Maxim's Bald Wisdom: Are Bald Men Sexy?
00:01:17
Speaker
Welcome to our bonus content this week, ladies.
00:01:20
Speaker
This week, we're reading an article from Maxim.
00:01:22
Speaker
The title of the article is, Bald guys are seen as smart, dominant, and just plain sexy, study says.
00:01:29
Speaker
So this is already pinging my propaganda radar,
Men's vs Women's Magazines: Confidence and Insecurity
00:01:34
Speaker
right?
00:01:34
Speaker
First of all, it's in Maxim, and Maxim is known for being like a trash lad mag.
00:01:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:38
Speaker
They're just masturbating their male readership.
00:01:41
Speaker
They're just telling men what they want to hear, you know.
00:01:45
Speaker
The thing about this is, like, look at the difference between men's magazines and women's magazines.
00:01:50
Speaker
Women's magazines are all about making you feel insecure.
00:01:52
Speaker
Men's magazines are about making these guys feel irrationally confident.
00:01:56
Speaker
Yeah.
Dating Realities: Societal Messaging and Attraction
00:01:58
Speaker
So true.
00:01:58
Speaker
That's the thing, like...
00:02:00
Speaker
women's magazines are all about like oh you know you need to lower your standards or like women's magazines the female magazine counterpart of this would be the same thing essentially like pro-male propaganda like don't judge a man just because he's bald he could have other qualities that are great you need to give him a chance yeah that's exactly what would be in a women's magazine
00:02:19
Speaker
I think this phenomena also is what contributes to the fact that women tend to underestimate their attractiveness whilst men overestimate theirs, which is why, especially when men venture onto online dating, they get sort of a baptism of fire when they get no matches because they've been told all their lives that, you know, you're just, you know, you're fine as you are, like, just go out there and find a woman.
00:02:43
Speaker
Whereas with women, it's the opposite.
00:02:45
Speaker
We're told that we're never good enough.
00:02:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:47
Speaker
Men have been told their whole lives that their looks don't really matter.
00:02:50
Speaker
You know, women are told, like, that our looks are the most important thing.
00:02:54
Speaker
And, you know, in fact, like, the majority of a woman's value is based on her looks.
00:02:58
Speaker
Whereas with a man, you know, they're told, oh, you know, I could have other qualities and be ugly and it'll be fine kind
Societal Standards: Weight, Body Shape, and Perception
00:03:04
Speaker
of thing, right?
00:03:04
Speaker
And it's like, no, women like hot guys too, okay, right?
00:03:07
Speaker
So they get this really uncomfortable realization or very traumatizing feeling.
00:03:13
Speaker
truth which is like yeah women are visual too and i'll never forget when i recently read an article on on on one of the dating subreddits and it was from a guy saying i'm overweight do i have a chance of finding a partner and everyone was like yeah chicks dig overweight guys right and then pick me saying i love overweight men and i remember thinking but if that was a woman i mean some women do that's true but if it was a woman who was saying i'm overweight will i find a partner all the comments would tell her to lose weight
00:03:40
Speaker
Yeah, they would tell her like, well, it's going to be hard for you.
00:03:43
Speaker
It's going to be hard or, you know, men won't take you seriously or, you know, like men don't want an unhealthy woman.
00:03:48
Speaker
Men don't like obese women straight up.
00:03:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:51
Speaker
Exactly.
00:03:51
Speaker
They'd all just tell her to lose weight.
00:03:54
Speaker
Do you guys remember the old boomer humor?
00:03:56
Speaker
Men don't make passes at girls with fat asses, even though that's totally not true now.
00:04:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:01
Speaker
Because, like, the ass is now
Body Shapes and Attraction: A Double Standard?
00:04:03
Speaker
in.
00:04:03
Speaker
But I remember seeing those other, like, gag gift cards used to say stuff like that.
00:04:08
Speaker
So, you know, you want to know the funny thing?
00:04:10
Speaker
So I'm, like, naturally more, like, kind of pear-shaped.
00:04:13
Speaker
Like, I'm pretty bottom-heavy, both in terms of, like, my, like, thighs and my butt.
00:04:18
Speaker
And growing up in...
00:04:20
Speaker
um, you know, going through puberty and stuff.
00:04:22
Speaker
This was like in the early two thousands where like low rise jeans were all the rage and, you know, the beauty standard was to be super, super skinny.
00:04:30
Speaker
And so I just remember being so hard on myself and just hating my body and starving myself throughout most of my teen years, straight up.
00:04:39
Speaker
Um, and then like, um,
00:04:41
Speaker
Starting in university, that's when Kim Kardashian starts to become more popular and suddenly huge butts are in right now.
00:04:49
Speaker
I guess I'm just lucky that my body type is popular while I'm in my 20s, but still, body shapes go in and out of fashion, so I'm like, oh, fuck, in five years...
00:05:00
Speaker
Only women's body shapes go in and out of fashion.
00:05:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:03
Speaker
Because to be honest, I didn't even know that men's like, apart from like Rose, like I didn't even realize that actually men had different body shapes until Rose's little diagram.
00:05:15
Speaker
I don't know if I'm just saying...
00:05:17
Speaker
I know.
00:05:18
Speaker
But I was never told that growing up.
00:05:20
Speaker
I was like, never just like, you know, I was, I never saw that diagram anywhere.
00:05:25
Speaker
But you know, women, we all know that there's hourglass.
00:05:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:28
Speaker
There's apple, there's pear, there's this, there's that.
00:05:30
Speaker
But men, they also have body shapes.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yeah, no one told me either, but I have a very analytical type mind.
00:05:36
Speaker
So I was like, why do I find certain men's bodies attractive and not others?
00:05:40
Speaker
And so I really just started looking at it like, why is this guy's body hot?
00:05:43
Speaker
And the other guy to me looks kind of like stocky or like stumpy or something.
00:05:47
Speaker
And then I realized like, oh, there is such a thing as like chest or like shoulder to hip ratio.
00:05:55
Speaker
Shoulders to hip ratio.
00:05:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:57
Speaker
Like there's actually that for men too, as much as like the waist to hip ratio is harped on for women, like men actually have an equivalent of that.
00:06:04
Speaker
It's just not always highlighted because they don't get nearly as much body scrutiny.
00:06:07
Speaker
But I'm like, I know, I know what I like when I see it.
00:06:10
Speaker
And I just had to figure out, I had to fill in the blanks about like, why do I like this?
00:06:13
Speaker
Like,
00:06:14
Speaker
yeah yeah that's another thing like waist to hip ratio is just like i hear about it all the time waist to hip ratio waist to hip ratio waist to hip ratio that's what men find attractive waist to hip ratio and like nobody ever fucking talks about the shoulder to hip ratio which most women will say that they like a guy with really wide shoulders and a comparatively like narrow waist and itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face yeah
00:06:37
Speaker
If you look at the website for Maxim, they don't have like a health and wellness section or like nutrition section where they try to sell you a bunch of weight loss products like they do in women's magazines.
00:06:46
Speaker
The categories are entertainment, style, rides, luxury, gear, food and drink, travel, sports, women, video, and then Maxim CoverGirl.
00:06:54
Speaker
So like it's all about style, making men feel good about themselves.
00:06:58
Speaker
And it's all about entertainment.
00:07:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:00
Speaker
Women.
