Is balding emotionally equivalent to a mastectomy?

Bullit

I think it is emotionally similar.

Both are unavoidable alterations to your physical appearance that can drastically alter your self perception.

And, in fact, losing your hair is far more outwardly apparent.

Yea, you can't stuff tissues in your scalp..


So do you agree Y?

Yet a chick would joke about a guy losing hair, yet there is no way on earth you could joke about 'ol' 1 boob'.
 
I agree. My thinning hair has caused havoc on my life.

The thinner the hair, the bigger I have to get. lol
 
For instance....
A member here was taking gear and getting great results, but losing his hair. He stopped taking the gear... the importance of hair outweighed the importance/expense of the gear.

I really dont think dames come even close to appreciating the impact it has.

I had a close friend lose a breast and her hair from chemo treatments a few year's ago. Talk about shitty luck, huh?!
 
this is half the reason i started lifting weights. at age 24 on my list of credentials for becoming the next star of The Bachelor i had:

1. computer guy (fuckin' A, ladies)
2. pale skin
3. receding hairline
4. skinny and developing a gut

had to cross one of those off the list

killing off #1 - nah
killing off #2 - i either get skin cancer and end up buried in a tanning bed later in life or run around being "that orange guy" if done the safe way
killing off #3 - what can ya do? doesn't bother me all that much

As a female, do you see how they would be equivalent?
 
You can stop it and reverse it Colon.

Finasteride
Minoxidil
Spiro
Nizoral
And a crap load of other stuff.....but it takes time...alot of time.
 
No way is losing some hair equivilant to a woman losing a boob.
 
that's a whole lotta money to spend on saving your hair though. chicks don't really give that much of a shit about whether or not you're bald. show up with some balls and a wicked sense of humor and they wouldn't notice if you were wearing a wig made of bananas

Holy fuck is that wrong. Soooooooooooo wrong.

How long have you been with your gf?

Kim, my pal, had more of a problem with the thought of herself being bald than the lost breast! She knew she would get the breast reconstructed. Silly thing was, but she was MORE worried her new hair would come in WHITE and NOT curly like it was!

I love bald men so the balder a man is,THE BETTER!
 
I don't know... I think going bald is worse. I see guys who are going bald, but are in denial... using the combover or trying to have normal haircuts, while the whole middle of their head is barren. I feel bad for these guys. Most girls I talk to immediately discount a guy if he is bald. Case closed. If I were to ever go bald... which would never happen unless I was on heavy chemo therapy I would just do the total shave and accept it. Nobody buys the skirted eggshell look.

I think it's more like seeing your young perky high boobs go south for enternity.

But that is in no way obvious to anyone on the street. Nobody can tell but you and your man.
With bras today it would have very little impact on your attractiveness to the opposite sex.

Its more than that.

Go home tonight and shave your head or go home tonight and cut off your left nipple. Go ahead pic one?

Exactly. It fucking sucks.

I find it so ridiculous that broads will bug a guy about his hair, but if you bug them about their fat ass then YOU are teh complete asshole.
And imagine the shit that would fly if you made some comeback about a chicks mastectomy.

I have shaved my head since I was 22, that was 13 years ago.

Never had a problem with woman.

I could only see it begin a problem if you had low self esteem.

Holy shit... if I had a choice then I would pick the nipple.
 
ColonCowboy said:

a year in a few days i think. i guess what i should've said is that balding is easily trumped by money, self confidence, and funnies.

basically look at this way. you've got the ultimate guy in terms of what women want: looks, money, power, confidence, sense of humor, warm-hearted

which would be the first of those traits that a quality female would allow to be chipped away at and still maintain her attraction to him?

looks

You will have to take my word for it but I have dated woman that are stunning. There are a ton o woman who find it sexy, granted not all men can pull off the look. I guess I am just lucky ;)

Sure there are woman out there who don't like bald men but there are also ones that don't like blondes, dark hair etc.

Good point, but let me ask you:

Guy A) : looks, money, power, confidence, sense of humor, warm-hearted

Guy B) money, power, confidence, sense of humor, warm-hearted (note the lack of 'looks').

Who will mack more broads?

Your point is kind of an 'after you already have the chick' thing.

exactly, once you go bald, you're in the bald category(TBC) "only girls that like bald guys category" you'll never know who you could have had or gotten with your hair. you are now in TBC. you'll never be the same, and you are now lowered to the 2% of women who like bald men. good luck with life

no different then with hair, with it you are already in a category as like I said some don't like blondes, dark hair etc.

