Baldness is seen as a deformity
Im a 28 gay man. My teenage years and early twenties were years of shy exploration. I was a fairly feminine guy, lithe and youthful (a twink if you will) and there was a certain market that ate that up. I loved that men found me attractive for what I was and my sexuality became very closly bonded to this aesthetic.Then when I turned 25 it all changed. Almost overnight my hair began to shed like crazy. I tried to slow it down with products like rogain, but they didnt work for me. Two years later my hair had completely fallen out, a full on horseshoe look at 27. I gave up and shaved my head completely bald.When this proccess started I really didnt notice or care that much. I just figured it was normal and all guys lose their hair eventually, so what if its happening a little early? However something disturbing accompanied this unexpected hairloss. Despite the fact that I still look like im 22 with a hat on, guys didnt offer to buy me drinks as much, or come up to dance with me, or flirt casually with me on the patio. As time went on and hair fell out, fewer and fewer guys seemed interested. Now when I go to the club, or meet a cute guy somewhere, the results are soul crushingly predictable. The nicer guys will chat with me but eventually smile and excuse themselves or make it clear that while they like me as a person, im not a sexually viable partner. The crueler guys have been far more blunt, one even coming out and just plain saying "You would have been really cute back when you had hair". That was when i realised that I was seen as deformed. No one wanted a slim, hairless, light skinned guy with a bald head. The signals were just too confusing. I had officially passed my expiration date.I instantly regretted not taking better advantage of my looks in my earlier years. I hadnt slept with very many people, I hadnt gotten into more than one relationship. I had lived my life as if I had another 15 years of youth left, and just played it safe and fun, keeping away from potential diseases or complicated relationships because i thought there was plenty of time. But then overnight my validity as a sexual creature was stripped away from me. It was heart breaking.Now im 28. If i show a picture of me with a hat on the boys go crazy still. If i walk into a club i can still draw plenty of looks, guys will come up and chat with me. But the second that hat comes off, the guy talking to me physically withdraws from shock and revulsion. The men sitting at the bar all turn back away and an empty circle forms around me on the dance floor. The group of people i was just talking and laughing with slowly begins to disperse one person at a time until im sitting alone at the table again. I wouldnt believe it if it wasnt happening to me right in front of my eyes.TL:DR Being a bald twink is a deformity that marks you as past your prime, and completely sexually invalid
