The negative prejudice against baldness in Hollywood is pissing me off

[hellouser]

I hear what you are saying ^ when I had hair I wanted to be the buft alpha male. When I lost my hair I just wanted my hair back so I could just fit in... conform to the point where I am not meant to feel like a social pariah. **** perfection. You will never achieve it. There will always be someone more handsome. I don't need to sleep with a different supermodel each night. What I need is for people to not be such superficial, small minded pricks who actively shun me because I'm bald. I know it's important to change what you can and accept what you can't but I can't change other peoples ill perception of me and I can't get my hair back so I'm stuck here in this miserable pergatory and I don't see a way out other than death.

Check this out, a forum for vain body builders (seriously, they're not doing it for themselves, we all know their motives) laughing at bald men:

It's funny, most of them have plenty of hair and really prove my point of the privileged trying to keep bald men down only to hold onto their social standing. Hair means a LOT, but these ignorant meatheads haven't got a fvcking clue. Too bad their IQ is as high as their body fat percentage. Morons.

oh god lol, I was actually going to sign up to this forum today, no kidding. I sometimes get it for results when looking up workout info. Understand many of these guys are not in the same mind set as here. I can be on both sides of the fence.
If something happened and they could no longer work out then they would be depressive suicidal messes. But no one here cares about working out and would say the same things they are saying about this forum
"oh stop whining and get a hobby"
"read some books"
etc etc

get me.

Oh look, CNN covered beard implants! No, not using beard hair to put on your scalp... the other way around!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kgmgIuXmVs

Guys are taking follicles from the head and sticking them onto your face so you can grow a beard. But look, noone said anything about vanity, or shamed them in the video (though the commentors are all calling them hipsters). Show a video of the male pattern baldness and it all turns into a laughing stock.

Like I said, I hate society.

It's almost a given that this so-called beard implant trend is gaining more positive media coverage. Look at who's promoting it. It's a relatively uncomplicated procedure ( with potential health risks) for top notch and unheard of or even new hair transplant surgeons alike. Not to mention quick cash as well. Maybe some of you saw the recent video segment on BTT where a renowned hair transplant surgeon guest was invited to the show with the purpose of discussing Howard Stern's suspected hair piece/wig an calculatingly swayed off topic in order to insert his own experience with this very same procedure, most popular among young Hispanic males. I'm waiting for a particular associate from H and W office to solicit SMP beard procedures. In the end it seems even the best qualified and supposed most ethical hair transplant surgeons agenda mirrors exactly that of what every sleazy corporate run of the mill wheeler dealer shamelessly wears on his sleeves. In my estimation these doctors 'do good" façade quite possibly makes them worst.

I wondered about doctors intentions and the people not suffering from hair loss:

Does anyone really care to help us?

There is really nothing rational to be said that can change the state of mind of a balding man. Thats what I learned here.

The same can be said about society that denigrates balding men. I've thought about the reverse: why should I feel bad about my lack of hair? Why aren't the scumbags that mock baldness being called out for it? That would of course never happen because I'd be seen as an insecure, beta-male and be told to STFU and deal with it... in other words; continue to take the insults.

An idea just popped in my head, what is a bald NW6 goes completely nuts and goes on a shooting spree; with having written a note on how he hates society for picking on him for being bald, and that this is revenge . It would be a bit of an alpha thing and would get international coverage.

Not recommending this of course, just musing.

Media would give it marginal coverage. General public would turn it into the joke of the week. If we've never gotten sympathy before but got humiliated instead, I doubt there's much, if anything at all, that can be done to reverse societies retarded view on baldness.

 

[VeprSuper]

I am a member over at BB.com and the Misc subforum is notorious for stuff like that. The rest of the forums are NOT like that so don't let it turn you away, Swingline.

Actually, if you read the thread, they are being really cool about hairloss.

If someone did that it would indeed be a mockery, I can already picture the dailymail and huffington post comments. No one would gain any sympathy for balding men even if a guy committed suicide in a dark room quietly because he was constantly bullied at the work place because of his hair loss or whatever situation may be.

I've spent countless hours on that forum for various workout/health related things. Just never signed up. The reality is, many of those members who do start losing their hair become every bit concerned about it as us. There is a huge, huge megathread about stopping hairloss there (couldn't find it but it shouldn't be too hard to find with a little google work). Guess where they got all their info? From here, absolutely everything from transplants, wigs, and RU 5884194587657e56746578e46 is covered, and Hellouser (believe it or not) was quoted and his posts on this and other forums specifically linked to. Some even see him as a hairloss guru. Ironic that there is a thread sort of dissing this forum there now, but people on the BB forum just love to argue, even with each other about who is more "alpha" and wether or not "Zyzz" was awesome or just a tool. Just a bunch of people with differing opinions, like here. There is an attitude on that forum that everyone must act as "Alpha" as possible, so keep that in mind. Basically, everyone tries to sound like a super secure bad*ss even they aren't.

I don't mean to necro this but I JUST watched The Hunger Games for the first time and Woody Harrelson is wearing a wig in it, just had to mention that because it sort of pissed me off.

 

[CaptainForehead]

This one's for Exodus: In the trailer for the upcoming movie Exodus, the baddie is bald with kind of a soft face, the good guy has hair with angular facial features (Christian Bale).

My friend and I brought this up in our podcast show this week. Was kind of fun

 

[kejan]

The likes of Willis, Vin Diesel, Statham etc - we can't all and don't all, look like that. It's a nice market to crack, but you need to be a certain type. This is exactly what women think of when they say "just shave it all off".

The only decent example of an average-aging looking bald guy was Hank in Breaking Bad - for being reasonably normal. And even then, look back at the first seasons he was a complete novelty-joke figure.

i just watched the amazing spiderman 3 and guess what they did to make jamie foxx's character a loser?

a combover . . . .

 

[alonewithbacon]

On deliver us from evil there's this pedophile that get's his *** beat by a cop. And of coarse the pedophile is balding.

 

[bald29]

Friends is one of my favorite shows, but I hate how they are so openly against baldness. They make fun of it at least once every 2-3 episodes, and every time a bald/balding guy appears he is always a loser, a pervert, or he is there to make a point about being ugly. I think that I will do a recopilation of those scenes and make a video about it, I could easily put together at least 15 minutes of anti-bald bombardment.
