This is all great when put into perspective, until turbo Chad walks in and effortlessly makes you appear invisible.


This is reality. Sure, it happens.... but lets be frank, as a balding man you need to isolate yourself from everyone else and have her in a corner where she doesnt have much choice.


A women is only as faithful of her options at a given time. Being bald, puts you at a huge disadvantage, which inevitably leaves someone whos balding as a second class pick,


Its real simple, and both orientations are equal opportunists. Our first preference is someone with hair, our second being the latter.

This is making a lot of sense actually.

Lol I've seen alpham's stuff, Christ I must've been in a bad place.

He titles that video specifying "style in real life" because he knows 90% of his fanbase would assume he's talking about updating your Warcraft avatar.

Alpha M is widely popular guy.

There are far many people who don't even know what to wear inside their First Blazer purchase.
He has made few quite useful video that actually matters to world.
There are people who don't even know what type of shoes to wear on a specific type of function.
Fortunately,Alpha M had video for that.

Only few small decision is more than enough to be successful person in life.
Alpha M is an example of that.

His fashion sense is f*****g sh*t, that's the problem. Look at what he's wearing in that thumbnail, a f*****g leather jacket, a logo T shirt and a f*****g ear piercing. No one except a good looking guy with hair and wealth can get away with that without looking like a total fool.

The guy has a video called

"Why YOU Will Age Like SH*T! 10 Reasons You Are Going To Look OLD"

And this is the thumbnail:

The dudes laughing at you bro. He knows nothing about style, he just looks decent and has incredible hair with a very low hairline.

I’m pretty surprised with all the negativity around this, I just want to help people and share what helped me through dealing with hair loss.

This sh*t worked for me.

You have to go in with an open mind and the desire to help yourself, I can’t force you.

Can’t believe how toxic a f*****g hair loss forum can be we’re all in the same f*****g boat!!
If you stay sarcastic and bitter your never going to be happy.

Like you start over thinking it and drawing out the worst case scenario in your head. For example your baldness will mean you will never have a relationship again

but it’s just unrealistic fear, and after you shaved your head you’re now dating the love of your life, right?

the thing is, we are not in the same boat. i know you mean well, but these types of stories are as ignorant as the “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” BS that people preach while failing to grasp the concepts of privilege and inequality.

i agree with you that this forum is toxic. most of the kids you see “disliking” posts and throwing around insults are just immature man-children. when somebody tries to help without fully understanding, that needs to be an educational opportunity. not foaming at the mouth with rage.

Very few people can rock the bald look, you realize that right ? Confidence has nothing to do with it

I actually really appreciate this response, I didn’t mean to sound ignorant.

I just wanted to offer an alternative to taking medication or hair transplant as it’s not always a realistic option to everyone

Cheers

Ill try to keep this as short and too the point as possible but I want to share with you all how I dealt with balding at 23 (I was a Norwood 4 with the cute little island of hair forming at the front!)

Balding hits you hard emotionally no matter what age you are, but when your late teens/early 20s it can be especially tough with image being such a big deal.
Now I personally don’t feel that medication really does solve the issue, not mentally so you can truly be happy with who you are. And that’s what we all want right? To be happy with who we are and the way we look!

Going bald is like being dealt a sh*t hand in poker, you can whine and b**ch about how bad you have it or you can play your hand as best as you can.
Basically you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself over something you have zero control over and start looking for ways in which you can improve the things you can control.

What do you do? BUZZ IT AND OWN IT!!
This is however easier said then done as it will plunge you right out of your comfort zone! These are the things I did to help me take that terrifying decision.


Meditation
I mean it’s not going to grow your hair back, but balding caused a fair bit of anxiousness for me. Like you start over thinking it and drawing out the worst case scenario in your head. For example your baldness will mean you will never have a relationship again and that you will die alone or you think everyone’s looking at your hairline. These crippling thoughts can largely be kept at bay through meditation, plus meditation has so many benefits!
I started by downloading an app on android (I’m sure it’s on Apple too) called Headspace and it has a great introduction to meditation, it really helped and still helps me!

Upgrading your style (how you dress)
I used to dress like sh*t, I didn’t really care. Then I started doing homework on YouTube found some great channels on men’s fashion, and applied what I learnt into how I dress. When you dress well it gives you a massive boost of confidence, you carry yourself well and people see that. I know this doesn’t really solve the balding situation but it’s all about the bigger picture.

CONFIDENCE
Definitely the hardest but also the most important. One of the biggest fears for guys going bald is the thought of never being able to get into a relationship due to their lack of hair! This is bullshit, it’s not your lack of hair it’s your lack of confidence from your lack of hair, and it does look like a viscous cycle but it CAN be broken. This is something that will develop over time when you start applying the other tips - the first guy has excellent techniques on confidence building.

Charisma On Command
FarFromAverage
ImprovementPill

Social status
A lot of guys who lack confidence are of a low social status, and upping your social status is actually a lot easier than you might think. It’s not really to do with how much money you have or if you’re a CEO of a company - it’s your social and communication skills. The guys channel who I’m going to post has drastically changed my life in the space of 6 months! You have to action the techniques he teaches but when it all suddenly makes sense you go into social interactions with a totally different mindset and it turns into a game! This alone massively boosts your confidence, his eye contact videos are a good place to start.
YouTube Channels:
The Charisma Matrix

Gym
This is my next step now - to bulk up! If your muscular with a bald head you f*****g emit masculinity, and your confidence will just sky rocket and you won’t even think about your lack of hair. Like no one will care or f*** with your sh*t!

Self Help Books
So I downloaded an app called Audible a couple of months ago, which is for audio books. Now I’m not a big reader in anyway, so I found this worked well for me to be able to just sit and listen. I haven’t gone through many books but I can really highly recommend:
How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie
The Subtly Art Of Not Giving A f*** by Mark Manson

They have really interesting content and it’s easily applicable to your life!
Remember this all adds to help confidence and it’s confidence which is going to enable you to embrace the buzz!

I buzzed my head to a one 2 weeks ago and I never looked back, it was the best decision I made, it was like shaving off an insecurity. The first week is hard, people have to adjust to your new look, I work as a bartender so I’m constantly on view, and it was NOWHERE near as bad as I thought it would be!

I apologise for my poor grammar as I don’t really post but I hope who ever reads this can take something from it and better their lives like I did.
