GeminiX said:I *think* so, I was obese and bald (but 5'10).
Personally speaking, being overweight had far more impact on my life than losing my hair (though I was not particularly fond of either).
Being obese is also self inflicted, even if psychology pays a part in it. One cannot really control if you'll be bald or short; as such being obese tends to be more of a stigma than the other two, though I never really had any social issues from being a bald fatty
i would rather be fat AND short with a full head of hair than medium height, medium build with slight recessionBelmondo said:Do you agree that male pattern baldness is worse than obesity but not as bad as short stature?
Do not agree...somone uk said:i would rather be fat AND short with a full head of hair
Completely agree!somone uk said:fatness is easy to remedy, compared to male pattern baldness
You can do hair transplant and I don't think it will take more than 10 years until scientists come up with a way to use stem cells to grow hair. I am following this stuff closely and even now people can already grow organs in the lab.I agree. If I was fat I could lose weight, but being bald sucks cause there is nothing you can do.

The sister's husband, who is in his late thirties, is also obese, unattractive, and not exactly a genius. He has a job normally filled by highschool-age students and can't be making much more than minimum wage. However, he has a ridiculously full head of hair that most guys on this forum would kill for.
I'm 29, and I'm probably about a NW2.5, and if treatments don't work I would assume that I'll end up a NW3A or so in a couple of years. I'm about 6'4" and weigh 210 pounds. I work out four times a week and played competitive sports in highschool and college. I am also a professional and live in an upper-middle class suburb with my wife and son. I would not trade places with my brother in law. 'Nuff said? :whistle:
If all you care about is women then just concentrate on being in shape/being interesting/having a good career/projecting self confidence. The vast majority of women care way more about that stuff than they do about what's on your head. A friend of mine is a near-horseshoe but does very well for himself because he is confident, in great shape, and interesting.
Thanks for posting this, inspired me, i've been down for a while now ....sergiotahini said:My wife is adopted. Her older sister (not blood related) is obese, unattractive, and not very bright.

GeminiX said:Hey Smooth, hang in there
I wish I could give you the exact steps to feeling better, all I can do is tell you what worked for me and assure you that it's possible, even when you're right on the brink of the abyss, to turn things around.
In my case I worked out exactly what it was about my life which I hated so much and put together a list of steps I had to complete to get to where I wanted to be. The hard part was to be completely honest with *myself* and admit to myself what the issues were and stop fretting over the things I simply had to accept as I would never be able to do directly change them.
Hope this helps,

Smooth said:GeminiX, everytime i read your posts i feel better (and im a very hard man to please in that sense!), so thank you !
i think its very easy to blame things on hair loss, although i still believe it effects our lives, just have to do whatever in our power to get back on there...
