Hi guys,I'm totally new to this site and havnt commented on anything on here before but I totally agree with what your saying! I'm booked in for a ht in October and only my wife knows at the moment and id never even mentioned that my hairless affected me to her before I made the decision to do something about it! She was pretty shocked as I come across as a very confident person socially and she couldn't understand why it bothered me! So the best way I could describe it to her was,all woman and I mean all talk about there weight,and most iv met even if not fat are onvinced that they are,but on a night out with there friends they will be reassured that they look lovely etc etc. However they could if they choose to,eat less and exercise more if there that bothered! But for a man who's loosing his hair,when going out already self conscious of this he would be met,certainly in my group of friends with a constant stream off piss taking about going bald,looking old for your age,which will sometimes be come the main topic of conversation,in fact I can't remember the last time I went out with my mates drinking where it wasn't brought up for most of the night! Now if you've got a big nose or crooked teeth,your teeth atent gonna get more crooked and your nose ain't gonna get any bigger,but baldness is different it' gets worse,and when you already hate the fact yourself and constant reminder from different people only makes it worse and begins to ruin your evening! So I said to my wife,imagine everyday no matter what u did u were getting fatter and fatter and you had no way of stopping that and eventually u knew in 10 years time you were going to be huge! But on top of that when ever you saw your friends or people you know they felt it was ok to keep reminding you how fat you were getting and how you u used to be so thin!!!! Then you may just be able to realise what hairless does for your self esteem! Ps my wife isn't fat,just thought I'd say that in case she happened to read this blog,but like most women shed like to lose a bit of weight,but the difference is,she can,as for hair,without ht we can't!
