Pathetic racism.

As with many others on this forum, my hair loss is crippling me. As a NW5 I just turned 31 last week, single, haven't gotten laid in over 3 years and have 0 interest in dating, despite feeling very lonely at times.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not depressed and I'm doing fairly well in the other departments, having lots of friends, tons of freedom (I'm self-employed and have a decent business going) and doing okay financially. Yet, despite having all those things, I can't get myself to date, because I just can't accept my looks.

I am diffusing really hard and have a big round balding spot with almost no hair, with a small tuft of hair on the front still standing strong. Like everyone else, I tried trimming it very short, but here is the issue: I HATE this look. I'm not a tough guy, I'm not a skinhead, and I don't have cancer. I understand that I'm stereotyping very hard here, but it's not just me, I literally had friends call me skinhead and it hurt.

I went to a hair clinic to look into hair transplants. Turns out I am not the best candidate, but it would be possible to get 2500 grafts, leaving another 2500 for a transplant 10 years down the line, which I would almost certainly need when hair loss continued on the sides. Just hearing these things made me worried, if a doctor already talks about a 2nd transplant and MHP, where is it gonna end?

What about a hair piece? At first, I was thinking never. No offense to people out there that have one, I actually came to realize that most of those are probably struggling with the idea as well, so they get my respect. I guess it just came from a childhood idea, where "wigs" were used to dress up and look like an idiot at carnivals. Or maybe it's because I'd feel less like a man, having to play dress up instead of owning my natural looks. And lastly, how would my friends react? They'd probably laugh their asses off, tell me I need to stop being a b**ch and man up. Everyone else that knows me in my town would instantly know I wore a wig as well. I'd be ridiculed everywhere.

That's how the idea slowly came about: why don't I just pack my suitcase, get a hair piece and go live somewhere else for a couple months, where nobody knows me, I can be a different person, and if something went wrong (people finding out or something) it wouldn't matter as I'd be gone in a few months anyway. I'd be able to find out how much it really affects me and how much my life is different. Maybe nothing changes, I'm still the same loser with (fake) hair and I come back even more depressed? (I know I said earlier I'm not depressed, I just don't like using the word depression lightly, as I think everyone has their demons and it's disrespectful towards people that really are rock bottom and see no way out. I do however think about my hair loss 200 times a day and it completely controls my life in a bad way). Or maybe life is awesome and I realize even more how much my hair loss fucked up everything?

What do you guys think? I'm sure some people out there must have thought about it or actually done it? Is it a stupid and immature idea?

The most ironic part about this is that I'm fantasizing about escaping my current life so i can "be myself" somewhere else, when in fact I'm doing the exact opposite, as I'd clearly "be someone else". Or maybe I just want to be the person I used to be? I have tons of other flaws that don't bother me a single bit, as I grew up with them and they make me who I am today. But this hair loss man, I just CANNOT seem to accept it :(.

Man just do it.

I like the idea to change place of living and became a completely new person for a month or so. You lose NOTHING.

After you could apply a hair transplant or whatever.

May as well just go for it. Sounds like there's little to lose given your situation. Better than wondering your whole life what it would have been like.

Great hair, no life, you can't have both with a hair piece.
It's a deal with the devil. I am currently on vacation and it's been hot, and it would have been so nice to dive into the water and get my hair wet. But no, I have to make sure it doesn't get wet. Also I have to wear a hat and stay in the shade to protect it from the sun. But at least I look good.

I am never in to celebrity chats.


But look at this examples,
there is not a single bald guy in this list.

And we are force fed Vin Diesel,Bruce Willis,Jason thing everytime in case of how to deal with baldness query.


I sometimes wonder do people unaffected with hairloss do even consider this trio as handsome.

For example,there was meme of fast and furious that mock telling fast driving can cause hairloss with laughing emoticon on that.

I actually believe there are only two ways a guy can live with a system
1. Be open about it.
2. The scenario you are thinking about, go somewhere, try your luck and come back before you get busted.

Hairpiece front keep uplifting, dirt accumulate on hairline and glue. Even with perfect colour matching, hairpiece sit on backhair like a foreign object and dont mix well.Thats y wearer usually trim there back and side hair.
These things can be solved in a picture but not in real life.
Hairline too is noticable even with best lace quality.
With strangers who have no idea, who are there with u for an hour or two , you might get away with it.
But if you are working in a company, you will be busted by coworkers within a month even if they had no idea about your baldness issues.

It's a deal with the devil.
The other day I was having this conversation with my friend. I talked about how I've had a drastical change in my view towards life after being red pilled, how 99% of factors determining your happiness and success depends on things you cannot control, how chasing future is a delusion with helplessness at its core, etc. It got to a point where I was expressing my idea of checking out of society and join a monastery.

