Why I Look Forward To The Weekends Now

[Exodus2011]

Hey, @Exodus2011 did you see the total eclipse in your area?

it wasn't in my area. close to it, but not in my area haha

i noticed no change where i was

 

[Baldingat188]

Yeah, balding = being the Elephant Man.

Please. If you choose to hide, how do you convince yourself that you're not a coward?

Because make no mistake, that's what you are, we know it and you perfectly know it.

At least I kept my self-respect when I lept on showing up at university with my slick NW5 for the world to see.

Sporting that head of hair:

At the age of 22.

What would you have done in my shoes OP? You want to try to put some concealer on that head of hair?

Pretending a problem is not there, even for one second is always a terrible strategy and it just doesn't work.

Ask any qualified psychologist.

Trying to bend the fabric of reality comes with a price, and you're going to have to pay for it at a point.

I think it's great if you can pull it off without a hat. Yes it takes more courage and is less stressful in the long run. But if I get to nw5 + given my baby face and weird head shape I'll either become a hat prisoner or a hair peice. ( I will try treatments / transplants first but I'm talking once all options are tried) . It also helps that in the US hats are very commonplace outdoors and even in colleges. The worst part of being a hat prisoner is the shock factor or people asking you to remove your hat . And it sucks but I'd still take it over walking around slick bald , at least given my situation.

As @shookwunThey say it's the baseball culture, I say it's an elaborate conspiracy that the bald society concocted to hide their thinning hair.

Yeah but you fail to appreciate the impact that American sports have on the culture.

In Europe, football supporters wear scarfs.

Because they are girlie-men. (joking)

f***, that's not preventing my head from being a beacon of light in the stadium.

Yeah I caught a break being in the u.s., I can wear a hat almost inconspicuously.....Although the dreaded hat questions do come up on dates.

Speaking of concocted, I'll wear hats on dates, no shame, give yourself the best chance. BUT, I'll have the hat off when wed first meet (if it's an online date of course), because my hair will look is absolute best, THEN I'll put it on. This is so I don't get the question (which I wold have) later, n it doesn't look like a greasy rats nest when I have to take it off, impromptu, with no chance to f*** with it.

Whoever wants to use this tactic can lift it, it works, very well haha.

To be honest I'd feel pretty ridiculous doing this too. With wearing a hat from the get go, most women will definitely pick up on our thinly veiled deceptive "tactic", but at least there's the facade of "hey I just happened to be wearing a hat today, it's fashion and that yknow?". Both parties can at least cope with such an obvious elephant in the room.

But arriving without your hat on, holding your hat I guess? Or sitting it beside you waiting for it to be dispatched. Getting the greeting done and then, putting a hat on?

There's not even a pretence to fall back on here, it's beyond blatant. It's just "well I guess he doesn't want me to see his baldness anymore".

Haha, its all in the execution, and of course how bad you have it. Mine's not too bad, so it passes fairly well.

You also gotta remember, most ppl don't think of hair like we do, n since mine is only nw2ish w some diffusion in the frontal, it goes over fine.

Also, it isn't necessarily off, just on in a 70 degreeish angle, so as not f*** f*** the hair or sweat trap it, then I may off it, like I'm adjusting, n then put it back on. My hair still goes ok fallen forward. they're a norwood enthusiast like we are, they may balk, haha, but I've not had it even remotely happen. But that's probably because I have enough coverage still.

When I made the mistake of going slybaldguy at uni, there were no cueball jokes, only people with worried looks asking me:

"Bear, do you have cancer? Is that why you were in the hospital ? What happened to your hair?!"

Never again, I always rocked the grandpa horseshoe after that. Do not shave it all off. Unless you're black.

The thing is, you didn't beard compensate.

Same it just got slightly darker . I thought Sc was supposed to be good for it though lol

As @shookwun also pointed out, if you're going to wear a hat in Europe, you're going to stand out like a sore thumb.

You just don't do that around here. I was in Chicago for a day a few months ago and I was shocked by how many men were wearing caps.

They say it's the baseball culture, I say it's an elaborate conspiracy that the bald society concocted to hide their thinning hair.

Well done.

shookwun approved

You'd be surprised though to see a college campus here . I would actually say hats are in style espically in that niche of people . You can even spots Chads with thick hair in ball caps

Of course older guys wear hats also , but it makes more sense because a large portion of them are doing it to cover their hairloss

 

[CaptainForehead]

LOL I have NONE of the features required to look even human as a bald guy.

nate in the office had a hat on for a long while when first introduced

I can't pull off being Norwood 4-5 now, you can imagine how I'd look with no hair. All users said I look like sh*t with a buzzcut due to facial features and headshape, with a shaved head I'll be a freak.

In my imagination, you're Chad, bro

i know who you are talking about

In Halloween the original I thought they flashed on his face when he jumps over car from the psych ward and he was normal looking face. I don't remember him as ugly. Don't remember if he gets deformed or not.

The mask he uses I think was a William shatner face

My avatar is the closest thing to a self-portrait I could find. Quite accurate.

 

[Baldingat188]

If you look like Wiedman, are 6'5@235 , I don't think you look bad at all with that haircut. Dont let hair bother you; I wish you could see yourself as others see you.

Can you dye your hair?

Also, congrats on pulling that face and that height in the gene lottery.

Right?

Macro is a stud . Even the fact you say your "ok with walking around bald" is huge ... at least you won't look like a midget alien