Hair means nothing if you got nothing else to go with it.

I lost count of how many woman I went out with that had never dated a guy with a shaved head before. You either have it or you don't.

I have been on both sides and I will never grow it back.
 
I wish I could train and have a full head of hair. I hear you on the complaints bro.

I would run ten miles every morning for the rest of my life If I could keep my full head of hair.

Do an extra 10 sets of squats. etc...

When it`s out of your hands... it`s done.

Also, I just don`t know too much about the drugs thing to grow back. I`ve always heard if it`s gone it`s too late.

Oh well the wife does`nt mind so... lol

Stupid bitches. Its all about games.
 
so, men are worried about women not being attracted to them anymore if they are bald?

how do you think women feel after losing a breast?

women can see that a guy if bald right off the bat. if they still chose to date them, great. however, if a woman, who has lost a breast, starts dating a guy, her "situation" is not obvious. it will take one, two, three...however many dates before that guy realizes that she only has one breast. what are the chances he'll stick around then?

losing a part of your body - and one that men pay so much attention to - is far worse than a guy losing his hair.
 
Everyone that my fiancee knows here is bald once they are a certain age.
Therefore she considers it normal and don't care if I bald.

the only reason I don't want to bald is that I don't have the skin or head shape that would look good bald.
 
number of women who will date a bald man > number of men who will date a woman who is missing one breast

there is no comparison. shitloads of men lose their hair, choose to shave their heads, etc. much of the time, it's simply a part of getting older. yes, it will make you less attractive to many women. but you're still a man, still whole and intact, because hair is not an integral part of your body (it's constantly falling out since day 1, anyway). but, if a woman loses a breast, she has lost an important physical part of what it means to be (or at least look like) a woman. sounds incredibly traumatic to me. how often do women lose a breast? is there some shedding process that i don't know about?

a more fair comparison would be losing a testicle, but even then, i don't think it's the same (i have a feeling bullit would choose to keep his hair over one of his nuts, anyhow).

totally different.
 
SHAK -

"how do you think women feel after losing a breast? "
Exactly... please not I said "emotionally equivalent". The thing is that bitches don't realize how it effects men.


"losing a part of your body - and one that men pay so much attention to - is far worse than a guy losing his hair. "
WTF?!?!?! And chicks dont love a guys hair???
Gimmie a break.
A mans hair is incredibly imporatant to chicks.
 
I'm with Gonelifting. The thinner my hair, the bigger I have to be. I've kind of resolved to only worry about the things that I have control over. A lot less stress that way.
 
If you end up with fryer tuc though just shave the whole thing.

I'd cut off one toe from each foot if it meant i keep the hair i had when i was 21:D no i'm not joking

I would seriously consider that . no joke. I`m with you.
 
I care more about bodyhair. I hate the fact that the same chemicals that are responsible for my head hair falling out are causing me to grow hair in my ears and on my back.

I hate hair that isn't eyelashes, eyebrows, or head hair. Even then, eyebrows can be too hairy too.

and nosehairs - don't like them either.
 
My father had a lot of faults, but I forgive him
all of them, cause he died with a full head of hair!

How is it this thread got this far and nobody's mentioned hair transplants?
 
Imagine if as we aged we just lost bodyparts.
Like there were guys on here saying that they would give up their full head of hair if they could just get their left leg back.
"Life hasn't been the same since I lost my left leg when I turned 40 - I had great legs when I was 21."
 
Men is to Nice Hair
as
Women is to Boobs

At 41, I've gotten over it. Especially as it has gone salt/pepper
But when I started to lose it at 30, I was a bit concerned as I still felt a need to be attractive to women.

Now I just keep it short.
 
lol

You wanna try it? I`ll go first and let you know how it goes. No sense in both of us having 8 toes and no hair.

I should prob do it in my bathtub.

Gimme some pointers, One quick chop or very sharp saw action?

I think you should go real slow using a wood saw.
That would be best.


I'm crossing my fingers that your head sprouts hair within minutes, in which case I'll be buying a wood saw on my way home.

i wouldn't even give a crap....i'd shave my head the rest of my life....hell, i might start doing that anyway, and I am pretty sure I am not going to going bald...ever my grandfather on the mom's side is in his 80's, with a full head of hair.

