Perception of bald people

[bornwithacurse224]

Whenever I watch movies I notice the loser of the movie is either bald or heavily balding and using a horrible cover up. The lead character of the movie usually has a full hairline or at least a receded hairline at an older age. Now that I've been in my 20's for a few years, I'm seeing that all those perceptions are actually real. I was looking back at people I knew from high school that were popular, outgoing, lucky, and successful and they all kept their hair. I see a couple people who always had a hard time and are looking like they are destined for ****ty mundane jobs and being angry forever and I see they have already receded too. The 3 men my age or older in my family have all their hair and all they ever did was have fun and managed t coast through life. Now they are winning in every way possible, because their school life was better than mine, they don't look like they are going to bald any time soon, and they are probably going to better jobs that are easy to do and pay more. I even see it in the kids 4-5 years younger than me the outgoing lucky ones are keeping their hair with not even one sign of recession. This sucks.

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. I get how some people are treated by society, and that is effed up and all, but reading some of the stuff on here really doesn't help how we are perceived. I can't count the amount of times that I have read how ugly bald guys are and how they look like ****. If that isn't bad enough there are plenty on here that love to spread false information as to why we are bad such as living unhealthy lifestyles, being over weight, not being in shape, beating off too much. The list goes on and on. I am not pointing the finger as I don't like the thought of being bald either, but sometimes we are not exactly helping our cause either.

But as you have so keenly observed before, the ones spreading those lies have full heads of hair... so they are personally immune to the bad name they are giving to bald folk, conveniently enough.As far as myself, I know I can be dramatic but I never degrade myself or any bald guys, in fact if you read me correctly you can see that I am trying to stick up for myself and bald guys in general. My hatred is well placed where it belongs, on those who are intolerant of us.

Also notice how bald guys don't even get the villain roles anymore. These days even villains look good with a head full of hair and the bald guys are degraded down to the 2nd or 3rd side kick of the main villain or a background artist. A bald guy can't even dream of being a main character unless he's some well established guy like Jason Statham or Vin Diesel.

does anyone still care about Vin D? I mean what has he been in recently? I thought that ship sailed.

Lead villain also looks much better with hair. Think of guys in goodfellas or casino. Girls like these kind of bad characters in movies too with slick hairstyles. The bald guy Is usually roiding and very big: he is the guard dog essentially for the good looking baddies. Yes he also looks manly but too much, any girl lusting over him? Probably very few.

At least balding guys still get parts in movies, ever seen balding women in movies, well besides sad movies about cancer.

that's bcoz its ok in the eyes of society to laugh at balding men. On the other hand, who could dare find pleasure in seeing a woman go bald, no she has to be treated with sympathy. Would you like a part in the movie as a balding loser to provide comic relief and cheap laughs? Yeah, that's what I thought

Swingline, I think Statham is the last of his kind. Vin and the rest have faded away.

Freddie Kruger was my favourite bald actor.

He didn't take **** from anybody.

And again there are no women lusting over him. He's the 2 line kick in the face guy now.
Look at comics there are no balding superheros those roles are reserved for villains, and the ugly ones at that. The main villains who look good have hair

Perception of bald men = invisible to attractive women.


exceptions include having a 200K + annual salary. Limitations include hot wife being allowed to **** the hung pool boy. :laugh:
