How normal is it for your hair to fall out if you run your hands through your scalp/head?
I'm just noticing now little hairs on my keyboard, on my desk, shoulder etc. and I'm getting a bit paranoid.
I'm 29, and my mothers paternal side all had serious MBP way younger than me. But I have had multiple barbers tell me I have the thickest hair they've ever seen. Up until recently then this wasn't a concern of mine.
But now I'm freaking out a bit, I keep rubbing my hands through my hair and finding them in my hand. I swear I didn't notice this before. I'm not showing any actual signs of balding beyond that, but I'm a tad terrified.
I've been noticing this lately myself. Stray hair in my food and the like. Not so much when I run my hands through but I was motivated to look it up and found it to be a normal occurrence in winter as the cold air leaves the hair brittle.
As someone who periodically tries to grow his curly locks out only to find them a frizzy mess it might be worth looking at products to maintain moisture like leave in conditioner but I've yet to make the thread on it.
Having "the thickest hair" someone has ever seen is a death sentence for hair. Your scalp won't be able to support all that thick hair, and it's all going to fall out and you'll end up looking like me. You don't know what I look like, but trust me.
When I was in my early 20s, I could easily get a couple of stray hairs running my fingers through my thick locks. It didn't mean anything. You don't notice it go when it goes, or at least I didn't. But it goes anyway, and one day someone takes a picture of the back of your head and you wonder why all your friends are being tagged on Facebook with Friar Tuck.
This is my story too. Incredibly thick hair, until, one day it wasn't, and I kept finding small nests in my hats etc.
Though in my case it started happening just after an extended hospital stay, so I often wonder if it was the 17 CAT scans in a month that did started it off, though clearly it's just classic male pattern baldness.
Anyway, I freaked out for a few days, but ultimately I just shaved my head and moved on with life. I was a cheflad at the time, so I really couldn't be having my hair come out every time I touched my head, so I just had to do it, but I'm glad I did - far better than the rabbit hole of creams pills and surgeries.
I think the barber is just flattering you to be honest mate, sort of like how an escort always says you're got a massive knob.
Also I was thinking the other day. Nothing to do with the thread, but to what extent do you think global gender inequality, and conflict in general, would disappear over night if regular women all started playing ball the same way? Doesn't matter if it's true, in fact that's the whole point. Imagine if penis size insecurity was eradicated overnight.
Just think about it. We'd have world peace by next week if birds just started telling their fellas they've got a big dick.
>>5951 I was under the impression that women are already pretty encouraging about these things. Statistically, my five-inch cock is at the very smallest end of average, but nobody has ever complained, and I have had sex with over four women, some of them more than once. But I might just be attacking your example, because I think worrying about penis size is the male version of when women worry that they're too fat: sometimes people just don't fancy you, and in the end you invent a totally fictitious failing so you can blame yourself rather than accept that everything in life is basically a dice-roll that you have no control over.
All but one of my sexual partners has done; but the one that didn't seemed to just be really stubborn about it, like she was really determined not to give me that ego-stroking dick compliment. It was weird. At the time it gave me a vicious bout of insecurity just in case all the other ones had been lying to me my whole life, and I really did have a bit of self-image trouble for a while afterwards. It was especially hypocritical of her because she was always digging for compliments herself, and she would no doubt have been quite unhappy if I was totally honest about something like her weight.
Of course, she was just a narcissist, and not representative of women as a whole; but the way some lads talk about their sex lives I almost imagine that to be closer to the norm. It really isn't hard to give a man what he wants, but so many women just seem to outright refuse.
>I think worrying about penis size is the male version of when women worry that they're too fat
You're not wrong, and that's what got me thinking about it to be fair. Blokes near universally know you're meant to sugar coat it when talking about your partner's weight; it seems only fair that women should return the favour by telling small/average endowed lads the little white lie that they're packing Saturn V rockets.
(except in that case, there actually is something they can do about it, so that's yet another double standard women get away with eh lads)
>>5953 >penis size is the male version of when women worry that they're too fat
I think women get too much of a pass when it comes to their sex organs. They always roll their eyes about us and our cocks but, let me tell you, if a woman ever jokes about your cock you can imply right back that she has a baggy vagina and it'll shut her little comedy club right down.
>>5954 Does this mean that all comments aside from the cock are more sincere? I've been complimented on my bum before but I have no idea what a girl would look for in a bum.
Chipping in my two pence on the big knob stuff: I'm a healthy enough size and if the statistics online are anywhere near true then something something bell curve something something (make your own joke). I've been with enough women for it to have come up in conversation, but actually only two of them ever made direct comments about my size.
Both were flattering, but I didn't like it that much. It struck me as clumsy, blunt, and a bit porn-y, if I'm honest. In retrospect, it makes sense that it was the girls who seemed more sexually inexperienced that mentioned it. It was said in a "this is what they want to hear" kind of way.
It was also objectifying, like my cock is some sort of tool to get a job done, rather than sensitive sexual organ whose shape and feeling changes depending on the mood of the idiot attached to it. The key to enjoyable sex for me has always been about really wanting the person, to the point where squeamishness or judgement about their body doesn't really cross my mind. I tend to compliment the girls I'm with a lot because I'm genuinely attracted to them, and it wouldn't matter if they revealed a paunch or stretch/birth marks or whatever else. It doesn't erase the stuff that got me into bed with them in the first place. If anything, it's exciting to see the variation and experience something (someone) new.
I also do my best to be free of insecurity about stuff I have less control over. It's a bit like getting upset about face shape or height or baldness or whatever. I'm a bit indifferent to comments about these things positive or negative. The times I do distinctly remember enjoying being complimented, though, it's on things I do have some control over. I love being complimented on my general fitness and body shape, grooming, sometimes even clothes, because these are things I put a load of effort and thought into.
>>5958 >>5960 I've tried to have an opinion on this but honestly I'm happy with any kind of fanny as long as I'm getting some.
With that proviso out the way I will say that they're usually representative of different styles, a nice tight fanny is a beautiful thing to be cherished but a looser fanny can just as easily let you go at it like a bull in a china shop all night long. But every fanny has been different so far for me, I'm just doing a broad generalisation that some women prefer a more gentle clit stimulation and some are all about the penetration aspect and as a lad with a lot of stamina that has a noticeable impact even if ultimately I prefer the feel of that first contact stretching her out.
Before you judge me about the above I have several close friends who are lesbians and when I asked them for tips it didn't sound like they really knew either.
