| Bald person here.. I've been waiting for this question since I was 19; when I started to lose my hair. When I was 14, my mom pulled back my hair line and asked my dysfunctional father if I was going bald. Talk about a "What the fuck are you doing" moment. At 17, I was getting depressed about being bald. I would look in the mirror trying to see how much it changed.
At 21, I said fuck it. I'm a sexy beast, see me shine! I went through phases during my hair loss. 1. Keeping my hair wet to hide the fact it's thinning
2. Trimming it down, combing it forward and swirling the back so make it look "tight"
3. Trimming it very low and looking like a boss
4. Shaving it down to the skin and having people ask me why I don't grow my hair out Here's how I coped with it. I was honest with myself. Sure I would like to have hair, but I'm not Elon Musk.
Did it impact my success with women? Yes, I think I get more women being bald. Why? I don't know honestly. Am I built like Jason Statham? More like a lean James Corden. To make my situation, I'm a hairy man; pale (programmer) and I have a belly. I'm also seriously hairy... The only places I don't have hair is on my head, forehead, and palms; ironic right? Not on my palms? Wait until this shit turns gray... I'm going to look like a fucking Yeti. Find your true source of confidence. It's not your hair, income, or job. It's the confidence you have in your ability to change. I know you like having hair, but it's not what defines you. Plus, you're over 40 and thinning out. Congrats you lucky bastard :) I hope you mentally get past your fears and concerns. Be honest with yourself buddy. |
