Positive aspects of being bald

[tgajr]

Being bald has had the following positive affects on my life:

1. I can wake up 5 minutes before a need to go someplace without worrying about combing my hair

2. I have saved thousands on shampoo and haircuts

3. Women often compliment me on my shiny head and ask to rub it

4. It tells the world "I am confident"

5. It has gotten me to focus on my body and working out, since I dont have to pay attention to hair

6. Scarves and hats are cool accessories that the women really dig

7. I look twice as good in a suit

8. It gives me a unique, yet positive look

9. It keeps away artificial, phony women who are only concerned with hair. Giving me opportunities with smart, successful, and competent women.

Can other guys share how being bald has been positive?

For me the positive aspects aren't really about being bald but about what I've been through in my hair loss process. Check out my post called a New Lease on Life in the coping with hair loss in every day life board.

I would also have to say that if I were gay, it would be a gold mine! I cant tell you how often gay men tell me I am hot. Too bad I am not gay.

But it does boost your confidence! I figure gay men are men who think like women! Hehe.

I am not anti-gay in anyway. I am just posting a fact.

Positive aspect 4 me - I stopped going out with friends and socializing. People thought I am arrogant and self-obsessed and respected me for it.

The only actual positive aspect of being bald is that you can do all the steroids you want since you have nothing left to lose. You might as well become as juicy as possible to maximize the attractiveness you have left. If you look good with a shaved head and are muscular, I would imagine you could peak around a 7.5-8 or so.

tgajr; I suggest you check out the Sly Bald Guys forum; your approach (positive, rational, etc.) is much more similar to theirs than it is most forum users here.

I think the only positive is saving money from haircuts and shampoos and stuff like that. Other than that, there is no positives from the disease.

I try to help you with your acne and this is how you treat me?

[clandestine]

Sorry didn't know that was you, I appreciate the effort in helping me. But stop being so depressive, seriously.

I understand the strive for aesthetics, but such a narrow minded, rigid viewpoint negates other factors involved.

Honestly feel that shaving your head is the only way to 'defeat' the mental impact of hairloss.

From that point on you no longer have to worry about how your hair will be in a year/5 years time. No more drugs, dodgy transplants or snake oil.

Only thing thats stopping my is the initial 'slaphead' comments I'll get from people I know.

[Jcm800]

Yeah,the slap head comment's will kill me too. I know many piss takers. Damn fkn curse we have.

Any drastic change in appearance will be inevitable. Im in the process of manning up to buzz, which in a few years will involve shaving.

HOWEVER, I guess at that point you wanna feel psychologically ready and not out of sheer panic (unless you are forced too given some external circumstances).

But I agree, it will be a game changer.
