We all have zero respect for bald men!

[uncomfortable man]

Because if you can't dismantle that then you will never be able to achieve your goal.

read the initial post again, this is exactly what im talking about... keep on going and building more and more hate towards bald men/baldness surly wont help me (or anyone else for that matter) in achieving confidence back..

in order to be able to move on (like the non HairLossTalk.com guys men that s.a.f keeps talking about) one most respect bald men.. this is the only way to respect yourself as a bald guy, and to get there you most look at positive examples of bald guys!!! to see successful bald guys as examples and try to be more like these men... but first you have to respect them! and every single time someone gives an example of a bald men with a good looking women, the same guys will jump in and go on about how she is using him for his money/fame/car or whatever..... this is utter b.s! and this should be stopped or at least ignored.. so its a step im trying to take

How can you gain respect for all bald men? Your generalizing. Some bald men may be worthy of respect while others may be slimeballs. I think you just have to adjust and maybe even force yourself to "like" the way baldness looks in order to gain some respect, for yourself or otherwise. It's hard to do because we are just as brainwashed as the ones with hair.

Says the man who despised being bald.

And ????

I'm not asking people to like being bald, but its up to you wether you use it as an excuse to give up on life or not.

Good post. I'm with you that the appearance of bald men is so offputting to me that it has deteriorated my own confidence and warped my self image pretty badly. I've still been going on dates (27 now) with good looking girls since becoming a nw3.5-4 @ thinning crown but looking at myself is still a struggle sometimes.

My most common/general perception of bald men is that they look nerdy, asexual, and weak. These feelings reflect on to myself when I start having tough days.

I had a bittersweet opportunity to go sly when a good friend my age was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Quite a few of us shaved our heads to support her and I've surprisingly had a lot of positive feedback about it. I even had a 21 year old ask ME out since going sly...hmm! Now, the trouble is looking around and noticing that 90% of sly guys are sly because they're balding. Sigh.

Careful... people on here will think you're delusional like those sly guys with their hot girlfriends/wives!

I agree that we are subconsciously biased by beauty but don't take it that far.

Before starting balding, I seriously don't remember thinking about it at all, besides my own father's baldness a man had to be completely shaved or sporting the monk look to even be registered as "baldness" for a second in my brain
