Sounds like you're lucky to have a supportive GF mate? I guess she already see's you as attractive..myself, i'm single early 40's, tho i'm told i'm handsome, but inside due to thinning hair feel very un-attractive, It's all bullshit - i'm just thinking of buzzing and accepting my fate, but even at my age - it's hard.

Regarding you're swinger's, i can't comment on that, perhaps you should throw that one out in the general forum, i'm sure someone could shed light on it dude.

Me and my GF are an entirely sep issue. actually she doesn't like the fact I am stopping already but I cant risk anymore possible perm damage.
She understands but honestly Im 33, and my relationship is not the best. I wont turn this into a therapy session but to sum it up I dont like that my options have been limited because of my hair.
Again my brother is 2 years younger but still passes as his 20's because of his hair. He can still pick up girls int heir 20's, and he never works out, while I was such a great looking guy in my 20's I pissed it all away in this relationship and feel trapped now. Now Im lucky if a chubby one looks my way.

No worries mate, if it helps talking about it carry on.

I've got an older brother, he's 48 - still got every hair on his head, can you imagine how bad I feel about that? no one else in my family is bald, I'm turning into the ugly duckling.

I feel similar to you, I stay in a lot now, should be out, but I play on my ps3 or scrape away on here.

I feel ya. My sis and brother both have great heads of hair but had awful teeth. We were pretty poor so they got themselves braces in adult hood. They like to say "at least your teeth are good" but honestly I would bash every tooth from my mouth and wear dentures over being bald. Least for that I could make up a cool story like a bar fight... for this what do you do.
Ive had grays since highschool, If it was all gray I would be happy but it kills me that I will have nothing.
My GF has put on a ton of weight (as most will) and honestly I feel like she thinks she can throw this in my face over it, like "its okay im fat, your bald, that makes us a perfect match." To be honest I would rather have a bald girl with a banging body than a fat girl with great hair.
I want to run but we bought this stupid house, and honestly I dont feel like I would have many other options. Being alone doesnt bug me but being alone while my brother is still gallivanting with 24 year old girls kills me. Forgot to mention my GF is older than me to. Was fun for a bit but now its catching up.

Hopefully I will bounce back from these sides again normally and have that much going. I would shave again but looking at pics its just not me. I have a massive forehead and an "Italian nose" and it just looks awful as the main focus.

good God I think the depression side effect is kicking in lol

It's an ass mate, have you tried RU? I'm looking at that. I've got my propecia, it's at my local post office, going to collect tomorrow. Too scared to take it tho, shall return it for a refund.

Last time I shaved my head was thirty years ago, not happy about revisiting that, I hated it as a young boy too with a minus one nw hairline lol.

Hope the side's abate dude, it's a tough fight, but gotta keep it up

I know the sides will pass again (knocking on wood... hmm pun lol). I work out a lot and eat/live super healthy.
I dont look at it as its an ass. Its a reflection of me and my worth if that makes sense.
What RU?
Im dying for histogen to release I have been on their mailing list since word started coming out. I thought hair cloning would happen but they wouldnt go because the hair grew erratic... who CARES thats what gel is for and bed head is in now anyway.
I wish I went in to biology instead of computers perhaps I could have been the one to cure this (but again didnt really grow up rich so I went for community college had to offer)

If I were you and your contemplating trying it just take one dose every two days. Maybe take one this week, then 2 next. See how you react. If you think there are MANY meications that have sexual sides we take and never think about. If you feel weird then stop.

[Jcm800]

Ru is like an experimental treatment, there's a few threads on here, have a look around dude.

Histogen is exciting yes, but at what price? I'm not wealthy myself, even if it were available tomorrow I couldn't afford it no doubt..

A respected poster named Desmond suggested I try 0.25mg fin twice per week, he says it hopefully should keep sides down, but I'm still apprehensive.

Part of me says try it tho, maybe I will. Really don't know

I dont think any pricing for histogen has even been announced at all.

As for the sides. I took 2 doses and I feel like Im as bad again as when i took 8 months. Im pretty worried this time around I pushed it. I may go back to my docs and get anti biotics again just to speed up recovery.

[Jcm800]

Hey swingline747 hows things? Hope your sides have backed off?

UK - Hows it going with that RU cream fella? Have you started Fin again yet?

Haven't looked into the RU cream yet.
Mainly waiting for my Ed sides to go away. I can get it going fine but random ones area problem again. Also still dealing with some groin pain.
I stopped the fin all together. The sides are too much for me.

I think I'll get back to normal in a few weeks..... Fingers crossed

[Jcm800]

Hope things look up soon, I'm still on the fence about damn finasteride, unfortunate guys like you self have sides and put me off, others praise it and it entices me, dunno what to do..

Thanks akai, appreciate your post. Think you'll find UK has taken finasteride for three months I believe, and has erectile issues from it, that haven't abated after quitting.

I'm trying keretene at present, although I believe it's most likely a scam and shall be trying fin before long.

Over two and a half years in, I usually bust one or two nuts a day (lol, too much info). Either when I have a gf/fwb or fapping. Apparently my dick hasn't received the memo if that makes you feel any better. Also went from 150ish to 180ish now from two years of lifting. Clearly this drug affects people differently so no one will know if you will get sides or not. UK has a very strong opinion about a drug he's never taken. He's said on this forum that you are destined for e.d. and it will prohibit you from gaining muscle. Hasn't happened to me or my friends who take it. Not saying you won't get sides, that's just from my experience. Don't let some random guy who is probably almost completely bald stop you from keeping your hair. The early you start the better. Like I've said before everyone on here who has had success on finasteride wishes they would of started earlier. Right now I take 0.5mg every other day and Nizoral 2% once or twice per week. Was on 0.5 mg per day but switched due to availability about a year ago and stayed the course because it has kept my hair.

Good luck.

try but if you feel anthing STOP. I would say do not try it a second time because thats what put me in the worse boat. I am keeping positive that Ill fully recover again but its just freaky more than anything.

Im going to look into transplants now start filling in now before its just way to late.
