R.I.P. Roger Federer's hairline (1981-2014)

[Thom]

Yeah, I like friendly jabs myself. I used to be pretty sensitive but I got with a group of friends who I had to get thick skin with haha. I say it's good because we should be able to handle criticism in the real world.

 

[CaptainForehead]

Yeah thats the only flak i get is from friends and family in a joking way though like you said cause they are always taking the piss out each other its the way i like it...most people have a friend or friends or family member or family members where they always take the piss (and you do back)...wouldnt have it any other way rather have that then be scared to say something just in case of upset but i suppose you got to be quite close to have that kind of bond.

I dont like the talking crap about each other behavior. I beat myself up internally, dont need others to beat up on me. And I dont like talking crap about other either. I'd rather have a supportive group of friends.

I get very little stick also... some jokes maybe, but not real insults. Maybe it's different in Europe? And yeah, Nadal's diffuse thinning has been obvious for a while. I feel for the guy, I've been going thru same hell for years, god it's staggering.

I think baldness is more common in western europe, imcluding balding at a young age.

I've got another one. A female coworker was snikering at me so I confronted her and asked her what she was laughing at. When she said my bald head I asked why. She said because she heard it means I beat off too much. I rolled my eyes at her and showed her my palms and retorted, "LOOK, my palms aren't hairy so I guess you're wrong." She said that was just an old wives tale and I said SO IS THE MASTERBATION THING!

The best retorts need to be something that spin the baldness into something positive. You should have said something like "I do get laid a lot, high testosterone"

Thats the thing my friends and family are supportive but we like to joke about they dont mean any harm just like when i do it to them its all friendly banter...but i suppose you have to except baldness like you dont mind dont care etc to allow jokes i suppose...aslong as you hate or worry etc over hairloss i suppose you cant.

 

[Thom]

Basically for me I had to get over the jabs or be miserable. I mean I get them from my dad just as much. After much mental anguish and lashing out I decided to just go along with it and make fun of myself, while jabbing back of course.

It's not in my nature to pick on people either so I usually let them make the first comment either haha.

 

[Exodus2011]

Im not bald, just thinning. From what I've seen bald guys just get flak from friends and family but usually in a joking manner. I think it depends no where in the states you're located too. I've got pretty boy looks but Im in the Midwest and most girls like the country/football (American) types around here. I seem to get more attention from girls if I go somewhere like Chicago or New York City. Maybe baldness is the same way.

come on man . . . . . . . . minority man cant get no love from no white woman? :/

lmfao . . . . . . . jesus i gotta add a joke every now and then to keep from going suicidal friggin depresive on here

but yeah . . . . . . . theres of course different social environments where girls like a certain look i think. i know i had way more girls looking at me in the city. charlotte nc to be exact


probably political too . . . . . liberal girls wud be more open minded, to different subcultures and races.

 

[Thom]

Im just talking from my experience. I honestly don't think it has much to do with politics. Im pretty conservative and I've heard way more racist comments from the liberal minded guys I work with and go to school with.

Most girls around here just like the all American types and I just have a lot more on my mind to talk about than those guys. I get along with everybody but usually can't get past small talk with those types.

 

[Jaae]

One more before I have to venture out into the unforgiving wild.... This one a**h** aquaintence I knew decided to insult me at this art show at a bar by outing me out from under my beanie and then telling me I look like an alien.

This is what I said.

That's great because when Earth gets invaded, the aliens are going to identify with us baldies and put us in charge of you hairy ones... then if your lucky they will let me do the honor of probing your a**h**.

I've read you telling this story before, about three years back. About your friend pulling off your beanie at some art show, only it that version you ran off crying like a BIATCH. It took you all these years to think of that comeback?

And before you hate on me, I'm nw6 too. Your story stuck with me cause it's probably my worst fear, having my beanie ripped off my head by someone seeking to humiliate me in public. I felt your pain when you originally told it.

No way did you have that slick comeback though :roll:

 

[Quantum Cat]

that comeback sounds more like a gay come-on to me...

 

[Thom]

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

 

[Thom]

Haha, good to have other Seinfeld fans on here. After all who else would help me celebrate festivus?

 

[proudinmyself]

Almost as gay as someone without significant hair loss registering to a hair loss site for the sole purpose of kicking depressed people while they are down in an effort to make themselves out to be the morally upstanding one by comparison.

you have a wife.

why the depression then?

i understand heaving depression while you dont have anything. but when heaving a girl its just stupid

 

[zeroes]

He is paranoid it's as simple as that + they both cheated in the past.

If he found one he can allwayes find another

 

[DoctorHouse]

Bravo to you, proudinmyself. I like the new positive attitude. Now you need to work on your friend Exodus.

i still in huge depression cuz im friendless

 

[Jockson]

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

He should have just went with "well, I had sex with your wife"...

 

[Thom]

Ha. Or "the jerk store called and they're runnin out of you!"

 

[uncomfortable man]

Thanks for calling me out on that. I admit that I thought of that comeback after the fact. Why do all the best comebacks happen after the initial insult? Anyhow, I always thought comebacks like I get laid alot because I have high testosterone or I Fed your GF to not only sound too juvenile but are obvious lies that they can see right through. Sorry but solar panel for my sex drive is played out as if it ever helped in the first place. And offering up my history with my wife is meant to prove what? That like many other couples, they go through hard times... and like many couples we have weathered them together and grew stronger in our relationship which is going on 14 years. But lets just gloss over the positives in an effort to mudsling and discredit me, alright? But as wonderful as my relationship is with my wife, it doesn't erase the sinking feeling I get when I look in the mirror. It doesn't make you forget. It doesn't work like that.

 

[proudinmyself]

When you look in the miror from close you see your head x3 times bigger

Try video taping yourself in motion from far too see your actual apereance

Once i did that. No more bdd. Even when im short my headshape is small for the rest of my body .

 

[Thom]

As for the, "I slept with your wife" comeback. That's a seinfeld inside joke. I think most of us think of a good comeback after the fact. Now if I have nothing good to say I just agree with them sarcastically or don't respond. Takes away their victory.
