Baldness bullies

[Kirby_]

If there is anything that makes hair loss even more difficult it's the thuggery of the Baldness Bullies, the ones who are the majority in society who tell you, hair loss is untreatable, shave your head if you have any slightly visible level of thinning/hairloss, become a shaven thug, another valueless bald man without a struggle.

Yep - A lot of hair bullies out there - only a matter of time till they potentially start to lose their own hair however and then they will know the devastation and isolation involved.

Very good point, but I'm mostly thinking of the already heavily balding who want to drag everyone down with them, even people who have the possibility of holding back the MPB process.

The worse offenders are the ones who spent countless hours posting on balding forums criticizing others about their obsession with hair loss. The guys who have thousands of posts lecturing others to get over it and shave their heads. If they are dealing with hair loss so well, what are they doing here day after day.

Exactly!

The other sort are the anti-fin lot who ridicule people who can tolerate fin over the course of many years and have posted 'success story' photographs, and target any visual imperfections.

I'm one of the shave your head types. I'll tell you why I'm on here though. I have never spent any money on trying to keep my hair. I noticed I my hair was "changing" when I was about 19 but my diffuse loss was slow until I was into my 30s. Yes, it was tramatic thinking I was going bald at a young age and my grandfather had been bald since he was 19. I kept going though, kept chancing my arm with women and remaineda confident guy (if a little pissed off at mother nature).

Remembering my feeling when I thought I was going to be totally bald at 20 or so I am on here to find out about cures so that I can help me son. My son is young but quite vain and I know hair loss will crush him far more than it did me. I hope he can just shave his head but if not >>>>>

That's why I'm here.

Baldness Bullies.

Coin that term.

It blows my mind that there exists dudes on this forum that would prefer to mislead and condescend troubled, new members on their hair loss because they're too afraid to try fin or have let their own hair slip away.

There are a few on this forum. I am glad you brought this up Kirby. I have been standing up to them for a while.

They come here to rain on everyones parade . They tell you that you have no hope, medication will ruin your life, and you might as well shave your head .

You see, there is no hope for them, so they want no hope for anyone else either.

hope this helps

The difference is you dont come here every day to rain on anyones hope of medication or transplant or whatnot. I appreciate your story. Nothing wrong with saying your story , but there are guys going around making up lies and telling everyone they speak for the majority of men.

The ones on forums can be bad, but not like someone you know in real life. Almost no one knows I have this condition but I will never forget confiding in my father about it, and about going on medication, and he basically says "get over it, move on" (He is almost 60 with a full head of hair)
I swear I could have told him to go **** himself. Easy for him to pass judgment when he has less hair loss than someone not even half his age. I wonder if someone without genetic hair loss can ever understand how it feels unless they actually experience it too?

Yeah, like most things, it's incredibly difficult for people to even fake empathy if they haven't genuinely been afflicted. I just don't care to burden my bald dad with my worries, and all of my bald friends don't mind their hair loss.

I have to disagree. I have never met anyone who liked their hair loss. They learned to accept it., especially in public, but in private it eats away at them.

We all have insecurities that eat away at us. I cant see a bald guy thinking that his bald head is an ASSET to his looks.

I dont think people will start partying once they lose their hair. I mean I was all over the place emotionally, but once I calmed down, you sort of put things in perspective. Some bald guys might not like it, but they cope around it, depends what you want in life I guess.

Ah, the baldness bullies, the 'fashion police' of the hair loss world. In spirit, they have much in common with any follower of the latest fads of the crowd, except they tend to be ugly like us and can't pull off their chosen look.

They're quite easy to spot in public too. Fake tan (or tanning salon brown, as if the increased pancreatic cancer risk wasn't enough for them), a tight t-shirt on their 'roided up body and a shiny head and they think they've cracked it. I guess they have if they want to convince people that they're straight off an aeroplane from Guantanamo Bay. The really sad thing about them is that they must spend far more time on their looks than someone who pops finasteride but they remain ugly as ****.

Me? I recommend a very different approach. One of the solutions will be out there soon enough whether its Aderans or Histogen or whatever. It will be too late for me to ever experience what being young is like now but at least I'll enjoy my 40s (and maybe even some of my 30s). I could while away the waiting time pumping iron in the gym, getting a fake tan and shaving my head but with the hour or two I save a day I instead spend my time studying and investing so I'll be able to afford the cure! All those gym memberships, razors and super orange tan are a squanderance.

My hair (what's left of it) is unkempt. My head won't look good shaved (no one's ever does) and I'd only do it for the benefit of others. I don't like other people so it's a no brainer really. I could worry what other's think, but most people I know are stupid and I have nothing but contempt for what they think or do in pretty much every other facet of their lives.

This might all sound messed up but this is the honest truth:

1) Since I stopped giving a damn about other people, my income has doubled;

2) Since I stopped worrying about what other people think, I've saved a lot of time that can be put to better use;

3) I realised what made me miserable was not the ostracism that comes with baldness but the waiting for the other idiots to **** off and leave me alone. Little to no human contact is bliss; I have never been happier.

DISCLAIMER: Works better on introverts!
