Life isn't worth living if you're bald.

[sdsurfin]

I say this with all due respect:

I was depressed this afternoon. After reading this, my depression has multiplied 100x....I was starting to get some hope in life that maybe I could cut it short and look up to Statham and The Rock for hope. Now, after reading your post, the truth has come before my eyes....I was delusional for thinking I had hope...

Thank you for telling me the truth. I have no hope at regaining happiness...

I'm off to a buffet to stuff my face and eat away my emotions....

Don't be an idiot. none of what he said should get you down. Appearances only mean a little, and less and less as you get older. I have plenty of slick bald friends who are doing great in every respect. that is not a lie. The people on this forum are the most mentally messed up and insecure about baldness of any bald guys out there. its a very warped perspective that you are choosing to take as truth. Most bald guys let it happen and live good normal lives. The things that really matter in life have nothing to do with hair, and this whole "I can't get any girls cause I'm bald" thing is all in your heads. You might not take home as many girls as your best looking friend, but so what? Just accept that and make yourself into a valuable human being, and you guaranteed will find women who respect that and will love you. Women are insecure about almost everything on their bodies, to many of them its refreshing to be with a guy who is not perfect. If you go out with the idea that you are inferior then people will treat you that way. I don't think anyone i know has ever met a confident bald guy and thought that they were unjustified. When I meat confident bald guys I don't even think about their baldness, and the same goes for women. I am 32, have many women friends, have been with many women, and they would all tell you the same thing. there are certainly girls who do not prefer baldness, but you know wha,t there are also girls who discriminate based on your religion, your height, your skin color, your taste in music, your job type, etc etc etc. everyone has their own tastes and you can't please everybody. you're not gonna have sex with everyone anyway, my best looking and most full haired friends are all married at 30 and out of the game anyway. I might be losing my hair but I still have the possibility of being with different women your mindset is that of an adolescent, sack up and be a strong and powerful and loving bald man, because there are millions of people that have to deal with way worse. people on here act like they have been forced into prostitution or are child laborers or have crippled legs or burned faces or something. get a grip. or just watch patrick stewart talk about losing his hair. he lost his at 15(!) and yeah it sucked for a couple years while he made peace, but then he moved on and found other things to value besides hitting on random ***** (which he did anyway) and looking beautiful (which many consider him to be anyway).

Flat out lie. Maybe to you, but not to society. Don't be willfully ignorant, you KNOW appearances mean a lot. If they really didn't you wouldn't spend so much time on this forum.

Ok cat man...Will start looking up to Vin Diesel, Statham, and The rock again for inspiration...

That's the truth. Have you ever thought about how much of life you missed out on because of your hair loss ? Well, we lose a lot. Everything from asking that girl out that we've always wanted to, being youthful and doing stupid things because you can, being the life of the party, leading the way at work cause you're not afraid to etc. Very rarely do I ever see a bald man leading anything, and if it ever happens, I wonder why there isn't a guy with a full head of hair to replace him. Hair loss, especially when you're young, forces you to grow up. Have you ever seen a 30 year old with a full head of hair skateboarding and looked back twice ? Probably not, but what happens if that 30 year old was slick bald ? Thoughts like this would likely run through your head: "Isn't he too old to be doing that ? Creep, grow up and act your age."

Every time I see a bald man driving a sports car, I think he's going through some sort of midlife crisis because he's to old to be driving a car like that, but a 50 year old with a full head of hair is never to old to be young. What about online dating ? What do you do when you go on a dating website, do you search from 20-30, or do you search from 30-40 because that's how old you look ? This disease is embarrassing, not only does it completely disfigure most men, it also holds you back in every aspect of life. You'll never be "the man" again. You'll never have the confidence that you once did when you had hair, and even if you do, people just think you're an over confident idiot who needs to know his place. You're days are over and you're expired, regardless of your actual age. So remind me again, what's the point of living such a life ?

HairIsLife is spot on. This post describes the life of us young bald men have to suffer through.
Your appearance matters more now than it ever has in our existance as humans.
Whats the point living a life like this i mean seriously?? Pain for your entire life isnt living. Balding
is a death sentence for young men,period.

Suicide is most definantly an option

It's also a permanent solution.

I'm convinced that the 'life is over' brand of baldies have never been 'cool' in the first place. I've watched one of my best friends go bald AND have a significant drop in status (job loss), yet his social life and success with woman remains the EXACT same ie very very good. I have no doubt, if he had started balding before he had this success he would be just like you guys, but he just so happened to have success while hair and maintain it without. It really is a mindset. Those of you whose life were supposedly great before MPB but shit after it basically let MPB win. Let MPB break you mentally.

[Alex88]

no one gets what he wants complaining about its absence. if you want something you work to obtain it,if you can't obtain it there are two exits : accept yourself because you tried and you failed or accept the fact you are not willing to fight with a sickness with all your strength AND patience.
you guys should really tried to do a little exam of what you're doing and see your priorities - our self image is important and if you think that hair are fundamental for it well, work for it..... otherwise you have no right to complain & that's what i think .

[fred970]

I agree with Alex though. Have you tried every option available to you? Medication? Concealers? A hair transplant with a top surgeon? A hair piece? SMP? Even just shaving your head and see how you look? A combination of these solutions?

If not, then you have no right to complain about it. And don't come up with excuses for each one of them like the side-effects of medication or the price of a hair transplant. Every solution has its downsides. You're never going to get a solution with no downsides at all.

I've been on minoxidil, and it gave me 2 more years of a fullish head of hair, then I added concealers, which gave me some extra time, then I went completely bald, NW5 at the age of 23. I had a high-end FUE with a top doctor, at the age of 24. Today I only have like 25% of my hair transplant result, and it already looks like I'm not bald anymore. Here's the topic about my hair transplant: https://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showth...t=16218&page=1

So I ask these questions to OP and other negative people in this thread, have you tried all available solutions for male pattern baldness? Is all hope truly lost for you? I'll answer for you, of course not, there is always hope, for everyone, but you've got to get off your ass, get rid of your negative misconceptions, and find those solutions.

If a young guy like me, who was a bald NW5 at 24 years old and diagnosed as one of the worst cases of hair loss at such a young age a top surgeon had seen, can find a way out of this nightmare, then anyone can.

Our current "solutions" aren't perfect, but there are always options. Deal with what we have and make the best of it.

It is annoying as hell when guys tell us to "man up" and stop whining about our hair loss, but this suicide talk is ridiculous and incredibly weak.

Let's be realistic, hair piece is not an option. It's a one way ticket to becoming joke of the town and forever living in tension, stress and worry.

[Alex88]

I've been depressed for other reasons and telling someone to "man up" while is depressed is pretty much giving him bullets and a shotgun pointing to his head,so i'm not gonna say it..... but instead i strongly advise to quit the suicide talking because IT IS NOT worth your time and whining won't resolve anything - try to find a good solution for you (and i hope you do,like for everyone here,we're here for the same "curse" anyway) and if you can't at least you tried. And **** stress man,it's helping your hairloss!!
Stay positive

[Dan26]

Fred I think you are pretty damn lucky that you look good rocking the shaved head. A lot of guys don't! Even the hair line framing your face shaved is a good look vs slick nw5 for you. Most guys your age with your degree of hair loss would probably have unrealistic expectations and want their original density back with a hairline which is impossible.
