Hi. I am Pinoyas from Japan and live now in North America for one year. Being bald in Japan is miserable(I can elaborate on this if you want), but I thougt in America things would be different, because even if you are bald you look and seem confident. Even though you guys are bald, you behave as if you don't care about such a thing too much. Actually, "baldies" around me in America appear confident, talkative, even aggressive and dating girls. This is my previous thought about people being bald in America.
Then, I found this forum and got surprised a lot by the fact that you guys are really depressed as much as people in Japan, like "Girls never love bald men, even hate them" stuffs and feel helpless. hopeless, and lost confidence....
I kind of laughed because you guys are discussing exactly the same things as Japanese are doing on line! And I realized that even Americans who look confident outside are suffering for losing confidence inside....
So, as a bald man who feels less and less cofident inside, I have a question. Are you guys trying to act confident intesionally? Is it American culture that even if you are not confident you have to look confident? Do man have to represent himself as confident even when it is a big lie?
This is not limited to baldies in general. Comparing to Japanese people, almost all Americans seem more confident. Some might feel really confident but the others might not feel confient in reality but pretend to be confident. And this is very important thing in America.
If my observation is true, I am gonna make believe to look confident.
I think I missed some gilrs because I behave "honestly,": when I am not confident,I behave less confident... This might be Japanese convention, but I have to adjust myself to American convention.
Am I right? Tell me please. :roll:
