I disagree. I have found many women your age to be really cute. it's in the persons attitude, how they feel and how they handle and carry themselves and the character they have that can make them cute.
Just go on the forums. Also just e-mail people, and you will get a bite. Also think of something provocative and engaging to talk about on the forums to get to know you more. Think up something and just try to communicate with people here.
I would just say be the way you are and be happy with the person you see everytime you look in the mirror. Hair does not make the man and it is the mans character that matters most.
Yes this does apply to me to an extent, although it is not as bad as it was in years past, but it's a stronghold that it still has. It's not just the depressed moods and anxiety, but the confusion and all the things I read or hear about, and just generally how some people are and from my personal experience, it can get really discouraging and that is what makes this so difficult. Also when I read or hear of others that have gone through similar situations and feel the same way, it gets top me also. It's complicated, because alot of times you really do feel nervous to speak out about this, because it's a complicated issue first off, and second again for the critcism and reactions that some people may give back.
However, I thank the people that have posted and messaged me about this and said helpful words, I really appreciate it!!!!.
I know that depression and anxiety are not gender based, and what I meant by the "macho" comment, was that in society many people seem to expect men to tough it out and not share or not talk to others about how they feel, no matter how bad it may be. So in other words many men seem to suffer in silence, and not know how to communicate how they feel because of feeling pressure or anxiety of being looked at differently or ridiculed. It's like you want to reach out so bad, but the fear or uncertainty is stopping you or making you nervous about opening yourself.
This is abit of a touchy subject I guesse for some of us. But I know there are many guys that have certain issues that may be bothering them, and may be putting them down or make them anxious and just experiencing very rough feelings. With all this talk about guys being matcho and stuff, and where men shouldn't feel vulnerable emotions, it buts that much more stress on many of us. I know ladies go through these moods of depression and similar issues. How do women generally feel about this, and do they see this as a big turn off, and is it something that brings disgrace to us guys. I mean I know it shouldn't, but I sometimes wonder based on some of the things I read and saw. How do guys deal with it. They say it's important to be around people, and I know that it helps, but what if your depression or anxiety keeps you isolated from others for fear of rejection or being hurt in some way, or because others may not like something about you, and they therefore don't want to hang around or let alone offer some help.
What are peoples attitudes both mens and womens, about this issue, especially as it pertains to men in this case, but also women can add their experiences too.
It's too bad that there is so many discrimation against bald men and women. People thinking they are lower class and inferior to those with all their hair. I think I said before, as long as you have a great heart, are reasonably intelligent, and have a nice smile and nice eyes, that is awesome. HAIR doesn't make or break a person. We need to finally admit that and understand that!!
As you can see I shave my head and am happy and have done it for more then one reason.
RE: Jaded and Cynical
I agree!!It's important to maintain one's individuality and remain just as you are.
I am who I am, and I am happy with who I am!!!!
