    Women wear make-up and then we begin the question why not?

    In fact more and more of the metrosexual males are adopting this practice of applying make up on themselves but is it right?

    That pigmentation treatment looks like a viable option because it is permanent. But the other cover-ups are just deception and laughable. It just brings attention and focus to yourself.

    If I was bald or going bad (wouldn't happen btw) I would just accept it and move on. The trick is not to identify with your external appearance. More meditation and learning to love yourself unconditionally because in the grand scheme of things it really isn't that important. No one on the outside is focusing or looking down on bald men.

    Some women even prefer baldies and think long hair on a man is feminine. Horses for courses.

    I guess the solution is anti scratch cream and black pillow cases.

    I tend to agree tbh. The bald look looks ok so long as you have a masculine face, solid jaw and it helps to be tall, broad and muscular too. Bald, chubby and short is pretty much a death sentence for any man these days, however. Like that rat Dave Coldwell.

    But you're right I know decent looking women who have exclusively dated bald guys, but then they fit the mould of the masculine looking type I mentioned above.

    The solution as you stated is to accept it and move on. It's not quite as easy to accept as you make out however as unless you're extremely fortunate to really suit a shaved head, the effect on dating is quite marked if you're young.

    Agreed. Jawline, a tan and decent shoulders are a must, as is a muscular neck. It looks really bad when a bloke has an 11" neck.

    I spent some good time on dating apps like POF and tinder in my early 20s. The amount of women who bluntly stated on their profiles "no men under 6ft" and "no bald men" was insane. It's almost a death sentence in today's dating world unless, as mentioned, you are one of these Freddie Ljungberg or David Beckham types who can pull it off.

    I know exactly what you mean. The Dwayne Johnson bald man.

    Dave Coldwell it would seem has all the bad luck, extremely short, bald and a little tubby. However he is still confidentand strikes me as a well balanced level headed individual

    He's not hiding away or sprinkling dust on his head or losing sleep at night over it. He's accepted it with grace and all the mockery he's had to deal with over the years and he was bullied in school shows his strength of character and shows he is a bigger man than many with a full head of hair and 6 feet tall.

    Completely agree mate. In your twenties it's a death sentence for dating, or at least downgrades your average dating pool at least a couple of levels (eg from 8's to 6's).

    I'm 35 now and it's nowhere near as bad as obviously my dating pool has moved up in age and have themselves physically deteriorated for the most part. Oh and they're more interested in a man's earning potential lol.

    Lol neck training is a must. I think we may have browsed the same forums because I was awared on the importance of neck training a while back online.

    I've been training with a neck harness for about two years after previously doing no neck-specific exercises for about four years of training. Tbh I've seen slight progress but I'd like a way thicker one than I have ideally. I don't use gear atm but after I pop out some kids I'll probably cruise on test for life and I know my neck will just explode in width.

    So envious of boxers like Jamie Cox and Gassiev with their massive chode necks.

    Haha! Yeah, I believe that the neck is the fastest growing group of muscle in the body. I used a neck harness as well, I used to use it 3 x per week and vary the volume and weight E.g one day focus on 6-8 reps for 4 sets to "failure", then the other two go for high volume reps and sets with light weights. It was ok but it only seemed to target the same muscles (the back of the neck) and I wanted more hypertrophy "all around".

    I tried neck bridging ala Tyson but one small slip and you're a quadraplegic, and that has happened to some poor *******s.

    One of the best methods I eventually found was to link up a resistance band to the harness and start doing slow controlled (particularly on the eccentric) reps with the resistance coming in from the back and the sides while the band was attached to say the stair rails.

    It did work, I haven't got a Tyson esque neck but I have had a few people comment on it and I haven't trained with weights for well over a year.

    Will try that technique with the resistance band. The best neck burn I get is when immediately after doing my harness exercises, I pick up a couple of light dumbbells and just do high-rep shrugs.
