ppsshh...and see!? There we go again with the 'techstep's old' thing.

j/k...

Nah, scally's a possibility. Trick is finding one that doesn't look like its trying too hard to be hip or pseudointellectual.

haha was srs!
wondered what the proper name for them was

nothing wrong with baldness btw, was just worried about your ears getting cold

sorry for the thread-raid marsh

I've got the receding hairline but I seem to have stopped getting more bald, at least for the moment. I've just got frizzy peach-fuzz rather than proper hair on top.

Same; its fading in the front and back but staying in that neither-here-nor-there phase where its fine as long as I keep it shorter than an inch.

No problem...

You could change the the thread topic to ingrown toenails and bothersome skin blemishes and I'll still feel slightly less starved for attention.

receding hairlines are often sexy

here, have some attention

suuure...

what

proof that receding hairlines are sexy...

exhibit A

Supposedly they're taken as a sign of high testosterone so its an incentivized trait. I just think it looks better when its all there or all not though.

^ exhibit B

I think I might know where you heard that. Apparently, from what I've been told recently, though, the science is actually a little more complicated than that. But, as long as the myth persists among some women, that's all that really matters, I guess.

@OP: Even if we haven't helped you solve your problem, I hope we've at least distracted you enough to cheer you up a bit. It sounds like you have a lot going for you, so I hope you can work through this.

40 something and looking back ...

Milestones are not all they are cracked up to be.

In retrospect, my own obsession with milestones led to many serious decision errors at key turning points. In far too much of a hurry to reach "grown up" status and reach independence in order to engage in hedonism

A mad rush through high school, university and career. Nominal early "success" followed by a glass ceiling. Meanwhile, the nagging feeling something was badly wrong in my personal life. I could not quite put my finger on it until my Dx.

What of milestones?

Independence is a mirage. Independent from family - dependent on the economy or heaven forbid, the State / Leviathan. Codependent on partner as well, if you go there.

Good segue to marriage. That is a fool's errand for us. Had I known.

Living in an "age appropriate" manner? I see many NTs doing that. Living the family life. Nicely decorated homes. Debt. Stress. Let us face the facts that the person successful enough to avoid such toxins is rare, and rarer still are those of hereditary wealth, who have no need to leverage to the hilt.

The monks' path is looking better and better all the time.

From at least three different sources by now but; that doesn't diminish any of them in the slightest.


Heh, it'd be an interesting read I'm sure - regardless of whether it blew away a good illusion or two.

Then again I suppose looking fatherly again is one more thing that can go part and parcel.

OSB: There ya go! Exhibit C!
