Baldness bullies

[Artista]

I believe the bigger issue is that of TBT members who would purposely post falsehoods, lies and misleading posts here.
'Baldness bullies' are an issue but relatively minor compared to those members who would actually post falsehoods with the sole intent to mislead and fool the rest of us.
Their motivations to consciously fabricate a story that would excite/depress others is of no matter. What does matter would be for our moderators to take action to 'protect us' from these unnecessary highs and lows caused by those prevaricators.

The ones on forums can be bad, but not like someone you know in real life. Almost no one knows I have this condition but I will never forget confiding in my father about it, and about going on medication, and he basically says "get over it, move on" (He is almost 60 with a full head of hair)
I swear I could have told him to go **** himself. Easy for him to pass judgment when he has less hair loss than someone not even half his age. I wonder if someone without genetic hair loss can ever understand how it feels unless they actually experience it too?

Your father is a wise guy! If he is saying that to you, he would had most likely done the same if it happened to him. For a father, his children are even more important than himself, so he is saying that for a reason.

I have to disagree. I have never met anyone who liked their hair loss. They learned to accept it., especially in public, but in private it eats away at them.

We all have insecurities that eat away at us. I cant see a bald guy thinking that his bald head is an ASSET to his looks.

Well, you may not look like a model if you are bald, but you could still look quite good. So unless, someone has to become a model or an actor, or even a rock star, baldness should not matter that much. One should not worry about looks too much, they fade with time anyway, hair or no hair.

The worse offenders are the ones who spent countless hours posting on balding forums criticizing others about their obsession with hair loss. The guys who have thousands of posts lecturing others to get over it and shave their heads. If they are dealing with hair loss so well, what are they doing here day after day.

For me, personally, shaving my head was a relief and I recommend anyone try it. I come here to reflect and share my experience as a long time hair loss sufferer, I like to give my own account of what it was like on fin, minox, what shaving my head for the first time was like etc. I have zero issue with the way I look these days. It may surprise you but you don't have to be having anxieties to be a contributing member of this forum.

If there is anything that makes hair loss even more difficult it's the thuggery of the Baldness Bullies, the ones who are the majority in society who tell you, hair loss is untreatable, shave your head if you have any slightly visible level of thinning/hairloss, become a shaven thug, another valueless bald man without a struggle.

Because every man with a shaven head is a valueless thug.

Some people certainly do post falsehoods. People claiming to have suicidal thoughts for example are probably lying 99 times out of 100. Suicide from baldness is really rather rare. I also view a lot of the regimens that people claim to be on to be exaggerated. As men, I sometimes doubt any of us commit to taking pills and applying topicals without fail every day. The reason I gave up with propecia wasn't so much because it didn't do anything than because I kept forgetting to take it!

Perhaps the biggest liers of all are the 'baldness bullies.' Behind the veil of the internet I would expect to find plenty of Norwood 0 wannabe life coaches, women and a few trolls are behind a bulk of the posts. Otherwise, the volume of these posters would suggest that one couldn't go to a gym without sunglasses because of several dazzling lights bouncing off hundreds of bald heads. I don't see a correlation between baldness, tans and better general fitness on the street so I'm going to assume no one takes the 'baldness bully's' advice either.

A far better plan for bald people, in my view, is to work harder at something more intellectually demanding than pumping iron. We have to be smarter and better qualified than people with hair to make the same money and muscles don't get the jobs and don't pay the bills, unless you want to be a bin man (where having a tan that disguises the dirt a bit better also helps).

I still advocate avoiding people, although I have to admit avoiding people would probably be my inclination, hair or not. I've always been an introvert and quite a misanthropic one at that! I used to want to overcompensate for what I thought was a shortcoming by doing 'public service' and all that crap. However, it's much easier and much more lucrative to look out for number one and leave others to themselves.

uhhh, this is a message forum. If they are to weed out the liars this place would be empty. It's the internet, what do you expect?? You're on your own man, for all we know you're a woman.

That's why the internet is such a great place. Wall to wall bullshit. The irony is for something technologically advanced, it's biggest achievement is in evidencing the stupidity, insecurity and prejudice of humanity.

Good points gents.

I for one come here to seek advice on how to fix my hairline and you guys have helped me tremendously. I can only repay you by trying to help the next guy who comes along.

Forget the trolls.
