Life isn't worth living if you're bald.

[Munkynutz]

I actually don't even believe we can properly discredit Hollywood here, there's more than a handful of actors who have pulled off baldness just fine. Daniel Craig is what, NW3 and hideous right?

Maybe I have you wrong and you are just completely hideous. I wouldn't rate myself as a gorgeous man by any stretch of the imagination, have a scar on my chin no-one gives a crap about, good eyes I guess and decent features but still no trouble at work (and have often excelled past my extremely well haired friends and co workers because quite frankly I am better at work and quicker witted). Some of this is personality though no doubt.

[Munkynutz]

I don't know what planet you work on but hot damn that just isn't the case where I am from.

Yes it doesn't hurt to not be ugly, but an ugly person being linked to drugs and depression and lack of ability to do their job??? Give me a break.

How many drop dead gorgeous CEO's do you see kicking around? Managers? They're just normal people. Some have hair, a lot do not. A lot are not in good shape, a lot don't bother to dress properly.

You're going to tell me that hair loss impeded many of the coaches in sports? Or maybe hindered Warren Buffet from being the wealthiest man on this planet on a few occasions? Bill Gates maybe... Carlos Slim? HEck even people like Vladmir Putin?

There are tons of bald/balding people who have risen to the top. As far as I can tell the only industries where it may be a hinderence exist in Hollywood. Or similar fields. This planets top scientists and engineers seem to be lacking LOTS of hair hahaha, heck every German who comes to work on the high tech production equipment at my job is successful and THEYRE ALL BALD!!!!

Also if you have good looks and a movie star head of hair you will usually have more opportunities in life. We are not talking about meaningless things like hot girls, were talking about life ambitions and opportunities.

Upon first impression If someone sees a bald ugly guy they automaticaly classify him as unsuccessful, depressed, drug problem.

On the other hand someone with a full head of healthy hair and good looks can hide thier drug problem, and people think hes more successful.

First impressions are very important. And yes its true that ~%75 of men are balding, but that means if you are one of the lucky %25 who have hair you will have more opportunities in life, jobs, occupation, girls, feel better about yourself. These internal feelings make you feel good or bad about your self, and it also reflects on your personality and well being.

I agree with the 18 year olds no doubt. Because it isn't normal to be bald at that age, and yes to begin with it makes you look older (and then later in life makes you look younger because of the lack of grey hairs and natural thinning process typically found in all men), and while I did have a few girlfriends then I certainly was not a woman picking up machine. That came later in life when I had matured and had things like cars and money. No I am not a millionaire, I just mean a steady respectable income.

After girls become women and have some experience in life and have become accustomed to guys losing their hair this isn't anywhere near as serious an offense. In fact some weirdly enough like bald patches and shaved heads but whatever. The woman debate can continue forever but if you think all bald guys live life without women you're cracked.

I also don't think bald guys need to try harder, they just need the confidence. You probably know meek minded people who can't pick up girls with gorgeous hair, and I have a few friends like that for sure. Probably also know some fairly unattractive dudes with smoking hot girlfriends but have the confidence.

If we with less or no hair have to try harder it is for ourselves and not anyone else that the greatest benefit is achieved. If you have a firm step, are in control of your life, and have some faith in yourself it works wonders on women.

This much I am sure of.

But of course if you are of the opinion life is ruined because you don't have hair or are losing it, you guys know the easy way out.
*bang bang*

Enjoy yourselves :0

[blondetooth]

Yes I agree with fred970.

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

It is not that bald men are not as capable compared to full heads of hair, its that bald men must try harder to even be on the same level as a norwood 1.

A bald guy is going to have a much harder time picking up a hot 18 year old vs a norwood 1. There is a bunch of other stuff that going to be hard for a bald guy.

[Munkynutz]

We have to do all that, it's mandatory for us, and guys with full heads of hair can just cruise through life putting 10x less efforts than us baldies and get the girls, jobs or whatever.

Not true. The reason you put in the effort is to rebuild your own confidence in yourself which clearly a lot of people who are missing their hair seem to lack. I have the joy of missing hair and having psoriasis which is actually disgusting (not like hair loss which sorry to say is pretty normal) and still don't suffer with women. Because I have moved past it. In terms of work there is no difference between a guy with hair and a guy without unless you very specifically belong to a sect of the working world that requires you look good all the time, ie: fashion industry, modelling, or acting. But your could always wear hair.