00:07:01
Speaker
Women, right.
00:07:02
Speaker
And then like objectifying women, right?
00:07:04
Speaker
And then you have on like the front page current events.
00:07:07
Speaker
It's not just like all these feel good fluff things about like, I finally had the confidence to go outside in a bikini.
00:07:13
Speaker
You know, like it's...
00:07:16
Speaker
I finally asked a guy out on a date.
00:07:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:19
Speaker
Not that weird, like constantly insecure energy that I hate from like women's magazines.
00:07:24
Speaker
Like it's totally different.
00:07:26
Speaker
So if we were to, if FDS were to expand, I want to make something that's way more empowered.
00:07:32
Speaker
I consider this to be a form of informational warfare where the media that men consume is
00:07:36
Speaker
is uplifting to them it entertains them it makes them feel good about themselves it gives them irrational confidence like frankly unearned confidence say it again women's media women's media is the opposite it actually is you know it's similar to
Media Critique: Attractiveness Norms and Pressures
00:07:51
Speaker
you know when one country is like spreading like disinformation to demoralize the other population right like women are subjected to this sort of informational warfare all the time and we need to come up with a counter strategy we need to come up with our own informational warfare to throw back at them i haven't
00:08:06
Speaker
I've seen the male of equivalent of a thigh gap.
00:08:09
Speaker
you know, controversy.
00:08:10
Speaker
Like, Thigh Gaps owned all of our women's magazines for, like, a whole summer, didn't it?
00:08:15
Speaker
Or, like, maybe even a year.
00:08:16
Speaker
Remember when Thigh Gaps were everywhere?
00:08:18
Speaker
Oh, the Bikini Bridge?
00:08:19
Speaker
That was the other one that was fucked up.
00:08:20
Speaker
The Bikini Bridge, the hip dips.
00:08:22
Speaker
Like, literally every year, they come up with some new thing we have to care about.
00:08:27
Speaker
It was hip.
00:08:27
Speaker
Get rid of your hip dips.
00:08:29
Speaker
Have a Thigh Gap.
00:08:30
Speaker
Didn't they just kept, like, creating these new physical insecurities in women?
00:08:33
Speaker
And I've never seen, like, not one thing like that come out of men's magazines.
00:08:37
Speaker
Yeah, in fact, it's the opposite.
00:08:39
Speaker
Like this one, bald guys are seen as smart, dominant, and just plain sexy, says a study.
00:08:44
Speaker
Because, yeah, like that's the one thing that maybe women, you know, maybe dick size and like baldness, those are the two things that men tend to be insecure about.
00:08:52
Speaker
And yet, like the men's magazines, it's all about like, you don't need to have a big dick.
00:08:56
Speaker
Like women's vaginas are only like four inches long.
00:08:58
Speaker
Like, you know, you can please a woman kind of thing.
00:09:00
Speaker
Lies!
00:09:01
Speaker
I'll die on the hill that that dick size is important.
00:09:03
Speaker
I don't care.
00:09:04
Speaker
But anyways, should we get back to the article?
00:09:06
Speaker
All right, so let's actually do this.
00:09:07
Speaker
So let's actually get back to the topic at hand.
00:09:11
Speaker
Sorry for the long tirade.
00:09:13
Speaker
But yeah, so, again, bald guys are seen as smart, dominant, and just plain sexy, Steady says.
00:09:18
Speaker
Subtitle, Baldies Rejoice.
00:09:21
Speaker
And there's a picture here of Jason Statham...
00:09:24
Speaker
with his gorgeous supermodel girlfriend, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
00:09:29
Speaker
And I just want to say, first of all, gross age gap.
00:09:31
Speaker
Secondly, Jason Statham is attractive, but most bald men do not.
00:09:36
Speaker
He's an attractive man.
00:09:36
Speaker
He's an attractive man.
00:09:37
Speaker
But first of all, he would probably be more attractive with hair.
00:09:40
Speaker
And secondly, most men don't look like Jason Statham.
00:09:43
Speaker
So that's just Cope, just straight out the gates.
00:09:45
Speaker
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I actually don't mind a man who's bald.
00:09:49
Speaker
I would prefer that than when they're hanging on to their straggly hair for dear life when they've got bald patches.
00:09:55
Speaker
I actually don't have a problem with bald men.
00:09:57
Speaker
I'm just saying.
00:09:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:58
Speaker
But again, like every woman has a different preference, right?
00:10:01
Speaker
And so some women, it's not that important to them.
00:10:03
Speaker
Like, just like Savannah, you know, you like men who are tall, but for me, tallness is not an important thing.
00:10:08
Speaker
Like I'll date a guy who's the same height as me and that's not a standard that I have, right?
00:10:12
Speaker
Hair is actually my deal breaker.
00:10:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:14
Speaker
Yeah, hair is a deal breaker for me and for Roe, okay?
00:10:17
Speaker
I like a guy with a full head of hair.
00:10:19
Speaker
Once he starts going bald, I'm like, no, you kind of look like my dad.
00:10:23
Speaker
I just can't do it.
00:10:24
Speaker
That's exactly what it is.
00:10:25
Speaker
I have too many male relatives that went bald that I look at them and I'm like, I don't know.
00:10:29
Speaker
There's nothing sexual to me about a bald man.
00:10:31
Speaker
I don't know what it is.
00:10:32
Speaker
So, I don't know.
00:10:33
Speaker
Maybe because, Savannah, didn't you say your dad has a full head of hair and so you don't associate baldness with...
00:10:40
Speaker
No, no, he did.
00:10:41
Speaker
This is the thing.
00:10:41
Speaker
Like, he used to have, like, a massive, massive afro, like, Jackson 5.
00:10:45
Speaker
Like, if he straightened his hair, it would be, like, mid-back level.
00:10:49
Speaker
He had, like, a full head of hair, then he just gradually went, like, bald over the years.
00:10:54
Speaker
I've never really associated, I guess?
Personal Preferences: Baldness and Beauty Standards
00:10:57
Speaker
Maybe you just don't associate baldness with dadness.
00:11:00
Speaker
Yeah, maybe that.
00:11:02
Speaker
And also, because my dad's a good person, so I don't associate it with scrotery as well.
00:11:07
Speaker
That's the other thing.
00:11:08
Speaker
My dad's a piece of shit.
00:11:09
Speaker
I just do it as...
00:11:14
Speaker
Yeah, my dad's just, he's just aged.
00:11:15
Speaker
Yeah, I've just seen it as, yeah.
00:11:18
Speaker
So, that's probably why.
00:11:20
Speaker
Well, that's an interesting psychoanalysis of the three hosts here.
00:11:23
Speaker
So that's one thing.
00:11:25
Speaker
Secondly, I want to talk about this image and how the sort of low-key propaganda that men get of like, I'm sure the bald men looking at that, bald men are looking at this picture of Jason Statham and Rosie and thinking, oh, I could get with a girl like that.
00:11:39
Speaker
Right?
00:11:41
Speaker
Right.
00:11:43
Speaker
Right, that's the sort of psyop that, like, men see that and they think, they identify with Jason Statham and it's sort of normalizing this idea that, like, every guy deserves a hot girl, right?
00:11:52
Speaker
Or could get a hot girl.
00:11:53
Speaker
It's also pushing the idea that women who maybe aren't into bold men are somehow abnormal.
