A possible realization to an old rejection... What do you think?

Around 3 years ago I invited a German girl to my house, a girl who I had been fooling around with for some time. When I told her to come over that day, we hadn't seen each other in 4 or 5 months.

She lived very far, like an hour and a half away, so the plan was to talk a bit and then cook dinner together --and then well, we didn't talk about the rest but we knew what came afterwards--.

So she made the 1 and a half hour trip, arrived at my house, but since the first moment I noticed something weird in the way she looked at me. I thought that maybe it was something that I said so I just didn't pay attention to it. After about 15 minutes of talking, I said something like "well let's have a drink and maybe a snack before we start cooking?", and she said "hmmm... actually I think I'm gonna go". I was really surprised at that response, and she added some lame excuse like "yeah I have to wake up early tomorrow" or something like that.

She left and I was absolutely astonished. I asked myself a thousand times what had happened... Why did she travel one hour and a half and left after only 15 minutes?

I never really knew and had a thousand theories, until today when I saw a picture of myself during those days, and noticed my hair. This was 3 years ago, when I started losing my hair, and my hairline was already receded badly, pretty noticeable and unattractive already, especially for a young girl (I was 26 and she was like 21). It's worth mentioning that after she left that day I was never able to make contact with her again.

Is it possible that my hair was the deal breaker? I can't find any other reasons as to why she would have left like that, especially since we had our history. I think she would have been more forgiving if the problem was something I said (even more considering she had to travel another hour and a half!!!).

Any thoughts?? Or maybe I'm going crazy already? :p

Damn. It's probably your hair. What else could it be anyway?

I'm starting to realise that my recent "struggle" with women might be due only to my hair loss too.

I mean, I get my fair share of women, but there always seems to be this passive reserve towards me, it's hard to explain.

I look at old pictures with my ex-girlfriends and you can almost see in their eyes that they're not truly there with me. That they were with me out of spite somehow.

I mean, my girlfriend started to tell me how much happy she was with me only recently, coincidently with the time my FUE results truly became apparent. It's something no girl had said to me before.

A few days ago, her friends even told her she was lucky to be with me and that I was a great guy, so it seems people's reactions towards me are changing because of my successful FUE (so far) too.

It's a relief and scary at the same time, are women and people in general that shallow and under the influence of the halo effect?!

I'm under the impression that in some months, I'll be playing the dating game in very easy mode, and that suddenly girls will all of a sudden having feelings for me, not only use me for one-night stands or because I'm funny and entertaining.

You can definitely get by in life without hair like I did for a few years, but there will always be some resentment and passive disgust from women and people towards you, only because your lack of hair makes you somehow unpleasant to them.

Dating now for me is not even in 'Very Hard', it's more like 'Iron Man' mode or something like that. If I look at my dating history, it's pretty obvious that together with hair loss, the attractiveness of the women I dated also went down, until today where I haven't had a single serious date with a girl I'm attracted to in years.

In your case, since you're dating now with no major issues you're going to make a killing with hair. As for myself, judging from the medication results so far, I have high hopes of having decent hair in 5-6 months and get back in the game. Hopefully next year we'll be discussing hair styles :p

But yeah, the shallowness towards baldness is incredible. If that girl would have shown up a bit fatter I wouldn't have cared at all. But most girls, especially young, hot 21 year olds, have a zero-tolerance policy for balding signs.

Damn did your appearance change that much in the 4-5 months since you last saw her? That is the difference between men and women. If the roles were reversed and her appearance took a turn for the worse(ie weight gain), you would have at least stayed and had dinner and sex with her, then left and never called her back. Women can be harsh.

Maybe she didn't like the shirt you had on, c'mon women have change of heart moments and not for the most logic reasons.

Unfortunately yes... Went from total thick full head of hair to important hairline recession. One year after that (2 years ago) I was almost completely bald. My hair looks a bit better now though, thanks to the meds.

You guys are nuts, it's the same with blacks blaming everything on the skin color. Not even going to argue, if you think it was the hairline recession then believe what you want.

I don't rule out other possibilities, but I was wearing a great shirt :p

I used to think it was because I hadn't kissed her yet, I was being a bit slow. But now I don't see that as a valid reason to leave in 15 minutes, I think she would have waited a bit more.

Another theory I had is that maybe the room temperature wasn't right, but again doesn't sound like a valid reason to flee the scene, without at least commenting on it first.

Okay, Okay you're probably right. It was the shirt.

I wouldn't dwell on it. Women use uniquely absurd logic to rationalize their often rude, blithely and willfully ignorant behavior. It could have been anything.

Maybe she did maybe she did not. I think the pattern of data somewhat establishes a fact that hair loss adversely impacts us more than any one else. Overall we clumsily live and deal with it every single day. They can't possibly know what that feels like and I don't believe they care as much as we are convinced they do, but nevertheless the cackling voices inside OUR heads regularly shout I AM NOTHING WITHOUT MY HAIR. It's not uncommon for victims/sufferers to want to seek and destroy their perpetrators, persecutors, or oppressors, but the brutal reality ultimately persists and we end up sabotaging our youth and productive/creative future goals. Justified or not vengeance can not resurrect our hair. So I had a beautiful girl who might of left me because of a receding hair line. I can totally blame her and not blame her simultaneously. I don't feel any better saying it, and to be fair if she would have stayed my very own insecurity with my hair loss would have made it impossible for her not to go. Hair loss likes to remind me that I'll never get everything I want.

I had a similar situation with the girl I was seeing before I met my wife. Over the course of a few short months she completely closed me out of her life and the whole time I was asking her why she was pushing me away. She just didn't have the guts to tell me the truth. I realize now it was the fact that I started balding around that time. Of course she didn't want to come off as a shallow bad guy… makes sense in retrospect.

You could think that but a smelly vigina or not feeling right are temporarily and she never contacted him afterwards. Hopefully you get what I mean.

That makes sense completely. Around the time that the German girl thing happened, I was also talking a lot with my ex gf, we were talking a lot about us and it seemed that we were going to get back together. We went to have dinner, but at the end of the night she rejected my kiss and we never saw each other again. This could have been something else though, and I don't think my ex would be so shallow, but now that you mention that it's possible that my balding signs could have been at least a factor. I remember that while we were dating she said once: "hair is very important". She seemed a bit obsessed with my hair, I now also recall that once she even made a PowerPoint presentation of hair styles that would fit me better!

But unfortunately, this is all inconclusive evidence. And I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

Didn't read that part sorry, still could be anything, maybe she found someone else.
