you know what pisses me off?! guys who...

[DeuceWillis]

Thanks Johny41, Im glad my optimism can be of some help to someone. I've spent a lot of time down in the dumps over this so I hope people don't take it like I'm just completely cool with the situation. BUT, I believe with a good attitude and persistence, anything can be overcome. With that being said I would also like to apologize to NOhairNOlife. I had no business attacking your post in the way I did and I'm sorry man. We had probably both had a bad day when you made the thread and I acted very rudely. NOhair, whatever route you decide to take to overcome this problem, I wish you nothing but the best man. Take care guys. -Deuce

It's not bc I love hair loss and I'm perfectly ok with it, no it's bc I'm NOT going to let it stop me.

Very inspirational! You are right, society treats you in the way you allow it. If your self perception is high, the same will be the attitude.

Well I can assure you sir, I WISH I was a NW1 or 2. Probably somewhere between an extremely thin 4 or 5. And I'll say it again: Life is every bit of what YOU make it. I have a great life, hair loss bothered me for a long two years. And screw that I'm not living in shame and depression over something I can't control. I Shave my head, I'm working out more now, I've got a drop dead gorgeous girlfriend, I'm in a badass band and I have a ton of friends. You know why? It's not bc I love hair loss and I'm perfectly ok with it, no it's bc I'm NOT going to let it stop me.

If I saw you on the street and I couldn't tell you were balding, you ain't losing your hair. Lol I'm a mother effin Norwood spotter man. Also if people can't tell you're balding and you have THAT much hair, why would someone buzzing their head bother you? It's not like your bald! And no I won't spare the life is what you make it bs, you know why? It's goddamn fact.

Okay you'd be able to tell I'm losing my hair, but the average person may not.
Lol I've become a norwood spotter too. It's actually become a weird obsession. I always try to determine how many men are bald, anywhere I am. It's actually become very annoying habit, damn OCD.

[Johny41]

There's not really a paradox in this case. If you asked the NW1's that shave their heads to a #1 guard whether they want to be bald, you can be almost sure they will say "No". Like Jack already said, they aren't slick bald, they just buzzed it.

I didn't meant NW1's, I was talking about those guys who buzz cut or shave their good hair intentionally.

It seems like a lot of the people who say things like "life is what you make it" are the people who have barely any hair loss at all, like NW2 or NW3. I want to see an NW6 guy say something like that.

[DeuceWillis]

Spare me with this life is what you make it BS.

And you make a valid point it is their hair and they can't help it anymore than we can. I guess I'm just pissed off at the irony of it. Guys that have hair want to look bald and the guys that are bald want that hair. I guess it speaks to human nature, we always want what we can't have.

if you saw me on the street you wouldn't think I'm balding (I shudder just reading that friggin word). Yes I'm vain, I don't think anybody looks good bald or shaved head.

And although that's my screen name, I'm not just sitting at home sulking. I just thought I can come to a place that people would understand my frustration more. But I guess not.

I have recently heard a joke about women: 'Women with long hair, tend to cut it short; Women with short hair, wish to extend it. Blondes, dye it in a dark color. Women with dark hair, become blonde.'

Now I understand that this paradox, is applied not only to women, but also to us men.

Shave their heads, who are not losing their hair.
I have a couple of buddies who shave their head down to a number 1 (with a clipper), meanwhile I have to grow my hair longer and do a faux-hawk thing which looks ridiculous. It really pissed me off that they have all their hair and they want to look like bald men. This ****ing world is so ironic.

How is it ironic if a NW1 shaves his head? they are not going for a 'bald' look, they don't have a slap head do they? Their face is still framed by the hair it is completely different

[thejack]

This is a ridiculous thread guys come on

[Illusion]

Tbh this doesn't annoy me at all. What does annoy me is seeing NW1's with thick hair. Why them and not me? I'd much rather be surrounded by NW1's who shave their heads than NW1's rocking all kinds of cool hair styles.

Too be honest, I very very rarely see a man in my country that has great hair and shaves it off. And even so, you still see the hair line, ask them if they truly want to be bald and you are likely to hear no. At least I have yet to meet a man with great hair that wish to be bald.

And it's their choice to cut it short or shave it off. They got the freedom to choose. Bald people don't got the freedom, they are forced, and being completely bald does look different from having full head of hair and shaved.


I don't really share the same exact frustration I guess, for me it is that the freedom is slowly being taken away. The hair loss in my family is quite slow... so I am still positive about further treatments can save me, and I don't think I have to rely on a cure, tho I do think that will come in my life time as well. Time will tell.

Good luck guys.

Look buddy, I wasn't trying be dismissive. I just think life is what you make it. I'm bald as f**k. Do I think it's a little ironic that we wish we had hair and some who have a full head want to shave? Hell yes I do. But it's an understood fact that all of us get frustrated when guys shave a full head of hair. It doesn't mean we have to come here and complain about it. It's their hair and they can do what they want with it. They can't help they have a full head of hair anymore than we can help we're balding, so no need in being pissed off at them. My comment was targeted more towards this guy who indeed (according to his screen name and posts) believes that if you have no hair you have no life, which couldn't be more false.