00:12:00
Speaker
That's what I don't like about the tone of this article.
00:12:03
Speaker
Like, it's perfectly fine to have physical preferences.
00:12:07
Speaker
But this article sort of pushing it is...
00:12:10
Speaker
Oh, it's, you know, most women like bald men, and we know that's inaccurate to just an outright lie somewhere, because there are women who prefer their man-tab hair, and that's okay.
00:12:23
Speaker
So, into the article, with increasing age comes many wonderful things, including hard-learned wisdom, better sex, and cold hard cash.
00:12:31
Speaker
False.
00:12:31
Speaker
False!
00:12:32
Speaker
First of all, I want to say...
00:12:35
Speaker
Again, I hate this lie that like, you know, the whole men age like fine wine thing, right?
00:12:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:40
Speaker
Again, more male propaganda.
00:12:42
Speaker
Men read that and they think, oh, I'm going to get better with age.
00:12:45
Speaker
And it's like, yeah, you might have more money, but generally men are more attractive when they're younger.
00:12:49
Speaker
That's just a fact.
00:12:51
Speaker
and they don't they still live at home we've spoken about this yeah yeah yeah a lot of older guys don't necessarily it's not like age and money is like a linear relationship right like you know a lot of older guys boomerang sons all these boomerang sons boomerang uh divorcees yeah
00:13:11
Speaker
But like women's magazines compare that, for example, do women's magazines go like, oh, yeah, your sexual marketplace value increases with age, right?
00:13:18
Speaker
No, women's magazines are all about like bagging a man as soon as you possibly can or like how to look younger or, you know, anti-aging, you know, trying to sell you anti-aging creams and shit like that, right?
00:13:29
Speaker
It's all about trying to make you feel insecure to sell you shit.
00:13:32
Speaker
With men's magazines, it's the opposite.
00:13:33
Speaker
It's like, it's like, man, like, don't worry, you're going to get better with age.
00:13:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:38
Speaker
Anyways.
Aging Gracefully? Media Narratives in Gendered Aging
00:13:39
Speaker
Somehow, magically.
00:13:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:40
Speaker
So we're one line in and I already hate it.
00:13:42
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:42
Speaker
I know.
00:13:43
Speaker
But since life is a total bitch, aging also flings some serious horse shit our way too, namely in the form of achy knees, the dad bod, and baldness.
00:13:52
Speaker
Oh, that darn male pattern baldness.
00:13:54
Speaker
I want to say, like, first of all, like, this is such a stupid article.
00:14:00
Speaker
A total bitch.
00:14:01
Speaker
I'm going to just throw some serious horse shit our way.
00:14:03
Speaker
Like, wow, great writing.
00:14:05
Speaker
Seriously.
00:14:05
Speaker
Ten out of ten.
00:14:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:06
Speaker
Pulitzer Prize winning, you know, pros there, seriously.
00:14:11
Speaker
Statistics show, and by the way, we're going to get into these statistics later, but statistics show that by the age 35, around 66% of men lose a considerable amount of hair.
00:14:21
Speaker
And by 55, 85% have significant hair loss.
00:14:24
Speaker
And by significant hair loss, I mean bald.
00:14:26
Speaker
Just like Mr. Clean.
00:14:29
Speaker
Okay.
00:14:30
Speaker
Well, I mean, sounds like they're hitting the wall.
00:14:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:35
Speaker
You know, that thing they claim doesn't exist for men.
00:14:38
Speaker
It sounds like they're hitting the wall.
00:14:40
Speaker
I mean, what's wild about it is like, what's wild about the whole wall thing is how they like, they use women's waning fertility as evidence of us hitting the wall.
00:14:49
Speaker
But like for men, they basically hit the wall like a Mack truck because of the fact that they lose all their hair.
00:14:56
Speaker
Like they're like, it's, you can't really physically tell the difference between women and
00:15:00
Speaker
between in their 20s and 30s if they're like relatively healthy, but you can massively tell the difference between a bald man and a not bald man, right?
00:15:07
Speaker
Women actually age gracefully.
00:15:09
Speaker
Men do not.
00:15:10
Speaker
One day they're fine.
00:15:11
Speaker
The next day their scalps are shining like a cue ball.
00:15:17
Speaker
I've posted this on Twitter how, you know, men often say, you know, men talk about women's declining fertility as like proof of our declining sexual marketplace value.
00:15:25
Speaker
And here's the thing.
00:15:26
Speaker
It's irrelevant if men can technically reproduce at 50 and women can't because young women don't want to fuck old guys.
00:15:35
Speaker
Right?
00:15:35
Speaker
Like, even if it's true that women are maximally fertile in their 20s, we don't want to fuck a 50-year-old man, right?
00:15:42
Speaker
And so, you know, and they keep trying to push this and push this and push this and push this.
00:15:47
Speaker
He's not maximally fertile.
00:15:48
Speaker
Not only is he... I mean, yeah, technically he can produce sperm, but, you know, there's birth defects and stuff.
00:15:54
Speaker
But my point being that, like...
00:15:56
Speaker
women, young, fertile women don't want to fuck old guys.
00:15:59
Speaker
And so it's irrelevant if they can technically reproduce if, you know, they can't get a girl with any, by any means other than like financial coercion, right?
00:16:07
Speaker
Which is why they keep pushing this idea of like, women's sexual marketplace values when they're 23, when they're the hottest, and men's sexual marketplace value is highest when they're like 40 or 50, when they have the most money.
00:16:16
Speaker
No!
00:16:17
Speaker
Okay?
00:16:18
Speaker
We want to fuck guys our own fucking age, okay?
00:16:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:21
Speaker
God, stop spreading this propaganda.
00:16:24
Speaker
I just read this too, like, technically Rosie Hunt and Whitley, they're not married.
00:16:28
Speaker
Is she like his baby mama on top of that?
00:16:30
Speaker
Are they?
00:16:30
Speaker
Because they're extra ill.
00:16:32
Speaker
I don't think they are married.
00:16:33
Speaker
I swore they were married.
00:16:35
Speaker
Hold on, how old is she?
00:16:36
Speaker
She's in her 30s, I think.
00:16:38
Speaker
She's like 34 and he's 54.
00:16:40
Speaker
Ooh.
00:16:41
Speaker
Oh yeah, they've had two children and they haven't gotten married.
00:16:44
Speaker
Oh shit.
00:16:45
Speaker
He's hosing her.
00:16:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:48
Speaker
Let's see, she's 34, and Jason Statham is 54.
00:16:51
Speaker
So, again, 20-year age gap.
00:16:53
Speaker
That's... Ugh.
00:16:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:56
Speaker
And he hasn't married her?
00:16:57
Speaker
God, she can do better.
00:16:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:59
Speaker
Anyways, queen.
00:17:00
Speaker
She deserves better.
00:17:01
Speaker
I mean, actually, no, not queen.
00:17:02
Speaker
She deserves better.
00:17:03
Speaker
She could be a queen.
00:17:04
Speaker
Unless she makes, like, way more money than how much I doubt.
00:17:06
Speaker
And that's the thing with models is that they generally try to... This is why a lot of them date older is because they're trying to secure
Age and Financial Dynamics in Relationships
00:17:12
Speaker
the bag.
00:17:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:12
Speaker
They're trying to...
