Balding or Fat?

[sausage]

Actually I think that was one of the wost comments I've read here. Hair loss is not the end of the world, especially for guys. Your situation could be a lot worse. Count your blessings more than your curses.

I don't have any blessings, I have no hair and a tiny penis.

I don't have any blessings, I have no hair and...

Don't think like that. You do have blessings. You will be able to see them if you open your eyes and try.

You talk a lot about having HT surgery but what have you actually done to address your hair loss? Have you been in to see a doctor yet?

Sorry that previous comment was a joke, I thought it would make Folly laugh.

LOL yes I went and saw a doctor 11 years ago about my hairloss.

So I definately got that step out the way lol.

Sorry I didn't realize it was a joke. I don't always get guy humor and I sometimes have blonde moments.

Anyways, eleven years ago was a long time. A lot has changed since then. Eleven years ago I thought I was cursed to wearing wigs for the rest of my life. Now I do not need to wear a wig anymore - unless I want to, which is almost never.

Obviously hair loss really bothers you - and I completely understand that, probably much more than you realize. I think it would be a good idea to go talk to a doctor again.

Welp. This thread is depressing. Apparently we're worse than fat people. Hurrah.

Don't buy into that notion.

Don't buy into that notion.

I realize it may not be entirely true. Regardless, it is hard not to become markedly depressed about hair loss sometimes.

[Tracy C]

Trust me. I know.

Personally, I'd rather be bald and in relatively good shape. Barring any medical condition; maintaining a decent level of physical fitness (doesn't have to be ripped) is something you can control and improve upon for the rest of your life.

Like many of you here, I've scoured over hundreds of hair transplant photos and what gets me every time is a horribly out of shape person spending thousands of their hard earned dollars on a hair transplant when they devote very little time improving on other aspects of their appearance. In my mind it is the equivalent of putting really expensive rims on a crappy old car.

I'm not intending to be cruel or judgmental. I know as well as the next hair loss sufferer that hair loss can zap motivation to nothing. I can see how easy it might be for a person to develop the mentality that without hair getting or staying in shape is pointless.

As good as shape as you might be in, you're still bald/balding and that is something many people will not be able to look past..especially in the dating scene. Maybe the new hair and the confidence it will bring will be the spark that ignites the fire of personal change.

Just make sure you don't end up bald and fat, then your definately screwed.

[clandestine]

Or famous?

Well there is one guy at work who's in his mid 30s and has been totally slick bald for years. But he has one hot wife! He has the best looking wife of anyone I know and he's just average looking. He keeps in shape too.

I'd say being in shape easily trumps baldness! I think most girls don't care as much as men think they do.

When I was 24 (and not balding yet) I used to work part-time - to finance my studies - at a big office space through a recruitment bureau. While I worked there, there was this girl/woman who was 7 olders than me and worked on the same floor. She was like ridiciously fit and she was dating this bald guy who worked at the same company. A year later after my contract expired, the recruitment bureau asked me back to work there and this time aorund she was dating another bald guy. Neither one of them were super-goodlooking.

Just to say; I'm pretty certain there are girls who don't like bald guys, while there are others who specifcally dig bald heads, while another kind don't seem to care at all.

We all prefer to be fat instead of bald because we can change being fat, not being bald.

But If I were to choose between a genetic disease which would't allow me to lose weight and being fat for the rest of my life, or the genetic disease that is mpb; I'd take baldness any day of the year. No doubt about it.

i am sure there are online dating sites for bald men, but theres probably a load of butt ugly women on them.

...but theres probably a load of butt ugly women on them.

Ugly girls need love too you know... So do bald girls... Trust me when a girl has a problem with hair loss, she feels very ugly - even if she really isn't.