If baldness isn't a big deal and is so easy to overcome, tell me why do we have to overcompensates with character, style, confidence, being a millionaire etc. ? Explain this. Let me guess, you're not bald, you just started losing your hair and are in denial about how much hair loss is a deal breaker in every area of your life.

Nope, I've had less than perfect hair for a long period of time and been shaved on more than a few occasions and aside from my Mum no one has really complained. Granted I am not in high school and balding. If you think beyond the most superficial of relationships that being bald has any impact on your ability to achieve what you want in life there is something grievously wrong with your thought process.

I've been bald, slick NW5, intelligent (I like to think) tall charismatic guy who has his shit together. Guess what, I've been treated like crap for being bald. Newbies need to know the truth, because they'll experience it anyway, and it's stupid to feed them white lies.

Sure not having perfect hair is not awesome. I wouldn't for a second try and argue it hinders your chances with some percentage of women. But destroy your chances?? Nah, we do that ourselves. Most people suck at picking up women, even your pretty boys. It's not just limited to the balding portion of the world and I have more than enough friends in the same state as me or worse to know better. Social worth?? Not defined by hair, sorry man.

Baldness is a big deal, society despises bald men. Bald men are less attractive and often ignored by women. Bald men are less likely to get the job if in competition with NW1 men. Bald men are the target of jokes, mockery, the last bastion of political incorrectness. It's OK to mock bald men, even encouraged, "come on it's just hair!" "I'm not attracted bald men, sorry for being honest" women will tell you.

Riiiiiight.... Society hates all bald men. Correct. We can't stand it, it's nothing short of a miracle there isnf a court injunction banning it and requiring immediate execution of the folicularly challenged. Sure you may have to deal with a joke or two at your expense, how you deal with that is up to you. Fortunately I have been through childhood bullying, mockery and teasing so I have very thick skin. Explaining to someone I have a shaved head because my hair looks like hair on a pigs ass? Not so bad.

Bald men have to know their place, once you're bald, you cannot do certain things anymore. Hit on a young hot girl you like? Forget it, you'll be perceived as a creepy rapist bald guy. It saddens me to see so many NW2 guys in denial on these forums, while pretty much all the sane young bald men will tell them the same thing: balding sucks, balding is a living nightmare, balding will destroy your romantic and social worth, and there is no other way to look at it.

right again wow you're on a roll Fred hahaha. Creepy rapist bald guy. That's me for sure. I guess some women just can't wait to be raped huh?? Begging for it maybe. Funny how your posts can go from terribly positive and seemingly unconcerned to so depressed and miserable at the flick of a switch.

I for one am beginning to wonder if aside from being a wealth of knowledge and exploration in hair restoration techniques and showing results from procedures and medicated treatments whether these forums do much good for anyone at all.

Slybaldguys.com would probably be a far better place for most people here to hang out

You can overcome baldness if you work hard enough on your character, style, confidence, and skills. .

We have to do all that, it's mandatory for us, and guys with full heads of hair can just cruise through life putting 10x less efforts than us baldies and get the girls, jobs or whatever.

This thread is such bullshit, sorry I guess I'm just in a realistic mood today. Hair loss is a debilitating thing to many people (including me some days) but that doesn't mean that it should ruin your life. You can overcome baldness if you work hard enough on your character, style, confidence, and skills.

I believe balding does age you though, by looking older you don't exactly look the same with your age group so you kind of become a black sheep in a way. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I uped my style to look more classy and unique, I became more mature and judged people more kindly because of how I was judged, I've worked on my skills in multiple areas that I've mentioned before such as music, academics, certifications, etc.; my confidence improved because I stopped giving a shit about the insignificant people who try to keep me down. All in all, baldness has kind of made me a better person, it made me work around a serious problem in my life and Ive become stronger as a result. I still want my hair back, hence why I'm on the forum, but I'm not going to let this destroy me.

I'm sure this seems unnecessary but there is a lot of negativity here when things are seriously progressing, which baffles me. If I was some guy who just realized that he was losing his hair and checked out the forum to see what he could do and he sees this shit, it would really make me feel miserable.

Sex with an obese woman on the other hand isn't that great.

This is what you wanted to write, but caught yourself.