00:17:14
Speaker
get someone to support them if they haven't made that much money modeling i know she was i think she was doing victoria's secret at one point and even did a few movies but i don't she's nowhere near as well paid as he is i think she's one of the more higher paid ones but a lot of models but she doesn't touch his wealth for sure he's definitely the richer partner no not even close yeah she she has like i think nine million dollars net worth let's see jason statham net worth
00:17:39
Speaker
Some people are saying, oh, he's grossed because his films have grossed over a billion.
00:17:45
Speaker
Yeah, so he's definitely the more wealthy partner, right?
00:17:47
Speaker
He's the wealthier partner, yeah, 100%.
00:17:50
Speaker
Should have married him.
00:17:52
Speaker
And then clean them out if it goes left.
00:17:55
Speaker
But anyways, back to the article.
00:17:57
Speaker
Sure, having a gorgeous head of hair is a blessing, but hey, no shame in being a baldy.
Should Physical Changes Affect Relationships?
00:18:02
Speaker
There's no use fighting it if your hair is falling out.
00:18:04
Speaker
I do agree with that.
00:18:05
Speaker
I agree with that, to be fair.
00:18:07
Speaker
Yeah, don't be out here looking like a circus clown.
00:18:09
Speaker
Yeah, stop looking like Gollum.
00:18:10
Speaker
Like some guys end up looking like Gollum.
00:18:12
Speaker
You know, like the straggly hair.
00:18:15
Speaker
Yeah, straggly hair and like the weird horseshoe thing going on.
00:18:19
Speaker
Just shave it off.
00:18:20
Speaker
Take it down.
00:18:21
Speaker
Don't go for the Gollum look.
00:18:22
Speaker
A couple things.
00:18:23
Speaker
First of all, hair loss actually is reversible.
00:18:25
Speaker
That's a myth.
00:18:25
Speaker
So it's like, here's the thing, like, but it takes work to reverse the hair loss, you know?
00:18:30
Speaker
So there's Rogaine, which, you know, has had amazing results for a lot of men.
00:18:35
Speaker
And there's also, you know, some people will put like, and I have this as part of my beauty routine is using rosemary oil as like a scalp treatment that just makes my hair a little bit like thicker, but it also can be used for men's hair loss.
00:18:48
Speaker
And there's also a hair transplant surgery, right?
00:18:51
Speaker
Like, or yeah, hair transplant surgery.
00:18:54
Speaker
And this might be unpopular, but I actually think that all men should be saving up for hair transplant surgery from the moment they get their first job because, you
00:19:05
Speaker
Like, I refuse to accept this.
00:19:07
Speaker
I refuse to accept the fact that, oh, men just go bald and that's just something women have to deal with.
00:19:11
Speaker
When women, we spend so much time and so much money and so much effort.
00:19:15
Speaker
Like, if I started going bald, there's no amount of money that would stop me from trying to fix it, right?
00:19:22
Speaker
Like, I would do absolutely everything in my power.
00:19:24
Speaker
I'd try Rogaine.
00:19:25
Speaker
I'd try the, you know, essential oil.
00:19:26
Speaker
If that didn't work, I would drop $20,000 on hair transplant surgery.
00:19:30
Speaker
Deadass, okay?
00:19:31
Speaker
Like, men, we need to...
00:19:34
Speaker
get men to give a shit about their appearance as much as women give a shit about their appearance okay i know most feminists they try to do the whole like oh you know love yourself you know accept yourself uh don't you know uh capitulate to patriarchal beauty standards it's like unfortunately those beauty standards exist and my strategy is to make men give a shit is to you know raise the bar instead of lowering the bar for women i want to raise the bar for men okay it's
00:19:58
Speaker
you know, and a good example of this would be like machine gun Kelly, right?
00:20:01
Speaker
Like he started going bald and he looked ugly.
00:20:04
Speaker
Like he just looked like a scrote, right?
00:20:05
Speaker
And then he got hair transplant surgery.
00:20:07
Speaker
Now he's with Megan Fox.
00:20:08
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:09
Speaker
The results speak for themselves, but level up, bro.
00:20:12
Speaker
Level up, bro.
00:20:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:13
Speaker
So first of all, it's not true that hair loss is irreversible.
00:20:15
Speaker
There are things that you can do to reverse it.
00:20:17
Speaker
And so when I see a guy who's, especially if he's wealthy and he's bald, I'm like, what's the fuck is wrong with you?
00:20:22
Speaker
Like you have the money to fix this problem and you're choosing not to like,
00:20:28
Speaker
I see that as a fundamental character flaw.
00:20:29
Speaker
How dare you!
00:20:32
Speaker
I mean, my personal stance is if a guy wants to grow bold, that's fine.
00:20:36
Speaker
But he should also accept that not every woman is into that.
00:20:42
Speaker
Some, I mean, like, for example, Wayne Rooney has had hair transplants and he still looks like a bridge troll.
00:20:47
Speaker
Like, I think there's only so much hair transplants can actually do for a person's looks anyway.
00:20:54
Speaker
But then again, I'm not against dating a guy who's bald.
00:20:58
Speaker
So that's just a personal preference to
00:21:00
Speaker
Yeah, for me, hair is important.
00:21:01
Speaker
And so it's a deal breaker.
00:21:02
Speaker
If a guy's bald, I don't care if he has any other qualities.
00:21:05
Speaker
He could be literally the most perfect person in the world.
00:21:08
Speaker
I'm sorry, I just like a full head of hair.
00:21:09
Speaker
I just... Kills my lady boner seeing a bald guy.
00:21:12
Speaker
Just a question, though.
00:21:13
Speaker
So if you were married to somebody, say, for 10 years, and they went bald 10 years in, would you get a divorce?
00:21:19
Speaker
I would tell him to buy Rogaine.
00:21:21
Speaker
Straight up, I would tell him.
00:21:22
Speaker
And he refused.
00:21:22
Speaker
And he refused.
00:21:23
Speaker
And he didn't want to buy Rogaine, didn't want to get a hair transplant.
00:21:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:27
Speaker
Honestly, yeah, I probably would divorce him, especially if I was still attractive.
00:21:31
Speaker
Really?
00:21:32
Speaker
Yeah, especially if I was still attractive and he was no longer attractive to me.
00:21:38
Speaker
Probably.
00:21:38
Speaker
I mean, if we had kids and stuff, probably not.
00:21:40
Speaker
I wouldn't want to like destroy my family, you know, over like something like hair.
00:21:44
Speaker
Right.
00:21:44
Speaker
But if we had no kids and we were just like together and I, again, like, I don't want to have sex with someone I don't find attractive.
00:21:51
Speaker
Right.
00:21:51
Speaker
If I don't find them attractive, what's the point of saying marriage to someone that I don't want to fuck?
00:21:55
Speaker
Like if we were both old, if we were both in our like fifties and sixties and he's going bald, then whatever.
00:22:01
Speaker
But like right now, the guys that are starting to go bald, I'm like, I don't, I don't,
00:22:05
Speaker
I don't think it's going to happen.
00:22:06
Speaker
Like, or they're already bald.
00:22:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:08
Speaker
I think I would just avoid... I feel like late pattern baldness is one thing if it's like 50s or 60s, but like early pattern baldness... Yeah, a lot of guys in their 20s and 30s are starting to go bald like way sooner than before.
