holy **** that was pretty ****in awesome man

crazy coincidence because the song is one of my holy favorite songs ever that i listen to in the dead of night fantasizing about crazy shiz lol. it's one of my favorite bands too. that is "elegia" by new order. the original is 17 minutes long and was dedicated to the old lead singer they had who killed himself (ian curtis)

it definitely matches with the video too, everyone is all dead inside looking for some bull**** stuff that will bring them "happiness"

yea sorry but if you could i'd like this video taken down tho. thats my song and i dont want it poisoned by hair loss talk or the guys here haha

lol i agree. 15/10 song. i always imagine the way i felt when i first saw my balding head when i hear it. It really fits any situation like that, i.e. of trying to come to terms with something horrible and traumatic. it makes sense since they made the song for their old lead singer. i bet they were just sitting in their rooms, drowning in the fact of their best friend dying (or at least very very good friend)

if you like that song you might also like "to live is to die" by metallica. it has the similar theme of being dedicated to a dead band member, and also epic but sad guitars. they are both also long songs. i guess lamenting would be a good way to describe both songs

A woman in my line the other day was going on about how happiness is a choice... choose happiness she kept saying. I told her everyone wants to be happy, but its not like flipping a switch. You cant decide to be happy just like you cant decide to fall in love. This woman was trying to force happiness on me, calling me a grump and why arent you smiling, smile. I asked her about people with severe depression due to a chemical imbalance and how thats involuntary. She told me then you decide to take the medication for depression to achieve happiness. I told her that prolonged use of anti depressants can chemically rob you of the ability to experience true happiness... that it neutralizes your emotions which goes against her whole point.

Anti depressants are B.S. in my opinion, people cant just take a pill and be happy, or everyone would be on them. Imagine a world of happiness with no discrimination against bald people or people in general,seems like a nice thought, but most people are in highschool or workplace mode,they all have their social groups and exclude everyone who isn't like them or conforms to their standards as a group.
Even though I have a mental illness and a bald head I'm in a good mood 99% of the time,so what does that say about the quote on quote "normal" people of society, if I'm insane, than just about everybody is. Just some food for thought.

Don't encourage him, he is already prone to violence upon reading many of his posts. He is one angry baldie.

Lol. On the sly bald forum they mentioned being bald makes you badass and no one messes with you.

If you have swingline's body, maybe. If you have you have my body... Well, no, not at all.

About that woman uncomfortable man, you should always keep an electric razor on your. Whip it out, shave a part of her hair in the middle.

Let her scream, burst in tears and curse at your. Then tell her: "come on, be happy now! It's a choice right? Come on, make the choice to be happy!"

These morons have no clue.

You're right. Maybe they have no clue, but, at the same time,very negative people like we have on this forum also have no clue how to be more positive.
They CAN'T. And they are not to blame, this is their psychological structure. But they are wrong in thinking that everyone must be like them, and everyone is like them.
I see here some kind of "sadic" "satisfaction" to self-hating and negative suggestioning.
Do they see a more positive opinion? Their reaction: naah, it can't be true, let's insult the poster, give negative rep, how dares he try to get out from the misery i'm stuck in??

Oh, and don't bother, i know your next reply, about NW2.5, etc. Yes, maybe i am NOT in position to speak about how cool is to accept your NW4,5,6 or 7, but, definitely, those people EXIST.

And no, i don't support the part with shaving the head of that woman in the middle. It's forced. Women don't bald 1/10 as extensively as men, there is hardly any woman with a big bald spot in the center of her head.
So, again, wrong idea to bring men and women on the same level.
Women is called "the beautiful sex". Why is that?(i know, i know, you'll come now and say that, in animals, the male looks the best, etc). They aren't supposed to bald as men do. Men are balding from ancient times and most of them get over it, soon or later.
Wtf? Many figures in history(scientists, kings, writers) were bald as fvck, yet the history retains what they did, and doesn't emphasize the lack of hair on their head.
The importance of hair is critical in today's society and culture, mostly a superficial one, where you aren't defined for your personality, for what you're capable of, for what's INSIDE your head, but only by the exterior looks, by what you have ON your head. But in the end everybody ages, gets ugly and dies, and what's left? What you did in your life, now how you looked.

