A parallel for hair loss: Why women hate bald men

[Highlander]

Some of you are still in denial that life is worth living after NW3, so let me clear things up for you a bit.

Imagine that women of all cup-sizes were sometimes prone to a disease which caused a rapidly accelerated sagging of the breasts. And that for some women, even by the age of 25 or 30 they would have the same sagginess as a grandmother of 90.

Now imagine that you could identify which women did or did not have this disease. That you could effectively avoid dating and marrying a women who were prone to this. Are you telling me you would still be ok marrying a woman, knowing that by 30 years of age her appearance would be totally altered and she would be rendered physically unattractive?

But there are breast lifts I hear you say! Sure, but just like HT's they only work to a point. Heck, she could even work out and develop amazing legs. But the best legs in the world won't change her saggy breasts.

Sorry gentlemen, but you know I'm right. Why do we even bother living? The Government should put a no-child policy down for balding men. It should be against the law to spread inferior and defective genes.

Women do not hate bald men.

Speak for yourself. Every girl I know makes fun of bald men under the age of forty.

A self-selected, non-random sample of one is not considered statistically significant.

Many women think bald men are sexy. Dating one now. From my experience, they are far and few. Most are not interested in dating a guy (especially young) who is losing his hair.........the Irony is that they ultimately end up married to one.

Women don't hate bald men......that's a strong word. Hell, 80% of them out there have Dad's who are most likely bald. Doubt they hate them. It's a just a personal choice. My opinion is not waste a second of your time on them in terms of dating and move on.

I am not the only one who feels that way.

This person is not a woman. She is an immature girl.

This is a very good point that these demented young guys are unable to understand because their minds are broken.

This is so true.

But then again, plenty of girls like jerks, it doesn't mean we should turn into one. The way other people think is not in our control so why bother.

No offence to anyone, but I wouldn't trust a girl's advice on this issue or anything related to this topic. They all mean well, but most of the time they are describing some balding guy (or not) who is like this awsome and nice guy that they would want to be "friends" with.

Forgive the rambling mess ahead.

At the end of the day, as a guy, blaming your grief about the loss of your hair on the behaviour of "shallow women" is a great out. It means that the angst about our hair loss is motivated by external factors, as opposed to internal ones.

That first summer when I realized I was going to go bald? It's like a Zamboni completely flattened out the...um...ice rink of my sexuality (that was the worst simile ever, sorry). I actually forgot how to sexualize myself...I felt it was an absolutely absurd idea to present myself to a woman I was attracted to when I felt like somehow, I wasn't me anymore.

I've been in relationships with several women since my hair loss began. I've been with intelligent, understanding, and pretty young women over the past two or more years. And you know what? Whenever any one of these women told me that they found me handsome, I felt like they were lying. They weren't, of course; and I know that. I'm not insane. "But in my current state, being so obviously less than I was even by a few years, how could they possibly mean such nice things?"

Be honest with yourself. You don't want your hair back so that those horrible little girls will **** you. You want your hair back so that you can feel like you again.

My ultimate dream isn't for Histogen or Aderans to come out just in time for me to tyrannize the loins of every freshman college girl I see - rather, it's to know that in my old age, I'll be able to look into the mirror and see something even remotely similar to a face I could identify with.

Actually I kind of want to look like Samuel Beckett at 75.

Well that really happens but it is no big deal. Had a gf that would give me a hard time about my hair and I would pay her back about that. But it was all in fun and nothing serious. Most adults don't care about minor stuff like that.

You would have loved one of my professors in undergrad. She was very young (`27), very attractive, and very much obsessed with cosmetic / medical surgery. There was nothing wrong with her but she told the class that even though she had small boobs she was going to need surgery to keep them from sagging when she was a little bit older. Told the guys in the class that we should consider going on medicine just as soon as we had the first signs of mpb. She would bring up the cosmetic stuff often and it was obvious she was obsessed with it.

Oh, great, we get to see all of Scoprion's posts played back, only boring this time.

I love re-runs.
