Man some of you guys need a wake up call.

[HeartBreakKid]

Ok I'm doing this cause some of you guys are way too depressed about being bald. Listen and listen carefully as I am going to enlighten you before you waste your life away. If you don't choose to listen then you have chosen to die before your time. Bald guys can score just as much as guys with hair. God man. It's the truth. You may find it a little bit harder to succeed with women because you may not be prime cut, or a hollywood pretty boy. Use that to your advantage fellas. You are real. Move on with other things in your life and don't just concentrate on your looks. Looks fade. You guys may be thinking Im just another motivational speaker talkin about bullshit trying to cheer you up. I'm not. Im just telling you the truth. Im in highschool with a chrome dome. I get some cheap shots about my bald head but I dont let it bring me down. I mean they do piss me off but I know that I can't control that sh*t. If I could control that, when would it end. I would want to be 6'2, 210, built like a rock with movie star looks. I'm not. I am 5'4, 145, average. And the best thing I do that attracts women, do you really want to know. You all know it already but you don't believe it. I choose not to care about my baldness. Sure inside my house I may look in the mirror and be like f*** but once I'm outside my house, I let no one and I mean no one know that I care about being bald. They can make fun of my baldness and I will just defend myself with a simple "f*** you" or "suck my dick." Just laugh it off. Im a badass forever. Period. I could be in a wheel chair with my arms cut off and I would still come after you baby. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Waste of time. One night stands are for good looking men bald or not. Dont expect to score on a first date unless you know your hollywood pretty boy. There thats about it. You can choose to live your life as a bald depressed person. Or you can choose to live your life as a badass motherfucker that you know you are, take no sh*t from anyone for any reason and look back at your life and laugh knowing that you have broken many womens hearts by not even meeting any of their "requirement" for a full head of hair. "Don't give a f***" is way more intense than a full head of hair.

What a relief you're not another Bob Booley! I agree with you. Anybody who've thought about not going to a wedding or funeral due to fear of what others would think about his hairloss should tape the above post to his mirror.

Nice post and a bit humurous. However, why do all relationships have to be one-night stands? Maybe I'm just a wuss..... :freaked2:

that's some great advice, at 17 you already have your head screwed on straight--awesome :rockon:

I've been losing my hair since 17 (i'm 19 now) and it has seriously damaged my self-image and esteem. I can't help equating a full head of hair with youth, and since I'm still young, I don't want to just let my hair fall out while there are things I can do to maintain it.

I definitely agree that it is IMPERATIVE that all of us accept the worst in this situation--we really have to get to a state where we don't give a rat's behind that we are losing our hair. I know it sounds ironic and hypocritical to say that on a hair loss forum--but it's the ONLY way to deal with such a worrying, stress-inducing scenario like hair loss or else we risk panic and desperation. Two things we don't need. I'm still struggling with this though... and it's weird while i'm in the middle of trying to keep/regrow my hair.

I just figure what the hell, i'm losing my hair, it's a natural thing but why NOT do what I can to look my best? Even if it doesn't work, I have the peace of mind to know that I'm doing/did all I can, it's a win-win. I mean even though you are saying you 'don't give a f***', you ARE here, so it MUST concern you SOMEWHAT. That's exactly why the rest of us are here, too.

Keep on keepin it real dude, I respect your attitude.

nice post kid. having girls is MY ONLY CONCERN IN LIFE. honest. but as I have less hair sometimes I get worried. I think i'll shave my hair when baldness is too high. I just would like to look the best that I could in every situation. In other hand, i'm still fighting. I'm 27 and should be bald at 23 or 24. I'm still not and it makes me feel stronger. Some guy wrote in this forum that male pattern baldness is inevitable and that we should get it real. but, a 3 or 4 years delay is a great victory for a man who is fighting nature. And when it realy comes (at 30 for me hopefully) I'll say " I won a battle" . And who knows, maybie science has a surprise for us in this next few years.
Keep fighting and show the others that you can get girls even if you don't have hair. I hope i can do that when it cames my turn

I've been with my girl 4 years, since we were 19. That was right around the time when I started losing. She still says I look sexy to this day. Did I just start using treatments anyway? Yes. It's not about getting women or looking like a moviestar -- It's about feeling good about the way you look. When I look back at pictures of me as an 18 or 19 year old, I love the way my hair looks. That's all that fuels me.

Don't try to grow back your hair to get the ladies. If a girl cares THAT much about your looks, then maybe you should look elsewhere.

 

[HeartBreakKid]

Thanks for the replies folks. Just had to help some people out there. And to the one poster who says he needs his hair to feel good about himself I say this. Why? Cause it makes you feel good knowing that your prime cut real estate. Com on man. Why be so vain. If you were intended to have hair you would have not gone bald. Not to insult you man but this is really natural and if you need hair to feel good about your self you need to accept it as not being part of your life anymore and move on.Unless you want to blow big bucks on it. I would rather blow it on somethin else. Nice car, a boat, guns, whatever you like. There are tons of guys with full heads of hair who don't even know how to score or even feel good about themselves. Don't become a real "loser."

 

[TEST SUBJECT#1]

Hope what you got to say is helping, YOU. Personally, I want to keep my hair and I'll take whatever you have left, if you really dont care for it.

best of luck

Good words Luther - tape these to the fridge. Youve captured the general feeling for the overwhelming majority of the people here. Problem is, it takes some a long time to come to realize it.

HeartBreakKid: Great attitude. Keep it. Allow it to grow and expand into all areas of your life (as I'm sure you have) and you will continue to be successful in all walks of life.

Message to keep - self confidence is more than just hair. It is the sum of all our characteristics - personality, wisdom, humor, intelligence, etc. Allow the fight to fuel your confidence.

HeartBreakKid...YOUR THE MAN....I wish I had your confidence...

Good words HeartBreakKid, theres a lot of truth in what you say! :rockon:

I've never had a problem with chicks.

My choice to fight male pattern baldness is purely egotistical.

 

[mariejoe]

Axon, it's good to see a person with good self-esteem. You won't be anyone's doormat!! :rockon:

HeartBreakKid, keep up the good work. You are wise beyond your years!!!

I've more than my share of self-esteem. Won't see me whining about how I was crying in front of the mirror as I actually watched myself go from a Norwood 0 to a Norwood 6 diffuse in a matter of minutes all due to FINASTERIDE. THOSE BASTARDS AT MERCK DID THIS TO ME SUE SURE I SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY OWN ACTIONS BUT THIS IS AMERICA SUE SUE SUE

 

[HeartBreakKid]

Yeah I've never had a problem with getting chicks either. I really believe american women dont know how to say no. As for my ego, never really had one cause I know I'm better than everyone else.

 

[Trilidon]

I still have most of my hair and girls say no ;P haha.

I need to workout more =)

I hear you. It pisses me off when you take a drug, and your hair falls out from it. Like mine did from hormone replacement therapy! Esp. when they say hair loss isn't supposed to be a side effect.

However, life goes on. What the hell, I'm still the same wonderful person I always was. :love:
:laugh:

 

[mariejoe]

We do say no from time to time.

 

[Warren Buffett]

My two cents.

You'd be amazed at how much a good haircut will elevate your confidence and mood. So find a good stylist and pay a little extra. Its worth it.

Speaking from personal experience. I find hairlines to be much like someone with bad skin. it may be something you notice about them but after about 2 mintues of talking to them you completely forget about the fact that they ahve bad skin or are going bald. At least that's my personal experience
