Even though I'm Norwood 7, how do I approach women at mall or grocery store?

FlightTL, I'm going to be honest with you here... The moment YOU stop classifying yourself as a "Norwood 7" you will move forward and be able to progress with women and your future. When you say things like "even though I'm a nw7 how can I approach a girl?"... You don't realize it but you've already set yourself for failure. Not because women don't like you, not because other men don't like you, it's because YOU don't like yourself. You see Norwood 7 as something bad therefor you translate that into negative energy when interacting with others. Please stop judging yourself and your self worth compared to a freaking baldness scale. Brother life is too short for that! My suggestion... Quit looking in the mirror so much, judge yourself more on how you feel than how you look. You'll be a lot happier and confident; and despite what these guys on this forum say about women (which 90% of them here have no experience with them) they adore confidence and charm and a sense of humor. Put those three together and it trumps a head of hair all day everyday. Don't wait to live, because life ain't waiting on you. You got this bro, I believe in you! Later -DeuceWillis

Great points... I wish I knew how to not feel bad about hair loss. Perhaps, forget about dating all together.

And FlightTL. My apologies if I sound harsh and like a total douchbag.
My posts are my way of giving you a few kicks and slaps. I wouldn't write them if I honestly didn't care. They sound angry because it annoys me you're pissing away your life when (despite the cards we're played) you could get so much more out of it. I fear you're gonna look back 10 years from now at the past 15 years and think/regret you didn't do much more with it.

My fears too....