00:22:20
Speaker
And I think it's like the fast food, poor diet, and lack of exercise that's causing them to
Investing in Appearance: Hair Loss Solutions for Men
00:22:25
Speaker
age prematurely.
00:22:25
Speaker
Again, like...
00:22:29
Speaker
We need to raise, I think that women having high standards is good for all of humanity because when we set the standard, like, I'm not going to fuck you if you have these flaws, set the bar high and men will jump.
00:22:39
Speaker
Deadass.
00:22:40
Speaker
Like, set the bar high, men will jump because having sex is so important to them that they will do whatever it takes to have sex with you.
00:22:48
Speaker
It would really depend.
00:22:49
Speaker
And like I said, if I was still attracted to him and there's a bunch of other things that are distracted to him, I'd probably be fine.
00:22:55
Speaker
But I'm not lying that I probably would avoid men now who are already balding.
00:23:00
Speaker
Yeah, that's different though, to be fair, because that's something that they have at the moment.
00:23:06
Speaker
But I'm just talking about like, he's got a full head of hair now, but in 15 years time, he doesn't.
00:23:10
Speaker
Because you can't foresee that, really.
00:23:13
Speaker
You can if you look at the male family members on the mother's side.
00:23:16
Speaker
That's another thing I actually pay attention to when I'm meeting my boyfriend's family.
00:23:19
Speaker
Is that actually true?
00:23:21
Speaker
Yeah, hair loss is related to... comes from the mom's genes, actually.
00:23:26
Speaker
And so I'm actually lucky in that way because on my mom's side, all of the men have a full head of hair well into their... My grandfather, my mom's dad, had a full head of hair on his deathbed.
00:23:39
Speaker
Literally like...
00:23:40
Speaker
He died with a full head of hair.
00:23:42
Speaker
Barely any receding, slight receding hairline, but like very minor, right?
00:23:47
Speaker
So I know that I'm just genetically gifted like that.
00:23:51
Speaker
My kids would not be going bald probably, hopefully.
00:23:54
Speaker
I could never do, I could never do a guy that like,
00:23:56
Speaker
settled into the Kevin Durant because that's what I'm afraid of.
00:23:59
Speaker
If you've ever seen Kevin Durant's bald pattern, like he doesn't do anything with his hair and he just lets like the middle, the middle is just bald and he has like the, the fryer tuck thing going on, but he doesn't like style his hair in any type of way to make it like make up for it, either take it down close.
00:24:14
Speaker
So it's not as noticeable or like cover it or do anything.
00:24:17
Speaker
So like my fear is if I dated a guy who like wasn't trying at all, like I would end up with like the Kevin Durant style fryer tuck thing.
00:24:25
Speaker
And then I would be like,
00:24:27
Speaker
i'm trying to think kevin durant hair i don't know what he looks like oh god yeah no there's like a picture oh my god okay there's one picture if you look on google images kevin durant hair it's like a picture of like a bunch of ground beef being fried in a pan next to his hair
00:24:50
Speaker
Yeah, it's like, if you're going bald, dude, just shave it off, right?
00:24:55
Speaker
Take it down close.
00:24:56
Speaker
I think if he had taken it down close, he looks very handsome, but otherwise, yeah.
00:24:59
Speaker
Don't do the Gollum look.
00:25:01
Speaker
That's just not attractive.
00:25:02
Speaker
Don't be like Rolo Tomasi.
00:25:04
Speaker
You know Rolo Tomasi is that Manosphere scrote?
00:25:07
Speaker
He wears a baseball cap in every single video of him, but he's got long hair, and we just know that he's got a receding hairline, right?
00:25:18
Speaker
I feel like you'd have to be into self-humiliation to have long hair and be going bald, right?
00:25:26
Speaker
I think he just lacks self-respect.
00:25:29
Speaker
Like, have some self-respect and shave that shit off, okay?
Self-Perception and Media Biases
00:25:32
Speaker
I want to roast him another episode, because he's been making the rounds on social media lately, talking about how women age and are low value after 35.
00:25:40
Speaker
Like, and he's, why does this man have a platform?
00:25:43
Speaker
But go ahead.
00:25:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:43
Speaker
Like, it's, again, I tell him straight up to his face, like, it's irrelevant if you think that you're high value.
00:25:49
Speaker
Women don't want to fuck old men.
00:25:50
Speaker
Like...
00:25:51
Speaker
If somebody is constantly wearing like a baseball cap and they've got supposedly long hair, it's because their hairline is vanishing.
00:25:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:00
Speaker
If I ever see this man, the first thing I'm going to ask is like, take that cap off, bruh.
00:26:04
Speaker
Let's go ahead.
00:26:08
Speaker
because he's he's really hiding a lot you can tell he's hiding a lot of sins behind it but yeah okay sorry let's get back to this article we're never gonna make it through the article we're never gonna make it through it was gonna be like an hour-long episode and we're only like three sentences into this article and we're at like 30 minutes but you guys deserve the extended chatter yeah okay
00:26:29
Speaker
Okay, okay, so he says, yeah, there's no use fighting it if your hair is falling out.
00:26:33
Speaker
False.
00:26:34
Speaker
You should fight it.
00:26:35
Speaker
Plus, if you just shave off any remaining tufts of hair instead of combing it over like a dweeb and just go for the clean, bald look, think of all the time and money you'll save, and not to mention how badass you'll look.
00:26:46
Speaker
Okay, that's another thing that pisses me off, is that with men, they just shave their head and they save all this time, money, and energy.
00:26:51
Speaker
Women spend so much time and money on our hair,
00:26:55
Speaker
I hate it.
00:26:56
Speaker
Even women with short hair.
00:26:58
Speaker
Even women with short hair, you still have to style it.
00:27:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:01
Speaker
Although I do agree, like, if you're going bald, just, like, shave it off.
00:27:03
Speaker
Like, have some self-respect.
00:27:04
Speaker
Anyways.
00:27:06
Speaker
And guess what?
00:27:06
Speaker
Going bald or just shaving all your hair off is actually one of the greatest things that can happen to you, because apparently bald dudes are perceived as more intelligent, dominant, and overall sexier than men who have a full head of hair.
00:27:18
Speaker
Or so says Dr. Frank Mus...
00:27:21
Speaker
so says dr frank muscarella from bear university in florida dr frank is bald right like he definitely is is bald like dr frank is a goddamn lie that's all yeah dr frank is a fucking snake oil salesperson selling lies okay so hold on i just googled and yeah he's definitely got like a light bulb thing going on like the you know the receding hairline where it just like um
00:27:45
Speaker
It goes from, like, ear to ear.
The Baldness Debate: Dominance and Attractiveness
00:27:47
Speaker
Dr. Frank Muscarella.
00:27:48
Speaker
Yeah, he's definitely got a receding hairline.
00:27:51
Speaker
I'm guessing it's one of the bald ones in the Google search.
00:27:55
Speaker
I mean, he still sort of has hair, but yeah, he's definitely got a receding hairline.
00:27:58
Speaker
It's like... Like, you can definitely tell he's grown it out and has tried to, like, comb it kind of forward so that it covers his hairline, but... Yeah.
00:28:06
Speaker
Okay, yeah, okay.
00:28:08
Speaker
Yeah, but still, he's a lie.
