@blackg,

You're being mean to posters here, are you sure that's best?

Separately, I think that nobody here would give a sh*t about this article if it were completely unrepresentative of reality. To the extent people care, it's because it is representative. We recognize a lot of common problems. It's an attractive women saying that women experience all the problems, baldness is funny, and also that she's oblivious to the existence of unattractive men. It's sanctioned as normal bigotry by a mainstream media organization. It's totally normal, that's why people care.

But that serves a point. Journalism isn't about value - its about selling clicks and copies.
The more controversy the better.

I think some people make the mistake of thinking journalism ought to be some moral calling whereas in reality its about some people who can write - and do little else - who decide to make a living out of those skills.
You always bring some calm and reason to this place.

Well, whatever the case, this is a woman that I don't find attractive in anyway whatsoever.
She looks like somebody's boring aunt.
No sex appeal at all.

She can post what she likes, only nobody's listening.

That's because he's a fullhead, so much easier to be calm and reasonable in those conditions.

brb going to cancer support forum to teach them some wisdom, I'm sure they too can be happy like me!
He's not a full head - did you see picture of him?

His hair has receeded a few cm's and is really frizzy (sorry david)

NW3 or below = fullhead to me.

NW4 and above = bald.

I'm very binary like that.
Ah, ok. I can see how you come to that belief.

To me, we are all hair loss brothers and we will all end up the same one day (unless treatments save us).

tssk very sexist

what does her sex appeal/looks have to do with the value or validity of her opinion?

Give it some thought.

I never understand how the argument that "this is the way it is" can be used against the argument "this is the way it should be".

Just because journalism is mostly a bunch of clickbait sh*t written specifically to garner hits doesn't mean it has to be that way and it certainly doesn't mean it should be that way.
Yes, but the majority of humans are trash, so trash has a wide appeal.
You can't fight human nature.

I'n not bald by Fred's standards either. The difference is that I don't tell the bald guys on the forum to just man up and hit the gym bro.
Thats shookwun and jduk who do that.

Although I do recommend the gym to everyone - bald or not bald.

This. From a cursive look at the article, it's just mindless drivel designed to make you read it. Men have always been self-conscious about their appearance in one way or the other, even if society would have you believe the contrary. Look no further than Louis XIV wearing four inch high heels for a rather baroque example, or even the so-called "macho" men from the 80s who reveled in the density of their chest hair and their dapper mustaches.

And for a brief explanation of why "angry" content is so effective in getting you to pay attention to it:
You're a smart dude. I appreciate your valuable imput.
It helps to balance out all the crazy stuff.

Lol and here is an example of what I mean when I say people on here are ridiculous regarding looks.

I get that she pisses you off, but she looks completely normal for her age. Hardly aging like milk.

Anyway, it's just modern feminazi propoganda as usual.

She doesn't consider young men in this equation and claims that women deal with this kind of insecurity their entire lives. Know how you can get a mate if you're a female?

Just exist. You don't have to do anything; one day, mr.right will approach you and you will go out with him and one day he'll ask you to marry him, etc. The only requirement most men have is "don't be fat".

Women on the other hand have a list of requirements beyond an individuals control. You have to be taller than her, have a certain color of hair, have hair, bone structure, etc.

I know this reads like a typical impact forum dirtbag post, but women simply can't relate to what dating is like if you're a man. They do not realize how good they have it; being free to just wait for the best suitor to come along.

Nothing new here.

Look at her eyes. They're wrinkly... and deserved.

Schadenfreude b**ch... I can't stand women (people in general) like her. Smug, smarmy self righteous c**** only finding pleasure in life at the expense of someone else's misfortune.

Not exactly true. Tellersquill is loosing his temples, sure at a moderate pace, but I'm certain it's quite painful for him to watch them disappeare.

Quite often it's the most painful and soul destroying period of hair loss, the early stages.

Constantly looking in mirrors, constantly worrying if your sex appeal is really heading south and you may become invisible to the top tire women.

Constantly looking at your phone to see if you have any matches on tinder/grinder, or whatever your preference may be.

Not getting smiles from the cute checkout girls anymore, and so on.
It's a real emotional minefield and I for one don't wish it apon anybody.

If tellersquill wasn't stressed then he wouldn't have joined up to HairLossTalk.com.
His plight is just as valid as the rest of us and is worth acknowledging.

Give him some thought, because I do. Often.
