If people on this site saw or heard me just 3 years ago, i would probably be the very definition of everything you hate on this site

And i gotta say the worst part about going bald for me (iam 24) is knowing what i am missing, because i have lived it. If i never had the chance to live it, it would probably be easier for me (thats the way i feel)

I would rather be born without an arm, then loosing it later in my life

But at least you had some fun I hope. Got laid and got paid and all of that jazz.

Some of the kids on these boards on virgins!

They never had the chance

I'm a bit more stricter on that scale though, I agree with the lower end of the scale (1-5), but some of the 9's should be 8's or 7's etc.

5-7 is hard to define in an incremental matter and 8,9 and 10 seem redundant.

I totally get it, and sorry if came off as arrogant, not my meaning!

My point was just, that in my opinion, you cant really miss what you haven't had - like i cant really miss the sweet salty breeze of the Caribbean ocean, because i never felt it - however i can feel bad about probably never going to feel it and i get that it can be pretty though as well, but it doesnt "change" your life radically

They say ignorance is bliss and I agree to some extent because we see others and compare ourselves to them, we can relate so it's not all or nothing. This is why living alone like an hermit away from the sources of frustration is the only way if you reach the breaking point.

Agree, unfortunately we live if a time, where its almost impossible to just that because of social media, the yuppie culture coming back. the liberal mentality etc. etc.

Being a recluse isn't all bad... keeps you away from the extreme stupidity of the general public.

Yeah, it makes sense.

Its a bit like asking what is worse: being a millionaire and then living off £25,000 per year, or living off £25,000 per year to living off £10,000 per year?

If attractive men lose their hair and fall significantly down the 1 - 10 scale it is a freaking nightmare. You go from being rock star popular where women are hitting on you all the time to being ignored by women. It's a totally new world.

Haha exactly - if you were good looking and hair loss really effected your looks it would be so depressing!

I guess its the same with women - say the hot cheerleader getting fat is worse then a nobody plain jane getting fat.

Of course.

It is irrelevant who has it worse. The only thing that matters is how much it bothers you as an individual. Our willingness to empathize with others shouldn't rely on on our own assessment of the enormity of their problem. It should instead rely on the pain that they are experiencing. I wish people who don't see baldness as a problem would instead focus on the amount of mental pain it causes to people who experience it.

This is true I mean there are people that lose a limb and bounce back into life making it look effortless and then there are many i am sure we don't see committing suicide.

2000 women in his bed!

Like I said before, there are guys who get lots of women. Some of those guys lose their hair.
And if one of those guys loses his hair and shows up here you would assume he's had the same experience
with women that you've had with women. But you would be wrong and you wouldn't really know for sure what his past experience with women was like. But he would know for sure.

You rate all men's experience with women based on your experience with women as if all men have the same
experience with women. But they do not.

The guy who's just above average in looks and doing well because his looks are more than good enough.

He goes from a satisfying life to possibly being repulsive to women.

The 6/10 guy who becomes a 3/10 due to hair loss and exaggerated facial features that makes him look like an alien. It can happen, and I imagine the devastation.

This is the kind of guy who loses the most.

Good-looking guys like Kelly Slater or Billy Zane go from being gods to still being in a pretty good place, 9/10 to 7/10 or they become above average themselves. They don't lose their ability to get love, a good social life, employment perspectives, etc.

The easiest is for the short ugly out-of-shape 4/10 who becomes a 2/10, his quality of life isn't going to change much.

Pretty much nothing before in terms of dating prospects, and nothing after.

You assume you know what things are like for everyone else.

For example, you say Billy Zane has dropped from 10/10 to 7/10 but that's ridiculous. He's OK for a bald guy but he's no 7. You know hes a star so you are scoring him higher for that reason but if he was some nobody out in the clubs looking for love he would go home empty handed almost every night, if not every night. Women do not like bald guys. Bald guys can't be 7s unless they're rich and famous. And those rich and famous bad guys moved up to a 7 more for being rich and famous thing than for the way they look.

I like reading your perspective, nameless.
