Positive aspects of being bald

[dannyfc]

I was a bit inspired today when I saw the Sales Manager in the canteen today. Must be only in his mid-30s, but a NW5 or 6 with completely shaved sides. Nonetheless he dominated the room, with constant laughter from the 4 girls sat on the same table as him.

At the end of the day, men are attractive when they're confident, assertive and charismatic. With a healthy body and a shaved head, there's no reason why anyone on here cant pull it off. OK you will never be able to attract girls sitting pretty with a full head of hair and not much else, but neither can 99% of men.

I've looked on some of the bodybuilding forums where they discuss baldness with a more manly touch then here.

They seem ok with a worked out body and a manly attitude towards it.

It probably doesn't help when many bald men I see look large, old or just unfit. That's uninspiring really...

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.

When you get the slaphead comments don't take them as something negative take them as people embracing the new you, take the comments on the chin they wont last, people will soon find something else to focus upon other than your shaved head. You'll wish you'd done it sooner once you do it.

There's no positive aspects at all. The things you listed are laziness and just false. Sorry, no offense.

[clandestine]

You're false.

Then forever wear a hat.

Hahaha.. right? Thinning out has humbled me.. a little bit. That's about the only positive thing that's come for me though.

I can agree with the first 2 points

Here's a positive aspect. Think of it as a trial. Clearly everyone who comes to this forum is deeply bothered by their hairloss, and I mean deeply. If and when you manage to overcome this you will have grown as a person. I know I have. I've realized that I actually have a great life in so many aspects and have great friends who like me for my personality, not if I have hair or not. But the benefit of going through this is I can now avoid focusing on unimportant things like this in the future. I'm not going to be in my 30's have a crisis of vanity issues.

Does loosing my hair still suck? Yes of course it does, but I'm not going to let it hold me back as a person anymore. And I think after all the bullshit I've put myself through I've grown a lot as a person.

And yeah it may be harder to attract girls at first but when it comes to an actual relationship do you think girls want a guy who is so self conscious he hates himself over hair, or someone who is willing to just accept life and be who he is?

Wow. So beautifully said. I really only have sympathy for the dudes 22 or younger who have hair loss. At that age, 95% of girls are either: 1.) ugly, 2.) insanely superficial. The other 5% are sweethearts and good looking, but are dating some touch down boy.
