Hair is actually an overrated trait

[shookwun]

As much as I enjoy women is this all you guys focus on. I cant help but think it's a sad existence to value yourself in accordance to the amount of partners you sustain. This should be a natural process and nothing more.


Maybe I am different. Aside from women I love video games, actively play on my days off, work out, and I also have a career that I peruse with half my time. I am also an avid fan of hunting & fishing with my free time.


Fred, all your posts seem to revolve around picking up chicks. Your day seems to revolve around tindr lmao


As for money getting chicks. It hasnt made a difference in my life. Going from 30,000 to over 100,000 has made zero impact on my dating selection. It is however given me financial freedom and the comfort of more purchasing power. In which I have had transplants, and the ability to travel without hesitancy. I do feel money and the status associated with such luxury does aid in partner selection as one gets older. Younger generations are to worried on the next festival and upcoming Friday night to care about how thick your wallet is. I am noticing however that as I get older I am starting to see what people are doing with there lives apart from partying and social gigs. Those who are becoming something amongst those who are mediocre.

 

[superfrankie]

You either lowered your standards significantly or presented yourself as a comfortable man during those meetings. Women can also be insecure and desperate. So yes, it´s possible to get chicks even if you are depressed. I´ll give you that.

 

[shookwun]

It is not difficult to get laid, even as an average man in day lif approach. Problem is most men are to pussy to make a move and wallop to there defeat.


Find women with similar interests. Start joining the gym, yoga sessions and see what actives your local recreational leisure center has got going. Lots of way to meet people apart from the mundane online dating and speed session balognie. If anything, you will have more success with cold approach.



Online dating is difficult how ever for average men.

 

[superfrankie]

There is a huge difference between getting laid and getting laid with someone you are incredibly attracted to.

Though guys like Fred have admitted they have no interests outside of Tinder, I think in general most of the forum does, it just doesn't come up since it's not related to hair loss.

I work as an astrophysicist, I'm into films, television, history, politics, cooking, exercise, travelling, but most of that doesn't come up here.

I used to be a Montreal Canadiens fan too, but the management is so bad that my fandom is souring.

I have two dreams in life: to measure the scattering of light in the Galaxy, and to be a great dad. I'll need to work for both of them.

Making money has had a transformative impact on my life. When I was making 20,000/year I worried and beat myself up over every little mistake. If I gave wrong directions to a cab driver it would cost me $40 and ruin my day. Now that I make an ~100,000 I don't beat myself up over small mistakes, so life is better. That's the biggest difference money makes: the freedom.

 

[shookwun]

Exactly. I have been with around 9-11 women sexuallu since April. ... when I started dating again. I don't even know an exact number, I have been on quite a few dates though.


I would say only 3 of those partners made me feel like an animal and got the primal feelings of being with a high grade female out of me. Its only when you bed a women you want to ravage do yu realise how useless sex is with average chicks you semi-care about. I would honestly rather be alone then go through the ropes and emotions of bedding a chick I am barely into. Throwing my hot dog down a random alley is of little interest the more I learn.

Its only when you get with a real hotnchick do you realise looKS are everyrhing. The feeling and apetite for sex, lust and agression will make you keep coming back for more. The intimacy, and just pure bliss trumps any lack of social adequacy. Only then do you realise we are just animals with laws and morals to abide by... but are extinct never change


Those who actually get laid will know what I mean by this.

 

[shookwun]

David.

I agree. Purchasing power and financial freedom is a self concerned and shouldn't apply to this obsession of money won't get you women. I couldn't imagine being poor, and bald. Life would be so depressing..


Being able to do whatever you want is great. I don't need to wait for my next pay cheque. If I want to go on vacation next week, it's done. If I want to grab a lobster, and steak dinner that costs 50....no sweat. I always treat myself out. I spend about $400 on take out/ restaurants a month because I can.

 

[cocohot]

All your achievements don't matter once you're bald.

All the fullheads will think of your succes will be: "at least I have hair!".

I know plenty of handsome NW1's who don't exercise (but are thin), who are unemployed, and who are as smart as a rock who are getting by and doing very well with women.

One of them has been with his girlfriend for 5 years and she is expecting his second child.

"Necessary" Lol. Only if you don't make the cut with your looks.

In a way Fred is being too positive. In a way too negative.

Starting with the too negative, Fred you were unemployed forever, failing in university forever, and you fixed yourself up with lots of hard work and changing your approach etc (in university and learning dutch) and now have a job. If you could do that with your education and fix yourself in your late mid to late twenties when you overcame your mental health problems, then why can't a loser with with women like Hairon do the same?

