Fred, I was targeted in a similar way you were but with my skin and my "turkey legs". It scarred me for life but once you don't care about what people think and realize where you are "blessed", then its makes life some what bearable. Once you stand tall and realize no one is better than you, you will start to realize those who conform to society's shallow standards are just not worth your time. The best privilege in life is you can chose who you want to be around and who you chose to avoid when it comes to your social circle. And sometimes, even if your social circle is very small, it still will be enough to satisfy your social needs.Girls have rejected me in the past because I was bald. Girls have broken up with and have explicitly mentioned baldness for doing so.
People have mocked me publicly for being bald. You know the story about the guys singing in the bar. Or the kids shouting "egghead!" on the street.
Yet I've also had people tell me that I was too negative when I tell these stories? WTF? It happened, I didn't make it up, yet I'm negative somehow?
These people and women sh*t on bald men and we're just supposed to keep smiling and take it, you know, because if we dare to complain about it, we're negative!
That's why I've just stopped talking about it completely. Guys are often more understanding, but even telling the bar story to a girl will sound like complaining.
For women, men don't have a right to complain, we're supposed to roll with the punches. They often have that look on their face, they look away, say "it's so sad".
But you know what they're thinking: "What a whiny little b**ch! It's only hair!", and you know what guys are thinking: "Thank god it's not happening to me, bald loser..."
