I was working a stressful job when most of my hairloss occurred. Jumped on fin after it finished, and now I had a HT and am on Dutasteride, and I probably won't think about my hair ever again.

What's funny... I have had my hair shaved since the HT a month ago, and although people in general definitely treat me differently with a shaved head(more intimidating I think), I have actually had more sex in the last month than I had for like 6 months before. And not a single person other than a barber who cut my hair 10 days after has even noticed that I had a hair transplant.

Maybe it's just that I'm more confident that I the procedure is finished, and that I know my hair will be back to perfect within another few months, and I have that confidence.

Funny to stumble on this thread today, yesterday I made the decision to stop finasteride/minoxidil and accept the hairloss.

I've been on finasteride for 5 years, and unfortunately I'm one of those sensitive to the side effects. Depression, loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, lethargic, brain fog, low energy, low productivity, lack of motivation, unable to get out of bed in the morning, lack of care about life, loss of strength at the gym.

But hey, at least I had my hair! Right?

F*ck that. Health is way more important than trying to save my hairline. I buzzed my head short yesterday, and it doesn't look that bad. I think the bad side effects of finasteride have helped me accept that the only way out of this misery is to go bald. And that, OP, having seen the dark side of the coin, is how I'm coping with it. It was a very hard decision, but I'm glad I took it.

Today I watched this video, and it helped me confirm that I made the right choice.



OP, you could try the finasteride/minoxidil/nizoral route, hopefully it works for you, it's an amazingly effective cocktail. But if you feel the slightest side effect, GTFO and don't look back srs.

I chemically castrate myself.






Jlmao. Yall ever been outside and see the kind of ugly ass mfs these hot sloots are dating? Most girls seriously don't give a flying fuk. Just be clean, don't be a slob and have some personality. Maybe a sweet beard too and you're fine. Balding is only bad when it affects you and makes you insecure. It's the insecurity that ruins your chances with women not the actual hair loss you dumb kunts.

A buzz looks better than a receeding/grey hairline tbh

Srs

Getting laid is the only reason anyone gets depressed about it. And if you cant get paid bald, you wont with hair either.

If you just dont like the way you look, get a toupee, those things are amazing now.

This

Luckily I started early with fin, minoxidil, nizoral, and biotin orelse i would had to just shave it all off

[DrewDarden]

Never bothered me srs.

There is always a way.

If something is causing you trouble in life. Fix it. Accepting things is a losers mentality.

I was going bald, it made me depressed so I did my research and hopped on an aggressive hair loss treatment regime. Problem solved, depression gone. Simple.

[maori-rap]

Just give yourself a buzzcut and quit bitching about what you cannot change. Just be bald in style, like Joe Rogan, Vin Diesel, Tyson Fury, Stone Cold Steve Austen, Dwayne Johnson.

Better to just be totally bald than have something like this going on

Lol, you got a giant tattoo on your scalp. I don't think the depression is gone....

[volleys]

There is a relatively easy cure for baldness, the problem is that PERMANENT IMPOTENCE is a very common side effect.
If someone uses Propecia, Rogaine, Microneedling, and Laser Helmets. The will cure their baldness.
The problem is that Propecia often leads to irreversible impotence and Propecia is the most effective of all 4 treatments for baldness I mentioned.

Laser helmets are a scam, and permanent impotence is a mental condition likely stemming from PIED/lack of confidence in the first place.

I would argue that going depressed from some hair thinning is a loser's mentality. You only see this kind of behavior in America today. You think high test Asiabrahs who have to work extremely hard for their families spend time crying and constantly asking friends to rate their hairline? What about your high test forefathers who had important chit to do. You calling out people who accept it as a normal part of aging is your coping mechanism.



It's generally accepted that the people who accept and make peace with their flaws as human beings are most mentally stable

No man a winners mentality is seeing your ideal self and doing everything you can to become that person. If that person is bald, more power to you - It's a completely personal choice. My ideal self isn't a bald brah. More important chit to do? It takes me 3 mins every morning to keep my hair lol Before you say anything about side effects - I haven't experienced any.

I find it extremely difficult to picture a winner being someone who worries about his hairloss literally 6 times per day as a winner. If you spend all that time every single day stressing about 5 fibers losing 1.3% thickness then I just can't see that as being a winner.

Because as much as you try to downplay how much this affects your life: "oh just 3 mins per day bro and I never think about it again" I know hair recovery has become a major part of your mental process. No matter how great your hair looks, as long as it doesn't measure up to that ideal image in your head, it will always keep you stressed and insecure.

The winner in my book is the brah who accepted it and let aging take its natural course or the other brah who shaved it and moved on with his life after that day. Neither of those dudes spend time worrying about their hair on a daily basis.

[Godfrd824]

I'm going bald, have been for about 2 years now. Not really bad enough to have to shave my head, but I'm just gonna buzz it all off today.

I don't really care what anyone thinks. Never have. I suggest you do the same.

[Coal Man]

i kinda agree and disagree here
personally i dont think it's a bad thing try to looksmax and save when you can, if it costs him 3 mins to be happy with it then so be it lol

but i agree, being bald is much better than balding SRS (bald since 21 crew) it's essentially a worry i dont have anymore, at first i was pretty sad about it but im over it now
however, people that are "balding" are not over it and that sucks srs

You read my post bro? The problem is that in Brad's case it isn't just 3 mins per day. It takes 3 mins to pop the pills, then he spends the next 24 hours worried about losing hair and stressed that the image he sees in the mirror doesn't match up to what he has in his head.

The problem is that aging happens for everyone. It's a part of life. What happens when other parts of the body break down, you gonna spend countless hours stressing over that too?

Just be clean, present yourself well and have an outgoing personality and that's all you need to gain the respect of others if you care about that so much. Being a man is far more than looks. Let the ladies worry about that, I've seen far too many of the hottest chicks get with the ugliest looking dudes to ever worry about my looks again.
