Is it ever acceptable to laugh at someone dealing with hair loss?

[Notcoolanymore]

Is this always off limits or are there circumstances where this is acceptable? Being somebody who has been dealing with this s#!t for over 15 years I realize how devastating hair loss can be, and that under normal circumstances isn't something that I would laugh at or wish on anybody.

With that being said I think there are people that deserve to be stricken with male pattern baldness. Take this guy for example: http://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/interact/showthread.php/88647-What-Norwood-am-I

an obvious troll and a guy here to do nothing more than throw his lack of hair loss in our faces.

If a guy like this was ever to develop male pattern baldness and eventually go slick bald, would it be improper for me to laugh my *** off?

To me, laughing at someone with hair loss is despicable. I was hanging out with my friends a few weeks back, and they were talking about this guy they went to high school with. One of my friends laughs and says, "He's losing his hair, too." I looked right at my friend and told him to shut the **** up because hair loss is genetic and not something anyone has control over. It affects our entire lives due to emotional stress and there's nothing we can really do about it. If someone has a problem and there's an obvious solution but they're unwilling to work for it, then they deserve what they get. The fact that there is no real hope for us is the worst feeling in the world. There's no need to pile on someone and laugh. You know that person already feels awful.

If this guy went bald then nature would be righteous for once... so yeah we can laugh.

I am not talking about just laughing at random guys that are suffering from male pattern baldness, of course that's not cool. I am talking about the trolls in hair loss forums or the guys that thought it was the funniest thing when it was happening to others. Or do they get a free pass and all their past wrong doings are forgiven because they are now "in the club"?

I'd never wish for someone to go bald, but if it happened to someone like that then sure, laugh away.

I work at a restaurant on the weekends in my hometown. There's a lot of nice people, but there's also a lot of white trash due to the low income housing available in the area. Typically the drugged up, unemployed leeches roll in late at night looking for something free to eat after they've spent their government welfare on booze, tattoos, and a new iphone 6 plus. Well, these slobs, and there's an awful lot of them, all have wonderful heads of hair for men in the 35-50 year old range. I swear that one guy has so much hair that he has a PROceeding hairline. That's not hyperbole either.

Yet, I work my *** off for everything that I own, never do drugs, rarely drink, and am well educated. All that, but I'll still be completely bald before my 30th birthday, and be jealous of an unemployed trash man. The fact that I'll be made fun of and looked down on their level because of something that I had no choice in makes me want to put my fist through a windshield. Is it okay to laugh at someone losing their hair? If they're a scumbag, at least in my experience, they won't be losing their hair haha. I don't think I could bring myself to do it honestly. I was teased as a kid because I was chubby. I lost the weight later in life, but I never forgot what it felt like to be put down about my weight.

used to be the cool guy... the day they see me receidin' , they laughin'...

You are a better man then I am. This hair loss stuff has made me bitter. I have no problem having compassion for people that deserve it, but I have no sympathy for the guys that enjoyed every minute of this s#!t happening to us.

I used to be cool too, or at least people thought I was. Now I'm not cool any more.

 

[hmm]

Yeah he deserves it. Same as people who make fun of other people for diseases they can't help. Good for you if you won the genetic lottery but no need to sh!t on other people. I try to believe in karma and hope both good and bad comes around but it doesn't always seem to be the case :sad:. I'm thankful to be otherwise healthy and normal except ffor the thinning on top but it still sucks lol.

Well if your bald and laughing at someone else who's balding... seems ironic to me.

As a 17 year old who is balding I wont make fun of anyone who is balding, but I cant deny that if I wasn't balding that I would make fun of some people who are. We only lean sympathy by experiencing our self what it's like to be laughed at. Very ugly people did not choose to be ugly, but I can't be the only one who has laughed at them.

My thoughts exactly.

Even if it was somebody who s#!t on you when they had a full head of hair? I say at that point their fair game.

 

[DontWant2BeBald]

Yeah but I cant make fun of someone for something that I have too you know what I mean. Me making fun of someone else who is balding when I'm balding too means I'm making fun of myself just as much as I'm making fun of him. Now if the treatments work on me and my desity increases then I'd make fun of that person and not tell him about the treatments.

I'm one of those people who laugh at my friends when they think they can do something easily and fail. Outside I play it cool inside I'm laughing.

In the case of this guy, laughing isn't wrong because he's enjoying that he has no hairloss. If he was genuinely worried that would be ok but he obviously came to mock, so pointing and laughing sounds good to me

I used to be respected.

When I see people with receding hairlines/male pattern baldness, I find them unattractive 90% of the time. And guess where I am going... -_- Seeing other people with hair loss serves as a predictive reflection of myself, so I can't even think about laughing at those people. If people with decent hair laugh at hair loss sufferers, that's because they don't realize how devastating hair loss can be. I am sure they will have enlightening moments later in their lives.

They won't. That's not how karma works (although it should). What I've noticed is that the biggest assholes in life always get away with everything, and those who are decent people get the shaft. Think of it this way:

Mahatma Gandhi, assassinated.
Martin Luther King, assassinated.
John F. Kennedy, assassinated.

George W. Bush? PROMOTED.

Yupp selfish people live longer.
@topic
I surely would if he messes with me coz im damn too !ucked up not to

 

[Notcoolanymore]

I wouldn't laugh at just some random dude who I didn't know. That's not cool. But if somebody gave me **** about losing my hair, it would be open season when he lost his.
