Im Bald and I cant get a Girlfriend

29 04 2008

So I have suffered complete hair loss and I cant find a girlfriend. I am 24 years old and all my hair has fallen out I look like an old man I feel so depressed. Iv used different products such as regaine but nothing seems to work. I have spent hours a day just sitting there rubbing regain into my head hoping that I will be able to get 1 strand of hair back.

It has really depressed me I don’t like to leave the house now because I think everyone is going to stare at me it has really shook my self confidence and now I’m at an all time low. I think it all started when I was abit younger I used to put a pot of gel on my head a day before going out to school, people were always telling me your hairs going to fall out one day, but I didn’t care I was young and the wet look was the craze a few years back, what a fool am I should have listened to everyone now I am 24 without no money and no hair.

The doctors do not even want to help me, I went to them to say I was feeling depressed so they can get me one of these hair loss laser treatments that are available all they wanted to do was to send me counselling, I don’t bloody need counselling I need hair on my head what is wrong with everyone these days why do they not want to help me?





Is Cosmetic Surgery A Good Idea?

27 03 2008

In current times and society it seems to be that everyone must look perfect, like the models on the front covers ofmagazines. You have to be a size zero, eat one organic salad a week, and drive a hybrid car, or you’re just not cutting it by today’s standards. Because of this, an increasing number of people are resorting to cosmetic surgery to help them fit into this stereotype that has been imposed upon us, but the question remains…

Is cosmetic surgery worth the risks that are associated with it?

She didn’t get sick, she didn’t lose a breast, she didnt end up being disabled for the rest of her life… she died. The surgeon explained that they believe she suffered from a very rare reaction to the anaethesia causing the body to overheat, by the time they were able to get her to a hospital for treatment it was too late. Of course these situations are very rare, but the fact remains that it has to happen to someone… and do you really value large breasts over life itself? To me at least, it isn’t a hard choice to make – being alive and well with the body that god gave me is far more appealing than being dead with some silicone in me.

If its so dangerous, then why do so many people do it?

A good question, one that I unfortunately do not have the answer to. The number of people who elect to have cosmetic surgery each year has more than tripled over the last decade (with breast enlargement being the most popular surgery followed closely by liposuction) and although practices and technology are always improving, elective surgery is still not risk-free. Surgery is often made out to be as simple as going to get your ears pierced, you just pop in, have it done, go home, they’ll be tender for a couple of days, and then you’re all fine. Its not like that! the worst that can happen after an ear piercing is that you get an infected earlobe and have to take it out. A complication during a breast augmentation could mean losing your breast altogether, or creating an infection that could spread through the rest of you body.

So what should I do?

Wear a pushup bra, and enjoy life. Be content with who you are and have confidence in yourself. All easier said than done, but you do not need surgery to make you a stronger person.





Hydrate Your Skin with A Swimming Pool

19 03 2008

There’s a reason that GP’s tell us to drink 8 glasses of water a day, and its not just so we go to the toilet more often! Drinking water ‘cleans out your system’ and the includes (for a rather large part) all your pores, it moisturises your skin from the inside out rather than by applying products to the outside trying to get them in, and it also opens up your skin and flushes out all the oils, greases, and skin cells that build up and accumilate every day. Sounds tastey eh?

Another way to hydrate your skin (unsurprisingly) is to soak in water, as your skin absorbs the water. Kind of like the opposite of sweating, sort of. An excellent way to do this is with a swimming pool, if you are financially able enough to buy a swimming pool and stick it in your back garden, then you’re pretty much sorted! But for those AS financially able there are alternatives like a swim-spa, which is essentially a very large hot tub that spews a current of water which you swim against. Granted they still aren’t cheap, but at around a quarter the price of a full blown pool – its still a big difference.

Of course swimming pools aren’t perfect, ironically the chlorine actually dries out your skin – so the best thing to do is use a swimming pool with a balanced chemical mix that hasn’t been diluted too strongly. Public pools typically have very high swimming pool chemical levels due to the volume of people who use them, when using a private pool or hot tub typically you can be a lot more conservative with how many additives are floating around with you.

So if you’re ready to smoothen out that face for the summer, or soften up those legs, try hydrating yourself a bit more. Water does wonders!
