What Exactly Is The Difference Between A Norwood 6 And 7?

[OldnBald]

Yes, the hair on top of my head minus the hairline is shaved and the hair piece is glued. When I first started wearing a hair piece I did a different technique were they used a net and attached hair to it, but in the end it did not work very well...

God damn, I'm sorry. This sh*t is so much worse for woman, how has this affected your dating life?

Well, my ex boyfriend dumped me because I was going bald, and since him I dated an older guy on and off that never wanted to commit. There was also another guy I went on a few dates with a while ago but that didn't go anywhere. However, as of recently I have met a really nice guy and he is so sweet and understanding about my hair loss. We are still in the getting to know each other-stage so we'll see how it goes. That pretty much sums up my dating life as of the last 5 years

I'm pretty familiar with your posts at this stage and this is the first I've heard of this. Just imagining how some guys would've repeated this story to infinity by now.

LOL. I have mentioned this a hundred times on this forum before. I'm sure some of the senior members can back me up.

How did you meet?
How did you bring up hairloss with him?

I told the story here before. He approached me in a grocery store and asked me on a date, I said yes and it just went from there. After we had been on a few dates and talked daily I decided to tell him about my hair loss so it would not become awkward if we were intimate and he found out that way. Also, I wanted to tell him at a fairly early stage to avoid becoming too attached in case he would ditch me for it. He took it very well but I have no idea what he is truly thinking, but he wants to keep seeing me so I'll just hope for the best.

Damn, dating is so easy for women.
Just godfuckingdamn.

It's been about 4 months that I told my girlfriend I was a transplantcel.

Nothing has changed since, she's still as loving and caring as she was before my revelation .

Got to be tough. Well I wish you the best my dear, as I've dated a few women with thin hair before (they always wrote a weave n were desperately embarrassed to mention, so I never did), n it wasn't the reason I stopped dating them, at all. You'll have some luck

I remember Polar Bear vol. 1 said something along the lines of; "Never show her your weaknesses, or she will use it against you!" LOL
Anyway, I'm glad you told her about your transplant actually, as it can only be used against you if you let it.
It might have scared her away if you told your whole premature baldness - panic attacks - psychiatry - transplant saga while sobbing uncontrollably on her shoulder, but casually discussing it can be healthy for your relationship and bring you closer.
Personally I will keep the worst of my hair loss anguish to myself, my therapist and this forum, but if the guy I'm dating asks me questions about it I will of course answer them, still without going too deep into my story, though.

I feel like I need to preface this by saying I'm not talking sh*t here, just an honest question.

But what's the point of a relationship if you can't be honest about your feelings? Considering you don't want to tell your bf how you truly feel about hairloss and are encouraging @WhitePolarBear to do the same.

Maybe I'm just gay as f***, but in an ideal relationship you should be able to talk about whatever is bothering you without feeling like you need to hold back. If you can't talk to the person you're supposed to share the rest of your life with about something that is deeply impacting your life, then what's the point?

Of course you should be able to talk about it if you feel like it. The right person will stay regardless. I'm just saying what I would do personally, I'm not ready to share that much with someone I've only dated for a month or so. Maybe I will open up more to him in the future, but certain details (admitted to psychiatric hospital twice *cough cough*) I'll leave out lol.

It's a cruel world isn't it.

Haha

We're all just chasing rainbows. Lying, deceiving and manipulating trying to look like a better person than we are to end up with a girl who does the same thing. Keeping the charade up for the rest of your life living unhappily ever after. gg

 

[Patrick_Bateman]

Here's a harder task: actually become a better person.

Once you do that, everything else falls into place.

I know, easier said than done, especially without a full head of hair.

You'll never be perfect, though.

 

[Patrick_Bateman]

No, but you can concentrate on getting closer to perfect rather than stagnating or moving away from it.

We are getting far away from my original point now. I'm not saying you shouldn't improve and try to be a better version of yourself.

I'm saying people are lying, deceiving and manipulating others and even themselves and then making themselves unhappy in the long run. Just look at your social media, people only take pictures of the best of their days and even then they are fraudulent in many ways. Even job titles are bullshit titles to make you seem more important than what you are. And then finally you are lying or deceiving the person you're supposed to spend the rest of your life with to try to seem like a better person than what you are. How much is left once you take away all the lies?

In the end everyone is lying, and feel like everyone else is a better person than what they are because that's what they show each other. You can't even tell the person you're supposed to spend the rest of your life with your deepest troubles.

 

[EvilLocks]

She knows about the whole premature baldness, major depression and panic attacks, but not about the psychiatry.

There are some experiences that are so dark that you should keep them to yourself.

You're allowed to have some privacy about your past struggles.

Exactly, this is what I meant in my post @Patrick_Bateman
Of course you should be able to have deep conversations with your gf/bf, but some things are simply better untold. You and me have both experienced extreme lows resulting in admission to psychiatric hospitals, so I think we share a mutual understanding about this. Also, I might be extra reluctant to talk about my past in it's fullness, since the only time I ''lost it'' and shared everything with two (former) best friends, they decided to not talk to me again, they probably thought I was nuts. So it's not exactly weird that I'm hesitant to open up and share everything with someone.

I hope you get the same treatment from your boyfriend (too soon?) Evil .

Haha, yeah, a bit too soon. We have decided to not date other people though, so it's heading in that direction at least

What's the difference between 4 - 7?

IMO, 3 is the worst that some guys can swing. 4 - 7, all look equally awful; just in their own unique way. Regardless, you're still "Eww bald", and obviously so, when you're on those numbers.

For most, Norwood 4 is where you've died — everything after that is just your corpse rotting off the bone.

Yeah it's all buzz cut territory.

You are known to be a baldy bean even at nw3, unless you have adequate density.