I think it does make most people intimidating/aware of you even without a massive body. Any 20-50 year old with a shaved head, white and at least average height/build will look unapproachable especially if dressed casually. If dressed smartly or funky glasses, they will show they are more "harmless." You might be skinny but you're very tall, now that with your previous bald head and being white, does look like those dangerous skin heads especially if you are dressed casually. Even buzzed look can create this intimidating presence. But it's not in the same way as a attractive alpha would look.

Doesn't mean people are scared as such just more aware. I know someone in his 40's, skinny build, barely average height, shaved head with a tattoo and he looks rough. Now I am not scared of him obviously and he is a nice guy anyway but has that rough look. Looks very "street."

On that forum they need to realise you either look like a rough guy bald or generally just not very good. Very few look attractive and most lose points. Some look comical. Everyone is different.

Yesterday I spent some time on that sly forum and on the "help" forum. Made me realise how much of a logical forum this is and offers genuine help. Yes, we get trolls now and then but the community here is firmly grounded in reality.

One guy on the sly bald guys forum said thank god he didn't take Propecia, that it damages almost everyone, he had so many posts so he was a "respected member." They all listed positives of being bald and negatives:

Positives: No shampoo, no greys can be seen, no one messes with you, that it made them look younger, their facial hair stands out

Negatives: Having to keep it shaved daily which causes irritation, can get cold. That's it!

Seriously high level of delusion. One person on there was Norwood 2-2.5 and taking Propecia, they really laid into this young guy. He said something smart though, you guys spend more time cutting your hair now that you have no hair. That you are addicted to the razor so how is that different from treating your hair? They overcompensate immensely on that forum.

Grounded in negativity, most of it. And serious neativity, gone to pathologic.
This is their reality, more than a true reality.
Delusion? How do you call a guy who says that his life is "on halt mode" because of hairloss and he waits, waits and waits for a cure? Wtf, our life is finite...

I am talking as a whole. You shouldn't put your life on hold ever for anything, I always attack the people who do. What I mean is the importance of fighting hair loss and how we look better with it: these are truths that this forum repeats time and again. I do agree, that acceptance is key if you can't salvage your hair. There are members like that on here too, who despite their loss are accepting it but still looking for some coverage. I admire that. I would be like this. I would always want hair but would accept my poorer position and be the best I can be.

This is reality. Sly forums is deluded, have a look yourself. It's not healthy either.

You are right, but simply ranting all day and tormenting about your hair loss, like here, does no good, imo.
Better be positively-deluded like those on SlyBald(yes, i've looked in there), than be negatively-deluded like some seem to be here. Calling yourself a freak, etc.
Yes, reality is that a bald dude isn't that attractive, but reading here, all bald men are monsters, frankensteins, people cross the street to not walk by them, etc. It's the opposite delusion.
And i've seen forums where people laugh about HairLossTalk.com, they laugh about the dudes here taking finasteride, minoxidil, having hair transplant's, SMP's, etc.

This is not delusion since it actually happened to me when I first started shaving my head down to a 0.

They can laugh all they want but at least we're grounded in reality as Wolf Pack said.

I agree that positive delusion is more positive than rational negativity. But how do you turn a blind eye on what it is real?

It's nearly impossible to do unless you take substances. I was delusional at a point, and I mean truly delusional.

It happened because I took antidepressants while not being depressed. It made me uninhibited.

I thought I was awesome, that I could get any girl, that it was no big deal that I had a thin mess for hair.

This delusion is scary even to myself now, and my family and friends were very worried about it.

Sure it got me some tail, as we know that women are very attracted to what they think is confidence in a man.

Women don't seem to be able to tell if your confidence is grounded in reality or delusional.

But besides that, I wouldn't like to be in that state again. So be delusional if you're able to do that.

No, I wouldn't be able to wake up to morrow, go all "slybaldguys" and shave my head to the bone, then hit the bar scene convinced that I will clean up.

This won't happen. I know baldness doesn't look good at all, especially because I'm pale and thin.

So to me, the slybaldguy mentality = mental illness. How can you even tell yourself that women of your age give you the time of the day if you show up with a NW5 at the age of 23?

I'm intrigued by your experience with anti-depressants. So you think they helped inasmuch as you became happy? Also what anti-depressant did you take please?

I'd agree that slybald guys are completely deluded but I kinda envy and admire them. In their ignorance it doesn't seem to affect their functioning, they get on with little regrets.

Or, is that just what they say to keep up the lie?
