Bald men are so ugly.

These extreme views on either side are ridiculous. Yes, having good hair is better than no hair and you should try to keep it if you can. But to seek out and then listen to the extreme views and believe life goes to shyt because there's no hair is quite idiotic.

If Brad Pitt is the perfect 10, then the personality, charisma, confidence, charm, and a crooked smile makes up 7-8 while hair may give the remaining 2-3. Do the best with what you have, where you are, and how you can. Bytching is for bytches.

Exactly!

thank god that hair transplants exist though. Its always a last resort and its getting cheaper every year. I dont even know if Im losing hair yet but If I am I plan to get one before I'm like 25.

This is truth, I was born with triangular alopecia (fancy slang for Norwood 2-3 ish at birth) all my moms side men had it, I never cared as it was all I knew and nobody ever mocked me for it, at 17 my father passed and medical tests on me put me in a mild shock-where I lost most my top hair on the entire Norwood area 2 out of every 3 hair died they said and no it doesn't come back so at 19 I shaved it bald and yeah some girl aren't into it but honestly I pull it off nicely enough that I hear regular compliments and girls tell me a lot they couldn't imagine me with hair. No it's not sympathy or lies like many of these crazed 'feel sorry for me' types will try to say. Yes it's completely skinhead bald and no I'm not the uber muscular type either I'm a skinny pale white dude, just my face and head shape work well with it, sure with perfect hair I might be a 8-9 rather than a 7 I am now to many girls but I never had perfect hair from birth and thank God because I might be like some of the sad people on here mourning it.

I'm nearly 21 and yeah sometimes I'm self conscious when some drunk frat girl says something but most girls don't care enough to let shaved be a deal breaker and I'm talking 18-20 range in college. If I can get through it many of you grown "men" should try too.

Nothing against you poster, just liked your statement.

I know you have a positive attitude towards this stuff but it's just not like that for everyone. The difference between people seeing me with a shaved head because thats what I wanted to he shaves because he is bald is like 2 different worlds even though I look basically the same for the last 12 years. Most would not go through that same path. I have seen both sides (the ones who like it and those who don't) and then I have seen both sides do a complete 180 flip because of it the difference it makes.

I think what you have trouble understanding is the reality that it is not ever considered a desired trait. Women don't pursue bald men in general even though they might end up with one. It's the same attitude that you put onto short men, you are always talking about the huge disadvantage they're at but bald is so much worse than being short, but you personally don't believe that, and that is fine, but you can name way more attractive short men than you could bald guys. It's a bad BAD thing to have slapped on your appearance whether you want to believe it or not.

The reason most guys don't like it is because they see other bald men and think that is what they are going to look like and that wouldn't be a problem if every bald guy looked like the ones you always point out and say "hey, look at this guy". Not everyone looks like Zidane, the Rock or Kelly Slater, they mostly look just like garbage.

IMO, only those bald men look bad who are overweight or those who are ugly in the first place. I have lost a few pounds in the last few weeks and now I am looking much better. If you are bald, you must maintain low body fat and keep some facial hair. Its a cool look. Just look at Ronnie Colemann. He is a NW0, yet he keeps a bald head, because he looks much cooler with it. The Rock also looks much better now than he used to with hair.

A lot of my friends pass for early 20's while most people think I'm early to mid 40's. THATS A TWENTY YEAR AGE GAP even though we are the same age. I cannot tell you how many times I have been the only nw7 under 60 in a room. There is nothing attractive or appealing or masculine about that and no woman wants to know you. Try picking your child up from school with a bunch of grandpa's who all have more hair then you. I wrote my life off years ago because of it and have no symphony towards anyone else's physical flaws because nothing is worse than this.

My own mother and family used to tell me I looked horrendous with a shaved head and that no one will ever hire me or no woman will ever want to be with me. It was drilled directly into my face that nobody likes bald men for years, and now that I am one, they all have to bite their tongue. I can't believe I have to live my whole adult life like this. Right now, not only do I hope they never cure it but I hope it becomes more and more common in both men and women.

Dayum this was a strong "from the heart" post. I will not start with all the: "I know how you feel", "It's not that bad", or "You need to man up" talk. Although I started losing hair at a very young age, I wasn't a very high norwood by my late teens/early twenties. Even now at 38 I still have a good amount of hair. I just think that it is unfair to judge guys unless you have gone through similar circumstances. According to hairlessM's post, his own mom used to give him shit about being bald. That's a lot to deal with. It just has to be tough living as an extremely bald guy at such a young age and I give you guys credit for doing it.

Yeah, really. As alluded to in other posts, I often see guys with such minimal hair loss that its barely even noticeable claiming how baldness isn't that bad, while the guys who are NW6's and NW7's are the ones who vent the most about how bad hair loss actually is. As you said, it is really unfair to judge people unless you have gone through similar circumstances. I highly doubt that guys with extremely minimal hair loss would be singing the same tune if they were completely bald on top.

I know a bloke who had a full head of hair until he hit 43, then within 2 years it was totally gone. Genetic - his father did the same.
He is 63, but he looks about 50. Healthy, handsome and happy. The thing that makes him look younger is his self confidence - he smiles, as if to say 'f^ck the lot of you - i'm happy'.
If youre losing it you need to cut it realy short.
Exercise and good food and away you go!

Add me to the bald moody guys with hang-ups list. The women are just being honest and I have to agree with them. Bald men are the most unappealing people in the world. Yeah, there are a few exceptions, but even the exceptions look like rubbish when surround by other men with hair. I don't blame women or society for looking down on us, the majority in this forum all agree as well, that's why they're all here. It really is gross looking.

And before anyone says it's all in my head, I never cared about it at all for the first 10 years but it was everybody else who made a big deal about it. My own mother and family used to tell me I looked horrendous with a shaved head and that no one will ever hire me or no woman will ever want to be with me. I heard it for years and years from everyone around me. Soon as it became obvious I was destined to be nw7 before 30 everyone began with the it "looks good", "it suits you", "don't worry about it" and all that rubbish. A complete 180 turn ie" the feel sorry card. It was drilled directly into my face that nobody likes bald men for years, and now that I am one, they all have to bite their tongue. I can't believe I have to live my whole adult life like this. Right now, not only do I hope they never cure it but I hope it becomes more and more common in both men and women.

Hows that for a bitter rant?

My mom's friends used to laugh at me, both adult males and females, and say 'this old man looks ugly' or 'you'll never get a woman'.

I think looking like a creepy old man is a big part of the problem with MPB. Its just that it makes you look prematurely a lot older or can help make you look a lot younger. That IMO is the biggest factor with it. That being said you cant dwell on it because aging will hit all of us one way or another. Eventually time is the great equalizer.
