Bald men discrimination

[turtletime]

It's not okay to mock fat women but somehow it's socially acceptable to make fun of bald men?

Bald men are discriminated against for jobs and are often joked about but it's not like they can control their genetics.  Fat people can actually lose the weight.

I have noticed a lot of men in their teens and 20s are balding these days and no one is standing up for them.

The bad guys in movies and media are almost always bald.

I noticed this myself once back in college. It was a bunch of kids and like 1 or 2 adults. One was a middle aged gentleman who was bald. I forgot how the context came up but someone was reviewing one of the projects in front of the class and mentioned how she just didn't like bald men, found them creepy, etc and went on. This was all right in front of this balding guy like he didn't even exist too. I look at him like WTF, and he shoots me back a vindicated look like, yeah YEAH really WTF?

I think it boils down to male disposability. Unless you got a full wallet no one gives a shit if you live or die, let alone how your feelings might be hurt. Unless you are the alpha male you are going to be largely invisible.

What about those, who are bald AND fat, and still get good jobs, money, fame, and women?



Fat Vin Diesel is laughing at your rant.

I think he means that something like this is going to be the exception, and sure as shit not the rule.

Also, this isn't saying that bald people aren't going to be successful in life. It's just pointing out that in society it is fine to make fun of someones looks when it falls under certain categories (OP is talking about, in particular, being bald) but you can't do it (or it's frowned upon) if you're making fun of someone's weight.

The double standard is all it is, really.

I can eat a crap ton of junk food and remain skinny (I guess not the most popular look with the opposite sex either) but I know that most fat people have bad metabolism and some other genetic traits like gut flora that makes it a hell of a lot easier for them to put on weight and a lot harder to lose it, too.

Stil doesn't make it OK to make fun of bald men but it must be regional to your country and some other becuase where I am many men actually shave their heads to look bald. Something about high testosterone makes them popular with the ladies. Two of my close female friends can atest to that.

It is a problem that must be dealt with for sure. You can help by spreading awareness, not just on this forum, but also social media and other venues. Good on you for taking this path.

Professor X：Hey, kid, are you saying that I am a bad person? I will change your will.

That's a good one. Patrick Stewart played some of the nicest and most honorable characters. I really liked him as Cpt. Picard.
I'll add actors like Jason Statham and Bruce Willis, who usually play the good guys. There's no rule that says bald = bad.

Fine, I agree that it's seen like a person is lacking in some way. Short or skinny people could say the same. There's this stereotype of Mr. Perfect. A man must be tall, fit, preferably with dark hair, visible but trimmed facial hair, strong chin. Is the life a bit harder when you're short, fat and bald? Probably yes, but don't make a big deal out of it.
Out of the guys over 30 that I know, 2 are visibly going bald, and the better way to go bald is from the front towards the back, like one of them. The other one is not that lucky, and is starting to look like a medieval monk. Nobody is making fun of it though.

And how often are fat women the top character in a movie etc? I don't think it's too different.
There may be more people singing praises of unattractive women but at the end of the day, they're like everybody else.

People are suckers for good looks.

Im bald, fat and ugly, so hey BINGO!

But when I was young hot and studlike and my hair was thinning it was a traumatic experience and advertisers used to exploit the hardship and weakness of men suffering from baldness.

here are some ad examples:

Also here is a funny video of all the famous people wearing wigs...

In the part of the world where I come from bald men are always joked at with they situations, often time they are address and recognize as intelligent set of people. But fat people are always looked away from no one want to fuck with a fat dude.

[glenntalbot]

Haha yeah, that is true all the bad guys in the movies are 90% bald but also there are many bald protagonists like the rock, Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis, and Krillin. I'm starting to get bald a few years ago and I decided to shave all my head and I noticed that some women actually like bald men so for me it's not that bad.

This issue wasn't addressed and I just realized that what you're saying is right but there were also bald men that lead the film and was the main cast/protagonist just like the pic above.

About the discrimination, here in my country there are good actors and they give great entertainment. I think it became part of the society that you can be a good comedian by having no hair. That's the mindset that they injected to the society earlier. And you think that the society is discriminating them but I don't think that they see it that way and they just get used to it.

I admire them and I don't make of them and with my experience, I'm not bald but many are even mocking me base on my physical appearance when I go outside but I just ignore them.

It's the same as making fun of skinny people vs fat people. Somehow it's totally ok to mock skinny people but god help you if you mock a fat person. Specially in 2018.

I am skinny and was made fun off. Usually by the fat person. But I think society hates fat people so much, those people really suffer. Me, I get a raised brow and a joke, fat people get digust and all sorts of prejudice. So I think those fat people who make fun of me are really just jelous, wish they were me, they suffer. So I don't resent them all that much. I think I have it good compared to them.

[posi]

recognize as intelligent set of people.

With the research i did and the percentage of bald man I have met I'm convince that 99.9% of bald are intelligent but are also con and smooth talker when it come to teasing woman.

[BestSSS]

It is genetics and it is very difficult to cope with it. Yes, there are means that slow down the process of baldness, but you still will not stop it. Some go when they're bald. For example VIN Diesel - who ever can make it hairy?, or for example Jason Stethem, Fyodor Bondarchuk. Many famous people are bald with money and can not change it so it should just accept and present themselves from the dignity and do not be ashamed of it.

I agree with you but the truth is we all get discriminated against for something. I think that joking about the issues is part of the solution, not part of the problem however.

I think you'll absolutely love this video as a prime example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSPwHn0ugkQ

Really they are discriminated? I think this depends on your surrounding not in all the places people do discrimination like these and I think being bald is more fashonable in 21st century.Just get older bro.
