Is going bald really that traumatic for men? They all seem so sad
>>84476176What human emotion is this?
>>84476176I would imagine they just lost a little piece of their soulXD
>>84476183It might be andric or nage, maybe loric.
>>84476176Of course it is. Losing your hair is fucking horrible.
yes it's fucked up I'm glad I have hair
>>84476176I wonder how you'd feel if you lose your hair forever.
it is fucked, i'm taking finasteride
im bald, i buzzed my head a couple times in my teens and 20s, so it wasnt that awful when i had to decide to shave my head because my hairline was too fucked. hairloss is kind of like the stages of grief for most guys
>>84476176Women can lose their hair too. It's so brutal
>>84476176I knew it was going to happen because my grandparents were bald.It still doesn't make it suck any less now that I'm in my 30s and my hair is thinning.The one silver lining is that I'd get a buzz cut most summers anyways and my head doesn't have any weird lumps so I'm used to the hairless look.
>>84476263None of my grandparents were bald luckily. Neither was my father or my uncles
>>84476176i notice only faggot men do this. they treat balding like women treat their periods. going bald is like some form of ritual to them
>>84476258One of my terrors is losing my hair. Id hang myself
>>84476283because its like a funeral retard, when you finally decide to shave your head its like a goodbye to your hair for the rest of your life. unless you want to get a hair transplant and take fin for your entire life
>>84476235>finasterideBro why you taking tranny drugs, you gonna wear a dress and suck dick as well?
>>84476197>Nage is the term for a flavored liquid used for poaching delicate foods, typically seafood. A traditional nage is a broth flavored with white wine, vegetables, and herbs, in which seafood is poached.
>>84476176thats because bald people get treated like shit.im bald.when i put on a hat people treat me literally 3x better. if i take it off and they realize im bald they instantly turn against me.i think that's why a lot of bald guys wear hats, not because they're ashamed but because you literally get treated 3x better if strangers dont know you're bald yet.
also there are many studies showing bald men are more intelligent and i think going bald is related to knowing too much about the world and the more you know about the world you can't help but get stressed and depressed about it which are the main causes of hair loss no matter what anyone says idc.
>>84476310What type of things do strangers do when they realise you're bald?
>>84476293I have to take steroid injections to the scalp or else I lose my hair
>>84476322their mood immediately sours and they become dismissive of you. you will not get anything out of them after that point. the invisible walls have been put up.
>>84476323there's a conspiracy theory believed by many that if you simply put hydrocortisone cream on your scalp every day you'll grow hair like crazy, faster/better than finasteride or that other shit i forgot. they don't want you to know. simply read the hydrocortisone side effects: overgrowth of hair in applied area.
>>84476321Is this how you cope? Too smart to have hair?
>>84476323Thats good, most people want help but either dont know or wont get it.
>>84476326Wow, i didnt realise that was how people were.I guess people are shit
>Is going bald really that traumatic for men? As someone who baldceled in their mid-20s, yes.Perhaps the worst thing after being ass-raped, or having our dick cut off.>They all seem so sadNo shit. We've lost something. Yet another reason for inceldom now. Yes, bald Chads can still do well. We are not them.Also, the constant head-shaving is a pain, so I now grow it out and slick back the sides, like Robert Duvall.I'm also basically obligated to have a beard too, as I look too weird without one. TFW big-cheeks babyface.Weirdly, despite that and the manletism, I get some likes and matches; but they never speak or want to fuck. TFW perma-incel.
>>84476176vanity>>84476183>What human emotion is this?despair
>>84476977>despairThe worst one
>>84476176That "man" is a pussy-ass-bitch. And his gay married. I know he's married because I see the ring and the photograph is mirrored which makes that his left hand and ring finger. Same finger he sticks up his husband's asshole. Oh and I know he's a fagot because he's wearing a watch like a stupid little fagot bitch
>>84476176I'm not taking it well.
>>84476176what i understand from this thread is that if i go bald i'm shaving my beard too.
>>84477014New ick unlocked men wearing smart watches
>>84476176If you have a bad head shape and can't grow facial hair, it will ALWAYS look like shit and drop your attractiveness down several points.
>>84476176>Is going bald really that traumatic for men?Yes because it means that you are a semite
my hair is cool and Id hate to lose it, this is why women have it on easy mode above all else, they dont have to worry about losing a physical part of themselves. I wouldn't even recognise me without my hair which is why I WILL be finasteridemaxxing if it begins to migrate and as a last resort using a hair system. Theres a hair system shop 1 minute from my apartment and a co worker admitted to having one and I didn't even realise thats how fucking realistic they are.iwillnotbebaldI also do not understand why it is a thing, it is cold in europe, why would you shed hair? it insulates, it protects from the sun, there is 0 benefit to baldom evolutionary, this should never have been a thing and why haven't they fully cured it yet? on a side note I'm drinking 2 green teas and 30g of pumpkin seeds a day for its DHT blocking effect.
>>84476176It's so weird to me that men choose to go bald in 2026 and then get sad about it. There is a cure for that, if you let it happen that's on you.
