Problems With a Friend Having Problems with Baldness

[cosmicfolklore]

Truth. But part of that is guys with hair fearing going bald. Once you’re there it’s no big deal. If I could have my hair back, I suppose I would. But bald actually has some perks. It’s not like it affects my life in any way other than showers are a little quicker and I save money on haircuts. ?‍
I certainly can’t see it being worth the hassle or expense of all those hair restoration surgeries or whatever. I never understood how you pull that off anyway. You’re bald one day, then you show up to work the next week with hair?! ? Like no one will suspect? I’d feel silly as hell.

No disrespect to anyone with hair plugs! ?

There are many things I’d rather have back more than hair.

There are many things I’d rather have back more than hair.

Facts!

I see it as those who are bald defend it and those with hair are glad they are not bald.

I never gave a shit one way or the other. When I had a full head of hair it was very thick, black as night, and wavy. It was just hair. When it got napalmed and went walkabout I didn't give a shit.

We're here and then we're gone. More interesting stuff to get involved with.

I shaved my head in 1997. Easily one of the best decisions I have ever made.

That’s it. We’re all putting in on a gofundme to get bladesmith a wig. It’s gonna be like a pompadour, too. Then part of the agreement is you have to videotape your students when you enter the class for the first time wearing it.

Would be no different than a female showing up with breast implants

Back when I was single in the 70's and 80's I was dating a good deal of woman. I had a rule that if they didn't have a sense of humor and could not carry on a good conversation, I didn't care how good the sex was as I could always score good looking woman just for sex. Finding good sex was easy but it got boring pretty quick if they were dimwitted . My friend's girl hooked me up with her friend named Mary. We had only been on a couple of dates and we had sex on the third date. She was ok in bed but nothing special. I gave her my best moves and she was surprised at how easy it was for me to get her off.
I always had a rule that I get the woman off first for a couple of times before I think of myself. I was never that guy whom came and then left or fell asleep.

After I got off she says too me, wow you are a real womanizer aren't you? I looked her in the face and said what is a womanizer and why are you calling me one. She says to me you know what you are and don't pretend you don't. I said to her I hope you had a good time but I won't be calling you in the future.

I was totally perplexed. I had been with so many woman and not a one had ever called me a womanizer. I was really insulted as I was always a gentleman and very respectful on every date I ever went on.

A couple of days later I asked my buddies friends girlfriend who hooked me up with her, what was a womanizer and why the fuck did she call me that. She asked me did I have sex with her and I said yeah and she got off pretty quick and I was a gentleman as always. She said she was perplexed as well. I told her I would not be calling her again and no big deal, it just wasn't a good match. The only reason I even remember her is that she is the only woman who has ever called me that before or since. I have been with well over a hundred woman and not a one ever called me that.

Any of you guys been called a womanizer and if so what do you think it means. I asked my sister who was like my own personal dating service as she was always hooking me up with all kinds of girls and she said she didn't understand why she would call me that. . We would go to clubs together in the clubs of Boston and she would always come out of the bathrooms with a girl who she wanted to hook up with me. We were each others wing men as if I found someone who was a gentleman I would introduce him. My sister was a solid 10 and had no trouble getting her own but I liked finding out about them by qualifying what kind of guy they were.

She liked that as I was a better qualifier than she was. If she didn't like the look, she gave me a look and I would dust the guy in a polite way.

My sister and I were only 1.5 years apart with her being older. We were really close as little kids, we were close our entire lives and when she passed away in 2010 I was devastated. When we partied together back in the day. I always looked after her in the clubs and she would always have my back as well. All of her college friends I ended up dating. One of her best friends was a gorgeous blonde and was a room mate of my sisters in college as they were both at Boston University in the School of Public Communication. I vowed to make Cindy mine one day and it took me 1.5 years before she became mine. I was relentless and I never gave up. We were together for a little over a year and then I moved on. Cindy became an Emmy award winning engineer and I remember when she got her first engineering board and she was so psyched. I ended up going to B.U as well.

My sister graduated and her first job was as an assistant producer for Larry Flynt publications in California. I missed her and she missed me. After she became the production manager for Gentleman's Companion and Chic magazines, she came home to Boston to become the production manager for Running Magazine which was a pretty big deal back in the day. My dad who owned his own corporate law firm was never a fan of her working for Larry Flynt. We were all psyched when she decided to come home. We would go for sushi, drink champagne, go to the clubs again and it was great times. I always picked up the tab for my sister as it was just how we rolled. Our favorite club back then was Papillon and it was our own personal scoring club. I haven't thought of those days in a long time and honestly it brings tears to my eyes just typing about it.

I think sometimes people say things on the internet they would not say in person. Maybe I am wrong.

In this case... no. Having lost most of my hair myself, I have no problems suggesting someone get over it. It is not a disability and it is not a defining aspect of your soul.

I struggle with this premise because I’m from an obviously different place.
Guys around here are worried about keeping their jobs, keeping their kids in good shape and making sure they’re turning out better we did...
Pay your mortgage off early or put money in college accounts, keep the car for a couple more years or bite the bullet....
Friends with cancer, our kids in combat zones, tending to ailing parents...
I just can’t picture a place where that level of self absorption is real.

Try reading up a couple of posts, LOL.

Oh man! I can’t record kids without parental consent. Otherwise I would so do it! ?

guys with hair fearing going bald.

Really? I sure as heck don't! I'm blessed with so much my barber has to thin it out. And, I don't feel defined by appearance so, why would I fear going bald. Your genes either make you go bald or not. But, some guys fight it tooth and nail. I guess I understand but, worrying about hair? It's simply not worth the angst.

The key to successfully dating women is to sell them an extended car warranty before hand.

Yeah, if it’s not in your genes, you got nothing to worry about! ? I meant those that are already headed (no pun intended) down that road and know it’s coming. No sense in worrying about it.

Deep Space 9 is more deep than the special effects. It's more like a serious drama that happens in space.

DS9 probably my favorite, followed by voyager.

 

[coming to_falling too]

The scene was enough to make my wife question why I was watching such a show and quickly it was turned off.

I will agree that a cube shooting lasers looks pretty stupid.

If you can get past some of the cheesy special effects and whatnot, it really is a pretty great show. Luckily that scene is the only one featuring Borg cubes.

Is that your real hair?

I guess some without hair don't have hair to worry about.

The show means a lot to me. Not because Sisko looks good bald.
