Your life changes, when you start becoming aesthetic.

My swelling has gone down, I am 8 weeks post jaw op. Everything looks straight and my jawline is defined. To the point people are commenting.

I like the way I look now. How my life has changed:

- No longer camera shy
- Don't think about aesthetics that much.
- Ex GF dumped me, dont care as much. I believe I can attract someone new. More confident. Whereas before I was begging to get back with her, because I knew I couldn't get any better.
- I am not obsessing about my NW2 as much now either, ironically.

So now:

- I am concentrating on my career.
- Working more on other areas I can improve, body etc, without obsessing about it.

So - for people criticising Highlander, he is right. If you like the way you look, your quality of life will improve. For many of us on here, especially the higher norwoods, it is not in their head, and their disattisfaction with the way they look creates "needy" behaviour. Which in turn ****s up their dating life.

I empathize with you Norwood 6s.

Give the guy a break.

It's no secret that looking better helps and if you have a deformity of some kind having it repaired can be life changing. No one is disputing this fact and I for one would not be on this forum if I believed that good looks did not matter!

Highlander, however is sick! He in not a rational human being and he is a really bad person who behaves like an animal on this forum. He is a racist, sexist, anti- semitic homophobe and you should really question your belief system is you relate to this sick individual in any way.

Oh yeah - just to clarify, I disagree with his views on the bold.

But the way Tracy C tells him he needs to see a shrink about looks is laughable.

It's not laughable. The guy has BDD in the worst way. You had a real physicalissue. Your goal is not to be a super model or die trying or to tell other that they should die trying. He's a very sick person, who really attempts to corrupt the minds of the young guys here, and while I don't always agree with Tracy's tactics, she is spot on with this one. Highlander is an extremely sick person who needs mental help. Unfortunately I don't believe he can be helped. He's a very, very, sick and bad person.

You and him are not in the same category as far as your concern over your looks. You just wanted to look more normal, which made you look and feel much better. Highlander wants perfection, which is unattainable if you are not born with it. There is only so much that can be done for a person like him and even with all of the surgeries in the world he will be a miserable person for the rest of his life. No one in their right mind could think that he is even remotely rational and he's such a disgusting human being I don't know how you can even relate to him.

A facial disfigurement and having hair loss (for males) are not comparable.

Only because its socially acceptable, doesnt mean everything looks 'norma'l bald.

You can't see the forest for the trees. Highlander is a very sick person and needs therapy. His hair loss or "aesthetics" is the least of his problems.

It would be best if you left me lone until after you have grown up.

Only if you apologise.

That is not going to happen. If and when you ever grow up you might understand why.

Having hair on your head only looks "normal" because we've deemed it to be socially acceptable. If we didn't, everyone would shave his head, just as women shave their legs and armpits.

Agreed. And, it is hardly abnormal to go bald (depending on your age). You don't see a 30+ year old bald man and think, "What a freak!". And, if you do, then you're just a poor, miserable, ugly shell of a person. Similarly, if a woman doesn't shave her armpits or legs, you don't think she is a total freak of nature, but probably a smelly hippy.

It really blows my mind how much of their self-worth some of the guys on this forum invest in their hair. I'm all for putting up a fight, but some individuals just have not developed a real identity.

Well we live in a society where hair is important.

You can use this argument with anything else BTW, I am very sure, if society deemed my screwed up jaw to be attractive, it would have been. Irrespective on the medical condition behind it.

And another point, there are tribes who disfigure themselves in africa.

Yeah, but depending on how they look - you normally do think, he is unattactive if it doesnt suit them.

Same goes for younger guys who bald.

Wayne Rooney for example. He was only called Shrek after he started to go bald.

We also live in a society where men who don't have hair are both normal and socially acceptable.
