Why Bald People Will Never Ever Win

Something a friend said in two different days.

Age: 30+
gender: F

Day 1: "why would X have a hair transplant? Can't he accept growing old like everyone else?"

Day 2: "Y, the bald guy? No, I would never date him. He is bald.'

...FML

This is it right here

It's why the best thing a man afflicted with male pattern baldness can do is treat his hairloss and never speak of it

The silent battle is all we have

I know you mean well but I said baldness being unattractive, not being a limiting factor for dating. Girls may compromise on balding if settling or if they like the guy a lot - still it's not seen as attractive. Now yea there are some guys that look just as hot bald, but most don't.

There is no debate. Baldness deteriorates looks. The impact of hair loss goes well beyond dating life. Psychological impact can sometimes be devastating and can rob you of happiness. The other day, after jogging, I went to a mall to buy an iPhone for my brother. I noticed that in one of the mirror my hair looked thin. It was probably due to a combination of wind and sweat during jogging. Anyway. I got really stressed, immediately exited the mall came home and took shower. My hair looked fine after shower and my mood was back to normal.

I am dating right now and really like my girl friend so I don't really care about other women. And yet the possibility of deterioration of my hair puts me into panic mode.

sexual attraction is all about vanity otherwise we would all be bisexual (personality over looks)
prove me wrong

I don't think it's vanity. It's natural selection and genes. People are attracted to what they are attracted to. I have never understood why being attracted to "intelligence" is looked at as something admirable whereas choosing someone for their looks is scoffed at. The truth is there is no difference between being attracted to some one for their "looks" or "intelligence" or "personality". It's your personal preference or choice. "Intelligence" is an attribute, just like "beauty". The only difference between "beauty" and "intelligence" is that one is physical attribute and the other is a mental. But they are still attributes.

It's the panic which sets in with hair loss and makes you take stock of everything. I don't blame you for thinking that in the moment, but your hair is good mate.

Thanks bro. It's always good to hear comforting words like these. In the past few weeks yours and @DoctorHouse 's words have boosted my confidence and morale quite a bit.

 

[pjhair]

Last time I saw your face you looked very good ^^ (just a reminder)

Thanks Pas!

Take one day at a time. Enjoy the now. You have great hair and are very good looking. Not only that but you are very intelligent. If your new girlfriend does not work out just remember it was for your own protection. I really think you are going to be able to hold on to your hair very similar to me.

 

[Chromedome1990]

but I would not turn down a guy because he is bald or balding if I like him and if he still looks good to me.

How can he still look good if he's balding? I'm also very much in doubt you wouldn't actually turn down a balding guy.

I really appreciate your kind words!

 

[Chromedome1990]

Some guys still look good even if balding. I don't doubt it affects their self image a lot though.
You doubt that even though I lost 60% of my hair myself! that's serious doubt right here

Women can't be hypocrites, i.e. land whales wanting a Greek god?

 

[Roberto_72]

Roberto, she's older as way, sill the thinking never changes, especially with attractive women. I'm glad many women that I know aren't hypocrites and directly say baldness is very unattractive. I've also heard them say he should fix this or he's going to be in trouble, say

I see your point but the point I was trying to make was lost in translation.
And not even @Pasbrillantebrunette understood what I wanted to convey. My fault.
Me, I don't particularly care for what a certain person thinks of baldness: some women can admit they could date bald people, some not, it is not of my concern.

What I wanted to underline is that bald people are not allowed to try to escape their destiny even though everyone knows they have it bad.
This person I know is positive baldness sucks yet denies men are right to try and escape it by a rather simple surgery.
Why?

 

[Roberto_72]

Well... doubt me if you want, what can I say! I very well know most girls would reject a bald guy or at least not primarly look at such guy, but I am only speaking for myself here.
Trust me I am not trying to flat anyone's ago around here, I am balding myself and have other shitty genetic things going on, so I really don't give a f***.

I believe you. However you should also remember you are a fine soul. It is not like the world is full of people like you. Most girls are vain as most men are pigs.

 

[Dontwannabeabetabob]

Comes to no surprise. I lol when women say they aren't visual like men, in my opinion women are much more so, but it's the fear of being called shallow that most fear. What I've found it takes to get to truth out of women in regards to looks is getting them at the most vulnerable moments, preferably after sex. Numerous conversations with women that I've had in vulnerable moments all reveal the same - baldness, face, height, money, weight, muscle; the things most of us here know are key factors in sexual attraction, all that are devastating for a male. As a man you CONSTANTLY need to be on top of your game.

Key difference:
Female attractiveness is based on good features
Male attractiveness is based on a lack of bad features

If you’re aggressively balding at an young age and you don’t respond to treatments (or get sides), and you don’t have redeeming qualities like 6’3+ or Freddie Ljungberg tier face then it’s over for you.

You’re officially an old man in your teens or twenties. You missed out on what is supposed to be the greatest time of your life, and you might never recover from being excluded and therefore not developing along with your peers. No parties for you, no careless trips with your bros, no drinking at the beach, no relationships, no one night stands etc. Activities such as these revolve around one thing: getting girls.
These are situations where you just don’t belong as a baldtie, like a blind man at a cinema.

If you truly are an old man (like many of you here) it doesn’t matter that much, you’ll just be a lot uglier, not ostracized from your peers.

RIP In Peace.

You an oldcel too?

My hair is at least 40. My passport says 23, verging on oldcel status. It’s going to be nice to be just another ugly cueball instead of a freak.

Why?

Because females want only the top tier sperm. Essentially, once subpar genes have manifested themselves, you are forever marked in the eyes of women.

Not blaming the women BTW. It's just the brutal evolution game.

Dear GOD, you're only 23?!

Your writing skills are absolutely amazing considering your age,; mind blowing actualy considering you being a non-native English speaker.

What is your IQ?

I'm super envious man!