00:28:10
Speaker
Even if he's still got some hair, he's still a liar.
00:28:13
Speaker
So...
00:28:15
Speaker
Anyways, interested in why baldness is still a thing, even though it's seen as such a horribly negative thing, Muscarella set out on a noble quest to find out why the baldness trait hasn't been bred out of humans yet.
00:28:25
Speaker
Okay, that's an interesting question, actually.
00:28:27
Speaker
In his study, Muscarella and his team asked participants to rate a selection of men in four domains, physical attractiveness, aggressiveness, appeasement, and social maturity, which included factors like honesty, intelligence, and social status.
00:28:40
Speaker
Once he crunched the numbers, he found that generally people perceive bald dudes as more honest, intelligent, and dominant, which are obviously all good things.
00:28:47
Speaker
However, there's one bit of bad news.
00:28:49
Speaker
Baldness decreases perceived physical attractiveness just a touch, but no matter.
00:28:53
Speaker
See?
00:28:53
Speaker
No, no, emphasize that.
00:28:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:56
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:28:56
Speaker
Don't downplay that.
00:28:57
Speaker
Yeah, don't downplay that shit.
00:29:00
Speaker
Look how they go out of their way to like fillet their male audience, right?
00:29:03
Speaker
Like, oh, just a touch.
00:29:06
Speaker
And just how they downplay that there are some women, probably a significant number, who don't find that attractive.
00:29:13
Speaker
This is why men feel so, I guess, misled when they go into the real world and start getting rejected left, right and centre.
00:29:21
Speaker
Like they say women can't take rejection, but these guys are essentially saying it's going to reduce your attractiveness, but then saying, oh, it doesn't matter when it absolutely does.
00:29:31
Speaker
in real terms and it's honestly it's because of mainstream narratives like this that i can almost understand why men become like incels or red pillars like the red pill to them they've been lied to yeah they they have they when i read the red pill or incel subreddits they're all talking about how they feel like they've been lied to by society and like
Power Dynamics and Societal Narratives in Attraction
00:29:48
Speaker
oh women actually like men who are attractive women actually like men who are rich that kind of thing as if that's surprising to them and it's like
00:29:56
Speaker
Yeah, like, they say this in a, in a bad way, in like, sort of a backfooting way, as if women, you know, if we want to prove that we're good people, we have to not be attracted to these things.
00:30:07
Speaker
Or, you know, as if our attraction to these things are an inherent flaw, and not just like the way things are.
00:30:13
Speaker
Again, we need to have a counter-narrative.
00:30:15
Speaker
People criticize FDS for, oh, you're exactly like all the women that those red pill guys complain about kind of thing.
00:30:21
Speaker
And it's like, yeah, because they're unreasonable for thinking that the things that women want are unreasonable, right?
00:30:28
Speaker
We're trying to normalize the things that women want, which is, yes, we want attractive men and we want guys who...
00:30:33
Speaker
have money.
00:30:34
Speaker
That's just a fact.
00:30:34
Speaker
I don't think we need them to try harder.
00:30:36
Speaker
We just, that's the thing.
00:30:37
Speaker
They're always complaining about the curve and how women only want the top 20% of men.
00:30:41
Speaker
Well, that means that the middle needs to get dragged up.
00:30:44
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:30:45
Speaker
We're not happy with this either, which means y'all got to try harder.
00:30:49
Speaker
Yeah, the solution is for men to improve themselves, not for women to lower their standards.
00:30:53
Speaker
And that's what I mean about this being good for humanity, because women lowering their standards is just a race to the bottom for everybody.
00:30:59
Speaker
I just think that's overall bad for humanity.
00:31:03
Speaker
Yeah, like female sexual selection in nature is a powerful force for maintaining the health of a population.
00:31:09
Speaker
I find it funny that this study, he says he did it to see, you know, why has baldness not been bred out of the human population?
00:31:16
Speaker
Well, because women's ability to choose our sexual partners has been severely, severely restricted under patriarchy.
00:31:23
Speaker
So I've read, and I don't know if he makes this argument in this article, but I've read that increased testosterone actually causes baldness, in which case it could just, it could be that those guys were... They were just more horny in their 20s and 30s, yeah.
00:31:34
Speaker
More aggressive or psychopathic, yeah, or like psychopathic, meaning they just have like endless amounts of testosterone and so they're more...
00:31:42
Speaker
And that makes sense why a lot of villains are portrayed as bald, if you haven't noticed.
00:31:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:46
Speaker
Like, all of the superheroes always have, like, a full head of hair, but, like, the supervillains will be bald.
00:31:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:52
Speaker
And I'm wondering if that says something about, like, our perception of baldness, of being a trait of men who have excess testosterone and maybe, like, slightly sociopathic or psychopathic.
00:32:03
Speaker
Yeah, you look at, like, I don't know, guys like Jeff Bezos or whatever.
00:32:05
Speaker
He looks like a supervillain, right?
00:32:07
Speaker
Like, he looks like Lex Luthor.
00:32:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:10
Speaker
You know, so, yeah, maybe it is that, like, yeah, the increased testosterone causes them to be more, I guess, like, aggressive or, you know, sociopathic.
00:32:20
Speaker
That's why they're able to.
00:32:21
Speaker
And the other thing is, like, men who get male pattern baldness tend not to go bald until their 40s and 50s after they've already reproduced, right?
00:32:29
Speaker
So if they've already reproduced in their 20s and 30s when they have a full head of hair, it's not something that gets selected against.
00:32:35
Speaker
Yeah, there's like a whole... You guys should just Google bald villains or bald MCU characters, and there's just like a whole plethora of pictures here of like how many supervillains are bald.
00:32:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:32:48
Speaker
And that can't be a coincidence.
00:32:50
Speaker
Exactly, yeah.
00:32:51
Speaker
That's got to be some kind of subconscious thing with humanity.
00:32:54
Speaker
The bad news, baldness decreases perceived physical attractiveness just a touch, but no matter.
00:33:00
Speaker
And it's like...
00:33:01
Speaker
And he says, the increase in the other domains cancels that out.
00:33:06
Speaker
No, it doesn't.
00:33:07
Speaker
Okay?
00:33:07
Speaker
Yeah, it doesn't.
00:33:08
Speaker
Sorry.
00:33:08
Speaker
We like men who are attractive.
00:33:10
Speaker
Okay?
00:33:11
Speaker
And again, I have this problem with this idea that women are not visual creatures or whatever, right?
00:33:16
Speaker
I don't like this narrative that men keep trying to push that like women are down for whatever or should be down for whatever and shouldn't be allowed to have standards or that we're abnormal for having standards or that we're being unreasonable and making a big deal out of some, you know, a minor, quote unquote, minor thing that like hair.
Evolutionary Psychology: Justifying Attractiveness Norms?
00:33:31
Speaker
It just puts, it creates a power dynamic where, you know, women are not in a position to be choosers, where we're always the ones who are being chosen, you know?
00:33:41
Speaker
It takes away our power.
00:33:43
Speaker
So I googled, why are so many villains bald?
00:33:48
Speaker
And it says, in fiction, baldness often equates to the lack of moral fortitude.
00:33:54
Speaker
Many, many villains are recognized as such by their audience, by their shiny, shaven noggins.
