What Is Your Worst/lowest Balding Moment?

[tellersquill]

jude law is weird case. it looks like he has good donor. no crown thinning. and his hairline/temples arent receding too badly. he could get some minor work on the hairline and it would make a huge difference i think. not sure why he doesnt. maybe he doesnt give a sh*t

View attachment 46968

He used to style it so well. When he was in Alfie and the Holiday and he was a nw3 it looked really good.

Now he's advanced nw4 he cant do it anymore

thats what i mean man, why doesnt he fix his hairline a little. only needs a small touch up really. he must surely realize as a movie star the roles hes missing out on ffs. who knows

He actually said that his looks hindered his career early on because people were distracted by his beauty.

He probably consciously allowed it to happen (although I am guessing)

yeah maybe your right. i saw an interview saying how hes glad hes grown out his pretty boy looks. i thought it was bs cos hes a f*****g hollywood star ffs, he needs his hair! now he doesnt get that many leading roles. who knows.

Jude Law wanted to be uglier, not sure if I believe that..

But, I'm not going to bother researching it, so I guess I'm going to believe it.

I would literally chew through my own left nut (if I were flexible enough) to reach Mirelieas (or whatever the f*** his name) is level of aesthetics. He's a straight 8/9 in this photo imo. Looks a bit dodgy in the others, that beach one anyway.

yeah good looking dude. good head shape, nice face, gd athletic body (well the kind id like to have).

lucky f****r

u can see when he sweats the hairline shows, but f*** it. i still like the style

 

[sunchyme1]

f*** me though. The difference between Mireles at NW1 (or at least, the illusion of it) and NW3.5 is night and day. He drops 1-2 points because of his sh*t hairline easily. Some guys seem to drift up to NW2/3 unscathed, but this dude wears the recession f*****g terribly.

its not so bad, only cos sweating and running around. but yeah makes a difference

full head vs now

i like how hes owning it with the beards and hairstyles etc. but for sure hairline is a killer man

Worst moment: being best man at a wedding and seeing in particular one blown up picture of myself, it was from a side angle, my head was down, it was also first thing in the morning and I was red and bloated looking, but my f*****g forehead looked gigantic. I was like, in shock, I am aware of how bad my hair is (or was, treatments have helped considerably in the last year or so) but I've never seen my head look quite that big, in my mind it was like NW5.

Now, I've seen the same picture since, and it was somewhat in my head, it's still an un-flattering picture but not quite as shocking as initially thought, for whatever reason it just really hit me that time, and stuck with me for months.

brutal. f*** that girl man.

Yeah f*** her while you still have hair lololol

Our attitude towards women's honesty/brutality is a conflicting one here on HairLossTalk.com, I'm not talking about you in particular but a lot of people seem to hate that women lie about their hatred of hair loss, but when they tell the truth? Superficial b****s etc.

I mean everyone is superficial, we don't want ugly girls the same way they don't want ugly/bald guys. I'm sure 90% of our anxieties about baldness are down to attracting women, the rest such as social status and employment are still significant but personally to count up the time I spend worrying about baldness, it's almost always worrying about if women would still like me bald, or if I'm doomed to become some pathetic creepy guy desperate for any attention.

So yeah, "f*** that girl" but at least she's told the truth, which is hard to take but you know where you stand. It's also a kick up the *** to do whatever you can about baldness, all those other girls who say "it's just hair! Just shave it you'll look bad ***" will happily watch you go bald, and then not touch you with a 10 foot pole.

As for Meireles I couldn't believe the difference of how good looking he was before to what's happening now:

From terrific to, terminal.

My worst baldness-related experience was undoubtedly the night I caught my (ex) girlfriend cheating on me with a thick NW1.

I'd gotten home from what was supposed to be a late shift at work a couple of hours early. Let myself into the flat and heard strange yelps, moans and grunting noises emanating from what appeared to be our bedroom.

Heart in my throat, I mounted the stairs. As I got closer to the room, it was clear the noises were sexual - I braced myself for what I feared I was about to see.

In one, swift movement I threw open the door to find my beloved, usually sexually-inhibited, girlfriend in an upside down U-position over the headboard of the bed. Behind her, a butch NW1 was ploughing her backdoor doggie-style while she strummed herself off and groaned.