He: why? you just want to hide?
Me: no because of the helplessness. I've been good at almost every game I played in life and when I find I can't win a game no matter what I just quit. But you cannot quit life. Blue pilled people can remain in the game as long as eventual failure is not a known fact. But for me it's like either suicide or checking out cuz I don't wanna be a loser on the playground.
He: why can't you be like Faust? If you want to play it like a game you gotta play by your own rules and f*** the rest

Now, my dear friend, I finally understand. Be like Faust and sign a deal with the RUG DEVIL!!!;)

It seems like people want to hear what they want to hear.

The other day, I had to sit through one of these stupid hair piece viral videos on Facebook with the girlfriend.

Her: "You see, it's also a solution!"

Me: "It's not a viable solution because [we've been over this many times on this forum]."

Her: "Where do you get all this?!"

Me: "From some crazy guy on the internet with a polar bear avatar."

Seriously though, I told her my father is like The Wig Baron with 35 years of active wearing. Great hair, no life, you can't have both with a hair piece.

Her: "But why doesn't he just stop wearing?!"

Me: "Because he's addicted to it"

I forgot to add: why is he addicted?

Because the hair piece allows him to showcase his true identity. Polar Bear's bald baldcel father does not exist.

Fullheads will never understand.
Most dont ever seem to understand this, exchanging one problem for another.


once you wear a piece there is no turning back. It becomes psychological warfare to maintain that image while sacrificing hobbies, interests, that lead to becoming a more private person.

Most of the anecdotes and discussion over the internet of the pros are all bullshit anyway. We tend to dismiss the millions of people who have tried and decided it wasnt for them. take a look at the prosthesis section and you will see no differently, many have tried and failed the process.

mentally straining and exhausting to say the least. Worrying about the next wig, bad cut ins, constant hair cuts to maintain a certain look.


Wearing hats every day because you cannot wear this unit under the sun or it will turn a different color. (dont listen to sheep who tell you otherwise)


my life was so much better when I got rid of it. Sure I didnt look as good, but at least I have a life. That wig forced me into a more private life, which led to living a situational life style. Never comfortable around women and avoiding the water and wild life. They say I could sweat all I want, swim and sky dive. More bullshit, that adhesive breaks down quick the more you sweat and expose your self to the heat. It gets to the point where it becomes mush and seeps through the lace, which causes more problems if you dont keep up with attachments. Could gently pull the soggy unit off, and hard press it back on.


Approach with a gain of salt, hair pieces are all smoke and mirrors. With immaculate care and maintenance it can look undetectable at sight. Physically, forget it. Can feel it as soon you as run your hands through the hairline.

Most people dont like to hear the truth, blinding themselves by periodic google searches to find something thats relevant to to there beliefs. But there is no denying the truth that less density is better then living under a private, situational life style. o

My hair transplant certainly has its drawbacks, but at least it allows me to live a better life.

Sure I'll never have the density and spectacularness of a hair piece, but it's good enough and that is what matters.

Always ask yourself: what is the alternative? What you described above. Not viable, lots of suffering, lots of deceit, lots of hiding.

With my second hair transplant in January, I'm going to make sure that I've used all the potential that's readily available to me with this solution.

Adding temple points, a thin crown and a reinforced frontal third. Which will allow me to grow my hair out a little more and to have additional framing.

The other alternative to that was doing nothing, like some unreasonable people advocate here, just remaining a NW6 at the age of 27, a shiny bald head, with no framing on top of my pale face and beta facial features.

What I often hear on this forum is "a hair transplant is not perfect! So it should be avoided!"

Nonsense. I'd say 80% of beating hair loss is keeping or getting your frame back with acceptable density. A bit like they say that 80% of success is just showing up, I really believe that.

If you can get those, you're out of the "bald loser" category (people might still see you as bald but it's just semantics at this point). That's where you need to get, because there's a world of difference between being a bald loser and a guy that seemingly shaves his head by choice.

And this goes both ways, you look into the mirror, and think "looking good!" (without lying to yourself, slybaldguys style) and people respond more positively to what they see.

If you look at how my life has improved since the end of 2014 (roughly 6 months after my first surgery) to today, it's almost unbelievable. My achievements, my psychological well-being, the quality of my relationships, etc.

Cliffs:

1. Don't be bald,

2. Don't wear a rug

3. Choose drugs and plugs

4. Profit

As someone with diffuse hair but not an awful hair line for a 30 year old, I often subscribe to this idea that "frame" is mainly what matters, as long as you aren't in the "bald guy" category. Of course if we could choose, the dominant aesthetic of a full head is so much better, but really the most important thing isn't being a "bald guy".

I often wonder if I'm just coping with this idea but no, I really don't think so.
