Would you cry if a cure/something close to a cure comes out?

    I would be a changed man, the change in me would be immense. If I got my hair back I'd be so sure of being able to get a nice looking girlfriend.....and would go out straight away and ask girls on a date.....something I have ZERO confidence in doing because of my bald head, all I do is worry about being single forever, either that or having to settle for an ugly overweight woman.

    If I got my hair back it would be a huge motivator, and make me happy forever.
    You've got two problems that I can see. The first is that you lack confidence, and the second is that you're a shallow moron. Getting your hair back will only solve one of those. If it weren't for people with attitudes like yours, being bald wouldn't be a problem.

      The only thing in this world that would make my cry out of happiness is a 100 million $ jackpot.

      ..no but seriously, I would not cry. Sure being bald sucks, but it's really not that bad.

          Your harsh criticisms of the guy are just as valid as his assessment of women being attracted more so to the guy with an ocean of hair. By more so, I mean a hell of a lot more, like 95% of the time if not more. To give him sh*t because women aren't accepting of bald/balding men is total bullsh*t. You, me, him, everyone on this forum and everyone outside of it knows for a FACT that bald men are always given the short end of the stick. Put a full head of hair on him and he *will* be able to land a woman thats more attractive than what he can get now.

          That isn't being pessimistic or negative, its just the sh*tty reality us baldies have to deal with.

          If women were just attracted to a guy with a horseshoe on his head, NONE OF US would be on this forum.

            A few points.

            (1) I didn't give him sh*t because women aren't accepting of balding men. I gave him sh*t because he's every bit as superficial as he's accusing them of being.

            (2) If he were to go on a date with some nice woman, and say that hairloss bothered him because he was worried about ending up with "some ugly overweight woman", I would guess that 9 times out of 10 that statement would reflect more poorly on him than his hair loss. So yeah, I think I correctly identified his main problems.

            (3) While I can't claim to be a big hit with the ladies, I do manage, and I can honestly say that my happiness in a relationship has never been correlated with my partner's physical attractiveness, and I haven't done any worse since my hair loss started becoming more noticeable. I've dated women who are more attractive than I am, and I've dated women who are less. In a mature relationship it doesn't really matter. That doesn't mean there aren't superficial people out there, and I can't claim to perfect in that regard myself, but if someone only wants to be with you because of what you look like, then there's a problem regardless of how much hair you have.

            Now of course it does bother me that I'm going bald - I'm on this site, after all - but I also have some sense of perspective. The person who cares most about your hair loss is you. Period.

              Because I keep track of everything, that concerns me. Just because I would not cry, it does not mean, that I don't want this problem to be fixed.

                We are all already delusional. Let's just compound the delusions and act like hair loss is irrelevant, it will at least make us happy! Still fight it in the meantime though!

                  It's only relevant to the extent that you make it relevant. You don't see Jason Statham constantly moping on one of these forums.

                    People need to stop singling out these "Tough guys who don't care about hair loss". Okay, they are one out of a million men/women who are depressed about hair loss.

                      Plus, thank you to all of those who understand. I knew a lot of us felt the same on this forum. That is why I posted how I feel.

                        I will cry when a cure comes out, not happy tears, but tears of sorrow. When i think of how i have let it impact the quality of my life, feeling ashamed of my bald head. Even though i promised myself when i lost people close to me, that i would not let hairloss affect me, it is simply impossible.

                            I am not saying it is in general, but for me it is.

                              Nope; this is not true either.

                                Brother, you care so much about your hair loss, because you think other people care so much too. They don't. They are too obsessed with themselves. Like most human beings. If you care that much about what other people think of you, my suggestion is to stop yourself from caring so much about what you think of yourself. It will actually make others care less too. However, the approach that I believe will lead to the most happiness (which is what we all want right?), it to simply not care what others think. In fact, don't even concern yourself with what they may think. Who cares? You? Why? You don't have to.

                                With all that said, I encourage you to fight your hair loss battle tooth and nail (without getting too crazy)! But have peace of mind in what you are doing and still lead a productive happy life!

                                Merry Christmas!

                                Hope you didn't get lost in the midst of all those philosophical BOMBS I was dropping!

                                We Are All One!!!!!!!!!!