>>84476183holding back the tears
>>84476176In the beginning yeah, it's like your life is over now. Just get a hair transplant
>>84476176yes.t. went bald before 20i feel like a guy whose soul was run over by a truck and now only exists as a mangled limbless version of itselfand there's no respite anywhere, even my suffering is subject of ridicule and cruel mockery
>>84477158this is what women are choosing to believe lately to justify their hatred of bald menvictim blaming because they heard the guy whose hairline receded by 0.1 cm at 30 went on medication and it totally stopped
>>84477114>why haven't they fully cured it yet?The people in charge believe your suffering is a virtue
>>84477193>this is what women are choosing to believe lately to justify their hatred of bald menThere are evolutionary explanations why women dislike bald men
>>84476176>Is going bald really that traumatic for men? for those who were boyish and never really particularly masc it's legit suicide fuel, some extremely unlucky people have weak puberty and are still hypersensitive to dht so they end up looking like cancer patients without intervention and can't even do the bald+beard cope
Im already norwood 4If i hopped on fin and min right now how much could I grow back?
>>84476183The "I'll never be able to date girls like this cutie because of my genes" emotion.
>>844774782 if you're lucky, at least a 3 though, dut over fin if you're that far gone and want to be serious about recovering whatever you can, also min in either form is a lifelong commitment, the hair you grow on it is completely dependent on it
>>84476176balding young ruined my life>>84477177im so sorry>>84477158i started balding at 15 and was already nowood 2 going onto 3 at 18. some of us never had a chance >>84477478i went from norwood 4 to norwood 1 with hair transplant bro. 4000 grafts
>>84477498you on fin? what do you take to retain it. Can it grow long or is transplanted hair sort of limited to medium styles?
>>84477498Hoe much did it cost?Starting to think thats my only option
>>84477498lucky you got curly hair
>>84477513im not on fin, just topical min as i was only balding in the front and that is fixed now. if i start balding in the back i will probably start finasteride. the reason i never took fin is i lost most of my hair by the time i was 18 and then i heard about fin but got fearmongered so most of my hairloss had already happened before i could ever take fin. desu i still consider everyday because i want to thicken up the density and prevent crown hairloss but im sorta mindraped by the fear mongering and i dont really need it so whatever. Fin is amazing for preventing. Minoxidil is meh for regrowth the only miracle thing is hair transplant. Currently i do a 10-20 minute scalp massage with my fingers on tender areas which i find is effective. >>84477523$5000 for 4000 grafts, FUE, done in Thailand by surgeon named Dr. Patty . I would suggest r/hairtransplants is the best place to find the current best doctors. Thailand and turkey are very good. Thailand has 3-4 really good doctors and was dirt cheap, this 4000 grafts would have cost me like 7-8k or more in turkey i think. although thailand is slowly getting more expensive. The price is based on how many grafts you need. each hair graft contains either 1-5 hairs. so usually theyll pick your best grafts from the back of you head that have the most hairs the ones with 3-5 usually so they can give you good density. mine was a little over a dollar a graft. most top surgeons have a few months to a year waitlist. You dont need to be on any meds to get a transplant, the booking appointment is a 3 minute video call where they ask you if youre taking fin/min to stabilize hair loss you can say yes and then they explain the risks of the procedure and you pay down payment 20%. >>84477541eh i want wavy or straight hair so i can do zyzz hairstyle brah. curly is too crazy but i guess its better for frauding slightly more density.
>>84476176they wouldn't be so sad if people weren't repulsed by them
>>84476176yes. i am 21 soon and am NV3 and slowly creeping into NV4 territory. I'm doing what i can to slow it down/reverse it which is minox and Ketoconazole. the waiting time for dermatologists here is really long so i wasn't able to see one yet but it feels like everything is already in vain. i lost my most important years and what good will finally having the money for a TP do me when i am 30 or something.It really is traumatic and makes me want to kill myself pretty often.Just another source of ropefuel in my faggot incel life
>>84476176It's the male version of hitting the wall, of course it's traumatizing.
>>84477911post wall women can still find simps and at least they have their entire 20s to spendbalding is more like the equivalent of being disfigured
>>84477958I lost my hair when I was 19 and shortly after started gaining weight from stress eating. It was over for me before it ever began
>>84476183"oh my god do i really look like that please fucking kill me now" i think
>>84477866My hairline is intact and there's some regrowth so I suspect my hair loss is autoimmune. I should probably get that checked out before I end up like old Christopher Reeves
>>84476176It's like when women discover they don't have a penis.You "lose" what made you potent and living.Now you only have a smooth mound of impotence and despair, and envy; while others have what you don't...
>>84476176Serious question is finasterid the real solution? I have heard about guys claiming that hair loss is not from dht but from inflammation killing off your hair roots.
>>84478282In some cases. That would be scarring alopecia or alopecia areata
>>84478317Any study to back that up? I mean it makes sense that your body stops growing hair if it is under inflamantory stress since hair is not necessary for survival. Taking anti inflammatory food and supplements should help.
>>84478349>hair is not necessary for survival.It is for women
>>84478282Finasteride is used by transsexual people Need i say more?
>>84476258It can happen but that shit is rare. More or less a woman has to get fucked genetically. For black women that shit is like 70% a result of them ripping their own hair out through constantly getting tighter and tighter weaves
it nullified my chances at having a normal lifeit turned my life into suffering until i die
going bald stressed me out a lot when it started happening to me (18 y/o). i was in college too, so that's just great.now i don't really care, i let my hair grow out too
>>84476176It is not that bad, just different for some people like the guy in the OP image. Must be a shock. But it is only hair. No big deal. I'm usually bald/buzzcut by choice and it's much less hassle.
>>84478390It happens more than you think. A lot of women hide it using wigs
You can rock baldness with the right bone structure
>>84476183>it's all over but it is what it is
>>84478485Wait, so you are balding, with long hair?
