I like "unique" better than warped. Lucky for them they take after their father in regards to how they see life. Someday, though, I know some things I say will come back to haunt them.

Dammit, now I'm really curious how Wolf Pack and Joan look like lol. Anyway, I agree with the people saying hair loss takes a bigger toll if you've been good looking, I can attest to this. Losing your looks when you've been called a 10 all your teen and adult life, is heartbreaking.

As far as "the Belgian", I know some will disagree, but you just can't help but to be drawn to him, no matter what he says.

Yeah he sure is something, very unique and intriguing :)

Whats tough is when you were good looking because YOU WORKED at it. I was naturally decent looking with a good face BUT I worked hard at fitness and healthy eating as well. I took the time to try and create a style and dress well; well actually Im prob the ONE guy who enjoy shopping. I worked on hobbies and talents, like my music to fullfill an attractive persona.
Losing earned looks is tough. Especially when you cant "work" hair back on your head. You can yes get a hair transplant but its never going to be that "good" head of hair again.
Brother was helping me with my back porch this weekend and regaling me with his stories of these 2 22 year old girls hes hooked up with since his break up. Pisses me off knowing that when I finally get free I will never be able to attract that again. Itll be young fat girls or older women, YAY. Im thin scalped and gray, with a near barren crown, worn out and look like Im in my 40s. He really did get the good genes. I feel like Danny Devito in twins sometimes.

I understand what you mean. When I had all my hair I worked hard on my body as well, and loved the results. After losing my hair I can't be bothered anymore, I mean I should be working even harder now due to my disadvantage but it just doesn't happen. I think to myself "what's the point in even trying, when I'm going to look like crap anyway because of my hair?"

Swing, you are in good shape. With the laws of attraction you will attract the same. You are just like me. Way too hard of critic with yourself but I wish I had your build. I think thick and stocky looks better than any ectomorph in good shape.

Why's that? The rest of my family is quite relaxed about looks but since a young age me and my mum have always got along very well. She's quite descriptive and vocal about looks, clothes and portraying yourself in society. We generally have a great bond outside of all this. I think she's spot on, it's just other people would rather relax and forget about it once in a while, as is their right. Out of all my siblings I look the most like her own family and she has always been subconsciously drawn to that I think. She has been telling me to have a transplant soon, even though it's not bad at the moment.

They think I put too much importance on my looks and that I'm negative sometimes. My hypochondria (which has gotten much better since my hair loss) and things I did when I was certain "this time I'm right" also made them think I was a little nuts. I do tend to be unfiltered at times as well--gotta remember to keep some comments to myself.

Never say never. If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be a wealthy woman.

One of the reasons my father is still wearing his hair piece is that my grandmother won't tolerate to see him without it.

My mother has always been relaxed about it and asked my father to ditch it multiple times.

But my grandmother always tells him he would not look presentable without it, and criticizes him when it's not adjusted well.

And my father becomes very self-conscious when she makes a comment about his looks or clothes.

Unfortunately, my father inherited that trait and does the same with me. I'm glad he agrees with my shaved look though.

Yes, these traits are basically inherited. Mothers never stop being mothers as your father has learnt himself. I think it's not all women but certain types that are more obsessed with a guy's appearance. My mum is very pretty and because she was and still is used to getting attention from guys, she has a set image in her mind of what to expect and choose from. I think your shaved head look is fine and I am glad your Dad agrees. Now I really think of it, I can't be bothered with a piece, it feels too much effort despite the big benefit. Not to mention the psychological issue of having two identities.

I've said this to you before: If you were a 10 with hair, you'll be a 10 with a really good wig. You'll hate wearing it, true, but your face is your face, and losing your hair isn't going to change it.

I do think you're hard on yourself considering you're lucky with a good structure. We can't change who we are, what we want - but we can try and control any issues. Keep staying on top of them :) I didn't notice hair loss in you unless very close pictures, it was parted naturally.

Just like you Joan, your beautiful face is your beautiful face, and me not seeing you is not going to change that. -)

I know I know, just hate the thought of wearing a wig so much. Miss my beautiful, thick and long brunette hair like crazy! :(

Haha if you weren't already married (or are you?) I could totally see a hook up between you two *wink wink* ;)

No I am not married. I have been in a relationship for a few years now.

Joan is out of my league. She is simply wonderful

Were circumstances different I could easily see it.

If she saw me she might run for it and I would not resent her for it.

Evil I love your romantic notions nonetheless. It's a soft side that complements you very nicely. -)

Don't say that. I'm sure you are being too hard on yourself... You seem like a wonderful person and even though I don't know what you look like, we are often our own worst critics. I know this from experience, I'm always judging myself in a negative way. It's hard to change though, when you're so used to being one way.

Well thank you :) I'll admit I'm a hopeless romantic lol.

Yes I use Toppik.

And I agree, nothing more special than being with the right person. I just hope I find him someday, despite my horrible hair... You are lucky to be in a relationship, I really miss that.
