Why Do People Start To Think You Are A Pedo If You Are Balding Or Have A Receded Hairline

It may be because I have long hair but I have noticed that unless you Bic your head, some ignorant people will start to make pedo jokes about you if you have a receded hairline or are balding. Which really disgusts the Hell out of me both because I hate child molesters and would never be one and because I can't control my hairloss. Anyways, has anyone else ran into people like this?

My Dad was once asked to leave a swimming pool because some mother was scared he was a pedophile. He was there with his 5 kids. He's way beyond the point of giving a f*** and just laughed when the lifeguard asked him to leave. Said "you can ring the police if you like, I'm staying with my kids".

I wouldn't have laughed it off if I was your dad. Anyone would want to avoid humiliating moments like these.

Me neither, even as a kid it made me feel awkward. Why was my Dad being treated like this? If I had been with my friends I'd probably have been mortified and got slagged for it.

Easy, they think that now, as grown women will never have sex with you again, your only way to ever get sexual contact again is to force a helpless underage girl to have sex with you.

That's what goes on in their minds.

This is initially what sprang to my mind actually.

However, thinking it through, there's too much logic involved here, when compared to the thought process of the average person when it comes to baldness. While your point makes perfect sense, and there may be a slight element of this involved in someone's thinking, overall I think @Dante92 's point is much simpler, but much more accurate.

There's an instant dis-trust towards ugliness, un-natural looking thinning, diffusing, receding hair, especially on a young guy, as the combination of an older person's trait on a younger face is even more rare and confusing for people to piece together. And with the scrambled mind, in figuring out the aesthetics of this person, further dis-trust ensues.

So thinking his tactic of getting laid is to pick on the vulnerable and defenceless instead of seeking consent from an actual woman, it's secondary and redundant, not remotely near the forefront of a person's mind when piecing together the situation of a bald guy around children. The thought of him even thinking about trying to get with an actual woman doesn't even register as even a laughable thought, it simply doesn't register at all.

What does come to mind is- he's instantly distrustful and inferior, he's around children, put two and two together.

That's all, your point (which I'm not saying is wrong or anything) may come at a much later stage if someone could even be bothered to think of it, but the basic groundwork is all there, and all based on superficiality. Bare basic aesthetic judgement, putting situations and context behind that is practically irrelevant.

I've got kids. One day I took them to the park on a nice day. The cops were apparently called on me...I asked the officers why they were detaining me in front of my kids and they replied, "oh we didn't know these were your kids. A lady called and said you looked like you were a potential predator." Yes you read that right, a potential PREDATOR. All because I'm a young N4A headed to NW8 and I wanted to enjoy the day with my kids.

You're great at comedy.

Thank God you're back to making insightful (objective) observations.
This is the h.l. I want.

Even as a suffering norwood 3 who feels like too much of a piece of sh*t to have sex without a fuking hairline anymore I still have internalised hatred for bald people and think they look like dirty creepers. It is in human nature to despise balders

Don't be like that, man. I'm also a Norwood 3 and have been for over three years and in the last three years I've slept with around 10 people.

In another thread I poster their pictures and I'm sure other people will agree that they were decent looking (not stunners - but decent).

Its such a shame to write yourself off - I understand if you were a nw5 and fat or something - but if you are in decent shape, with an okay face, than Norwood 3 isn't really a deal breaker for a normal woman.

The problem is the bald spot/s, most people tolerate temple recession.

I've got a mate who is a nw2 with a bald spot at the back and he has a stunning girl friend. But he is also 6'2, on decent money, and a really interesting guy (plus, average face).

Anyway - the point is that some hair loss isn't game over even though you might think it is.

When I was a Norwood 2 I thought Norwood 3 is game over until it happened and I found out it wasn't. I cant speak for Norwood 4s and Norwood 5s so I cant say if that's the cut off point, but either way, don't worry too much at a nw3. If you can maintain it then you will be fine in the dating market.
