Insecure about being bald

You don't cope. You move on. You lift, you dress well and you perfect your social skills. You don't think about stuff you can't change.

Now is the time to make a huge decision: Do you hold onto this turd of insecurity? Or do you just leave it where it is?

Most guys will swaddle the turd like a baby and carry it around. You need to let it go. It's a binary choice. Insecurities or success. That's your decision to make.

Just finished shaving mine for the 1500th time.

Acceptance my friend.

Hair = can be good Bald = can be good In the middle = bad 100% of the time

My recommendation is buzz with a #3 and try it out. I think you will find it is not anywhere near as bad as you think it’ll be.

My friends say they don’t even remember me with hair and this is because I own it. Do the same.

When I was around 20, two guys in our crowd were already badly balding. Not only did they not shave it off, they were both kinda fat.

Yet, they still pulled good looking women. There was evidence then and evidence now that game and confidence trump looks... or can anyway. No. They didn't have money.

I was a bit luckier. I had the slow, agonizing thinning throughout my 20s. By 30, I finally started shaving it bald. I got better looking women (and more) AFTER shaving my head.

You have to own it. We can't make you own it. We can't convince you to own it. This is something you have to internalize.

I became bald by 20. The first few months were tough. I just couldn't get used to it(I was good looking when I had hair). I shaved my head and sure enough I don't get looked at as much as I used to. But there's nothing I can do about it and it's not the end of the world.

Honestly dude, this happened to me at 21. I've been shaving since 21 and I fucking hate it. Yeah I can get laid, get girls, and live my life. But the top notch girls don't look at me the way they did when I had hair. I good head of hair is a major SMV boost. Losing your hair can knock you down 2 points. Just facts.

Good news is, you don't have to listen to the "just shave it" bros like I did. If it's just starting for you, get on finasteride and apply minoxidil once a day for at least a year to see results. I've started with those two and I'm planning on a hair transplant in the near future. Some of the things they can do now with FUE transplants is dark magic.

One time I shaved my head not because I was balding but because I felt like it.

When I went to the gym a girl that I knew from the gym came up and admitted to me that she didn't recognize me and got the tingles when she saw me. You would be surprised at how attractive a shaved head and beard can be for a girl if it's accompanied by muscle.

Work on what you have got rather than what you haven’t.

I was thinning and a good friend told me to shave it.

Fucking mortified at first, sure women will have a preference but get lean, get a chiselled face and own it.

It’s only a problem if you make it that way.

Most women prefer a man confident and bald than a full head of hair on a man who’s uncertain of himself.

Some people have big noses, big lips, small or big whatever. Its normal to be different we buy this social media crap of having to be perfect like everyone else (which are only 1% of the people) . But sometimes its not possible to be like other people. Im short and i cant become taller no matter how insecure or confident i feel i will not. But what can i do? People get dealt different cards its unfair but it happens we just have to accept it and live with what we have.

There are always solutions to every problem. You got an ugly face then use make up or do surgery that is one solution for some. You are short? Use taller shoes or surgery. You have no hair? Then use a wig or a hair transplant. I mean sure it cost a lot but there are always solutions. Its up to you to find it.

Remember its all about perspective. Now you get the chance to use different wigs and experiment with different hairstyles that people will not have the chance to try. You can shave your head and be a badass like David Goggings or The rock. I mean you can just find reason to like it, find solutions or just be sad about it its up to you.

I can't buy into the Rock and Statham argument, since they are rich and they are twice my age really.

You'd be the first person I've ever seen say how it is rather than some fantasy 'get bald, jacked and be like that movie star with 10 million dollars.' At least you don't bullshit yourself, accepting yourself and flaws is the first and hardest step - some women do infact prefer less hair.

Hair implants, buzz #3 or shave it off. Your choice, it's not the end of the world bro. Coping is for actually hard things.

JohnZoffman · 2021-03-28T14:45:35+00:00

Jason statham has been pulling the best looking girls since before being famous.

Dont grow a beard, keep a light stubble at best. Bald and beard is a shit look.

Try finasteride before anything else
