The correlations between baldness and losserness

[Ori83]

I think what happens when you start losing your hair, many guys, they just start to get obsessed with it and the time and thought they invest in this shitty hair loss situation that could other-wise invested in more improtant things (like focusing at collage/chasing girls/ socializing/ focusing on a career/ working out etc etc etc ) is wasted, pushing them back instead of forward, only increase the gap with "hair people" in other areas too!

another one; some just look at the mirror, they dont fit that bald look (may or may not get obsessed about it) and think "well there is no point in trying to look better since youll always fall behind without hair" and then they just stop working out, stop taking care for their bodies and the total look, clothing, tanning and all that.

I think these are the main two reasons why so many bald guys become losers... [ its important for me to mention that i think there are many reasons why a guy will become a loser, with or without hair but these are the main reasons why so many bald guys are losers!)

i was watching Luis C.K's show the other day, and all he did was bitching how much of a shitty life he had and have, and yeah i know its comedy, and most of he is saying is BS just to get laughs but hear me out, his body looks like sh*t, he takes ZERO care for it! and then i tried to imagine how he would look like with hair, and all of a sudden he looked way better and thinner *inside my head* which lead me to thing that having hair is like a self fulfilling prophecy - you have the potential to look the best you can ---> you chase and achieve that! and this lame potential is what holding most bald men back.. IMO (and i know some of your comment will be like " but there is that homeless guy with hair, and this fat guy with a full mop"... im talking about the majority of *young!* guys here, keep that in mind please)

Yes, same with the lion's mane...... bald lion gets booted out of the gene pool quite fast..

 

[Ori83]

Its amazing how intelligent and enlightenment we think we are, yet still controlled by primitive triggers like any other animal.... we are just more pathetic thinking ourselves a higher specie... (at least nature is honest)

Take a sample of the population. Find out how many of them are bald and how many of them are losers, then find out how many of them are both bald and losers, then you can calculate the correlation between baldness and loserness :whistle:

Depression just create more depression

Unless they are bald Tsavo lions....

The Tsavo lions prides are unique in that they frequently have only a single male lion with an average of 7 to 8 adult females :woot: , opposed to 4 females in other lion species prides.

It is theorized that Tsavo males may have heightened levels of testosterone, which could explain both their reputation for aggression and dominance.

yes but there is a reason why men with hair thinning feel bad about it. it's biologically programmed.

No, it's not. There is no experimental research that has demonstrated hair loss biologically causes self-esteem.

Individuals who are high in neuroticism and introversion are more disposed to self-esteem issues, they're also more likely to seek out a forum online.

Baldness does not cause low self-esteem, it just correlates with it.

 

[Beingbaldsucks]

Baldness is still not as bad as facial scars, there are people that are litterly deformed, and the world see them as freaks, thank god bald people are still not freaks

 

[uncomfortable man]

What constitutes being a loser anyway? Not having a million friends on facebook? Not dressing a certain way? I'm sure some people may look at me as a looser and others may think not because their criteria for being a loser is different. But I think you have touched on an important observation in asking WHY bald people are often percieved as losers.

Short answer, socially imposed stereotype.

Oh, these Darwinian theories again

As I said before. I demand an explanation on why it doesn't affect black males?
Why are clean shaved black males considered the epitome of black masculinity then?

 

[Ori83]

Because when they shave their head there is no pattern.... simple...

 

[bigentries]

Then why not just go for laser hair removal if the reason is that simple?

And I don't believe it's just that simple, some light-skinned black men do show some pattern. It's just a cultural thing, like being overweight, it's not an instant turn off in black males like it is for white guys

 

[Ori83]

And some white dudes dont show patterns too because they are blond, but we are talking here about the MAJORITY! everything being said here is in a general sense...

about the laser, this is wrong in so many ways...
first its very costy
second you cant get a permanent results, youll always have some hair, and it will be in clusters and look very bad
3rd it will hurt
4rth if you want to get an hair transplant then your f*****g up you donor area
5 youll look like a cancer patient

first its very costy

So is an hair transplant, propecia, every other treatment in the long run...

second you cant get a permanent results, youll always have some hair, and it will be in clusters and look very bad

Same with hair transplant's, propecia, every other treatment available.

3rd it will hurt

Same with hair transplants

4rth if you want to get an hair transplant then your f****ing up you donor area

If your only worry is a horseshoe, an hair transplant is already out of the question

5 youll look like a cancer patient

So again, the "pattern" is just a lie, the only problem is being a white bald dude. I doubt Shaq or any other succesful black male with a shaved head is seen as a "cancer patient"

Who said it doesn't effect black people? What about NEO? When his mugshot hit the tabloids, everyone was calling him a clingon.... Warf.

Everyone understands how black people look better than white people bald and shaved. Simply because it looks better, it is more accepted but that is not to say that black guys who loose their hair don't lament it or get flack for it from certain people who are inclined to dissaprove of it anyway.

 

[uncomfortable man]

The way the media paints bald people most of the time isn't helping either.

 

[Ori83]

Same with hair transplants

ofc thats the same with hair transplant ... but who the f*** said hair transplant is a valid solution.... :dunno:

 

[uncomfortable man]

Me thinks bigentries is just proposing the idea out of a devil's advocate stance and wouldn't seriously consider it himself if it came down to decision time.

No, I'm just saying that the supposed "horseshoe pattern" problem is a lie. The horseshoe pattern is not the problem, because if it was, you only need to get it removed with laser and move on with your life.

I wouldn't do it because I know it doesn't solve anything. The problem is social acceptance of baldness. And Ne-yo is a weird case because he is a hat prisoner, he just gives ammunition to some bullies.

 

[uncomfortable man]

I wouldn't do it because I know it doesn't solve anything.

Then why propose it then? Because you want to provide an opposing stance to prove a point, hence devil's advocate.

The problem is social acceptance of baldness.

:bravo: indeed, advance to the next level...
