WOW......just WOW. Bro you are WAY to wrapped up in what others think and even though you are older, you are not wiser in this instance. You really and I mean REALLY need to not care so much about what others think and stop equating lost hair on your head like a deceased spouse or the loss of both arms. It's frigin hair man and thats it, JUST HAIR. Losing hair does not mean you are less of a man. You should not "grieve" the loss of hair. Part of being mature is accepting ones self and making the best of the lot god has given you, not hiding behind a ball cap. For all you know these women that bash bald guys may very well be bashing guys that wear hats 24/7 when you are not there. You make statments such as "it's a FACT that hair is better and always will be". OK, so what? What are you gonna do about it? Are you gonna sit there and cry me a frigin river or are you gonna telll them to take their "facts" and shove it and just be yourself? You started your most recent post off with "you can tell yourself whatever you want to make yourself feel better" but the only one I see doing that here is you. Good God man, screw anyone who is so shallow they can't see past you having hair or not and beleive in yourself!!! Besides why on earth would you want to be with a women who slams you from the word go with "bald dude, what happened?" Losing hair is not the end of the world, it is a part of life for some men and women, DEAL WITH ITAND GET OVER IT. You should have stand up and just be yourself and be proud of who you are. In this instance I think your lack of self esteem is the issue and not your hair. When you beleive in yourself enough and can mature past this hangup, then post your replies.
