Are you jealous of men who won the genetic lottery?

[Laos IR Name]

Are you jealous of men who are clearly taller than you, have beautiful sculpted faces and have a head full of thick, robust hair? Do you wish you could be like them? Well, you should maybe focus your attention on things other than looks, because you will not get anywhere by dwelling on things you have little control over (no, not even plastic surgery and hair transplants will help). It's a truth the majority of you must face. People who are undeniably attractive can "get away" with hair loss; can get away with having a crooked nose, and so on... so long as they have good facial symmetry and desirable facial features. If you are reading this, I can almost 100% guarantee you (in fact, I would be willing to give away my life if I'm wrong) that you are not one of these people. I'm sorry. I didn't make this thread to troll anyone, but to help you all in your recovery process. Hair loss is not a physical problem; it goes much deeper than that (psychologically).

I don't really mind not having a beautifully sculpted face etc.

I have acne, not perfect teeth, can't really grow facial hair. I accepted all those things and was still confident about myself, I was still a 7/10 and could get girls, as long as I put the effort in to stay in shape, dressed well, got a tan, got a nice haircut. But male pattern baldness is a whole other thing, it consumes your life, your happiness. I'm really bitter when I see people with perfect hair. Almost all of my friends and guys my age are NW0-1. They have no idea how lucky they are.

Not jealously but I think very little of such people because the hardest thing that happened to them in their lives was when they went to an exotic restaurant and the food sucked.

Yeah I'm jealous... They have it easy... When they complain about a bad haircut, or worse, having too thick hair, I want to punch them in the face.

No, in general, I'm not really jealous of men who are taller and have better hair than I do, I'm pretty much fine just the way I am, except with my male pattern baldness of course since it is after all a genetic health issue. I focus on other areas in my life which I have interest in such as getting education, learning about music, learning about eating healthier and getting in proper shape, learning about botany, and just living a good life. As important as hair is to me, it's not the only thing I focus on in life even though I give it a lot of attention. Hair loss is after all a health issue, and it always baffles me how little attention it gets in the medical community.

OT: only thing I would really want from a physical standpoint is more height (I'm 5'5" or so). And better hair, aside from that I'm not too fussed.

 

[I.D WALKER]

I am mostly envious because I can never take my hair for granted like these guys do. I can hardly be angry with anyone but myself because I once shared this false, cozy sense of security. I'm angry, but ultimately at myself, for overstaying my visit on Planet Fool's Hairadise. Life can have more promise early on, if we can learn to better accept/adopt one essential absolute: There are no free, round-trip passes. For pre-destined male pattern baldness hard cases like us, La la Land ain't ever gonna be sweet neverland. To live in the lazy, slumber state of La la Land ,is merely appearing wide-eyed and awake. Because we have limited power to change our condition, we must wise-up/grow-up fast and realize we have to change or expand our thinking.

I am not Jealous at all,whenever i see handsome man with perfect in every segment,it just amaze me.I get angry when i liked a beautiful girl and i dare to propose her but things like my looks go against me,happened twice.

NO. And for the last time, genetics are only part of the equation. 50% is in our own control. Including diet, exercise, getting enough sleep, taking vitamins. You see pictures of most Actors in Hollyweird before they made it and they were just as goofy looking as anyone else.

 

[abcdefg]

I dont dwell on anything because its pointless. Yes you can do something treatments exist and new treatments will come out. Progress never stops.

I really dont agree with this or know how someone determines its 50 percent. I think its much higher for genetics out of your control for male pattern baldness. Its all random guessing though I can say its 95 percent genetics and you cant prove me wrong either.

most of these guys/chicks have some kind of surgery

There is no 'genetic lottery ' in terms of appearence although some may pass this off under the guise of Darwinian theories of natural selection based around superior genetics being advertised thus or some such dribble. It's simply people meeting stereo types or archetypes up held by social construction.

I believe these things can accelerate male pattern baldness. Although i am still sketchy.

They can affect hair quality though, definitely and maybe even cause shedding but a receding hairline? A bald crown? C'mon.

 

[I.D WALKER]

We don't know exactly what starts it (male pattern baldness) or what stops ( better preventative/cure) it. male pattern baldness limbo has become insufferably overcrowded.

 

[SayifDoit]

It does not bother me. What bothers me is seeing NW1 model-like characters in video games and in movies, I guess it hurts me knowing I could never be that character because of male pattern baldness. Consider how rampant male pattern baldness is in the UK I rarely see guy with a full of head and if I do, no doubt I'll see some nw5 guy moments later. I think it would piss off anyone if you were surrounded by nw1's all the time, guys in their late 30's and you're there severly balding in your early twenties.

 

[Winchester83]

Not necessarily, however it does make me a little bit envious when women go on talking about how dreamy, tall and perfect a certain man is, but not too much.

 

[Roox]

No. Even if I lose all my hair I can still try to pull it off. I see many people with a full head of hair and dont take care of it so I dont wory.

Lol this kinda annoys me a bit I must say...especially the "tall" part. I'm 5'5" myself. It's just I hear stuff like this all the time from a lot of woman so I cant help but think a lot of woman won't settle for a guy under 5'10" or something. But I guess many women expect a tall, handsome man with a six-figure salary and a Lamborghini in tow. But of course the vast majority will have to settle for a lot less usually.

I would be very surprised if sleep played any role at all in male pattern baldness. What evidence is there male pattern baldness is anything but a completely androgen mediated condition? I have never seen anything but poorly constructed studies looking at twin hair differences which could be chalked up to anything.
