Does losing hair turn you into a ****tier person?

[nomanz]

I still have tons of hair - 21 in the early stages on male pattern baldness.. I really hope norwood 3 won't turn me into a bitter angry jerk off like 70% of the users here.


From what I've seen the people on this forum are more bitter than any forum or online community I have ever witnessed.


Just people who are mad at life. Maybe I'm saying this now because I don't know what it feels like to be norwood 4, but you people need to stop crying and moaning, and taking out your anger on others.
Boo hoo life ****ed me in the hair gene..


Tired of all these punks and cry babies. I see tons of hair in my shower, in my drain. On my pillow, am I crying? No.
This is coming from someone who cares about how they look too, I am treating my male pattern baldness, so are you.

Take some deep breaths, relax - be nicer to people. Hair is great to have but it's not everything.

Feel like some people here needed a reminder. Oh well - that's my rant.

I am assuming you are in the beginning stages of hair loss, so you really have no room to talk. It is pretty easy when you have a full head of hair to tell someone to stop being a cry baby. I started losing my hair at 22, by my mid 20's I had no other option then to buzz my head, which is what I did. I didn't walk around crying or being a punk like you say, I lived my life. I wasn't pissed off at the world or treated anybody like **** because of my hair loss. The only effect it had on me was not liking what I see when I looked in the mirror. Hair loss didn't keep me from getting a degree, buying property, or landing a good paying job. Many people have the misconception that all the people who post here are whinny babies that live at home and have no life. The reality of the situation is that most of us are taking care of business in our personal lives and just use this place to vent and for entertainment. We are not walking through life being assholes to complete strangers or being complete losers. We are just here to talk about a subject that we cant talk to most people about.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. Going bald isn't something that they have support groups for at the Y. Most of us just come here to vent about how the crappy hair follicles hand that we were dealt, and how it affects our lives. Getting stuff off your chest, even if it's to anonymous people on the internet, and getting feedback in the form of information, personal anecdotes, or whatever it may be makes you feel better.

Something has happened to all of us, through no fault of our own, that makes us less attractive to those around us, and that in and of itself should be enough for people to understand why there are bitter, angry, and self-deprecating individuals on here. The bald community is cast aside because our "problem" isn't considered a real problem by anyone outside our circle. The general public sees balding as "So what? It's just hair." It's easy to say when you've got hair. Take this gentleman for example. A NW1 giving advice on learning to love your look. As some guy in the comments section of the video puts it, it's like Ron Jeremy or Peter North giving advice on how to cope with having a small penis.

We're not all just savages mad at the world because of the fact that we are losing hair. We just like to come here to vent, but more often than not share information and stories with one another to make each other feel better about how royally screwed we all are haha. I mean I just found out that the prom queen from my senior class, who is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life, is getting married to a younger guy that's a Norwood 6, so not all hope is lost, but that's the exception to the rule. We just like to get on here and talk about sh*t that others don't understand, OP.

LOL at the penis comment.
"Bald Hairstyle"
This video is ridiculous.

Good job saying you no nothing of hair loss and then start calling people cry babies and insulting them, you truly are a moron. Its like you being perfectly healthy apart from the odd cold saying someone suffering from cancer to man up, I'm not saying male pattern baldness is cancer but like cancer you have not experienced it and so have no idea. Please leave these forums and can back when you're nw5 if you really can be such an insensitive dick.
O look at me I found some hairs and I'm not crying, such a man...

The only moron here is everyone addressing the fact that I OPENLY ADMITTED still being in early stages of balding and even quoted "IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE IM NOT A NORWOOD 4 YET" Meaning I went into this with the understanding that I might just be thinking this way because I haven't lost all my hair yet. You guys are addressing literally what I brought up in my post. Are you so blind by the hostility in my post that you look past the logic? I'm not claiming to be in your position or understand how you feel - but yes I do have handfuls of hair everytime I shower - I do have receded temples - and I am seeing bigger chances with my hair every day. So while I'm not norwood 5 Joe I'm still a 1.5 and in the process of losing hair.

I do get what you guys are saying - I'm just more sick of the all the negative - cynnical - pricks on this forum everytime I read through posts or ask for help with something. Being upset about it is more understandable (kinda contradicting)... Just so many assholes though it made me blow up.

you pretty much answered your own question buddy

it's hard for people like me (nw5) not to be sarcastic in some threads where i suspect the person is trolling because they post a hairline that would make brad pitt jealous and follow it up with some dumb **** like "is there any hope for me or should i just buzz?" but that doesn't mean i'm running around in my real life pissing and moaning about my hair. this place is one of the few places where its acceptable to talk about the impact of hair loss, so don't be surprised when there's people doing exactly that. some people take it much harder than others.

that being said, i give actual advice where it's needed and when the person isn't being a ****ing hypochondriac. ive never really seen any users just being dicks for the sake of being dicks. i also find it hilariously ironic that you're calling people out - are you even reading your posts?? you're being cynical/crying about people being cynical/crying. lmao.

Hair is not everything, your correct. But when hair is the difference between pulling, and not pulling... well you know, I can understand why people are bitter.

I honestly think its human nature to be hard on ourselves. The worst critic is the person you see in the mirror. No one cares more about the person in the mirror than yourself. I agree that taking your negative energy and inflicting upon innocent parties is wrong but venting is necessary. That why we have this forum. Different folks with different perspectives. Not all will think the same way. The only way to survive is to focus your energy on things that excite you. Gives you passion.

And as far as women, you would be surprised just how insecure they really are too. They have to always struggle with weight due to their abundance of estrogen. Men don't have as much problem with weight in that respect. And the reason they want to date better looking guys is no different than we want to date good looking women, or for some of our gay forum members, good looking men. Its no different with our cars, our houses, our clothes. We like to show off what we have simply to look good in the eyes of our peers. And you know what, I have finally learned to live my life and not care about such trivia nonsense. If you can do that, your life will seem more rich. And if you primary goal is to have kids, then you definitely are going to need to "shop" for someone special.

Lets face it, our insecurities are our downfall. And with that we create forums like this to support each other in hard times. Creating posts that tell people they can't cry or moan or be upset is nonproductive. People need to vent, cry, or be angry. But fighting with other members on here is definitely just wrong in my opinion. Every is entitled to their opinion. And nobody has to agree with everything they read.

I agree that the negativity on this forum can be a bit overwhelming at times. That said, this forum is a place to vent frustrations, nobody in real life really gives a toss about balding.

I doubt any of us act/talk in everyday life like we do on these forums.

The negative effect of hair loss does not only include relationships with women in regards to dating; it affects your day to day life with everyone around you. Baldness is disrespected far beyond than just the dating scene.

It should be no surprise that many of us are pissed off about this disease.

You don't become a ****tier person because you're balding. It doesn't make you less of a man.
However, in society's eyes, you WILL become a ****tier person. You are considered inferior and the target for all the jokes.
