I don't know about Dutch, what would it be? "Hij heeft een wijkende haar lijn"? I've never heard that.

In French it would be: "Il a une ligne frontale qui recule." You would never hear that crap, it sounds weird, even behind people's back.

Clearly there is something in the Anglosphere culture that makes them very shallow about a man's hair.

The women from the UK and the US must be trained during their childhood and later by the media to spot balding in men.

Most of the time here in Belgium, a NW3 is not balding in the eyes of women.

Definitely higher standards and critique in Anglo nations. Many years ago I went to Antwerp, this is before I had a receding hairline but I could tell the girls had a certain innocence not seen in the UK generally. Again, it could be because I was foreign though, but the girls were more friendly.

Onto your Norwood scale question, Norwood 3 with thick density would not be too bad even in the UK. I've had no issue as a Norwood 2.5 with girls but it is noticed. If you're a diffuser ior over Norwood 3 you are noticed everywhere. That's not media or childhood training, you just need eyes to tell that.

If you could keep your mouth closed and just speak french youd be okay for a bit...... IF you could get them to talk to you initially. But god forbid you say something ONE doesnt like then youre screwed and just the weird bald guy.

"Hij heeft een terugtrekkende haarlijn", my derm used it once. Still, people never seem to use that sentence.

Funny you would say that, my girlfriend is from Antwerp, and she's exactly like you describe. You can even tell that the girls there are more friendly than the ones I meet in Brussels.

She never mentioned baldness to me. Me! The guy who was a slick NW5 at the age of 23 and got a hair transplant at 24.

She truly seems to believe that bald men just shave their heads, and her friends and family too. Baldness does not appear on their radar, to them, a guy is attractive or not, even if he's bald.

That's why I think, and I know it makes swingline go mad, that this "badness is a deal-breaker" mentality is a social construct.

Women in the anglosphere for example were taught to hate bald men. The guy could be attractive to them, but wait! He's bald, then no sorry.

When I think about the worst experiences I've had because of my baldness, what was the nationality of the people involved? British men and recently a girl who lived in the US and the UK.

That's no coincidence.

I have to disagree here and have done before. I do agree with you on the girls in Europe being more innocent and friendly. But baldness "hate" is not a social thing. It's been proven men with hair are more attractive. These same girls may not understand or know baldness but if a guy goes in with full hair and then goes in buzzed/shaved, it will make a difference to his looks most likely. It happens at a subconscious level.

Do you think men would start liking bald women and despising ones with full hair if the media tried that on us? No it wouldn't work. Even in the PC world we live in people still see anything like baldness, disability, fat as negative points, attraction is innate. Baldness in some ways is worse as we all know, changes your identity and look big time.

I believe baldness makes one lose attraction points and is a hurdle during the "getting to know one another" phase. Beyond that, it may not be too bad if you have other factors that make up for it.

For me, I hate having less hair on my head - it's a personal thing and not related to girls.

It kills me because I feel like my potential is always now just that far away.

Plus everywhere you turn bald guys are made to look like this.

Go 25 seconds in until 28 seconds.

Someone insults you and you're supposed not to react and smile right? No negativity allowed as hellouser explained.

I'm sick of that positivity trend on the internet. I call it delusion. Life can be beautiful, but it can often suck big time.

Burying you head in the sand while thinking about unicorns and rainbow to deny a harsh reality will lead you straight to insanity.

A guy is in a severe depression because he's ignored by women and mocked by society due to his baldness, and what does the NW1 crowd come up with?

"I don't know man, you're too negative, just stay positive!" About what?! You need a reason to be positive.

I think your problems are much bigger and complicated then hair loss...

i know how u feel swingline

i have almost no motivation to improve or try to become successful tbh. i dont really care cuz like u said its like im permanently deteriorated anyways, wats the point?

other than just buying random crap, which i dont care about, excess money and success wont make me happier i feel

i guess just the increased status wud be the main reward

but id rather be middle class and look decent than upper class and ugly/old lookinf from baldness

Funny how guys are so concerned about their hair but let everything else go to ****. Seems like a trend around here :roll:


The worst type of bald guy is a LAZY bald guy as Larry David says

"But the bald man who doesn't make the effort to compensate for his
baldness is in trouble. The last thing the bald man needs is to get
lazy. A lazy bald man is done. Show me a lazy bald man, and I'll show
you a miserable bald man. The lazy bald man who needs a shave and goes
out in sweatpants and a T-shirt might as well hang it up. That's not
how we compete in the hair world. I say to the lazy bald man that he's
making it harder for the rest of us

Was in a tool box talk the other day, and out of no where the foreman says to one of the team leaders ''(name), are you bald?" (he's a NW6 at 36)

Our whole team was in the lunch room where we conduct our daily tool box talks, and responses in a shocked manner, face literally when stoned white and replied ''no, just a bitt of thinning" Keep in mind he has never taken his touqe off once since he started working. I briefly seen it off for a quick a distant area such as in his piece of equipment. Room literally went silent, and he then replies 'what kinda question is that', whilst everyone laughing. Again, privileged guy wins, and bald-shames another man as if it isn't a big deal.


But if someone had cancer it would be a different story, oh poor soul! Bald-shaming on other hand is allowed.
