Hate it. He did it hair transplants out of vanity?! Tell that to a girl who looks through you because you're bald. But if you do something about it you're vain. I'm not vain motherfucker I'm sexually frustrated!
Good physical appearance is the sign of youthfulness, sexual attractiveness, good health both physically and mentally and sadly hair loss is more associated with aging and losing sexual prime than with genetics.
I know I did before I started losing it.
When I was 10-11, my grandmother said to my father during a dinner party: "I am so sorry that you, my own child, lost your hair so soon. Everyone knows hair is the first thing."
It was the 80s and my grandmother was about 70. So: no internet generation, no millenials, just the plain century - wise truth.
PS: so when people say hair loss doesn't matter I think of my poor old grandmother, who had no motive to lie about what a sh*t it is.
Society teaches us that "looks don't matter" and so we say this out loud because it makes us seem virtuous and uncritical. Problem is, as we all know, it goes against our primal, honest feelings about the subject.
Which is why I believe that in 10 - 20 years, when better treatments have come to pass and baldness will probably be a choice (if you have the money), these "sly guy" types will have their veil of delusions shattered and they'll learn what people really thought about their baldness all along.
What an interesting day that will be.
I still don't get how people compare a hair transplant to a breast augmentation.
What do Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Rihanna, Keira Knightley, Emma Watson, Cameron Diaz, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez all have in common? They're all pretty much flat-chested in comparison to what the actual "beauty standards" are yet no sane and single man would ever kick any of them out of bed.
I bet there's much less of a consensus from women about the usual balding celeb bros that are Bruce Willis, Statham, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson.
Let's get it right: only one of these two issues is a medical condition, the other one is just insecure people looking for a comfort cushion.
Couldn't have said it any better myself.And you missed the biggest point. We all used to have full heads of hair. We are just trying to get back to the baseline of what a normal healthy male looks like, not experience something (huge breasts) that few women are given in the first place.
Look, it's plainly obvious. Women are hypocrites when it comes to telling a man that it doesn't matter. Really? Let's apply the same logic in both directions. Stop getting your hair colored and cut every 8 weeks. Stop applying makeup before you go out. Stop exercising. Stop clothes shopping for new items that will enhance your appearance. Stop getting manicures and pedicures and tanning and waxing and every other thing a woman does to be more attractive and desirable. Everybody wants to feel at least decent about their appearance. This is different for everyone and it manifests in different ways. Some guys want to get shredded 6 packs, some guys don't care about lifting at all. Some are into fashion, some wear dad sneakers at 25. Hell, even some guys don't care about losing their hair. But not having the choice to do anything about it is what sucks so bad.
I wonder how a thread like this fit in the '' New Research, Studies, and Technologies'' session. I must be too ignorant to realize it, but it seems to me like another one of those infamous forum-polluting ''mistakes''.

This is the only part of the forum I visit, so my mistake... I really hope you can handle this "infamous forum polluting mistake" bro!
It would be very interesting to research how and why the "looks don't matter" mantra was born during the last decades (I bet in the 19th century this was not even a thing).
My girlfriend also acts like its no big deal. But i tell her its like her going out without makeup. It hits home a little but she still cant grasp it totally. She thinks a "new haircut" will make things better for me. Its just not that simple.And you missed the biggest point. We all used to have full heads of hair.
