Ok that was a bad example on my part I'll admit, what I wanted to say was, I don't really see the advantage to having a hair system for the purposes of some elaborate hair style.
I don't think that I have it. Every time that I asked a therapist about it, I was told that there is no test (is that true??) and that they did not personally notice anything about me that would indicate that. I've made a few friends over the past few years all by just saying hi during a common activity and then eventually trading contact details. The last time I was set up on a date via family, we chatted for like 2+ hours about stuff like favorite movies, future aims, growing up etc. We were in the restaurant over 2 hours and there was no lull in the conversation. As expected, she texted that she didn't feel a connection but the point I'm making is that there didn't seem to be any trouble with conversation. So I don't know but the evidence suggests that I don't have autism.
I was miserable and lonely when I was a NW0. You get what I'm saying? Hairloss made It worse, but It doesn't meant It was good before. If you're a happy chill out dude as a NW0, baldness wont be that big deal.
Well, no. Baldness will ruin almost everything good in your life. Plenty of guys on here have had their lives absolutely wrecked by baldness. And if you're miserable and lonely as a NW1, there is hope for you to fight out. As a bald guy, if you're miserable and lonely, that's the end and you won't be able to change your position in life.
Look, I get where you're coming from for sure, and you have a point but only in the sense of hair system styles that are out there to the point of ridiculousness. If I went from usual thin looking toppik filled low cut hair to a huge head of luxurious Brad Pitt or Justin Beiber looking hair the next day at work, people would have a field day of gossip behind my back. And I wouldn't blame them either. I actually don't really understand the phenomenon either with a lot of wearers with regards to these outlandish styles you see all over Youtube. Sure its fun to have hair again I guess, but at the same time you want it to be as realistic as possible. I am in the same boat as you with I don't want some sort of amazing/great hair. Just something simple to frame my face again. This is why a semi small one time transplant for my frontal region could be a realistic approach for me one day. I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't super dense at all. As long as it didn't look like doll's hair and I could shoot some fibers in it forever, I'd be thrilled to the moon.
A hair system is not for everyone. That is for sure. That being said you shouldn't ever let one, or even a few random guys on YouTube deter you from trying something that you think might make a real difference for you. This guy is also very new in the game. Over time the maintenance should come more naturally. That being said, not every guy is going to be "wired" so to speak to know how to confidently and properly deal with the maintenance of a hair system.
Been awhile since I posted anything. I'm surprised this thread got so many responses but I wanted to address a few things.
It sucks man and I dont have really high standards for women either. What annoys me is that female problems are usually fixable or coverable. Overweight, thinning hair, small boobs. All of these things are either 1. Not that big a deal as men generally have much lower standards 2. Can be fixed with diet or treatment or 3. Can be covered with makeup or pushup bra. But men who are short, bald, or just ugly in the face have no options. Looking at that short video of the guy with a basic hair system made me wish those were socially acceptable and it sounds like his gf is supportive. He also is a lot happier. I guess he lucked out. But unfortunately, generally speaking, if you use a hair system you are insecure and mocked for hiding the fact you are bald...yet if you walk around bald you will be mocked.
Look man. You seem like a nice guy and I hope your hair transplant helps you big. And yes, I'll admit I surf reddit and 4chan on blackpill sh*t, but I think you've been on here long enough to know how awful balding is to a guy. Maybe manlet was a poor choice of words but subhuman feels real to me. I live my life feeling inferior to almost everyone because almost everyone my age falls under 2 categories: Full set of hair or bald but can pull off the look better than I can. I feel like as a human I don't belong and that isolation is going to be my only fate. Even at work people seem impatient with me because my head makes people uncomfortable. And again, no cure. My only option now might be throwing 50k or more into skull augmentation surgery. Big risk but I'm starting to get desperate. There is a good chance the surgery will do Jack sh*t for dating but maybe it will make me look less disfigured and more approachable in platonic situations. I don't have the money saved yet but I've had consultation and they advised smoothing the saggetal and adjusting the contours on the back of my skull and frontal lobe for a normal skull shape.
Okay it was my 3rd transplant and I'll admit I'm way past the point of being bald. However I was already fully bald for a little while. It didn't last long.. only several months, but I know how it is because I experienced it first hand.
