Topic: Bald men discrimination (Read 1100 times)

Very soon it will be everyone's turn to have bald head, so if you're the type that discriminate against it then be getting ready soon, it's actually not a disease or an abnormality that should be dealt with to that extent, anyone can develop it, the good thing us that once you notice hair isn't growing naturally as it used to be from a particular point on your head then it's time to adjust the rhyme by giving it a skin cut, when you do this, you get used to it and have a new look, it may sound pretty funny for a start but with tine people get used to your new look.

I think it used to be funny, kinda to laugh at bald men. Don’t most of them just shave it all off now though? I mean unless you’re Doctor Phil off the TV take a razor to it & it’s like nothing happened. Look at guys like Vin Diesel & Bruce Willis, The Rock, it never stopped them doing anything. You don’t need to feel sorry for these guys, they can fight their own battles.

I recall correctly, there are some instances of so-called trans-racial people, this is one example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal

I believe that the fact white people who try to claim black ancestry or wish to self-identify as black people get a backlash, it is because the existence of the "blackface" precedent.  when white people painted their faces black or order to perform black characters and sometimes in order to mock them in an era when racism was more explicit and socially accepted.

In general, one could say that for some reason, there are factions of the modern politics and popular culture which are passive-aggressive towards white people in specific regards.

Sorry to join in on the necro-bumping, but this is something that fascinates me a bit. The idea of selective discrimination, not so much bald rights.

I’ve found that gender and race are equally confusing when looking for society’s logic. For example, a man that identifies as a woman is praised, but a white person who identifies as black is considered appropriating and attacked.

If a white man in a dress isn’t considered sexist, why is that same man wearing dark makeup considered racist?

What happens if a man identifies as a black woman? Any liberals care to enlighten with your mental gymnastics?

You are right. It's the biggest dilemma of the ERA. No one can control his genetic effects, and it's not wrong to be a bald man. I don't know why people are mixing bald men with lousy men; I think the answer is available in your post. The movies and the media portray a bald man as an evil man.

I've observed that bald head men are either very intelligent or very rich or they've got both qualities

Having a bald head means two things significantly, one is due to old age which is normal and the other is due to nutritional deficiency which is bad, but it was also believe that everyone will have a taste of the look of bald head at old age as been taught, not until then we have to take good caution to what we eat and maintain the fitness to our body for a good living, bald head at old age isn't a deficiency anymore but a display on certain age which means attaining a saturation level of being full grown.

I'm sure the taunts for fat women are more cruel to men who are made fun of just because he's bald. for men, who do not have a single hair on his head. not only because he is experiencing loss of hair growth, there are even many who deliberately shave their heads bald. there is no problem with that, in fact this joke is commonplace even though there are most who don't like it because he gets treated that he shouldn't. and once again you are wrong, there are many figures in the world of cinema who make the main character bald.

I will take an example, one of which is a pretty cool film, namely HIT MAN: Agent 47, Danzel Washington's film the Equalizer, even Jason Statham becomes a heroic hero in every film.
I know, that the ridicule is not likely to be accepted by everyone, even for fat women. we should appreciate it and should not take it as a joke or the subject of ridicule. let's both respect each other without having to degrade someone's appearance.

Larry David, is that you? For a moment i thought this was a bit from Curb your enthusiasm.

But as a response to OP, i don't remember single one bald bad guy from movies, maybe it's because no one remembers "bad guys", but i can remember ton of good guys and for example Patrick Stewart started balding at the age of 19, and when he plays Picard or professor xavier he is like embodiment of a good person. Baldness also often signals authority.

In where i live, it isn't ok to joke about bald young people, but then again it isn't ok to joke about anything related to physical appearance, yet people keep doing that. Especially teens can be very insensitive and rough toward each other. Only thing you can do is be an example

When i started balding i was first a little ashamed, but after a while i embraced it, and because of it, i got ton of confidence. Way more then those that would laugh to bald people, and because of it, i got way more done too.

Well, actually corporal mass in the most of the cases is something one can control.  It is not the same for baldness.
I have seen people on social media criticizing fat-acceptance, because being overweight is actually harmful to one's life quality (unlike baldness). People believe it is an excuse for those who do not have enough willpower to change their eating habits or exercise.

