Can anyone name....

I find myself putting others down a lot these days, it's the only way to redress the balance when they're being superior. It's just not me though.

I just wish my father had been sterilised when he started losing his hair. I really mean that and I'm seriously considering a vasectomy myself.

I can see a fake smile every time. I've never seen a genuine smile on a bald man, not once.

Dude, you can't be serious...

ok how about this guy

So you can't be a pretty boy...who cares?

Here is a simple solution, and it has worked in my life just as well as when I had hair.

Step 1: Shave your head.
Step 2: Get a tan.
Step 3: Work out and be buff.

A lot of women are attracted to the tough guy image so they can feel safe.

So here are a few guys who have made it work that won't apply to your list:

Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Randy Couture.
George Saint Pierre. (He isn't bald but he cuts it all the way down).
Vin Diesel.

And as to not moving forward in your job it really depends on your field. All the top accoutants, doctors and lawyers I have met who have incredible salaries have been bald or balding. So you can't be a news anchor, doesn't mean you can't be successful.

Not being yourself isn't a solution.

It's not. Period.

Oh dear god, not another one. Right, let's explain a few things AGAIN.

Here is a simple solution, and it has worked in my life just as well as when I had hair.

Step 1: Shave your head.
Step 2: Get a tan.
Step 3: Work out and be buff.

Okay, basically, as I have explained in earlier posts, this involves a lot of work, which isn't worth it when you hate the result. It's like walking from London to Edinburgh to buy aniseed balls, even though you don't like aniseed balls.

First of all, shaving your head is a daily commitment. Not only does it look crap, but unlike the balding look, you have to work on it every single day. Ten minutes of your life are washed down the sink on a daily basis just so you can look like a ****.

Second, getting a tan is nigh on impossible in a country where it rains most of the time and I am not wasting my life sitting in tanning machines just to look like I've been varnished. That would be an hour of your life each week lost and more if you can actually sit in the sun. All for a look that makes your head look like it's made of wood (I swear a lot of men who go down the meat head route actually do have wooden heads, because most of them are incapable of rational thought).

Finally, working out and being 'buff.' I have, never in my life, willingly gone to a gym. I don't want to go, because I think it is a waste of time and money. Nor have I ever harboured even the slightest ambition to body build, because I think well built men look retarded. They look like they spend their days doing heavy lifting because they're too stupid to do anything else. I even hate the word 'buff.' So the idea of giving up an hour of my life a day to this crap is not an idea that I willingly endorse.

In summary, I am a slave enough to balding already, without any of this crap to worry about. The idea of giving up an estimated 10% of my life to looking 'socially acceptable' WITH baldness is completely out of the question. That is time that can be spent trying treatments, which is heading towards a goal I actually want to achieve.

A lot of women are attracted to the tough guy image so they can feel safe.

Women are attracted to bald men, no question. Some of them are good looking. However, I have never met a woman attracted to a bald man, who has followed your steps above, who I would want anything to do with. Women attracted to meat heads are generally air heads themselves.

So here are a few guys who have made it work that won't apply to your list:

Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Randy Couture.
George Saint Pierre. (He isn't bald but he cuts it all the way down).
Vin Diesel.

As I've said in previous posts, all these men are meat heads. I hated the image of these men before I lost my hair, so why should that change now? I used to see them occasionally in magazines and on TV and I didn't think 'he looks good.' I used to think 'twat.' I still think 'twat' now. Especially 'Stone Cold.' Dear me, being a crap actor is bad enough but pretending it's a sport makes it even worse.

And as to not moving forward in your job it really depends on your field. All the top accoutants, doctors and lawyers I have met who have incredible salaries have been bald or balding. So you can't be a news anchor, doesn't mean you can't be successful.

It's the other way around where I live. I am the most senior balding person in my company, one rung off the bottom of the ladder. Okay, so we don't have anyone too junior in this company, but still I've been left well behind by friends and colleagues who didn't lose their hair. Oddly, our news anchors are often bald or balding.

I think the exception in the professions are doctors. A doctor is individual enough to either be obviously good or bad so no one can prejudice against his baldness. Unfortunately, it isn't like that in my field, to the extent that I am considering a career change to something where balding is acceptable (and where I can work from home, on my own).

I totally agree that shaving it off isn't a solution.

It's a totally dumb idea. I think it looks disgusting....................


really bad. sorry to those who do it...but it looks terrible.


It's definitely not a solution.

Yes. It's like cutting your leg off because you have an ingrowing toe nail. There's a reason that hair stays on the sides of your head, and that's because what's underneath is ugly.

Fixedby35, you are one funny ****er, if you are going to work on your own, have you considered becoming a writer?

First of all, shaving your head is a daily commitment. Not only does it look crap, but unlike the balding look, you have to work on it every single day. Ten minutes of your life are washed down the sink on a daily basis just so you can look like a ****.

That's only if you wet shave your head every day. I use a set of clippers once a week, and that's about as much effort as making a cup of tea. Don't need to spend time styling my hair either.

Also, you mentioned in one of your other posts that you're quite tall, so I thought you might this - I'm quite tall too, and a girl at my work asked me what I most disliked about my appearance, and I said losing my hair (obv), and she gave me a funny look, and said "Why do you care? Nobody's tall enough to see the top of your head". I laughed. Then I knocked her spark out.

And Stone Cold Steve Austin probably is a twat. A buff twat.

All men who go weight lifting and become 'buff' are at least bordering on twattery, whilst all other men who go to the gym must either be slightly retarded or enjoy watching other men sweat, because there are plenty of roads and lakes to run or row on!

By the way, if you're clipping, I wouldn't grade that as shaving. It's still a very depressing look, but it's nothing like as stupid looking as men who want to look like new born babies and think it looks tough!

I actually have more respect for men who wear wigs than men who shave, because they're doing what they want to do. I don't think I could be bothered with all the work involved, but fair play to them. I don't think it's a sign of insecurity at all, just an approach to achieving a certain look that they like.

Incidentally, the shaved head is definitely going out of fashion, probably thanks to balding blokes! Ten years ago, there were men with full heads of hair who shaved their heads; that is just not the case now. A much longer look is in these days and the only people who shave their heads now are people who think they have no choice.

Although baldness is like a curse from hell, these guys seemed to move on with their lives and become successful. I admire them, I can't 'accept' losing hair.

And I agree with your view on Larry David. He's really doing a disservice when he keeps mocking baldness as some humorous condition rather than a miserable and depressing disease. I dunno, maybe he likes to look like shit and constantly make fun of himself.
