proposes to her she is kidnapped by a terrible ogre. What follows his a madcap adventure to win the girl of his dreams back.

I know it isn't much for a 30 year old but you have to remember I left school without any qualifications and I am also mildly dyslexic. I know that is a bit of an excuse and I am hoping to do more over the next few years, but we can only wait and see what the future holds.

(sorry for disliking all your posts - I was being childish)

 

[tellersquill]

No need to apologise - they weren't exactly the nicest of posts and I would have done the same in your position.

I apologise for being so harsh on you (and well done on the position with the local/regional paper - sincerely). I had no right to strike out at your dreams like that and hope the writing stuff works out for you.

As I've said, the reason I reacted so violently is because I find a lot of the stuff you post to be frustrating and at best, naïve, at worst, actually quite cruel. But let's agree to disagree.

As I've said, I'm sorry for saying what I said about your writing. It was a low blow and I'm not proud of making it. Best of luck going forward.

Thank you.

This problem came up a few months ago when Fred and myself were talking about our sexual experiences and people thought we were boasting where in reality we were both chatting about our own experiences. I think Fred received less of an attack because he used to be a more advanced Norwood before his transplant (now his hairline is better than mine!).

The problem is that when I offer my condolences to people about their struggles I get told I am patronising and when I try and tell people to be positive I get called blue pilled.

As for spending less time on here in the future: I'm finishing my masters over the next four months so I think you will see me a lot less in times to come.

If you've been in an ER ward after leaping off of a 3000ft tall building, you've been suicidal.

if you've jumped off a 3000ft tall building and survived, you've also been dreaming
