What's in a name?

[uncomfortable man]

If your not actually bald (anything above advance NW4) don't fuckin have some name that implies that you are actually bald, when you aren't. This really fuckin irritates me to no end with some of you posters. Change your god damned name to highhairline or mr. mature forehead or notbaldyet.

Yes,such as SOON TO BE BALD or LOST FOLLICULES.

I'd also like to add tha the reason I hang out in the Impact of Hairloss section is because I like to get past all of the dudes who are fretting about their mature hairline in the General Discussion area. I figured that in this section of the forum I am more likely to relate to men who are further up sh*t creek like I am. And it gets confusing only to find that you are talking to bald men about baldness when you are not infact technically bald. :shakehead:

I am glad to hear this helps you!

Sometimes people get onto us for separating everything but the best case in when you can sit in a relative forum IMO.

dudes who aren't as super advanced on Norwood scale have the right to be here as well. look at the name of the section. after all it's the impact of hair loss not impact of baldness. Norwood 1,5's shouldn't whine though.

Good point.The only problem I have with those who are not yet fully bald,is berating myself/U.man for how we feel(largely caused by societies hatred for bald people.

How about six different impact sections, and each time you move up a Norwood scale you get rewarded by getting access to the respective section. Kind of like unlocking achievements in a video game and in the end you end up with the ability to hang out with the REAL bald guys!

 

[slipy]

There should be 2 'impact' sections:
1) NW1-3
2) NW4-7

this separation wouldn't really work since there are too few real bald guys on this site. that would be like the majority in one section and 3 or 4 guys having a private chat in the other. after a while it would grow tiring for you and you'd want to sneak in among the Norwood 2's and 3's to give them a bit of your perspective.

 

[ghg]

That's funny man! I bet you're in the NW1-3 crowd, or you wouldn't have made a joke about this. If you ever get to the NW4-7 club, you wouldn't think it was so funny, I guarantee it.

Well to be honest, it was quite funny.

 

[seb]

Being bald IS funny,hence why so many people berate a man who is bald.

Well apparently it's needed since most of you nw3s don't get it. That's alright, when you experience your own personal apocalypse this place will be here for you...

And what difference do you expect after renaming? Behaviour, opinions and posts here depend not on the Norwood scale but on the psychology of a certain person. Someone, who is NW2, may be extremely depressed and react desperately on his first stages of baldness but another person, who is NW7, may be absolutely calm and indifferent to his hair.
But if we have to, Amerindian names would fit the best. I'd be "Seven Jaguar Thinning Top".

I wish that was me.

 

[ghg]

i lol at your "sexual sides". fact is its most likely placebo

but if in the one in more than a million chance that you do have ACTUAL long term effects, i feel for you.

Based on what? Just remember that karma is a b**ch when you pop that first pill of that poison. And one in a million? Please...

 

[s.a.f]

literally millions of guys are popping poison then . . . . . . . lol

and karma doesn't exist sorry to break it to you

I've taught you well. :hump:

 

[gascoigne]

So the logic is that if someone is NW2 at 24 or NW3 at 28, he has no right or reason to be upset and sad couse he "will not progress" to later stages?!
How big are chances he will not go NW4 in next five or six years, when he is 35? 5 % .
And does life ends at 35 ?!

 

[gascoigne]

Wait Dud, that makes no sense.
If a guy is NW2 at 25, NW3 at 30, what makes you think he wont be NW4 at 35, or 40 (in lucky case) ?

I am talking about no toxic taking, like finasteride or dutasteride.

If then is Norwood 4 at 38, he will quite sure be NW5 when he reach 50.
I agree, it is a example of slower hairloss, but emotional and social impact are still big and present.
He could get a hair transplant in his 40is and move back to NW3, or NW2, but will continue to loss his hair.

Hair loss is no win situation unless it is a very slow receeding, like NW2 in late 30is.

 

[Man in Space]

I never understand it when NW2s (like me) come on here but try and make out that what they are going through is as bad or worse. Whilst early hairloss is akin to the sword of damocles dangling above you its still infinately preferable to that sword being embedded in your skull.

I like chatting to the bald guys on here it would be a shame for people to only keep among their sub groups, but I do agree, a little more perspective, deference and humility from some posters would be nice

 

[slipy]

i wonder if with itching present is there still a chance of being in the first category? probably very unlikely.
