What Am I Even Supposed To Do?
I honestly have no idea what to do with my hair. I am 24, and the top of my head is pitifully thin, to the point where I have to buzz my head every 3 days to keep it from being noticeable. The crown isn't too nice either. To add insult to injury, the hair on the sides of my head grow quickly and the hair strands are very thick.
I used to use Nizoral Shampoo. But then I stopped using it after I got sunburn on the top of my head, despite having medium length hair (for a man). I thought it was working, but it was mostly just due to the way that I constantly brushed my hair.
I wouldn't really mind it, but my crappy genes thought I'd need thick hair EVERYWHERE on my body. My upper back is just gross. Oh, and I can't forget the stubborn pimples that don't respond to treatment, the Spongebob gap in my teeth, smallish 5"7" stature, odd body fat distribution, androgynous voice, and the tendency to get DANDRUFF despite being around NW5. My hair was the thing that made me go "well at least I have soft, thick, wavy hair that looks good and draws attention away from the stuff I can't change."
Of course my mom and sister go "but a lot if young guys lose their hair!" Well that'd make me feel better if that were true. I have never seen a guy my age in person with hair like mine. So yeah, thanks for lying but it totally doesn't make this OK. It's unfair as all hell. At least give me cancer or something so I can physically feel as bad as I do mentally. No. I'm not even being over dramatic.
Basically I have 0 confidence, which should be understandable considering that I am THE guy a movie director would cast if they needed a woefully pitiful looking man for the audience to laugh at (or just be disgusted). I don't even go out if I couldn't get my hair buzzed. Whenever someone talks to me, their eyed slowly drift towards my scalp - especially after I tell them my age. I could only imagine why. It's even hard to find motivation to work out just so I can at least say I have a decent body. I just figure what's the point? I'd still be hairy, short, and balding.
Though this is all made substantially worse for me because I am a homosexual. My dating pool is already much smaller than an average man's dating pool. If I wear a hat I'm OK, but then I lose the hat and only hear crickets. Why go for a guy with plentiful body hair and virtually no head hair? Men look first before getting to know someone. So the answer is simple, there is no reason. Turn around and walk away.
So the short version is - life just sucks. I came here looking for ways to fix this problem, but it seems not much has changed in the past decade of male pattern baldness. What the hell is there to do? Just sit here and be forever alone? If that's all life has to offer, then I sure as **** would like a refund.
Ranty venting angriness complete. I'm sure I'm not the only pissed off person who has genes that would've been eradicated from the gene pool if natural selection was still a thing.