You fixed yourself up with lots of cosmetic surgery too which you've told us about on this forum, laser eye surgery, braces, breast reduction and a hair transplant. How do you think your life would be if you had given up and not gotten those surgeries and not persevered with your education and your career? If you'd said "I've made it all the way to 25 and I'm still a failure, time to give up"? Why can you do it and not them?

Now, the too positive: You live for hookups and having sex with attractive women and so see yourself as a (qualified) success, but in a few years , maybe when you're 30, maybe 35, maybe even 40, you'll be too old and ugly to have sex with attractive young women in their twenties. What will you do then? You'll still have decades left of your life to live. Your kids will be bald and will hate you for passing down that gene, your wife will be ugly because she'll be old. Prostitutes won't give you a self esteem boost.

 

[cocohot]

Wrong, when I tell girls (and they all laugh) on dating apps that I'm looking for the future mother of my kids, I'm dead serious.

And I already found another girlfriend. 22 years old, pretty, smart, and a virgin.

I won't be too old and ugly, besides hair, we don't age badly at all in my family.

My grandfather (my 'player' side definitely comes from him) was still picking up girls in their 20's when he was in his late 50's (with a hair piece though).

I'll just stop dating when it doesn't work anymore.

I might have only daughters, and if I have sons, now I think it's not crazy to imagine we'll have better treatments in 2040.

Prostitutes are fine. I'm still going right now, and it does the job quite well.

The ego-boost is not needed. Even when I'm too old, the memories will be enough, since I already tell myself that now. Yep, I've had quite my fair share of fun already, and believe it or not, it makes you happy.

Even with another girlfriend, I'll keep on dating girls on the side of course. I'm doing what I can with what I have, as always.

After all I've been through, I'll live my life the way I want it.

The wife getting old is unavoidable, as you getting old is unavoidable, except maybe for nameless.

You really have to go far to find negative if you have to say: "Haha, you'll get old and your wife too!"

Come on now.

Well if your dad is picking up women in their twenties in his 50's then you clearly have absolutely unbelievable aging genetics like Liam Neeson or someone lol

You said before you found barely any women in their 30's attractive and none in their 40's. But within 10-15 years your wife will be old and ugly and you will be too, or at least too old and ugly to pick up women in their twenties. Or so I thought until I heard about your dad lol.

But what if you get your aging genetics from your mothers side and you start getting old looking in your 30's or 40's and this all comes to an end soon? Will you just give up and accept that you will never experience that again for the remaining 50 years of your life? Could you be happy that way? Could you be happy with daughters who will be promiscuous and have abortions and cynically use men? With bald sons having mental breakdowns?

I'm not attacking you, you are very like me in many ways and these are things I wonder about my own future.

 

[Marky]

My mother has aged quite well too, she looks better than any other 54 year old woman I know.

Yeah been playing the guitar everyday a day for 10 years now, "a bit". Well, except during my depressed times, but I didn't want to do anything anymore so. I'm also huge videogame fan, I'm passionate about cinema and music. I've made website for more than 10 years, designed 3D environments, traveled quite a bit (yeah the last big destination was Thailand, it was a random choice, seriously ).

What I really want to do right now is start writing music and/or join a band. I also want to do a bit of acting, I've always wanted to, but you know, it's one of the things I've quickly given up on when I thought about me acting with a bald head. But now why not?

So saying that my life revolves around "getting laid" is a bit... false. Going on dates is entertaining for me, I enjoy it, and I enjoy having sex obviously. And to answer your question, yes I wouldn't care if I didn't get laid at all for the rest of my life.

There are studies about that, people get older, and aren't able to do the same fun activities they were able to do while they were young, yet they don't all want to blow their brains out because of that. Why? Because the validation and fulfillment they've felt in their youth stays with them.

The simple fact that I know I've lived those amazing moments is enough. Just knowing I've done the best with what I had is enough.

Well said Fred:
"So saying that my life revolves around "getting laid" is a bit... false. Going on dates is entertaining for me, I enjoy it, and I enjoy having sex obviously. And to answer your question, yes I wouldn't care if I didn't get laid at all for the rest of my life."
Now that you're giving up the sin of fornication and the lustful desires of your body you can find fulfillment in the spiritual life and take it to the next level.

So true, and I've never heard that before - thanks! It's what could prevent the mid life crisis later in life.

 

[EvilLocks]

And to answer your question, yes I wouldn't care if I didn't get laid at all for the rest of my life.

Hmm, why don't I believe that coming from you, Fred? I'd imagine you'd go crazy if you had to go a month without sex. But then again, what do I know? I don't know you, and I might be wrong about that.

 

[cocohot]

Somehow I think a norwegian/belgian cultural exchange is coming soon lol

 

[shookwun]

Fred you seem to forget that you are balding. Men aging gracefully is an utter myth.