I tell you, if there was possible for bald people to grow hair by exercising, most of them would not lose a minute and run for the nearest gym.  

What about Bruce Willis? He was an icon for bald men everywhere. I always think bald men are like short men in a way. Bald men are either just as bad ass cool as Bruce Willis or they are dickheads like people with hair. Short men are either the nicest people you will ever meet or they have a Napoleon complex.

People are jealous of bald men. They realize that they will never become as intelligent as bald men until they lose their hair as well. After all, the pandemic is bringing out into the open the scientific fact that masks are dangerous, and all hair is, is a mask on the top of the head. Some people are realizing this, and are shaving their heads.

Because we all are living in an unfair world where people get attracted towards lot of things but not much of them feels bald men as attractive.But in reality lot of famous celebrities are bald so create your identity before looking for attention.

Tell it like it is. It's racism.     

It is very easy for now to be done by almost many people, is it because the development of social media is too massive so that all information is very easy and sometimes misplaced.

I agree with your words that "mockers  always find reasons to mock", which indeed has become a reality of everyday life at this time.
there is no self-introspection with what is said whether it is appropriate , even whether it is useful for himself and those who accept what is said.

Indeed, why is it so unfair?

Mockers  always find reasons to mock, and the world has most of them than victims who slapped them through their optimism maybe because of lack of knowing their worth.

Not really, I mean there were succesful women even before women had the right to vote, but they were still discriminated badly.

I know that it would suck to be bald for me, given the choice, I'd rather keep my hair than be given $1000. People going bald. That's tough. And I doubt everyone can pull off the look.

this whole topic crumbles when the word 'bezos' is mentioned

It depends on the country where you live, in my country i don't see any discrimination against bald people. I see bald people who are very smart, the leader in my country is also a bald person. Many young people are bald, we shouldn't think negatively because they probably study too much.

not all bald men discriminate much money they can get everything they want even bald man much an example of artists such as Billy Zane, Bruce Willis, Mark Strong, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson they are admired by their fans around the world you must think positively if you have many shortcomings you have to have a lot of money to get whatever you want.

So if you make the bald man cry, then you become bald youself. Interesting.


And by make the bald man cry I think you know what I mean!

Males have been discriminated against for many years now by those ultra-feminists.


But those same feminists who mock bald would love to get laid with this guy
Hence, motivation for guys is to work hard and be rich so you can keep them under your toes ❤️

It depends on how you package your self, not all bald men are been discriminated,  the rate at which a lot of young dudes in their mid 20's or perhaps late 20's are getting bald really baffles me, I don't think it's all due to hereditary factor, there is an article I read about effect of masturbation, baldness is among the effect I think this makes more of youth being bald

I am bald but I totally not fell like I would be discriminated in any way. I personally do not like my look, so  I maybe self discriminate myself but I dont fell others do. It seems some are attracted to baldness. Not sure why.

What we need is equal opportunity for any discrimination, let the market decide what to mock. If they prefer to mock fat men over bald men, then let it be.
I'm using the male as an example since the chance of a bald female is very minuscule according to science.

But perhaps science is just a conspiracy to discriminate against men!

Is it really growing just after taking the supplements?

I though it needs artificial plantation of every hair to get a bald head to grow hair.BTW what supplements you are intaking.

I wonder if the medical has tested anybody with Coronavirus to see if it makes their hair grow faster.

People discriminating or being disrespectful to people who are losing hair is a problem - because it takes attention away from ACTUAL problems.

In fact, male hairloss gets more funding than Malaria, which kills more than 400,000 people per year. Big pharma pours more money into this fake 'problem', because of all the insecurity and expectations in developed countries for men to have a full head of hair.

So if anyone criticises you for losing hair, it is totally fine to raise it, because this fake issue diverts substantial funding from actual health problems.

Like seriously women don't care about what on a guy head even if he is bald and ugly, most baldness happen when the guy start getting old and like I have said before in my part of the world those with bald head are considered special and Rich set of people. But I don't know how other society sees them.

A i seen in my life, there isn't any discrimination to bald people. Only situation was when the bald man was ginger, then there is a lot of discrimination.