00:34:00
Speaker
And then it goes on to say, as a matter of fact, in ancient Rome, baldness was considered a gross deformity.
00:34:06
Speaker
like so wow wow i mean those italian guys they you know tend to have a full head of hair so i can see why that that would be seen as italian men have great hair yeah they have great hair my man is italian by the way just flexing but anyways um and he's got hair anyways um
00:34:29
Speaker
So, yeah, besides look at Jason Statham, he's on the short side of the height spectrum, and he's bald, but he's one of the sexiest dudes in Hollywood.
00:34:36
Speaker
Just look how badass he is.
00:34:38
Speaker
First of all, he's 5'10", so it's not short.
00:34:40
Speaker
I mean, that's okay, right?
00:34:42
Speaker
Yeah, that's about above average height for a man.
00:34:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:34:46
Speaker
So, like, yeah, I date a guy who's 5'10", I don't see that as a flaw.
00:34:50
Speaker
But again, keep in mind, again, this is another example of the...
00:34:54
Speaker
ego stroking that men's magazines do for men of like, oh yeah, height doesn't matter.
00:35:00
Speaker
Uh, baldness doesn't matter.
00:35:01
Speaker
Look at this sort of short guy or, you know, bald guy.
00:35:05
Speaker
Look how sexy he is.
00:35:06
Speaker
Look how badass he is.
00:35:07
Speaker
You know, you can be like that guy kind of thing, right?
00:35:09
Speaker
All these guys reading this article are thinking they look like Jason Statham and it's like, no, you fucking don't.
00:35:14
Speaker
Okay.
00:35:16
Speaker
And he's dating Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
00:35:18
Speaker
What a guy.
00:35:19
Speaker
It could be speculated that although the characteristic of baldness decreases a man's perceived physical attractiveness, it increases his perceived social dominance.
00:35:28
Speaker
What?
00:35:29
Speaker
Yeah, I guess because, like...
00:35:31
Speaker
The testosterone is associated with dominance and stuff, right?
00:35:36
Speaker
But again, to me, dominance isn't automatically a good trade in men.
00:35:39
Speaker
In fact, if a guy is too domineering, it actually is a turnoff for me.
00:35:43
Speaker
Yeah, and a lot of primate species are like that.
00:35:47
Speaker
There's some primate species that are sociopathic where the dominance thing...
00:35:52
Speaker
I wouldn't say the females like it, but they don't have as much of a choice.
00:35:55
Speaker
Like chimpanzees are like murderous little bastards.
00:35:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:35:57
Speaker
And they use like a lot of intimidation and violence to like basically get the female population to check.
00:36:03
Speaker
And then there's other primates like apes where... Or bonobos.
00:36:07
Speaker
The pro-social behaviors, yeah, are way, way, way more rewarded.
00:36:11
Speaker
So they're not nearly as violent or into the dominance hierarchy.
00:36:15
Speaker
It exists, but it's not as like rigid as...
00:36:18
Speaker
some other species.
00:36:19
Speaker
So they're adaptable.
00:36:21
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:36:21
Speaker
Like, again, men idealize dominance.
00:36:24
Speaker
They look at dominant men.
00:36:26
Speaker
They'll even, like, celebrate straight up, like, incel, like, mass murderers and shit, right?
00:36:30
Speaker
Men idealize dominance.
00:36:34
Speaker
Because they, because it benefits them, first of all, for them to be dominant, right?
00:36:38
Speaker
They want to perpetuate, again, power is self-perpetuating.
00:36:40
Speaker
They want to perpetuate the power that they have, that that dominance gives them.
00:36:45
Speaker
And I think we need, we as women need to stop rewarding that shit, okay?
00:36:48
Speaker
Like, I mean, if a guy's being really domineering with me, it's like, ugh, like, get away from me, you little fucking screw.
00:36:53
Speaker
Like, anyways, yeah.
00:36:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:56
Speaker
Stop rewarding sociopathic behavior in men, ladies.
00:36:58
Speaker
Anyways.
00:36:59
Speaker
Studies have shown baldness in men is seen as a non-threatening form of social dominance.
00:37:06
Speaker
Like, according to who, right?
00:37:08
Speaker
Anyways, there's a large body of literature that shows that although women like physically attractive men, they are also very attractive to signs of high social dominance.
Patriarchal Narratives: Shaping Gender Roles
00:37:18
Speaker
I don't see how being bald makes you socially dominant.
00:37:21
Speaker
And also, what's with his, why is he saying a non-threatening form of social dominance?
00:37:25
Speaker
Like, we literally just talked about how bald guys and villainy is associated with each other, right?
00:37:30
Speaker
Like, why is he saying, like, where is he getting that idea of a non-threatening?
00:37:33
Speaker
That just seems like it's his, that's his own narrative that he's pushing in there.
00:37:36
Speaker
There's no, like, link to some study, so we're guessing here.
00:37:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:41
Speaker
Like, he's not linking any studies to just, like, again, this is just shit that men say.
00:37:47
Speaker
Right?
00:37:48
Speaker
We don't have to believe them, right?
00:37:50
Speaker
Understand that all communication is persuasion.
00:37:53
Speaker
All communication is an attempt to persuade, right?
00:37:57
Speaker
And I'm looking at this and thinking, okay, he has an agenda, right?
00:38:01
Speaker
And so you don't have to believe the things that they say.
00:38:04
Speaker
consequently it could now be explained how the characteristic was passed on my speculation is that as humans evolved and the group became increasingly important for survival males played a more integral role in the family group and it may have been adaptive to evolve a morphological sign of this dominance related role and one that made the adult males appear less threatening and more approachable to facilitate interactions with them no what the fuck
00:38:29
Speaker
It's really weird.
00:38:30
Speaker
That's the stupidest conclusion.
00:38:33
Speaker
Where is he getting that?
00:38:34
Speaker
That's completely insane.
00:38:35
Speaker
Like, what I said earlier is much more plausible, which is that, yeah, women like hair on men, and they reproduce, you know, they don't lose their hair until they're past the age of reproduction, and so...
00:38:46
Speaker
Once they've already had kids, they've passed on those genes, it's too late.
00:38:50
Speaker
And because of that, it's just not something that's been selected against.
00:38:53
Speaker
That's a much, much more plausible explanation than this thing of like, oh, humans evolved to be bald so that it could show women that they're dominant, but more approachable.
00:39:04
Speaker
Yeah, evo-psych is just one big psyop to get us to accept patriarchy as some kind of scientific fact.
00:39:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:11
Speaker
Right, or various... Patriarchal narratives, yeah.
00:39:13
Speaker
Various aspects of men.
00:39:15
Speaker
Yeah, or men's sexual preferences as fact, but women's is malleable.
00:39:20
Speaker
Yeah, I have this problem that, yeah, men's sexual preferences are inherently biological and women's are not.
00:39:28
Speaker
Right?
00:39:28
Speaker
Like, or that women's are, like, irrational or something.
00:39:30
Speaker
Final paragraph.
00:39:32
Speaker
Well, damn, that's what I like to hear.
Raising the Bar: Male Grooming Standards
00:39:35
Speaker
Of fucking course, that's the whole reason why you wrote this article is because it's what you want to hear.
00:39:40
Speaker
Anyways, that said, if you're struggling with the psychological trauma of hair loss, just remind yourself, would you rather be a pretty boy with the head of hair, or would you rather be a highly...
