Superfrankie, if you stop feeling the need to come here you will have graduated my friend! It's your life. Live it. _________________ "Baldness is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."

Hope4hairRedux, don't sweat it bro. Everyone has bad days. Watch the negative self talk my friend. It can be very destructive. If someone else says something negative about you it's easy to disagree. But when you say it to yourself, who is going to be on your side? _________________...

I worked it out when I was around 28 or 29. Before that I had some really tough times but I never gave up. It may not be easy and it may take time, but you can overcome it if you try. I know a lot of people who have. The most important thing is to avoid negative self talk, and never take...

I may not know all the answers but I know some of them. I used to feel like crap about hair loss. I can identify with many of the posts I read. It's funny how fast you will discount my opinion and get pissed off at me even though I am closer to your situation than guys with full heads of hair or...

Brightonbaldy, sorry if you feel my approach is too aggressive. Maybe it is for you and others. But maybe for some it will help. If you don't like my examples above, then let me try to simplify it. We have three choices: 1. Confront people who are rude and indiscriminate toward you because...

He's not selling bs. Sean's story applies no matter what situation a person finds themselves in. Sorry if I sounded preachy, it wasn't my intent. _________________ "Baldness is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."

s.a.f., you have to choose your response. Let's say someone really does give you sh*t because of your hair loss situation. What are the choices? 1. You could confront the person. Not saying start a fight, but walk over to them, slowly. Get up as close as you feel comfortable. Look them in the...

Finfighter, nice post and I mean that. Let me give you some thoughts on the two topics you raised - wisecracks by your peers, and female rejection. With regard to "the little comments" from your peers, you do know that guys like to make cracks about each other right? Often times guys do that...

qball01 I concur completely. You nailed it. s.a.f., you wrote "Err just go back through UCmans posts he's posted plenty of experiences, and I myself have been ridiculed to my face plenty of times about it." I haven't seen a story from UM, and I haven't seen one from you s.a.f. With all your...

Very wise post Superfrankie. Nice work. You wrote "You can control other people`s judgement of you to some extent (i.e. being positive, have a great attitude etc) but you wont be able to do that with everybody." The aim is actually for us to control our response to others, not what others do...

Smooth, not a very nice thing to say about a fellow human being and especially about one who is overcoming far more adversity than any of us could ever imagine.

"...us bald guys are discriminated against to a certain but still distinct extent." - UM You guys rant about this endlessly, yet offer no proof at least on this thread. In what ways are you being discriminated against? What is actually happening to YOU, not some mythical bald underdog...

It affects your attractiveness only to people who think hair loss is unattractive. And you know who those people are??? For the most part, balding guys! There are some women who do not find balding guys attractive. There are women who don't find vertically challenged men attractive. There...

Thanks s.a.f. for clarifying. I think I understand the point you are trying to make. But here is where I disagree. Your celebrity examples are an extremely narrow slice of society where looks probably count 100%. They don't hire Tom Cruise because he can design buildings, or Brad Pitt...