Men who age gracefully are amongst and apply to those who retain a full head of hair and semi in shape physique.

That being said, balding men age like sh*t. Once the skin looses elasticity, bags start forming under the eyes, look weak and ugly in most cases. Especially those with fair skin

 

[F2005]

I appreciated most of your post, but this bit confused me.
You cant just shave your head "even for a day."

The visual effects of a shaved head last a bit longer then a day.

OK, I can see your point man. But his hair would've grown in to the point of stubble in only a few days. His "baldness" wouldn't have lasted much longer than that. He promised to me that he would shave his head and then used virtually every excuse in the book to back out of it. It's like that with virtually every fullhead. They claim how they would have no problem going bald, but they would never actually shave their head themselves, even when the results are only very temporary.

K man, here we go :

• The Temple mount is one of the most important religious place in the world as it is the holiest place of Judaism and the third holiest place for Muslims. There used to be temples tht have been destructed and reconstructed as Jerusalem was dominated by different populations (Jews, Byzantines, Jews again, Romans, Ottomans..) but since -632 there is the Dome of the Rock, in which one can find the rock on which Abraham (recognized by all three monotheist religions) almost killed his son Isaac.
• Nowadays there are eleven gates to access it, including one reserved to non muslims. As it is Ramadan now, non-muslims can only access it in the mornign from 7:30 to 11:30. You have to pass through some sort of tunnel (after having your bag and your outfit checked ofc) from which you can have a pretty dope view of the Western Wall :

Then, after having escaped from the guy who's there to try to convert people and give away free quran, you end up in front of this beauty :

View attachment 41256

Hey, you.
Unfortunately, the inside of the mosque is forbidden to non muslims, so I couldn't see the rock. I've been trying twice tho. But if you're white, you can't just say "hey, I'm converted". You have to show a paper signed by some Muslim authority, or being fully covered, and I'm not crazy enough to buy the full burqa for the sake of it, so I gave up.
However, the outside is still really cool. Look at those details man. Architecturally speaking, they were really ahead of time.

The mosque is surrounded by a peaceful garden that contrasts with the mess of Old Jerusalem.

View attachment 41261 View attachment 41262

I really fell in love with that view in particular.


View attachment 41263

Bonus : here you can see some Jewish people escorted by soldiers to see the Dome, since Abraham is important for them too. The Muslims here don't like it at all and start screaming Allahu Akbar, because they consider that Jewish presence there is a threat to the status quo and that they will end up building a Third Temple.

And voilà, I hope you enjoyed the tour. It will be 50 shekels.
JK, no shekels needed, I'm aware I'm lucky to visit these places and learn more about history and try to understand what's going on and I'm happy to share it all (and also that I'm (still !!!) not being stabbed or shot or whatever sh*t I could read here

Thank you. This was a wonderful first-hand report!

 

[Afro_Vacancy]

@parisienne,

Many years ago a Muslim also tried to convert me, I think. When I was young and foolish, I went to a "network marketing" event and I met this guy Ibrahim. We spoke on the phone, he tried to get me to say a prayer but I refused. I'm pretty sure that was the conversion prayer, which a quick google search confirms is the same number of words. I didn't speak to Ibrahim after that (that was for the best).

I am always reluctant to say prayers. I said enough prayer in Jewish school. I used to do 1 hour of prayer every schoolday morning, for over a decade -- I'm done. When I go to yoga, I keep my mouth shut when they speak Sanskrit at the start.

It is sad that people have nothing better to do with their lives but try to convert others. It reminds me of certain individuals on the forum who are more interested in repeating their ignorant dogma ad nauseum than actually listening to and understanding their fellow human beings.

You are a great role model for actually travelling to a different culture and being an observer and immersing yourself, rather than being a tourist as many people do.

 

[F2005]

This is actually a very good point Shookwun. I have plenty of other interests including weight-lifting, American football, jogging (sometimes), hanging out with friends, writing, and rock n roll. So having my hair back is not just about scoring women, although that is a big part of it. I also want to feel comfortable in my own skin, and for a rocker like myself, that ideally includes having a full head of long hair, just like all of my rock n roll heroes.

 

[blackg]

Wow!! Thanks Parisienne for that tour of the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock. That mosque really is beautiful.
And that shot of the Wailing Wall was sweet.

Wow Parisienne, that is very cool of you to post all of those photos with your own commentary included. You seem to be a very thoughtful and worldly person. Was it always a hobby of yours to explore different countries and cultures? That is very cool though because lots of other people your age are very shallow and only seem to be focused on inane stuff like their facebook pages.