00:39:50
Speaker
Sorry.
00:39:52
Speaker
Or would you rather be a highly intelligent, sexy, dominant, goddamn boss who everyone respects?
00:39:58
Speaker
I think the answer is clear.
00:40:00
Speaker
So this is body positivity for men.
00:40:02
Speaker
I want to actually share this article on Twitter and be like, we're tired of this body positivity propaganda for men.
00:40:09
Speaker
This is what this is.
00:40:12
Speaker
Like, this Maxim magazine, I mean, I haven't seen, but I'm sure they probably have articles about, like, you know, why it's biological that men like thin women or something like that, right?
00:40:20
Speaker
Like, again, why...
00:40:22
Speaker
you know, men are so fucking hostile to women's body positivity, right?
00:40:28
Speaker
Like they see women like just existing and not hating their own bodies.
00:40:31
Speaker
And they see that as like a personal attack, but you know, or, you know, they see an overweight woman, you know, posted, you know, in a bikini on the beach or something on Instagram.
00:40:41
Speaker
And they see that as like a political statement, like, Oh, you're trying to normalize obesity or, Oh, you're trying to do this or that.
00:40:47
Speaker
And it's like,
00:40:48
Speaker
no you fucking asshole like women just want to exist in our own bodies without judgment meanwhile these guys are very much into you know their own sort of body positivity thing and i think we need to match the energy and give them the taste of their own medicine i'm all about matching energy here yeah
00:41:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:05
Speaker
And again, this last paragraph just shows that this whole article is Cope, right?
00:41:09
Speaker
He even literally says, like, that's what I like to hear, right?
00:41:13
Speaker
Men's media is just men telling themselves what they want to hear and then pretending like that's fact.
00:41:17
Speaker
Yeah, it's so bizarre.
00:41:19
Speaker
When you're listening to all these, like, Manosphere people that get up on there with their stupid ass...
00:41:24
Speaker
scientific facts about how women depreciate and value etc remember it's just their opinion and they're just like trying to use it to manipulate you to make them have more sexual advantage it's not it's by no means fact and they ignore shit they completely ignore shit like this by the way like this massive amount of cope yeah about like the entire baldness thing and like how that's going to make you look really aged like your desired age group is going to look at your balding scalp and be like no
00:41:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:49
Speaker
Like nine times out of 10.
00:41:50
Speaker
And that's just the way that is.
00:41:52
Speaker
They're going to prefer teen girls are mostly fantasizing over like boy bands and shit.
00:41:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:57
Speaker
And in this last article, it's like, would you rather be a pretty boy with a head of hair?
00:42:00
Speaker
Would you rather be a highly intelligent, sexy, dominant goddamn boss who everyone respects?
00:42:05
Speaker
If you look at what young women like, most of them like pretty boys with hair.
00:42:09
Speaker
It's also that false dichotomy that men do.
00:42:12
Speaker
Like, you can't have a guy you're attracted to who meets your physical standards and is nice to you.
00:42:18
Speaker
It's either he has all that, but he's an asshole, or he doesn't have that, but he's a saint.
00:42:24
Speaker
It's complete nonsense.
00:42:25
Speaker
You can have it all, ladies.
00:42:27
Speaker
You can have a guy you are genuinely attracted to who meets your physical standards and who treats you well.
00:42:33
Speaker
It's not an either-or thing.
00:42:35
Speaker
Yeah, let's be clear.
00:42:36
Speaker
Like, Rob, I think nine times out of ten, people are going to pick, like,
00:42:40
Speaker
prime Johnny Depp Rob Lowe Brad Pitt over Jason Statham not not to shit on Jason Statham because he's attractive in his own right but when you think about Hollywood sex symbols those are always the guys that came up right yeah and they're like very handsome full head of hair boyish good looks
00:42:58
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:42:59
Speaker
Like, youth and fertility is an attractive trait in men as well as being attractive in women, right?
00:43:04
Speaker
Like, and I find it so funny how, you know, men, you know, incels especially, accuse FDS or feminism of being cope, quote-unquote cope, when I find that this whole, you know, it's such a projection, right?
00:43:18
Speaker
Like, men have all these narratives as cope, right?
00:43:21
Speaker
And with us, it's not cope, it's just facts, right?
00:43:25
Speaker
Right.
00:43:25
Speaker
I mean, you can even grow into your looks more.
00:43:27
Speaker
What was it like Robert Pattinson?
00:43:28
Speaker
And then the other guy from, um, the guy from like the high school musical.
00:43:33
Speaker
Yeah, Zac Efron, right?
00:43:35
Speaker
So those guys, all those guys started as young actors and they were really cute and they had a really big girl following.
00:43:42
Speaker
And the reason they're still around is because women find them attractive, right?
00:43:46
Speaker
And they're still attractive.
00:43:48
Speaker
Jason Statham's like an action hero, but that's kind of his niche.
00:43:52
Speaker
He's been typecasted, yeah.
00:43:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:54
Speaker
He's not necessarily like, oh, Hollywood sex symbol in the same way these other guys are.
00:43:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:00
Speaker
And as Savannah said, like, this is a false dichotomy.
00:44:05
Speaker
You know, we talk in female political strategy, how men use these sort of false binaries, like the Madonna whore complex and so on to sort of pigeonhole women and to force them to make trade-offs.
00:44:15
Speaker
And the reality of the situation is women want a guy who is attractive, socially competent, intelligent, and sexy and respectable.
00:44:24
Speaker
Like we want all of the above.
00:44:25
Speaker
This isn't, you know, an either or situation.
00:44:29
Speaker
This is a, you know, women look at attraction more holistically than men.
00:44:34
Speaker
So this entire article is cope.
00:44:35
Speaker
We're mad at it.
00:44:37
Speaker
This entire article is cope.
00:44:38
Speaker
It's wrong.
00:44:39
Speaker
Women like hot guys.
00:44:40
Speaker
Women like hair.
00:44:41
Speaker
Die mad baldies.
00:44:42
Speaker
Die bad.
00:44:42
Speaker
I'm tired of seeing your scalp shouting in the sun.
00:44:45
Speaker
Rub some coconut oil.
00:44:46
Speaker
We're just here pointing out all the lies.
00:44:48
Speaker
Rub some coconut oil on the medges and get Rogaine.
00:44:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:53
Speaker
Rogaine get some hair transplant surgery okay like you know women you know men complain oh but hair transplant surgery is so expensive that's like 10 to 20 thousand dollars and it's like first of all you can go to Turkey and get it for like two thousand dollars first of all secondly and you can have a nice vacation in Turkey uh second of all um women over the course of our lifetimes probably spend at least ten thousand dollars on our hair
00:45:17
Speaker
like minimum, if you add up all the costs, you know, of like cutting your hair, shampoo, products, styling tools, and so on, that definitely adds up to probably over $10,000, right?
00:45:28
Speaker
And so, Scroat, get on our level, okay?
00:45:30
Speaker
Like, you know, instead of lowering the bar for women, we should raise the bar for men.
00:45:35
Speaker
There we go.
00:45:36
Speaker
Meanest female-only podcast on the internet.
00:45:39
Speaker
Die mad, yeah.
00:45:40
Speaker
Die mad.
00:45:41
Speaker
Bye.
