Hey man. Good to see you're getting positive support and hopefully a new perspective. I'm sure every single one of us have been where you are at some point, whether it be about our hair or any other number of things that can make us insecure in this world - so you're definitely not alone. (And for what it's worth, I bet even you're "physically perfect" friend has these moments too where he feels crappy and insecure.)
May I play devil's advocate and be blunt for a moment? (And if this is totally off base, just ignore this - but I promise my intentions are good). I noticed in your original post two things that stood out to me when explaining your insecurities. One was that you have no problem talking to "attractive" women... And the other stemmed from a conversation you had with a "younger" girl. The only reason I bring this up is because I wonder if there's a part of you that is getting in your own way when it comes to finding love and happiness. This is extremely common, and something we're all capable of doing if we're not aware of it. Because here's the thing - the way you describe yourself otherwise (fit, sharp, youthful) tells me that you would be a good catch for someone. I know tons of guys who are overweight and bald and rude and THEY have significant others... Or guys that aren't that smart that have significant others.... My point is that there's someone/many people out there for every single one of us. This is a big world with lots of fish in the sea. And I may be wrong, but I wonder if a part of you is too focused on the young and pretty girls that you end up being judgmental to the girls who are "older and less attractive", just like you say the young and pretty ones are to you. I wonder if there's just a little bit of truth in that (and it's totally natural if there is - wouldn't make you a bad guy, just a normal one). This is in no way to say that you're a judgmental asshole, but it is something we all have to be aware of. What if there's a great girl out there for you that you're completely writing off because she's not attractive enough? Wouldn't you then be doing the same thing to them that you're accusing these younger, attractive girls of doing?
Who knows - you may be going after these "older, less attractive" girls and getting rejected as well - in which case, disregard everything I said. But based on the information you gave, it may be something worth looking into. And you may be the only one standing in the way of you and your next big love affair.

Seems like you are saying you are confident but in reality you have doubts which contribute to low self-esteem. There are so many procedures you can try today and the best thing to do is talk to your doctor for now to give you proper advises on which kind of procedure is just right for you in the future.Comment

Hi Borntosoon. I see I'm quite late to this party. I signed up to this forum myself only 30 minutes ago and wanted to start a topic, but yours caught my attention and I've read every comment in detail. I find your post very entriguing. You made an interesting point about confidence and personality and I believe you have both. Both shine through in your post, you seem like a funny guy. I believe there is a common misconception that not liking something about yourself means you have no confidence. I can honestly say I have never had any problems with attracting girls or achieving my work goals, but I hated my hairline and wanted to do something about it. My point is that while it is probably all in your head that the girl was checking out your hair - your paranoia is not likely to go away until you are feeling right/good about it. There are some great people on here commenting, offering support and advice. I like them really wish you well and hope you get the results you are looking for one day.Comment

Funny you should ask that. I've actually tried Susan Mernsteins formula. She used to be Dr. Klein's pharmacist. And I'm using thirty percent Minoxidil, combined with .1% Finasteride and .5% Progesterone. And I have pictures. This was from medicalwellnesscenter.
Also, I have a friend who is using Dr. Klein's formula, and is happy with that as well. Although he has been using it for less than a month now.
FYI: I am in my mid/late forties. Been balding since my twenties.Comment

I would just buzz it short, and save your $$ for something worthwhile... like retirement or charity.Comment
