<p>Do men even care?? Do dating sites even work? I just don't believe they do and don't believe dating sites work. All I get is men asking me for sex and just looking for sex along with them just wanting money from me. I don't get anything else. Just makes me feel alone, unwanted, that I will die alone and so much more. Like having this disease just makes me feel like no one cares. People may say I'm beautiful but honestly I don't by it or believe it either. It sucks. </p>

<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I am Rita and I suffer from androgenetic alopecia, so overall thinning of the hair.</p>
<p>I am still losing hair as we speak gradually, some patches under as well. I have been battling this for almost 10 years and it gotten worst in the last few years. I wear a half wig now and I am able to mask it well as I am still not yet ready to talk about it in the open ( only a few close friends know about this .)</p>

<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I am Rita and I suffer from androgenetic alopecia, so overall thinning of the hair.</p>
<p>I am still losing hair as we speak gradually, some patches under as well. I have been battling this for almost 10 years and it gotten worst in the last few years. I wear a half wig now and I am able to mask it well as I am still not yet ready to talk about it in the open ( only a few close friends know about this .)</p>
<p></p>
<p>To cut the story short, I met someone on a dating app. He lives in another country and immediately it clicked that this would not be a serious relationship. I wasn't looking for a serious relationship either but was just looking to explore. Our first date went really well and he wanted to go back with me- right after the long evening - but I was not comfortable so I said no. </p>
<p></p>
<p>He continued to keep in touch later and I then thought well life is short, so why not call him over to mine?When I finally did. i immediately panicked as he had no idea that i wear a half wig, it was also broad day light and I was afraid he would be able figure it out. I tried to talk to him for a bit to ease my nerves down and by the time when I felt more or less ready + when i told myself not to think so much. He looked right at me and said sorry this isn't happening because I have to go off to tennis in 40 mins.</p>
<p></p>
<p>He told me this -You are not a woman, you are an 18 year old girl who is just playing games with me. If you are just calling over for tea, you should be direct. I thought I was coming over for sex. He proceeds on to tell me how he is a learning lesson in my life and I should know how dating apps work. </p>
<p>I told him then I needed time to unwind, I can't just get into things right away. He was like nope, I don't ever want to see you again. He went on to un match me the next day.</p>
<p>It is after awhile I have decided to go out and have fun, I don't really know how to navigate around this. I in the end I did not even know what to reply him to his face, I was so embarrassed. I already feel less of a woman as I am still coping with this condition and even though I hardly even know this guy ( the words hit me hard ). I was just looking for any advice, how do you navigate around with this condition if you don't want to share too much info about your hair loss as I feel the moment I open about my condition it is really expressing my vulnerability, the fear of rejection also comes about. </p>
<p>I am sorry if I sound shallow but I was just really looking for advice.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks.</p> For all you ladies who have become fearful of dating since losing your hair, please take a moment and watch my video. Thanks and be well.!tag:alopeciaworld.com,2019-09-05:2022678:Topic:15281642019-09-05T22:59:13.159ZJackiehttps://alopeciaworld.com/profile/Jackie352

<p>Hello!</p>
<p>My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 7 months now and I am still struggling with telling him about my alopecia (I know, it's been quite a while). </p>
<p>With hair products I can hide my condition pretty well, and it's almost unnoticeable. </p>
<p>Over the past year I've noticed it progressing at a relatively faster pace and recently it's become harder and harder to deal with and come to terms with it - which is something that I've hoped to do before telling him. I have told him I have a medical condition and he knows it has something to do with my hair - he's asked me a few weeks ago whether I will ever talk about it - and I can see that he just wants me to be open about it with him. </p>
<p>He's genuinely one the most caring and nonjudgmental people I've ever met, but it's my own insecurity and anxiety holding me back. I can't seem to get past the idea that he deserves better and more, someone who is "normal" in terms of this.</p>
<p>Some days I look at myself in the mirror and don't notice anything of issue and I feel almost normal - almost like I can definitely tell him because at that moment, looking at myself, everything seems fine and unnoticeable. But then I see myself with wet hair, no products in, and the difference is striking and again I clam up. </p>
<p>I want to be comfortable with and accept myself before letting him in on my androgenetic alopecia. Logically however, I can see and understand that that is a longer trek than I originally expected and telling him will have to come first.</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to manage this, how I can begin to have this conversation with him and make sure that he's comfortable talking about this. All of your help is greatly appreciated! </p>
<p>Thank you so much :)) </p> Newly single and struggling with alopeciatag:alopeciaworld.com,2019-05-27:2022678:Topic:14772482019-05-27T03:08:08.335ZROAsmomhttps://alopeciaworld.com/profile/ROAsmom

I wear wigs to work and out in public. My daughters father and I have split up about a month ago and im struggling to feel good about certain aspects of my life.

Leaving me alone and sad about that. I want to be happy too, and i want my daughter to see me happy (with or without anyone) i am too embarassed to not wear my wig but im too embarassed to go out with even my friends, wearing my wig. I had PPD as well and am currently working on my stress as well. I want my daughter to have a happy mom. I am just looking for anyone who can relate or who can be somewhat understanding because i dont really have anyone to talk to about this</p> Rejected by girls in Indiatag:alopeciaworld.com,2019-04-05:2022678:Topic:14612772019-04-05T16:13:35.928Znotsufferinghttps://alopeciaworld.com/profile/notsuffering

<p>I am here for a friend. Here is the thing he lives in India and he has alopecia universalis. But because of that no girl wants to marry him. He is now 33 and still not married. He is a bit shy to come here himself but I hope to get some friendly replies and introduce him here.

Of course I always tell him that he will meet someone but he has difficult time believing me. So what to do? </p>

I cant keep it up much longer because he knows I am an active person. When is a good time to tell him about my hair loss? I dont want to say anything unnecessarily just in case our relationship does not take off. But it feels deceptive to not tell him and then we start dating. Any suggestions?</p>
