Haha poor fred
no you didn't lol. i dont even talk to other forever alones online, because even there i stand out, in a bad way. it doesnt help that a lot of forever alones are blue pilled to hell and back. i guess its a lot easier to be that way, though, when you have a full head of hairFred what is your prediction for the future when all the women you talk about are in their 40's and 50's. What will become of them and people like you? Do you think the playing field will "even out"? After reading the latest post about what women want I just want to know what becomes of these type of women in future. Do their values change or will they stay the same. I am sure Joan knows the answer to this. If I was in my 20's or even younger losing hair and read all these posts, I would probably just do what Exodus does and watch p**rn and just wait until someone makes a move on me. And then go for it. Thank goodness I didn't have to go thru all this social media narcissistic generation. No wonder so many of you have to be on medication for depression and anxiety. I would have too. I had the privileged NW1 but I also suffered from social anxiety and low self esteem that my life was no different from the NW6 who felt the same way inside. Thank goodness later I realized intelligence was eventually more stimulating then just a pretty face.
All very true I'm afraid. It took me 7 hours to make a steak yesterday just so I could keep my ill-gotten gains. And as you say the gym is an incredibly dangerous place to be. Whenever I walk in there its like Final Destination, barbells being dropped on people's necks, people being pulled under by treadmills and grinded into mincemeat. Big dumb meatheads everywhere, yelling "Just shave it bro!" at me while they inject steroids into their eyeballs and strangle puppies with their bare hands. An evil place for evil people.

Joan, I feel the same way as you and I too was not the "social butterfly" growing up. You and I have some things in common so I think we can relate to our generation better than this one. Honestly, if you and ID stop posting, I am going to "exit" with you because I really don't feel I belong here anymore and the posts about social media are getting too depressing. Joan, I think you are right about the playing field being slightly skewed in favor of men. Most women around my age are always telling me wait until I get to their age and most of them of younger than me. At this point in my life, I still feel women are more attractive if they stay fit and try to take care of themselves but if they carry negative baggage from previous relationships, I will steer clear of them. Unfortunately, with divorce rate so high its hard to find women who don't feel scorned. And I find women who have been scorned sometimes think dating much younger guys is ticket to happiness but its just a subconscious manipulation for control and sex with an "energizer bunny".I think the playing field is in men's favor actually. The average middle-aged guy looks better than women of the same age, in my opinion. In fact, some guys look better older than when they were younger. As long as they don't put on too much weight, they'll be more attractive and appealing than a lot of women, hair or not. I can only speak for myself regarding values, and yes, they do change. Looks do not trump other traits. I'm grateful social media wasn't around when I was young too, DH. I wasn't popular and didn't have many friends, so I'd feel like a loser for sure reading about everyone's great and exciting lives.

In my area, the women don't stay fit anymore in middle age. How about in your area?I respectfully disagree. In middle-age, women can still cake on plenty of makeup to make themselves look that much younger. I see them do it all the time when I somewhat frequently hang out in the Valley area of CT. Also, since most middle-aged women do not suffer from greatly-noticeable hair loss, that also helps them in looking much younger. I've seen middle-aged bald men, and they unfortunately look terribly old.
Thanks for those kind words my friend. My departure has been overdue. As I fly away, I might be back to wish everyone a Merry Christmas (or Happy Hannukah in a few days LOL) on Christmas day! And to all a good life!!!!We will miss you DH, and cherish your life's wisdom and magnanimous grace to every coming and passing forum member here.
It is only our love for you and your better interest that we yield you the right away to fly free from here.
Once you are ready my friend you need not wait for me. :sun:

beaty will gradually vanish.
You have good points Joan, and you are an asset to the forum. And actually, yes, I would agree with you that if women did not augment their appearances with makeup etc., that men probably would age much better. I've seen the same woman with and without makeup and the difference was very dramatic, IMO. They almost look like two different people. But women are allowed that luxury and men can't exactly go around wearing makeup, haha. And I really do believe that baldness does take a HUGE toll on men, the older they get. Also, how is your son doing? I believe you said he is in college so he should probably be coming home for the holidays any day now.
And Joan, you also bring up a good point with social media in that it portrays people and their lives as much more glamorous than they actually are. I've seen plenty of people who post photos of themselves with all smiles, hamming it up like they are the life of the party. Yet when see them out in person, they are dull and uninteresting. Or sometimes these people do not even bother to go out. They can bolster their social lives by taking "selfies" and sitting in front of computer. One of my glam rock bands wrote a song about it entitled "Web Junkie".
Doctor House: it depends on the woman but in my area, I've seen women well into their 40's that I wouldn't mind hooking up with at all. There is even one in her early 50's (friend of a friend) that looks much younger and garners the attention of guys much younger than her (myself included). They may not be as hot as their younger counterparts, but they are definitely still very attractive. And as I stated before, they can artificially augment their appearance so that they look much younger and more attractive. And since they are a bit older, they aren't nearly as picky as the younger ones either. But then again, it really does depend on the woman though, as I've also seen plenty of middle-aged women who haven't aged so well.
Thanks!
My son was home all last week for Thanksgiving (thank you for asking). It's getting harder for him to hide the recession, and his hair is pretty flat due to diffuse shedding. He said his crown was getting really thin, but I couldn't see any scalp yet. He decided (without my bringing it up!) to give Propecia another try. I told him that maybe it slowed things down, even if it didn't seem like it, so I think it's a wise decision. I know there are naysayers here regarding the risk of sides, but I do worry about that. He initially began taking it at 18--aren't guys still, um, growing? I'd hate for "that" to be stunted or affected in any way. That's going to be important to him a lot longer than his hair is.
Web Junkie is a good term. I'm glad my sons couldn't give a damn less about Facebook, Twitter, Instagram--whatever. Even if I had a glamorous life, I'd never broadcast it. Life changes on a dime. I have seen it happen. Better to be humble and modest.
Damn, that really sucks that your son started losing hair at 18. At least I didn't notice my hair loss until much later on. How is the hair loss on both sides of his family? It's cool that he's trying Propecia again. And you're not wrong to worry about the side effects. I got bad side effects from Propecia myself. I am really frustrated about the limited scope of today's treatments. But I believe that he is right to at least try Propecia; I totally advocate that. Many people do not suffer these side effects and are able to keep their hair. And if he is able to keep what he has throughout his 20's, then that is HUGE.