I reached for my travel-sized bottle of minoxidil (which I keep in my jacket pocket in case of emergencies) and crept up behind the man, planning on hurling the contents into his eyes (and hopefully blinding him for life). I was just about to grapple him when my girlfriend (still unaware that I was behind her) said 7 words that will haunt me for as long as I live: "oh yes, pound me with your NW1!!!!!".

I stopped dead in my tracks, paralysed by what I'd just heard. The man responded instantly: "mmm yeah, you like my straight hairline babe, you like it?" "YES OH GOD YESSSSSS" "Good, then maybe you'd like to know that" he whispered this last part into her right ear erotically, "my density is over 300 hairs per cubic centimetre".

As if on cue, she exploded. The c*m squirted violently from her c*** as she bent backwards, groping desperately for his thick mane. I ducked back out of the door as she did so. I was relieved I had escaped unseen, but traumatised by what I had just witnessed.

Later I would look through her phone and find thousands of secret text conversations between her and the NW1, mocking my shiny dome. I broke up with her later that week. Moral of the story: hair matters.

9/10 but would've been complete if she broke up with you instead and you begged to have her back.

Hmm.. I'm not sure, it's like a whole terrible experience all together but some of the worst moments I can remember are:

- When I shaved my head because my hair was looking like sh*t and then 2 weeks later my girlfriend dumped me.
- The first time being open about it with my parents and asking them to help me to a hair specialist so I could get a finasteride prescription.
- That one time I totally lost my sh*t, started crying and broke the bathroom door by kicking a big a** hole on it, had to pay for it after trying to explain my parents what happened and I know it sounds childish but I'm sure many of you know how frustrating it can be.

I'm sure there's more but these were on top of my head.

Worst moment would be when I saw on my girlfriend of 3 year's facebook that her friends had made fun of her being with me. They logged into her account, and wrote a post something like i like men with bad receding hair lines that look like middle aged men. This was when i was age 20, receding fast and diffusing, probably NW4. Anyway, a few weeks later she broke it off with me, she never really gave a reason but i'm sure it was because of hair loss. It was brutal, although i find it hard to blame her. My looks had gone to sh*t in the space of 3 or so years.

On a positive note, about 3 years later after uni when i was back to NW2 with better density i saw her out with some of her mates. She started texting me after that asking to meet up and eventually she started to say things about getting back together. It was quite satisfying breaking the news to her that i had started to date someone else.

I'm starting to think that ALL balding 20something guys' girlfriends receive some kind of peer pressure into cheating/dumping them.

I now realize how bad it is to be engaged to a balding guy from the pov a normal girl: mockery from friends, and those 'you deserve better' talks. Bald is ugly.

Im starting to think that my GF is experiencing that pressure too. I don't want her to feel bad or be mocked by her friends. If I don't respond to treatment, ill give up on romantic relationships out of respect of myself and of the girls. No one deserves a balding, ugly, old looking guy.

Women care about status (as do men): so to know that someone is lowering your status is pretty crushing. I think the longer they think about it the more it gets in the way of the relationship.

I remember dating a fat girl when I was younger and a few people said to me I could do loads better. I was quite happy with the girl but the more I thought about it the more it worried me. Sooner or later I began to look out for her faults and after a few weeks i'd decided to dump her myself.

One of my worst times with hair loss was when I first noticed it a year ago.... very shocking and crippling at age 17

Other times are whenever I go to get a hair cut ( I really hate doing that)

Also just have anxiety about it in general and not attempting to be socail because I figure I will be bald in 3 years ...

Cut your own hair - go on youtube and see diy haircut for men.

Its saved me £10 per month.

On a side note: when I started losing hair at 21 I thought I would be bald at 25. I'm now 30 and just shy off a nw3. So you should know that for a lot of people to lose your hair can take decades.

its like a slow death for me. i started losing at 17 but wont be norwood 7 till i get to my 40s. weird. constant but slow. i pray to god some of these new treatment come out soon. though if nothing does come out soon i will just accept it and shave it when i hit my late 30s. joe rogan style.

I figure I will be bald early because of my extreme hair loss genetics and because it started so early, but it certainly is a nice thought that I wouldn't be bald by 25. The worst part for me is that even if someone finds me attractive now I won't even feel good about myself because I know they wouldn't (or won't) find me attractive once I lose my hair. I dont have some amazing hair style but I am somewhat who needs hair to look good.

I wish I could lose at a slow rate like you but most of my family history is completely bald by early- mid 20s. idk what I can even do about that.
