Bald men are so ugly.

[decarjos]

My mom's friends used to laugh at me, both adult males and females, and say 'this old man looks ugly' or 'you'll never get a woman'.

Sounds like you surround yourself with a**holes

[decarjos]

Add me to the bald moody guys with hang-ups list. The women are just being honest and I have to agree with them. Bald men are the most unappealing people in the world. Yeah, there are a few exceptions, but even the exceptions look like rubbish when surround by other men with hair. I don't blame women or society for looking down on us, the majority in this forum all agree as well, that's why they're all here. It really is gross looking.

A lot of my friends pass for early 20's while most people think I'm early to mid 40's. THATS A TWENTY YEAR AGE GAP even though we are the same age. I cannot tell you how many times I have been the only nw7 under 60 in a room. There is nothing attractive or appealing or masculine about that and no woman wants to know you. Try picking your child up from school with a bunch of grandpa's who all have more hair then you. I wrote my life off years ago because of it and have no symphony towards anyone else's physical flaws because nothing is worse than this.

And before anyone says it's all in my head, I never cared about it at all for the first 10 years but it was everybody else who made a big deal about it. My own mother and family used to tell me I looked horrendous with a shaved head and that no one will ever hire me or no woman will ever want to be with me. I heard it for years and years from everyone around me. Soon as it became obvious I was destined to be nw7 before 30 everyone began with the it "looks good", "it suits you", "don't worry about it" and all that rubbish. A complete 180 turn ie" the feel sorry card. It was drilled directly into my face that nobody likes bald men for years, and now that I am one, they all have to bite their tongue. I can't believe I have to live my whole adult life like this. Right now, not only do I hope they never cure it but I hope it becomes more and more common in both men and women.

Hows that for a bitter rant?

One of the most attractive things women is confidence. You clearly have none, and THAT is why you probably have a poor track record with attracting women, making you so bitter. Be a man, you'll be a man.

If you are bald, you must maintain low body fat and keep some facial hair. Its a cool look.

Is facial hair necessary. Vin D, Rock, Statham, and Kelly Slater are all clean shaven??????

Bald men are hot. My daughter's father was bald when I met him, and he's still hot with a bald head. I know women who will only date bald men. It depends on the girl.

Too bad most people don't see bald/balding men the same way you do.

So what? Its not necessary to look good to everyone. If someone doesn't like it, so be it! There are far more important things to do in life than to just look good.

IMO, only those bald men look bad who are overweight or those who are ugly in the first place.

I know you have a positive attitude towards this stuff but it's just not like that for everyone. The difference between people seeing me with a shaved head because thats what I wanted to he shaves because he is bald is like 2 different worlds even though I look basically the same for the last 12 years. Most would not go through that same path. I have seen both sides (the ones who like it and those who don't) and then I have seen both sides do a complete 180 flip because of it the difference it makes.

I think what you have trouble understanding is the reality that it is not ever considered a desired trait. Women don't pursue bald men in general even though they might end up with one. It's the same attitude that you put onto short men, you are always talking about the huge disadvantage they're at but bald is so much worse than being short, but you personally don't believe that, and that is fine, but you can name way more attractive short men than you could bald guys. It's a bad BAD thing to have slapped on your appearance whether you want to believe it or not.

The reason most guys don't like it is because they see other bald men and think that is what they are going to look like and that wouldn't be a problem if every bald guy looked like the ones you always point out and say "hey, look at this guy". Not everyone looks like Zidane, the Rock or Kelly Slater, they mostly look just like garbage.

IMO, only those bald men look bad who are overweight or those who are ugly in the first place. I have lost a few pounds in the last few weeks and now I am looking much better. If you are bald, you must maintain low body fat and keep some facial hair. Its a cool look. Just look at Ronnie Colemann. He is a NW0, yet he keeps a bald head, because he looks much cooler with it. The Rock also looks much better now than he used to with hair.

99% of the time it isn't hot women who say this. It's repulsive trolls that you wouldn't bang if there was no one left on earth.

Typically they say this stuff to make themselves feel better and for the most part don't even believe it themselves. The other thing to keep in mind is that there are a lot of trolls online and it's doubtful half the stuff you read even comes from actual females.

Either way it's irrelevant. 99% of men aren't banging hot women. With or without hair. If you've lost it all, use that as motivation to turn yourself into that 1%. Hair loss isn't the deal breaker - Being one of the 99% of guys who accept mediocrity is the deal breaker.

Well said...

I want to do my best to forgive everyone that said those hurtful things to me, and treat them with respect in return.

I can't belive adults would do this. I would say this is rather rare. I got teased like that but only when I was young and so were the girls (~18).

When you are older, sometimes (but not always ) when they tease you it's because they like you.

[Notcoolanymore]

If youre losing it you need to cut it realy short.
Exercise and good food and away you go!

Fred, pay no attention to this guy. He is an anti propecia troll. His post was just a prelude to his anti treatment nonsense. I would be willing to bet he is an early norwood.

I would be much more convinced to just hit the gym and just smile if the message came from a guy that was actually suffering from significant hair loss.

[FlightTL]

I appreciate Joan's and NotCoolAnymore's comments. I will focus on natural fitness. By that, I'll just eat whole foods if I can, and do pushups and crunches. I found this video on why folks should stay natural while bodybuilding. Makes me want to just eat fruits and healthy stuff, and stay natural.

FlightTL: I would disown anyone who did that to my sons. You're probably more mature than your mother and her "friends." Totally agree with Notcoolanymore. Remember, you've got youth on your side, hair or not. The people in your mother's age group will NEVER get that back, no matter how much time they spend in the gym or money on cosmetic procedures. Believe me, I know.

The thing that makes him look younger is his self confidence - he smiles, as if to say 'f^ck the lot of you - i'm happy'.

Screw that! Who wants to smile like a moron all the time just to compensate for baldness, tell me, why do we need to do that exactly?! I thought baldness was not a big deal, surely we would be allowed not to smile for a second and not be considered grumpy creepy balding assholes for not smiling right?

Self-confidence needs to come from something, and you cannot be truly confident if you're bald, especially in your 20's. You can only pretend you are confident in that case, and people will interpret it as arrogance by a hot 19 years old girl: "What is this creepy bald guy doing? I mean he's bald! Doesn't he know his place?!"