I haven't seen any incident of this kind of bullying in my real life, but it seems very serious to me.
It is the same to mock on someone even if he is fat or bald because you make fun of his physical appearence which he didn't chose it. Baldness is mostly inherited from parents.
And I should not forget to mention that many women find bald guys sexy 

Indeed. Especially here where I'm, there are so many hot looking women who are married or hang around with balding/bald guys) Seriously what's on a guy's head is the last thing most women bother about when picking a mate. They are far more concerned with what's in a man's head, not on it ☺️

Baldness is not a bad attribute and as long as you don't control it your self and it comes by nature then you have to accept it and move on, there is no point discriminating people with bald nor stop them from taking official positions in work place. I think it depends on societal differences because in my society those with bald are considered to be wise.

I already said about this earlier if you are bald then don't get ashamed of it,all the discrimination depends on the attitude of yourself.if you think it is more stylish then others will be ready to accept it.

I noticed that too and it falls in the category of body shaming which I believe is so wrong on all fronts .
I know someone who got so tired of being shamed because of his bald big head to the extent of contemplating suicide..
Discriminating people because for something that is not even their making is bad.

I think this type of discrimination is likely an isolated case. We as human have our own opinions back by our society in which we grew up.
There are some people who hates long haired men or hairy face man, net cleaned cut men, etc. I think our society today are more supportive or accepts any type of men's looks than before.

I'm against with "Bald men discrimination" because they don't deserve it and no one does. They deserve respect and love from the people around them. No one is perfect so no one has the rights to judge others. I saw many bald men in our community and they are not experiencing discrimination its sad that in your place discrimination happens.

Oh some people will always be some people. We all have something to say and complain about.. That's just human insanity like I call it lol. Well I believe there are good things about being bald, like saving money and time for example, good metabolism and seen as more masculine. Among severals)

In my society bald men are considered to be the learned people and full with wisdom and intellectual capacity, but in some places they are fondly refer to as the helpers of the barbers. But in all no one can truly control the baldness from happening since its genetic and natural.

Generally, baldness is seen as a usual thing associated with older adults. Discrimination should never be encouraged against certain kind of people in the society. Anyway thanks to modern technology and advancement in health care, baldness can easily be corrected with the necessary treatment.

I do agree that the villains and bad guys are almost always bald.  Voldemort, gollum, etc.  To make it in hollywood as a bald guy you have to either be black or be a muscle guy.

Discrimination against certain groups and races is not commendable
but for bald pri is just an opinion that is built by films and novels that are identified in a negative person but this is not all because there are many opinions that make bald male characters as good people ... for example shoulin men 

Discrimination against humanity being especially those that we thought are made in a certain way is barbaric and dimonic.  We are to allow them to have all the advantage other people has if we really strive for justice and fairness.

What the hell??! Lol. This cracked me up real good haha. Some bald men get discrimination but some bald men, such as the one in the picture, get all the admiration and respect lol. Actually, a lot of guys prefer to go bald because they look up to this guy who's pretty much done it all. 😂 keep raising the bald flag higher mr. Sins!

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

Your damn right!

One of the reason why we are losing hair is stress and not having proper diet so making it to be corrected will also help the hair to be thicker.

Definitely right. Don’t know what I was thinking. Let me correct myself, if you’re near-Balding or losing hair tea tree oil works best to thicken and restore!

Do you know something there is no oil or treatment can give hair on the bald,either they need to wear wig or need hair implantation.

Society is not making fun of bald or fat person exactly. They are making fun of the people who are lower in the status as compared to them.
I do not think you will like to take liberty with your fat or bald boss but in other hand you will likely to find a fault somebody who is lower in status and it does not matter how handsome that guy is.

It is fine to mock fat people as they are fat simply because they are not taking care of their body and that is not the case with baldness.

No company will discriminate anyone because he has no hair, it depends on the talent and skills you have to carry on the job.

During teenage years you might get trolled by fellow mates and that wont happen when you are in a job.

That is not entirely true, i can list many actors who did negative roles like Tony Montana and Michael Corleone played by Al Pacino, Hans Gruber played by Alan Rickman, Joker played by Heath Ledger, Hans Landa played by Christoph Waltz and these are iconic movie characters who are not bald.

