I mean, it's just hair. We're certainly not vain and superficial enough to let that "ruin our lives", right?
I have a widows peak and I get mad compliments on my hair. It's only over when it's over, buddy.
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".
Germans have the best words.
entire industries exist simply because of it. lol
The Vegeta hairline hit me at 25 so I just buzzed it all off... I never lived life at all lol
look up pp405
those new research chemicals for hair loss pop up every year with lofty promises, and always end up being nothingburgers when the results come in.
if you care about it, try the treatments already available. they seem to help most people.
Nothing wrong with a little male pattern baldness. Disrespectfully OP, you are wrong.
I can’t go bald if I shave my head every morning
The secret to immortality right there
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.
Every morning? What do you use?
I dont actually
Estrogen is the answer to this problem :3
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.
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
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
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.

Ok, but I'm not lying.
Do you think I'm advertising or something? What would be my motivation for lying?
I don't know anything about you or these pills but typically one would tell a "lie" like that as part of their overall campaign to cope. The point isn't to deceive others but to bulwark a worldview that emotionally benefits the person to hold in some way (ie, "I was smart to take these pills, wasn't taken advantage of at all")
Ok, well, no need for me to cope with anything. I'm not being taken advantage of. It's been working for six years.

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.
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!
Please explain
There's a certain drug that prevents baldness but reduces your testosterone
He couldn't get his dick up while looking in the mirror I guess.
Male pattern baldness has something to do with testosterone I think? Like, ppl w/ more testosterone tend to lose more hair or summat
My genetics 🧬 are making sure 👍 that I won’t get bald
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?
Patrick stewart would like a word with you...
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!
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.

Strelok?!
Like what? Life is good if you don't give a damn what people say and Just play with your legos.
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.
i passed that point at like 22.
