Women care. When I still had a decent amount of hair I attracted plenty of girls, some stalkers, too. Now? I couldn’t attract a woman if I taped $100 bills all over my bald head. No joke.
Sure, there are a few guys who don’t care when they go bald. But most men do care a great deal. There is a reason for that: baldness looks like sh*t.

I was 14 when I started balding. My father started balding at 14. He KNEW before he had children that they would go bald at a young age, and he did not care at all. The man has never cared about anyone or anything but himself.
Let me tell you what an absolute moron the man is: he could not figure out why people looked at him funny wherever he went until I told him. That’s how stupid the guy is. “I don’t understand why everybody looks at me funny wherever I go.” The first time I remember him saying that was when I was about 4 years old in a K-Mart. Then he said it about 2 years ago and I had to set him straight.
You might think to yourself what kind of son would go on a message board and proclaim that his father is an idiot. Well, a truthful guy would. The guy is an absolute moron. I hope he suffers pain and misery like he inflicted on me.

My father is everybody’s worst nightmare, and he isn’t bright enough to figure it out.
Both me and my brother have told him that he never should have had kids. His own sons had to tell him he should never have reproduced because he isn’t bright enough to figure it out on his own.
Neither me nor my brother would ever have children because we wouldn’t want our kids to go through what we went through. Both of us feel the same way (and both of us are unattractive to females, so that helps that cause). We don’t agree on much, but we are in absolute agreement on this.

There is no counseling that can help someone solve a problem that can’t be solved. Wherever I go, I’m the bald guy, and there are not that many at my age (early 30s). That’s it. I go to the store, I’m the bald guy. At work, the bald guy. I’m the guy who never has a girlfriend. I’m the guy who can’t pick up a girl at the bar when all his friends can. I’m the guy EVERYBODY laughs at and says “I wouldn’t want to be like you” to.
Have you ever had some complete stranger come up to you and say, “I would rather be dead than go bald”? I have. Several times. I, too, would rather be dead than be bald. Most people would. It is every man’s greatest fear–a fear that became reality when I was 14.

No, guy, counseling is the last thing I need. What I need is to be NORMAL. What I need is to look like everybody else. I need to blend into a crowd. I need to walk down the street without little kids calling me “baldy”.
That is what I need. I would rather be penniless and homeless with nothing but the clothes on my back than be bald like I am, no matter how much money I had.
Would I rather be a bald billionaire or be the way I should be with a full head of hair, only broke? I’d rather be the guy with hair. I would rather be broke with hair than rich and bald any day.

When I was a small child I saw a bald man at a Sears store. He shaved his head completely bald. I don’t remember how old I was, somewhere between 4 and 6. Even then, at that young age, I thought the guy looked like a freak and I knew I did not want to be like that guy.
Everything I did not want to become–a bald freak–I have become. My life is my worst nightmare. My cousin is fat as a house. He must be at least 500 pounds. Even he laughed at us when he saw our family at my grandmother’s funeral. “Wow! (chuckles) The whole family is bald!,” he said.
Not even a fat tub of lard would want to be bald!
I wear a hat to cover my bald, spotted head when I go out in public. I am doing a public service. Nobody wants to see those brown spots and occasional pimples on my head, least of all me.
