Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I don’t really get it. The only reason it makes a good insult is because it’s a source of insecurity, likely because to lose your hair is the first sign of your own mortality. Or maybe it’s as simple as it being something you cannot control.

Anyways, I’m not bald and think it’s a weak insult.

Cheerio.

It's an insult to give someone if you don't like them

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Okay but why’s it an insult?

Females I sorta get. Hair is like their mane. And maybe that’s where it lies: hair is considered attractive, like having a nice ass. Perhaps the source of the insecurity, if there use any, is fear over losing ones looks. How you look is part of your concept of self and for people who believe they’re attractive, the attention you get really for being hot really does affect your concept of self even if you don’t want to admit it.

Insulting someone over being bald, then, is obviously malicious but I wonder if there isn’t a lot of projection behind the insult. Like, the person making the attack knows that they’d feel lesser if they were bald.

I can’t believe this is how I’m spending me Saturday. And I’m not even bald.

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I doubt if anyone likes it when their hair falls out

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Yes but why is it upsetting? Why, damnit !

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Because we like having hair, not having it is upsetting because of how it looks

suck it.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I'm not bald, but that's irrelevant.
And why it's used as an insult is irrelevant.
The real issue or question regarding baldness
is, "Why was hungry's dojo thread deleted?" All he did was call Kirk a "fat bald pussy and a coward". This is no cause for deletion on the Dojo. In fact, nothing is.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Game boy and hungry have a rivalry and that’s why it got deleted.

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Oh. 👍

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Gameboy commented previously that he’s bald and shaves his head. He’s another baldo.

Hep: "I'll post a topless picture if you do the same ;)"

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Gameboy is incredibly gay.

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

he's bald and he shaves his head? he's incredibly stupid.

What happened to the American Dream? It came true! You're lookin' at it…

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?



Allow me to clarify: he’s got a big, mongo bald head that occasionally sees some follicular growth, which he shaves off.

Hep: "I'll post a topless picture if you do the same ;)"

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Maybe he just keeps it shaven because he's into aryan prison lifestyle.


Springheel Jack also claims to be bald because he likes to keep his shaven, not because he's actually bald.

But the photographic proof shows he has a bald ring like Friar Tuck when he doesn't maintain it…

What happened to the American Dream? It came true! You're lookin' at it…

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Jack is definitely a proper baldo.

Hep: "I'll post a topless picture if you do the same ;)"

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

He should just wear a beret. Or doesn't he already do that?

What happened to the American Dream? It came true! You're lookin' at it…

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

he's jealous of my (sometimes) long (sometimes) blonde hair.

When he had hair it was black and bristly like an african.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Notice how you and I both added the qualifiers, “I am not bald.” lol

Sup wit dat?

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I'm a hot guy, just like Erica's a hot dame. 🔥
We're so obviously hot, no proof is necessary.
I thought it was obvious.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?…

I WONDER if AnthonyRocks is BALD?!?! Rocks makes it seem like he COULD BE!

"THAT'S SOME BAD SHIT, HARRY!".

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?…

He is.

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?…

I THOUGHT so!

"THAT'S SOME BAD SHIT, HARRY!".

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Preach!

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I got generally thin hair on top of my head ,sometimes it grows in more and looks a little fuller when it’s darker.

Melting down over top boy

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I have very fine hair but barbers always tell me I have a lot of it.

When it gets wet, because it’s fine, sometimes it shows a lot of scalp and I always find it funny. I think I’d look terrible bald

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I know some people shave their heads when they start losing their hair (because they don't want to watch themselves slowly go bald, I guess). But why would someone with plentiful hair keep shaving it bald?

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Some people look better bald. Vin diesel, the rock

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I don't know if I've ever thought bald looked better than hair. I prefer a nice head of hair.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Yea I mean women probably do think differently than men so in truth, idk

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Any insecurity can be used as an insult. That said, I don’t think it means much to people who prefer to be bald or have accepted it lol

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

It's like insulting someone for being old, or short. Stuff that is out of people's control. I don't think I've ever insulted someone for being bald, maybe I fear karma. I do notice people that do use it as an insult have really thick hair where they never have to worry about going bald one day. this is a rare case where white men have it worse than any other race because black guys, Latino guys, and Asian guys all look good bald. If you're a white guy you need to be muscular with a thick neck to pull off the bald look.

The crown is mine! 👑

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Because Uncle Jesse is the beauty standard of all men: he had a full head of thick hair, was picky about his hair being touched, had one barber he had on speed-dial, kept his combs behind a sealed glass case: a rock star who got the ladies.

Calling someone bald is removing them from Uncle Jesse, ie, you are not and will never be John Stamos but you are more like George Constanza, an introverted socially inept geek whose bad with the ladies.

Monster, how should I feel? Creatures lie here, looking through the window.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

introverted socially inept geek
Isn’t that exactly what you are ?

Ivey league bastard.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I think this makes sense.

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Great, more propaganda from the hair-challenged community.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I’m not bald, corwin. The bald community will never accept me as one of their own. Let’s get that straight. It matters a great deal that nobody think of me as bald, for some reason I cannot explain.

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Listen, be proud of who you are, no matter what your disability. Let your non-hair free and flow in the wind for all not to see.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Fuck you, corwin. I won’t even capitalize the “C,” you cock!

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I can't wait until you guys fully accept cancel culture - it's inevitable - and we see the beautiful coiffures of Fabio, Stamos, Clooney on the Facts of Life, Pierce Brosnan, Boris Johnson, all CGI'd bald just so feelings aren't hurt.

RESIST.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I will admit, we may be on the way there. Biden looks pretty bald from certain angles.

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

When you're looking up at him while blowing him you mean?

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

I guess that’s clever. If you were 13

Cheerio.

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Ouch!

You really got me there!

You're obviously way out of my league. What was i thinking?

Carry on…

Re: Why is “bald” considered an insult?

Agreed.

Cheerio.
