Literally got made fun of, and told by couple guys that I need SMP.

[FlightTL]

@flight don"t go down The smp route. I"ve seen so many postings were The colors turn greenish Blue. Also, i doubt in person it looks as good as in pictures.

honestly just try to get as swoll as you can, get some ink, and you will be good.

You could be in my situation, had a ht at 19 and destroyed my Hair. Had two more thinking i could fix it but just causing more shockloss. Now i have a 30,000 combover that looks like shit, whrn before i use to wear any style i wanted.
Cause of my Hair i quit playing ball(i was at a d1school) and Work 7 days a week to pay off these loans. But i only Work The overnight shift so no one ask about my Hair. Worst of all i don"t even know if The future hm will Work on me now.

So don"t feel so bad. I don"t want to make this about me, i just want to show you it could be worse. Just keep working out and you will be good man.

Did you get FUE by any chance. I thought the white dots were not too visible even at a #1. I guess I could be wrong. They probably are visible and on top of that, there could be a moth eaten appearance with FUE.

Flight, you mentioned that you have tried growing facial hair and were told that you still look bad. I would say even if that is the case, do what makes you look better. If having facial hair makes you look better than completely shaven then grow a goatee or whatever. All you can do is work with what you have. I would rather look bad, than worse, if that makes sense.

Clean shaven works best for me. Maybe a slight 5'oclock shadow. I shave every other day.

@Hellouser: I agree. Although I look fine bald and am perfectly happy with my looks, I can't stand when people mock bald celebrities or politicians. By doing so, indirectly, they are mocking all the baldies by treating it as an inferior trait.

Oh well, at least we have sooooo many researchers out there working in a solution for us.... right? /sarcasm

Nobody gives a shit to help us. Society would rather have us stay bald. Positional good theory at it's best.

[OrdinaryUser]

And remember, they will probably start to lose their hair too one day.

Yes, this is a nice fact to remember: 50-70 percent of men start to go bald in their 30's, and this percentage only increases with time. They'll be in the same position not too far out.

It's not society's responsibility to fix problems or be kind, it's to perform cold, evolutionary valuations, and select the best possible mate to reproduce with. Balding indicates senescence, which indicates lower reproductive fitness. It sucks it has to manifest itself early in some, but what can you do.

Take it out on society or find a solution yourself, because NOBODY gives a damn about us.

True, they do not give a damn. If they have hair, they couldn't care less. The real solution would be collectively pulling together and addressing these problems of aging with ample funding, etc. But I just am not too optimistic. We can try to only arrest the balding process, and only hope that a team of scientists somewhere make breakthroughs in the coming years, ideally at the stem cell level rather than the superficial treatments that exist now.

FlightTL, You are way too nice. You need to work on your comebacks. If somebody made fun of me and told me to get SMP, I would have told them off at the very least. You should have jumped all over their looks and physique.

Thanks cat man... They definitely had the upper hand. Any comeback would have had more insults thrown my way.

I don't know about telling them off. I was rock climbing with friends and my "buddy" commented about my thinning around a bunch of women. I had to options. 1. Act like it bothered me. 2. Blow it off. Anyway I replied that heart disease runs in my family, lets hope I don't get that one. sometimes people will use your genetic faults for a crutch in their own life.

Easier said than done but take the high road

Yup
We have a guy @ work , in his mid 50's, teases everyone about anything .
Yet this fellow has acne scars from his youth and wears dentures .

Sometimes better to ignore if you can but at some point maybe you need to address when people make comments .
