Damn bro. Life ain't over because your hairline went bad

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I mean, it's just hair. We're certainly not vain and superficial enough to let that "ruin our lives", right?

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have a widows peak and I get mad compliments on my hair. It's only over when it's over, buddy.

[–] Scrath@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't know what a widows peak was so I googled it and figured out that's just what you call that type of hairline in english.

Personally I really like the german word for it which is "Geheimratsecken". It literally translates to "secret council corners".

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Germans have the best words.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

entire industries exist simply because of it. lol

Nothing wrong with a little male pattern baldness. Disrespectfully OP, you are wrong.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I can’t go bald if I shave my head every morning

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

The secret to immortality right there

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I do it every other day with an electric and it take about 10 min... If I forget then it takes about an hour because its to long for the electric.

Estrogen is the answer to this problem :3

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm ugly with hair, losing it won't make me that much uglier.

I started taking pills for it a few years ago. It was ridiculously easy to do. I did it online, it auto-renews, and it's an easy chewable I take every morning.

I think a lot of guys have the impression that hair treatments are bullshit, because for a while there they were. But the new shit works, at least for me.

No side effects or downsides for me. My hairline is just paused, even rewound a little bit.

This the stuff where 2% of users lose their boners, then 2% of that 2% don't get them back once they stop taking it? Nah I'll take the chrome dome.

[–] compostgoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Which med is that?

Everyone’s risk tolerance is different, but a 99.96% chance that I would not experience irreversible side effects feels like pretty good odds

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Do you think maybe there's some kind of demographical overlap between people who take hair pills and people who were going to lose their boners anyway?

When I see people complaining about losing their hair to male pattern baldness I'm thinking "just take finasteride" or "why don't you just take finasteride" or "just block the DHT this isn't some inevitable thing and that'd probably help so why don't you just do that?" But I'm not a testosterone enjoyer so I lack their perspective on things

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's not that simple for some men, but for some other men it's exactly that simple. I'm sure I'm a little lucky, but it was such an easy decision for me with no downside.

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have you noticed a loss on libido? My understanding is that those pills reduce testosterone, which can reduce libido and everything else t does for men.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Definitely not. My libido is as high as it ever was (which is fairly high).

At some point in their life most men have to make the greatest decision in their life... Keep their hair or keep their erection. I've started shaving my head!

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)
[–] Superdooper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

There's a certain drug that prevents baldness but reduces your testosterone

[–] Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

He couldn't get his dick up while looking in the mirror I guess.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Male pattern baldness has something to do with testosterone I think? Like, ppl w/ more testosterone tend to lose more hair or summat

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

My genetics 🧬 are making sure 👍 that I won’t get bald

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man, my only regret about shaving my head was that I didn’t do it 15 years sooner!

Top-shelf zaza disrupted my circadian rhythm!

Got any more of those Sequoia banshee boogers?

[–] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

I've had a pretty intense widows peak since teenagerdom and have also gotten regular compliments on my hair since teenagerdom. Coincidence? I think not!

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

Patrick stewart would like a word with you...

[–] VoxAliorum@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago
[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 1 month ago

i passed that point at like 22.

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I shaved my head clean, I'm pretty luckly I've got a great head shape for a bicked head. Unfortunately I did it just to see and I have a really full head of hair at 42. I'll never get to share my beautiful bald head with the world.

[–] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are a couple of good hairstyles that benefit from a little balding, if it gets to much just go full bald. Its just superficial in the end anyways.

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

Instructions unclear, I went kobold

[–] lordapophis@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Like what? Life is good if you don't give a damn what people say and Just play with your legos.
