Stone Cold Opens Up A Can Of Truth On About His Baldness On His Latest Podcast

[Austin:316]

Just thought I'd share this...

 

[Rudiger]

It's kind of interesting that the image we've always associated with Stone Cold wasn't exactly premeditated, and he had his own insecurities. If given the option he would've stayed looking like Chris Jericho and possibly faded as just another wrestler instead of the legend he became, baldness made everything fall into place.

So let's all shave our heads and be our own Stone Colds because it worked for him.

LOL

One thing i've heard from actual bald people in their 40s is that losing your hair is the hardest part and being bald is actually easier. They told me that losing your hair in your 20s is the most stressful thing because you think your life is over and that you will never date like a normal person. But, from what they say, once they cut it all off they found that life still went on and that their social lives didn't suddenly end and they were still able to meet women.

This feedback might be a little skewered though because I've only ever asked this to bald guys who seems happy and somewhat successful. In fact, and this might sound weird, but any time I meet a bald person when they are on their own I always ask them about their hair loss and if its affected them. It might seems like and odd thing to do but I always just tell the truth and say that hair loss stresses me out and I want to know how they dealt with it - once they know that they don't mind chatting.

Its a shame we don't have any normal baldies on this forum so we could get some honest feedback on what its really like.

Why can't you ask unsuccessful (the vast majority of..) bald guys? They're all dead. Either literally or figuratively.

I'm a baldy and have been extremely depressed for years now. I lost all my hair in my early twenties (seven years ago now) and have been pretty much dead inside ever since. I can't really really speak for the gradual hair loss phase since I never experienced it, but being entirely bald really sucks as it is impossible to hide and is the defining feature of your appearance.

I will never forgive my immune system for stealing my humanity from me - hopefully Aclaris can release those drugs soon so I can finally go to war with it.

I've never met what some people would call a bald loser in real life. I've only met bald men with jobs and wives and all that.

Again - that's because they're all dead - both literally and figuratively.

It's because you're not going out and meeting losers.

There's a selection function involved --- we all end up meeting people similar to ourselves.

And because those losers don't get out and meet anyone full stop. So how's he supposed to meet them?

They're all dead.

He has a massive neck, that is another feature that helps in pulling the bald look because even if you have a weak chin the massive neck hides it.

 

[blackg]

The BS killer argument that fullhead normies always have when you discuss the impact of baldness:

"I see many bald guys that are successful and have girlfriends!"

Yep, these are the only ones you see, maybe 10-20% of all bald guys will make it.

And they made it because they had one or several compensatory features: height, looks, high IQ, extroversion, etc.

But the vast majority of the young baldies who were only average in all other areas? They're most likely lying down are rotting.

This is the Fred I know and love.

while I do like his story, remember he is the exception, not the norm. Also he was peak relevant when society started turning to the "bald gotee" look. That why the look started being called the stone cold or steve austin look. Same as people say the Hogan about long sides with the bald norwood 7

Hogan's hair is like looking back at an old fashion and thinking "how the f*** did that ever become passable?" it's like the bell-bottoms of hair.

+1, classic bear. Needs a "Please." at the end though.

At least it had "Someone saying something with an exclamation mark!"

 

[Rudiger]

Having a wife and job means **** all, it's pretty standard and shouldn't be used as much of an indicator.

I agree, these are the cream of the crop, the top 0.5% of bald guys, and they're just living a normal life.

Where's all the rest -Dead.

All. Dead.

 

[JohnsonDDG]

Having a wife and job means **** all, it's pretty standard and shouldn't be used as much of an indicator. He is still living a subversion of his full head life, pretty sure about that. Unless he's a bald CEO, even then he's not getting the same type of respect and value as an attractive full head. You got to be happy with your identity too. He won't be immune to bald taunts either and being viewed as inferior. Even if he has money, a hot girl and prestige career: he's still the bald guy. "How did he get her" or "Bald piece of crap" in arguments too as well as jokes. No thanks. Happening in your youth? Even worse.

This does raise the philosophical question of: what does it mean to be a success?

Is it to have a good family and lots of loved ones?

Is it to have many children?

Is it to be beautiful?

Is it to accrue wealth?

Is it to pursue your passions and hobbies?

What is the measure of success?

Is anyone on this forum successful?

Anyone earn over $100,000 per anum? Does anyone have a stunning partner? Anyone very successful in any other way?

Hope I have more room in my sig.

 

[mdmnota]

OF course it's not ideal. But for me, after shaving it, everything is so much easier. Maybe it's just coping but I'm 100 times less stressed nowadays, then when I could see my hair falling out.

I'm probably considered successful by peers my own age or older, having a steady career, savings, no problems with finding a partner. A female friend recently used Superman comparatively to me, in a positive way because of good qualities, I liked this.

I live alone and have intimacy issues.