[baldozer]

You are overthinking yourself Monkeybutt.
Take two equals, fat slobs etc. whatever. The 2nd guy WITH good styled hair will pull a hotter girl.

You are also overthinking "some guys look better shaved". OK, the guy with hair always has the option to shave/ buzz it down. The bald guy doesnt.

The girl will pick a guy with hair 10 / 10 times.


It is also sad that a bald guy must compensate somehow for being a high # norwood. He is expected to workout, be rich, be confident, be an Alpha, and have a bigger penis. - Meanwhile the guy with beautiful hair can relax, sit back, and get sucked off via road head.

I don't think having hair is that big of an advantage as you are making out to be. Daily, I see plenty of ugly guys with hair, while many bald men still look great. 90% of your looks is your face. If your face is good, you can relax.

[baldozer]

There was a study where wives had to chose whether they'd prefer their husband to go bald or to become fat.

Guess which one the majority chose. That's right: fat.

Baldness is worse than being overweight. Mostly because weight can be controlled.

LOL! Link to that study? Anyway, I don't think women think about their partners in terms of sexual pleasure like we men do. Otherwise, they would have definitely chosen bald over fat. I mean, what would you chose for a wife? A curvy and fit bald woman or a fat and out of shape woman? Even if you don't like bald women, you could put a wig over her head and have fantastic sex. Sex with an obese woman on the other hand doesn't sound that great.

[Munkynutz]

The truth: almost everyone enjoys thinning hair or some degree of baldness throughout their lives and it gets progressively so as time passes. We will also go grey, lose vitality and strength, energy, and most people let themselves go.

The best counter to this = healthy diet and regular exercise, some sun, and avoid depression. Maybe avoid too many self abuses too.

Another truth: most people with or without hair absolutely suck at picking up members of the other sex. Everyone has insecurities about themselves and we are all most ruthlessly critical of our own bodies.

I have been blessed with a high hairline since I was in my teens. No bald spot, and it doesn't appear to be getting much worse but I have never loved my hair and have messed with it forever multiple times a day to keep it looking okay. And it rarely does from all angles anyway.

And of the 30 or so girlfriends I've managed to have only the ones I had when I was in my teens and early twenties said anything about my hair. Now they just don't seem to notice at all. Whether it's because I make them laugh, am self confident with or without hair, can entertain them, am self sufficient with job and place and have a decent sense of style I can't tell you.

I can't pick up every woman, in fact I'd say using dating websites I probably average 1/50 or worse, but dammit of those I am rarely dumped and if so it is totally not for my hair. Lack of time, commitment, caring sure. Hair?? Hells no.

Now if you feel you're screwed because you are losing hair and you let this damage your confidence you're right - you are. And I have many apathetic friends with full heads of hair who for various reasons have no self confidence either and guess what?? They're ewhally unattractive to women.

So hit the gym if you have to, partake in activities which make you interesting to be around, make yourself happy through whatever means you have at your disposal, constantly learn things, pick up a damn guitar - learn to fly an airplane or sky jump I don't know. Maybe sports. And you'll do juuuuuust fine.

Or you can sit around griping and watching flawless Hollywood hair on TV in a chair or on a couch and lament your life away. It really makes no difference to me:

[Munkynutz]

I will agree that when dealing with a younger said of girls that this will be a group that wants hair a lot more than the older set cares about (and by older I mean past about 26 or so), and yes you are going to have some women who badly want hair. There are also womn who love it without. I've even dated one who wanted me to shave my head sooo hmmm.

I'll also generally agree I think most people look better with hair but ask yourself this - as a guy dating women is it more important they have a great head of hair, or do you care more about the body and if the hair is messed up, maybe poorly styled, or just in a ponytail and thin or whatever... Is that better than a person with a terrible body and flawless hair?

[Munkynutz]

Hahaha okay sure. Aside from the fact that you can find studies that will tell you anything about anything fair enough. I obviously just sit at home jerking off so I have no idea what I'm talking about... Also never tried to pick up women with a shaved head so how would I know right??

Not sure I personally know any women who would rather a hideously out of shape person with awesome hair versus someone who was in good physical shape but without but again, if a study says so it MUST be true. It's a miracle bald people have girlfriends at all, right?? I mean how does it happen? They must be forced in to it or wives from Russia or something.
