I'd honestly rather be dead than deal with hair loss

Gee, thanks for your input and insight. I came here for support and I get bashed, I really appreciate it.

And I wouldn't be as upset if all men in their 40s and over lose their hair, but we all know that's not the case.

Ignore the comments ....plenty of people on here will support you.

Wait , what? 6 foot 1 on 230 (104kg) muscle on 10% body fat at an age of 38? My senses tell me that ain't natural.

9 out of 10 you use creatine or AAS.

>_> Pretty far from unheard of. You only need half-decent genes. Maybe at 48 it would be unusual but 38? AAS means steroids right? Lol... how are you going to compare creatine to steroids? Is there even any evidence that creatine helps with muscle building?

I don't understand posts like this.

That said, I'm jealous... I noticed my hair loss at 26.5, I can't really hide it now (just turned 28), and I'm barely 5'10" in the morning.

I totally agree. If a person can't even handle hairloss in his 40s, how can he withstand the other tough things in life. That guy is a pathetic whiner.

Not to mention, older men who are fat, out of shape, terribly unkempt, and have no personalities. Yet despite all this, they have juvenile hairlines. It's more than annoying, it's downright maddening.

Yeah I know it's so unfair.

No, balding in your 40's IS actually the norm. 2/3 start losing their hair by the age of 35. Quit being such a whiner. You got to live your life, your youth with hair. A lot of us never had that luxury. I started to lose my hair at 17, I was in high school for god's sake. Can you imagine the pain? I was completely bald in my third year of university. So excuse me if I'd just like to slap you on the face you crybaby.

25. I was completely bald, but I had a hair transplant 8 months ago: https://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showth...d-NW5-from-DPA

I had a transplant with the same guy. My loss was an a pattern though [Restricted only to the front] so while my hair loss looked extremely advanced at 21 [The entire front third gone] luckily the transplant was able to mask most of it.

Dang only 5% at 17? I must have been really screwed for 13. And your right about how it can be a death sentence Fred, because no one is going to give you a chance in this world. Still, I haven't done too bad and you just have to strive to be the exception.

[fred970]

How old are you now? And are you completely bald?

Hair loss seems to be the least of your worries. It sucks at any age but you're not going to miss out on much suffering at the age of 40. It's a social norm.

Obviously you haven't developed much confidence or personal growth during your youth if you're acting like a child at 40.

At 17 it's death, but not at 40. I can't imagine all the things I would have been able to do with my life before I hit 40.

But at 17? You didn't even have the chance to start your life. Of course there are men with full heads of hair at 40, but they're minority, therefore suffering from hair loss is the norm at that age.

You know what percentage of the masculine population starts to go bald at 17? Something like 5%.

You can thank my NPD and BPD for that.
You're right. My vanity never allowed me to mature and now that I'm losing my hair it's a great situation I'm in.

If that's the case why are there men in their 40s and older with full heads of hair?
Man I'm sorry for what happened to you. I can't even imagine that at that age.
Lol @ I'd like to slap you in your face you crybaby

[fred970]

I don't think it has anything to do with that. Otherwise why would women get thinning?
I've also seen older men (in their 50s) in great shape with all their hair.


No!!!! it's NOT normal to be 40 and losing your hair. I know and have a lot of friends in their mid 30s and older who have full heads of hair, with NO sign they will ever lose it

I won't actually commit suicide I'm too chicken shit to do that. It's just sending me down this spiral of depression that I can't seem to get out of. And it's not like I'm staying at home locked up like a hermit. I go out and party every weekend and I don't want to brag but I've been with a lot of women (not that that's a measure of anything, just saying it for context). It just sucks so bad when you're dressed to the nines and you go out and all you can think about is your gawd damn hair loss.

Wow, is this guy for real....? I actually had a fair amount of empathy/sympathy for this guy, as i do with all suicidal members on this forum, because i am also extremely suicidal over my hair loss. But this comment says alot about you, imo. Your extremely narcissistic and highly ignorant. Its extremely normal for men prone to MPB to start showing signs around the age of 40. In fact, you are extremely lucky that you made iit this far without any sign of thinning.

Try living at the ripe age of 21, when your life has barely started, and have to deal with agressive hairloss thats resistent to all treatments.
Im sure the majority of all of the hair loss forum members who suffer from actuall hair loss would love to be in your shoes, in regards to your hair situation and would give the world to have no noticible signs of hair loss until the age of 40 !!! (i would bet billions on the validity of that statement <<<)
You dont even know what REAL DEPRESSION,BEING SUICIDAL and ANXIETY feels Like !

With all due respect, Grow a ****ing pair, you old ****ing fart.

A man with a full head of hair but fat and with wide hips, has most likely kept his hair due to low testosterone/high estrogen.

Cool another one of those "I'm getting bald and/or grey at 40. I'm so unlucky"-guys. Sorry these threads make me cynical.
Don't get me wrong. I understand going bald is not a ride in the park at any age. It's not fun and it's something unpleasant to having to deal with.
But you're getting 40 in a year or less. What's happening to your hair is not abnormal at that age, sometimes even expected. Most us on this forum went through it in our teens or early 20's when we were like 1 out of 30-40 in our age group and girls and classmates in (nor we ourselves) had a mature outlook on the matter. At 40 (or 39) you're expected to have grown some character to deal with these kind of adversities.

If you really think hairloss and greying hair is a reason for suicide, you really ought to get some perspective.