No.

I love big titties, but if a chick is attractive and flat then I'm ok with that. Most guys are like that too... flexible on the tit size.

Girls are not that flexible on the hair issue. Don't kid yourself.

I think the" bald gene" is giving to you from your mom, so you need to kick your mom's ass if being bald bother's you!

Hair transplant? Dear God, I've seen some major "plug" goofs in my time. Gross! I do not think I've seen a good plug job in my life in fact. Most of 'em look like plucked chicken skin or pin cushions. Bald is far better, IMO!

On a side note, all you baldies need to post pictures of the domes. I'll prolly be aroused to climax in two short seconds...hehehe

Fuck it.
I'd turn gay, but I'd imagine that since men are even more superficial it would matter even more to them.


I'm now celibate.
 
Having hair does NOT necessarily make a guy better looking. In fact, having hair exposes men to all sorts of possible fashion blunders. Just as with a woman, a man's hairstyle tells a lot about him, his background, education, position, etc. No hair is always better than bad hair, which would include:

1) newscaster hair - overly-styled and frozen looking
2) televangalist hair - similar to above, but w/ more bouffant quality
3) "bangs" on any male past puberty
4) mullets
5) comb-overs
6) rugs
7) bad dye jobs - esp. that flat dead brown "Just For Men" color

If it were more acceptable, I know a lot of women who would relish the freedom from their hair.
 
has it come to this? Lmao......well if you had hair, you could get lice, or ummmm, you could get your hair dirty and that would be a bad thing, because you would have to wash it. if your bald, then ummmmm...you dont have to worry about your hair...yeah that's it :D

hahahahahaha...come on dude. you're talking about a girl being flat? i thought the argument was having one boob? i haven't heard anything from you about being attracted to a one-breasted woman.

i'd like to meet some of these superficial women that you seem to attract.

LOL.

Yeah sure there's always someting worse, but that dosent mean you gotta like what you got.

Like being bald is better than having an arm growing out of your head, sure... ok. But that dosent mean I should be thankful for losing my hair.
 
I honestly don't think most women give a shit about looks/hair. As long as the guy isn't ugly or morbidly obese, he has a chance. I totally believe this, and I see it everyday.

I'm by no means a handsome man, and I've attracted women who logically shouldn't have anything to do with me.

If not then you really don't have a leg to stand on.
 
(***In a Tony Montana Voice***) "You can say goodbye to the sex life," unless you are married and in that case you aren't getting any either.
 
There is truth to this to a certain existent, most women don’t really care if there BF or husband goes bald, because they’re already emotionally attached and know this person etc. Now, would this same women date a bald guy or go after bald guys, or find them attractive? very doubtful. But, once you are in your 30’s and above, there are a lot more women that don’t care as much about your hair, they care about confidence, protection(money) and what you can provide.

It's thinning a tad but I'm far from bald.

That being said, I've been really fat before and still had women interesed in me. I'd think being fat would be a bigger strike against you than a bald spot.

What kind of girls do you go for anyway? Maybe you need to re-evaluate your "type."

Losing a ball is 50x worse , as a guy u will get no sympathy , u kno ur date will tell all her girls behind ur back and have a good laugh at u. No guy is gonna joke about a woman's misfortune like that. I dont know but I imagine the pain aspect is much worse with the nuts 2.
Losing ur hair is so obvious , basically everyone knows that ur in the shit , then again u have to man the fuck up and get on with it pretty quickly.
Losing a breast is worse but a guy who dumps a woman cos she's got only tit is a worthless piece of shit and she's guarenteed at least the sympathy of her friends.
Losing a nut is pretty much death socially I think.

I would give this deep, deep consideration and cannot say what I would do unless the circumstance actually arose.
 
One of my close friends had one nut. It was no big deal. None of our friends ever gave him shit about it other than the once in a blue moon one liner.

He was as normal as everyone else. Lifted weights, played sports pulled alot of chicks. It was NEVER a problem. Never an issue in ANY part of his life.

My head is not shaped well for shaving and I have a receding hairline. That`s the worst of both worlds. lol

I`m married and my wife does`nt mind. But I DO.

I don`t Squat deadlift bench diet for other people, I do it because I like to look good. It gives me more confidence in public. Same with the hair. It`s frustrating though cause there`s nothing I could do about it.
