Search Results: am i getting too old

I’m 27 years old and have never had a girlfriend. Due to a condition I have, I went bald at 23. The hair on the back of my head and sides grow normally, but the hair on top is too thin and barely grows. So going bald is the most cost-effective way for me to look presentable.

I don’t get as many dates/matches as my friends who have a full head of hair. When I go to speed dating events in person, women 10-15 years older usually choose me. I want to date a woman my age or younger.

One of my friend’s girlfriends told me that I should grow an afro. A friend of mine said that I need to get a hair transplant. The consensus is that women love hair. I understand that, but despite my condition, I love myself and don’t want to change. However, I want a girlfriend and eventually a wife, so I’m weighing my options.

I went to a barber and he was going to put me on a treatment plan where I’d have to come to his shop at night on a weekly basis and pay $1000/month. That’s outside my budget.

I’ve also looked into getting it done in Turkey for $3000. But I’d have to wait until next year. I need to save money and vacation days for that.

As I said before, I don’t want to change, however if this will lead me to finally getting a girlfriend, I’m willing to save up for it. When I was younger, I was too much of a nerd, reserved, and focused on school. Now I’m more sociable and ready, however I just keep getting rejected. Plenty of women want to be friends, but nothing more.

Any other men have their baldness get in the way of them dating? Did you get a hair transplant or no?

Under Apocalyptic Skies, Republicans Blow Smoke On Climate Change

On Thursday, as much of the northeastern U. S. was blanketed for a second day by thick, highly hazardous smoke from wildfires raging in Canada, HuffPost asked Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) whether he sees a link between the hazy air and the overwhelming body of science that shows global climate change is helping give rise to extreme fire.

“We’ve had fires for all of our life, come on,” Tuberville scoffed. “We’re all for environment, but this is just another situation where you’ve gotta do your work in forests. I mean, you just can’t let it grow up. It’s unfortunate that this is happening. It too shall pass.”

It is true that many U. S. forests are overgrown and susceptible to devastating blazes, in large part due to decades of fire suppression and Smokey Bear’s anti-fire messaging. But it’s absurd to suggest that solving the current wildfire problem is as simple as preventing trees from growing old. In fact, mature and old-growth forests are more resilient to fire, and they sequester massive amounts of planet-warming carbon.
Tuberville wasn’t the only Republican to use the historic smoke event — a rare phenomenon in cities like New York — to peddle pro-logging talking points while doing somersaults to ignore or downplay the climate change link.

At a Senate GOP press conference Thursday in Washington, D. C., Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) said East Coasters are getting a taste of the smoky summers that have become the norm out West.
“This is what happens when you have more lawyers in your forests crawling around versus loggers, and when your forests aren’t managed properly,” he said, referring to environmental groups that have sued to block timber projects. “Washington bureaucrats and the court system in this country continue to give us policies that can result in air quality like this.”

So I was taking classes to prepare for a late entry into university, mostly I was refreshing math skills

A group of classmates and I became friends and always sat together, this included this very cute lady who was early twenties (I was mid twenties)

After a few months I sat beside her randomly and we talked a lot and were getting on great, then at one point she was taking off her hoodie, and underneath she was wearing a tight shirt and she looked incredible, I guess I looked for a moment too long, because I realized she froze, I looked up to her eyes and we locked eyes for a good few seconds and then she just finished taking it off

We continued like nothing happened, she kept talking to me and all that

We would text a bit too later but I didn't make any moves because I wasn't in the best place in my life, and also I wasn't sure if she liked me, but I can be oblivious

I think about this because I am worried I might have come across as creepy by looking at her body, which I try to never do, here I didn't even realize I did it until it was too late, I was already looking at her

Another part of me is wondering if she was ok with me looking and if that was a sign that I should've tried talking to her more

I later saw her in my school (her and I both went to the same university after) and she was happy to see me and we talked again like the good old days
