Peoples Shame Of Discussing Baldness

[EvilLocks]

I just saw his username was "fullhead1day". Sorry. Anyway, if we can't talk about hair loss on a hair loss forum what are we supposed to do? Keep it all bottled up inside?

I think it's pretty gay for any guy to openly talk about anything cosmetic-related. I don't hear any dudes talking about making their hair better, skin clearer, etc. Balding is something that you should always keep to yourself unless someone else is also trying to cure his baldness.

That's your opinion. Not everyone thinks it is gay to talk about hair loss to your friends/family. I could care less if someone thinks that it is. Are you from the US by the way? Many guys here are obsessed with trying to prove how masculine they are. It's as if they have deep insecurities about their own masculinity and they constantly try to put down other guys to show off their own manliness in a desperate hope that some female will notice how masculine they are and give them a chance. I find it pathetic honestly.

w/e, its not easy being green. Add nw5 on top of that and life becomes intolerable.

This guy is so funny So many humor haha

A big plus point!

come on guy don't be so depressive and sad Yes we all have a f*****g problem with our head.
But nobody is without problems in his life even a "good " looking person.

You can fix your problem if not now then later make a hair transplanat!

I showed you in a other thread amazing results of Hair transplant even with Norwood 4 or 5.

"Funny". That's not a meme, that's a picture of myself.... Thank you.

yeah....of course.....

 

[uncomfortable man]

if it were that easy buddy then everybody would be doing it and you wouldnt see any bald men anymore. why is that not the case? maybe because unless you have unusually dense donor hair you would be spending tens of thousands of dollars to have a thin veil of hair covering your head. thats not a solution, friendo.

 

[uncomfortable man]

even a handsome face is ruined by an nw5. Until there is a real marketed cure, there wont be any other (acceptable) way around it.

"Balding is something that you should always keep to yourself unless someone else is also trying to cure his baldness."
And you know what I meant. I'm talking about your friends, family, colleague, whoever you talk to. You make yourself vulnerable if you openly talk about your hairloss. It's that simple.

Easily the most interesting character in comic book movies/TV right now.

Ahh.. Yes, this I agree with. Though it should also be pretty gay for other men to openly mock those who aren't blessed with good looks.
I've never understood the fascination some dudes have with finding faults in another man's facial aesthetics.
Because that's gay!

And this is no further then the truth. Doesn't matter how good looking you are, and how dark your skin is to offset the horse shoe and hair appearance. Unless you wear a ball cap everywhere to provide a makeshift hairline then it will never look good.

Almost every guy I seen who is passed a NW3 automatically became average if not lower because of hair loss.

Its so messed up how important hair is. I see guys at my work that look retarded when there hair is covered in a hard hat or cap and then as soon as they take it off there hair halos their face tenfold. Its ridiclious how much hair impacts your attractiveness

If hairloss ruins your looks, you were never handsome to begin with, your looks were all hair. There is countless examples of handsome men with hairloss. I agree though 90% of men aren't really handsome and rely on their hair so a NW5 means game over for their looks. If you disagree then you are probably in the 90% and living in denial.

your looks were all hair

Where do I sign to have an all hair look? :-(

Fact is that the most men in the world don't have a handsome face..same to women.

Most people are just average .The men and woman from hollywood movies or commercials on tv are the other 10% of the "beautys"
90% are just normal looking people.

@Dante92

You told us you are small. What's the problem i was in italy the most people there are really small haha

I think he's referring to men like Andrew Garfield rather than Ben Affleck.

Garfield would likely be devastated by baldness:

In contrast, Ben Affleck would look nearly as well:

ETA: Regardless though, dismising Garfield's looks as "all-hair" is moot: He looks good enough to have a decent Hollywood career and to date Emma Stone.

 

[Roberto_72]

Why is N003 stalking you?

 

[shookwun]

Afflek would pull it off better.

Garfield would look like a cancer patient twink.

If embracing/owning one's own failing hair state falls under the umbrella of acceptance,
then you can count me out (in the rain).
Inversely if denial's meaning includes, but is not absolutely limited to a disdain for my wasting hair,
then I must be drowning waste deep in it.

Emotional/mental balance is critical for our survival at the most basic level.

It is a rare act to witness even one handsome bald(ing) man out of 100 who has remained neutral about his male pattern baldness 100% of the time. Handsome or not , anyone who alleges they've never experienced disdain for their hair loss is either lying to you or trying to sell you something. A moment is a moment until it passes.
We can all try to reshape our reality into how we wish to see it. How about the rare birds that appear to have "thicker skin" and who seem to effortlessly flutter through the fires of personal
experience internally unfazed or untouched and then we know/hear about the rumors of a rarer beast who unequivocally asserts he wouldn't change a thing if they had to do it again. I am not one of these men.

If I told you that my hair loss meant little to me; that is, never caused me any adverse emo/psycho side effects, you could show me proof I'm a liar and I'ld have to eat my own words because I have ALREADY put myself out there.
Better wear a mouth guard before you publicly open up your mouth about anything that hurts you. Better yet (sadly)
you might fare better if you simply shut up.

Just a couple question(s) for ALL
Androgenetic Alopecia guys (maladjusted/adjusted) to chew on in your hair time:
Were you to tell a handsome, bald stranger (avoiding sarcasm), " Hey I like your hair style!" what do you suppose his response would be? Or what if he exercises his right to ignore you
Do you believe he would silently pass on by without a smile on his face or an extra spring in his step? How many believe
that he would politely thank you?

If our hair loss reality/experience is one steeped in embitterment,
and we are told that self acceptance is our only way out;
How does a person proactively bridge the gap between denial and acceptance and leave honesty out?

Now when we instruct a dog to roll over and it obeys, then we say, "good dog"! and King might even get a treat.
When we tell a bald man "to roll with it" aren't we to some estimable degree, coaching them
that self acceptance is fundamentally more about self deceit and voluntarily induced delusion
and less than about honest actual self improvement and personal change?
Is true progress for the individual really about implementing another trick in exchange for fairer treatment?

Wow!! That was a great post, I.D. Especially at the end there.