Who says it's socially acceptable to mock people for how they look. I'm not sure humanity has agreed that's it's okay to do so to people, especially bald men. I wouldn't say this is any different from the way people bully ginger people or something. People can also be discriminated against because of other things like age too that you didn't mention. Some people will just attack people for anything these days but I don't think balding is something prevalent that people are routinely shunned for.


Do you have any statistics on this. I can't really think of many villains that were bald. I'd actually say that a lot of the leading action movie stars these days seem to be bald like Jason Statham, Vin Diesel and The Rock. I think all three are going to be in the new Fast & furious spin off movie --



I think the issue with balding is that societally it's a sign of ageing and it often makes you look older than you actually are. I think I read that around %50 of men will start to receed or lose some of their hair by their mid 20s which is surprising. Balding will surely suck for both men and women but there are ways of dealing with it. You can either try embrace it or look into options for covering it up -- hair transplants, meds, or hair pieces and so on but I wouldn't let anyone who has something negative to say about if effect you.


The rock might have always been tall but he wasn't always huge or that good looking -- even when he had hair =



Eating well and getting in shape sure will help. It's more about confidence that anything else. If you just let yourself go physically as you get old then going bald sure isn't going to make things easier.

Men with hair or not is not matters for girls,how much they are getting better on seducing them is matters just like Johnny Sin.

A small advice from bro,don't watch more porn.

Who said bald people are always discriminated? That's a big lie!
Johnny Sin is a bald guy which people adores so much and well in fact that he is a famous pornstar.

You know what? There are actually a lot of bald men who are more attractive than those men with stupid haircuts who just wanted to become cool. Being bald and handsome is like being handsome naturally. Bald men are not discriminated! They get adorations! Hygiene is the only thing the people need to focus on, not being bald, not being fat IMO.

Well I think that already that goes into a few levels of unique intolerance that must be quickly managed, you can not let go of something as cruel as that, they are still people, it's normal, anyone can be bald.

Today the values ​​of people are being snatched by TV, internet and how it can make people feel bad, it is something very radical, it can not and should not be that way, it may be sickly levels of intolerance.

This is the first time I heard discrimination for bald men. I mean, joking around with them for their hair is bald is somewhat not that bad, but it depends on the persons perspective if it is okay with them to be joked around. But, in having a job? Are they disabled for them to deserved not to have jobs? It's disgusting to live in a judgemental society like this.

Exactly they were making them look bad,when we don't have confidence about our look then it will make us to be so dull which eventually will make us to be not attractive.

Yes, and also for short men that get mocked all the time, a lot of double standards in our society...

Every user wants them to be beautiful. Being bald doesn't mean that they are ugly. There are people who look smart as they're bald. I haven't seen people discriminating discriminating, but these bald people they themselves have an inferior attitude thinking about the look. Looks are deceptive, the tendency to help and respect is much needed.

I don't think it in general like that. Here in my place bald, semi bald are not treated with less respect that the hairy ones. I think its the opposite here, men with less hairs or totally bald have this impression of being more genius, more respected. Just different but not disrespected. Actually very much men here are bald so it seems that being one is not a big deal for everybody. They are just used to seeing them and one day I believe all of them will also be bald, just a matter of time.

Everything is in the mind of people,when we see the people beauty from inside of our heart then no one will looks ugly,we need to change to make the changes happening.

There should be a Bald Acceptance Movement. I mean, if they can force us to find landwhales sexy, why can't we force them to find our receeding hairlines attractive?

I do not think this is a problem. I hope to become bald.
 I feel that people like this have a beautiful mind.

So where is the mistake?

It is just with the people who think they got discriminated,they need to come out to this world and make themselves proud by doing something.

Yeah bald, tall muscular, good looking, famous actors are not discriminated, what a surprise?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

https://youtu.be/FzHL0_6vHHk
https://youtu.be/Bhrp3N-AmhU
https://youtu.be/gOS3ZBVQImc (funny)

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

https://youtu.be/buYW-MxpZ2A

How about this for a solution:

https://youtu.be/AD-E2B5GfI8

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.

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.

i admit, hair is an important beauty sign. that make humans more different.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
