This pissed me off. Went to a little get together for the Super Bowl last weekend meeting up with some old college buddies and coworkers. A guy I know who used to have long dreadlocks recently cut his hair because he started losing it fast and also because he entered the professional working world. Anyways, a chick I know (cute, but ****ing obnoxious) called him out in front of everyone and was like "Oh, your hair is so thin now. You're going bald."
Him:"Um, ok. At least I can take medication to keep what's left.'"
Girl:"Omg, you boys need to accept it and just cut it short."
What pisses me off is she insulted him in front of everyone, which was very awkward. Then she tells him to "just accept it." This is coming from a chick who had a nose job, veneers, and chin augmentation surgery before the age of 25. She couldn't "accept" having a big nose, crooked teeth, and overbite, but she expects men to just accept going bald and not to do anything about it. Why are medications and procedures to save one's hair looked down upon by some people? No one ever gives someone shit for getting braces, a nose job, or any other number of cosmetic procedures. I had septo/rhinoplasty done after I broke my nose in a carwreck. No one would ever say "Don't get your nose straightened. You should accept having a crooked nose." Or "You shouldn't get braces. You need to accept your crooked teeth." But when it comes to hairloss it's perfectly fine to say "Don't take propecia or get a hair transplant. Shave your head and accept it."
Rant over.
