Is Looking "badass" The Only Option You Have?

[countjulian]

Still looks good in either. But wow he looks like a NW3 in the first one.

 

[countjulian]

I do think there's a noticeable difference between a NW2 and a NW3 that most people will notice but not consciously register, a NW1 doesn't give a huge advantage vis-a-vis a NW2 in my book though.

Sorry I'm confused, are we talking about 3 different pictures?

When I said 3 I meant NW3. I'll edit to make that clear.

Ah right.

f***, to be a balding/receding guy on a red carpet. Lord save him.

Dude like I said at his level only aspies like us notice. If he can keep it there he will be fine.

I would gladly go NW7 if it means being 6'1 with a proportional build.

Not sure if seriously since I'm already there. Diet, weight and anything within my control, have always been relatively easy for me to attain.
If Saitama was real, that is who I'll resemble even though I know the author meant for him to be joke character

So it's not that people here want to avoid being a cliche by being judged as a Bald Guy, they just want to fit a different cliche, the Big Bald Badass Guy. I thought people here were angry at being perceived as someone other than who they really were.

I'm 5'11, but height and frame are vastly more important than hair.

When I say 6'1, I don't mean a lanky 6'1, I mean a proportional 6'1.

I'm looking forward to having a drink with you in February.

It's also important to be attractive to woman.

If you don't want to be the big badass, then don't spend six hours a week lifting consistently for two years.

Are you an incel /virgin?

Ofc we hate the identity part too but being hot is just as important

Well that's quite compliment, he's good looking, in spite of his NW2.

NW2 can be an issue if the guy with it has an awkward forehead, exo.

I'm norwood 1.5ish post transplant and still definitely need to bring it back to a full norwood 1. Starting off with a large forehead ruins things.

Problems with pre-NW4 hair are mostly at the margins. You may lose access to very valuable social goods (8+ females, elite social circles, positions with high demands on your image, et.c.) but in general you will 1) not be perceived as bald, 2) be able to attract decent women looks-wise, 3) not face much discrimination in social or professional life purely because of your hair.

Post-NW4 and pre-NW4 represents a massive difference in quality of life. Here, I made a chart:

That chart is a brilliant idea.

Very accurate chart honestly. The difference between norwood 5-6-7 is smaller than that in regards to aesthetics in my opinion however, but a norwood 5 likely has the simple option of getting back a full head of hair through transplants.

Agreed - although there are anomalies who aren't too impacted by advanced balding

My teenage Norwood was my best feature. I'm fairly average looking but could get by well into upper range with perfect NW1. I will get it back along with more density with my second transplant.
