bald
short
fat
pick one.
if you have more than one of these flaws then your life is going to suffer and not only with dating.
the implication is a man losing his hair must always be in immaculate condition, at least that's what I'm told by the kind spirits who offer advice on forums like this. it's condescending when you think about it. if you're bald "you mustn't be XYZ or else".
you know when you have a flaw that is mentioned in the same breath as shortness or being a broke loser than you must be in trouble.
now I'm not saying give up or anything. that's be honest here, most of us will be living on this planet for years to come. it's advisable then to make the best of what we have. it's just such a bloody big burden, on your wallet, self esteem and mental health.
you can't be skinny.
you can't be pale. for many men these things take tremendous effort to build muscle, esp when you have genetic predispositions to be skinny, or you are light skinned and easily sun burnt. etc.
you must choose from limited hair style options.
etc.
the constant thoughts and rejections, both overt and covert.
hair loss falls squarely into the "trifecta" of doom for men, right with shortness or being overweight. your whole life is characterized by that one flaw . you have to compensate for it, but if you do people will chastise you for trying (compensation is frowned upon as insecurity).you can never win.
